Sunny Spring Yellow

I’m on a yellow kick lately. There’s something so bright and cheerful about daffodil and marigold shades of yellow I’ve had it on constant rotation. I recently share this yellow maxi dress and this adorable top with you guys! Today’s it’s all about the gorgeous cabana stripes on this Caroline Constas top. Statement tops are perfect for resort wear styles and vacation. This same top would look adorable with a midi or maxi skirt, a pair of skinny jeans or linen pants. Dressed up or dressed down it’s dramatic and flattering. I decided to wear it with a pair of cropped pants I picked up from Amazon the Drop and pops of white accessories. Although this top is more of an investment piece, I rounded up a few under $100 below for you to shop! To top things off I added a little gold jewelry and a bright yellow satchel I’ve had for years!

What to Wear to Thanksgiving

With Thanksgiving being less than two weeks away it’s time to pull together a few looks for the day of feasting. It’s the perfect day for elastic waistbands but before you go pulling out your sweatpants let me introduce a few other ideas that are classy and comfortable. First up is a chunky knit cream colored sweater I found on Amazon. It’s super soft and not itchy at all. I’m really picky when it comes to buying fabrics. Anything that doesn’t feel good on my skin ends up getting tossed or donated so I try to be selective with the things I order these days. I paired it with these relaxed, drawstring trousers that are full-length on a shorty like me but would be cropped for someone with longer legs. Add a pair of beautiful heels and a classic structured bag for a complete look!

Fall Picnic in the Park

Every Fall and Spring my daughter and I make it a point to get out of the house and go for a picnic. We’ve been doing this for years at this point and it just never gets old. We’ve spent holidays like Mother’s Day on a picnic and then sometimes just go on a whim to enjoy the scenery around us. The weather in Texas is always hot. Well, at least 3/4 of the year so when weather cools down enough, we take advantage of everything nature has to offer. About a week ago we decided to pack up at golden hour and have our dinner outdoors. There were ducks swimming just feet away from us and the whole scene felt like we were in a storybook. Making memories like that with her fills my heart so much! When was the last time you had a picnic? Believe it or not they are really easy to throw together!
