Going For The Green

Tuesday was St. Patrick’s Day- even if it didn’t feel like it! Parades were canceled and even the river in Chicago wasn’t dyed green. It’s hard to fathom exactly everything that is going on right now but this too shall pass. There will come an end to this madness at some point. I will continue to post for you all as I can and continue to show you all the cute outfits and looks that you can wear post-quarantine.

The color green is actually my favorite color in the crayon box. I love all shades of it and I think I look good in it and it matches my eyes! (As if you all just asked me why, here’s my answer...) 

Green is actually a mix of blue and yellow. You probably learned that in kindergarten but it’s the mix of those colors in the spectrum colored like grass or emeralds. 

Green is usually associated with nature, renewal, life, freshness, safety, fertility and the environment. It can also be associated with greed, jealousy, ambition, and finance. Just like any color in the rainbow, green can be positive or negative! 

I have four looks from Eloquii that I’ll be showing you that are all various shades of green! I will continue to post as much as I can so you all can continue to read and look at pictures. I think it’s important to try to keep some things as normal and I know you’ll all be still wearing clothes and looking to buy new things! We’re all in this together! 

I had a hard time deciding which look to post first! I’m loving all four looks and they’re all so different! 

This first look is a two piece set that consists of a sleeveless jacket and wide leg pants. It’s a fun take on a “suit” and my favorite part is actually the pants! I love these wide leg pants and they will be worn multiple ways! The jacket can be worn with the pants or maybe even as a vest or with a straight skirt of some sort. For now I’ve just put the two pieces together and I love it!

The second look is this straight dress with these awesome sleeves! It’s a dark color of green and I just love the silhouette of it! I think the straightness of the dress, the length of the dress and the sleeves make it such a unique choice to wear! I paired it with nude heels because I like the longer leaner look of the leg and my leopard clutch. I’d feel very elegant wearing this out somewhere!

The third look is this fun sequined dress! I loved putting this on and going out to take a picture in it only to find the rainbow road in Grand Rapids! I forgot that there was one to be totally honest until I saw it! It was perfect timing! This green sequin dress is paired with some white booties and a lemon bag and earrings for fun!

Now maybe you’re reading this and you’re like, I like green, but maybe not so much of it! I have you covered too! This last look is so pretty and I can’t wait until the weather warms up so I can wear it! I love this maxi dress that has green in it and is a halter style. It’s fully lined and just an altogether beautiful dress!

So, what do you think? Are you ready to go for the green? Which look from Eloquii was your favorite? It’s so hard to choose!! 

Thanks for reading and following along with me!

There’s a new cute little boutique hotel in town named  Sugar‘s Inn  and I’m obsessed with the cuteness! It’s upstairs of one of Galveston’s finest restaurants  Sugar and Rye . Spoiler alert: I’ll be doing a giveaway with them over on Instagram too! Nothing better than a couple of nights away!

Less Bitter, More Glitter

Image
The saying goes "Spread Kindness around like Glitter" -okay it is really "Spread Kindness around like Confetti", but why not glitter instead? Glitter can be messy, it can be hard to clean up and can be fun and colorful. Just like our lives. Just a friendly reminder that this time of year can especially be a hard time for people. Holidays are a time when a lot of people see their friends and family but sometimes people don’t have anyone. Or maybe there are some people who don’t have much money to get gifts. Or some are remembering those that are no longer with us here on earth. Regardless of how you do or do not celebrate, remember to throw kindness around freely! Less bitterm more glitter! It’s a great time to spread cheer but so is all year!   Show a smile to a stranger or pay for someone’s drink behind you in line. Write someone a note to tell them how much you appreciate them. Random acts of kindness are good all throughout the year. When all els

Chic Soul May New Arrivals

This post is sponsored by  Chic Soul .  Now I already know what you’re thinking- what is she doing posting May content in the middle of June? Well as you all know, there has just been so much going on that sometimes posts like this one get delayed. Sometimes it’s more important to follow along with the way the world is going and prioritize other things that mean more like the Black Lives Matter movement. Sometimes work we do as bloggers and influencers needs to be delayed so the focus can really be on what matters or what is going on in the world. This is just one of those times.  Now you all know that I won’t disappoint you with these fresh new looks! I chose a couple of dresses and a couple of casual looks. I can’t believe I’m wearing shorts in two of these looks! You all know I’m normally a dress wearing gal but I do love some fun casual looks as well! Over on my Instagram, I did try-ons and had people vote for which look they wanted to see first. The first look was this navy one th
