Three Looks with a Floral Spring Dress

Today’s post is showcasing three ways to wear a floral spring dress. These combinations are paired with items you may already own or have something really similar to in each outfit. I love being able to switch a favorite piece up and wear it different ways. Today I’ll show you how to wear a pretty long sleeve floral dress for brunch with the girls, a stroll through the park and then a date night worthy look! Starting out is a floral dress so I’ve rounded up a few that are similar here for you to shop:

Start off the day with brunch and wear the beautiful floral dress with a fun straw hat and pink bag. For daytime activities I like to wear a pair of comfortable block heels featured here or ballet flats. A block heel gives you just a little lift but won’t kills your feet if you take a stroll around the block. This is also a perfect look for going to an outdoor picnic, walking through a garden or museum and brunch on the patio.

A few places to consider around town for brunch include the Dish Society, Whiskey Cake, and I really love going to local coffee shops. Weather permitting I always opt to sit on the patio and feel the sunshine stream down. There’s something so relaxing about a cool breeze on your face and sunshine.

For errand running, attending kids weekend games or events and shopping find yourself a platform sneaker! I was skeptical until I came across these perfect periwinkle lace sneakers last weekend. I love how effortlessly they go with this new Longchamp foldable tote. I’ve been eyeing the tote for years and decided with all of the traveling I do it was a good idea. Sure enough it came in the mail over the weekend and I couldn’t wait to take it out for a spin!

Parks and gardens are the perfect setting for getting your steps in while observing beautiful scenery. Some of my favorite include Mercer Botannical Garden seen in the photographs here, the Rose Garden at Hermann Memorial Park and White Oak Trail. There are so many pretty spots in the city, but you have to get out of the car and step on foot to find some of these beauties. If you are looking to do a little shopping consider 19th and Yale in the Heights or pop over to Montrose for second hand and vintage finds!

Oh the teetering platform sandals with heights that are disco worthy takes this dress from mom to magnificent. A shoe really can change the tone of an entire outfit. Since this dress is made out of a knit and fairly modest turn up the heat by adding a sexy shoe. Also, for date night, it’s good to not have to worry about a purse in hand so grab a leather cross body for an evening out!

Houston is full of cute date night spots! I just wrote one of eight eateries you can visit if you are looking to go on a date locally. Also, consider some of the activities mentioned in my post on gifts for each love language. Quality time is more than sitting next to each other at dinner looking into the phone. It’s about connecting, laughing and sharing joy.

Wanted to give you guys something new this week and a round of Amazon dresses was long overdue! When it’s hot outside I reach for flowy dresses instead of tight-fitting clothes. It’s so humid here in College Station that I need a break from feeling like my clothes are stuck to my skin! Today I’m sharing a few of my absolute favorite pieces from this season. You can shop all of them on my Amazon Storefront here.

Three Heel Clicks - Making Magical Moments
Making Magical Moments

When this blog was initially created, I set out to share the magic that happened in my life on a daily basis. I had no idea at the blog would become my life story a decade later. I seek every single day to find magical moments. Life is busy. There’s so much happening. Slowing down in the mornings and evenings has given me the ability to discover more magic. Sometimes it’s how the sky lights up at sunset on a walk with the cool breeze blowing across the grass. Sometimes it’s the light wind rustling in trees and the way they look like pieces of lace overlapping one another against a blue background. Sometimes it’s the giggles of my daughter or the jokes we make on our drives together. Seeking magic every day is what makes life sweeter. Here are a few ways to make each day special…

Alcohol Free For Three Years Now (and life lessons learned)

Wow. I am in a little disbelief that I am typing these words, but today (which is March 22, 2022) marks three full years since my last drink. Over the course of the past three years, I’ve meta morphed into the best version of myself so far. As I journaled early this morning I realized just how far I’ve come and what it took to get here. I thought I’d share a few life lessons in today’s post. If you are considering removing alcohol from your life then this is the post for you. This is what changed over three years. Some of it I didn’t think was possible. Some of these things required day-by-day focus. Some of it just fell into place. All of it is my testimony to making the best choice for myself. These days I feel alive and I feel like most days I thrive. The complete opposite of where I was a few years back.

Since we all finally made it to Spring, I am pulling out all the best florals! I love the landscape this time of year in Texas with all of the wildflowers and infamous Bluebonnets are in bloom. I usually transfer that inspiration over into my wardrobe. From statement earrings in the shape of flowers to embellished handbags, you can add a touch of florals without being overkill. The dress I featured below is Hunter Bell NYC. It’s made of the thinnest (without being see-through) material that is perfect for layering this time of year. I actually wore this to a women’s luncheon and received a ton of compliments on it. I grabbed this old clutch I love and my favorite classic Sarah Flint pumps (save $50 here)! The look was effortless and glam at the same time! I put together a list below of some of my favorite floral pieces you can shop for! The price points start at under $50 and also include luxury options!

Self-talk and the Mirror

A few years ago whenever I looked in the mirror I saw someone who was a failure. I talked to her that way, too. I’d say things like, “You are not getting things right today.” Or “This isn’t your day.”

I began avoiding mirrors. I saw every single flaw in myself every single day. Then, one day a mentor of mine told me to say one positive thing for every negative thing I said.

Looking back, what I was going through was depression. I was so tired every day. I was angry at how life turned out and I felt like everything was my fault. Depression is a lot of work to manage. It’s a level of fatigue that makes taking a shower feel like an Olympic sport. But I kept going. Each time I said something crappy to myself, I stop and say something positive.

Picking Out New Shoes at the Sarah Flint Dallas Pop - Up Store

A few weeks ago I made a short trip to Dallas where I visited the Sarah Flint store. My daughter and I were having a girl’s weekend and decided while we were there to see the beautiful decor at the Sarah Flint pop-up shop! I was so impressed when I arrived. It felt like I was stepping into Sarah’s living room. In fact, the decor was inspired by her own home! We were quickly greeted by the sweetest associate who offered us fresh chocolate chip cookies and tea. The recipe was from Sarah’s grandmother! I love to shop but this was a completely different experience in all the good ways! We took a stroll around the store and admired the beautiful floral wallpaper, soft seating to try on your shoes, and the classic gold shelving that displayed all of the Sarah Flint accessories like scarves and barrettes. No stone was left unturned in the store!

Every now and then I love doing a refresh on my bedroom and bath. Being that I sleep and get ready in these areas every day I try to replace items that get worn over time. I recently refreshed my bedroom by purchasing a new floral quilt for my bed. I love the pretty blue and white pattern with the scalloped edge. I also refreshed my towels with these super soft striped turkish towels (which were such a steal I might add). Finally, I’ll be putting these floral wall decals up on the wall behind my bed in leu of paint. Sometimes a few changes make a really big difference!

An Afternoon of Unwinding to Get Your Glow Back

If you are currently feeling constant pressure, it’s time to put a boundary in your life for you. You have to refill your cup before you can fill others. You have to slow down, get rest, read books for fun, put your thoughts on paper, practice good skincare and treat yourself to a day for you. You may be sitting here reading this and think, I wouldn’t even know what to do with myself if I had a day. Start small, carve out time for you to take a bath each night after kids go to bed. Get up a little bit earlier so you can read a book that puts you in a good mental place. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy… so give yourself a little play time. You’ll be able to take care of your responsibilities with a renewed sense of energy and focus. You’ll be able to love on your family better and you’ll be able to recognize when something isn’t a healthy choice in your life. Go ahead and treat yo’self!
