{Friday's Fancies} Chambray Summer

I purchased a denim shirt earlier this year, but have only worn it a few times

 because I'm not sure how to style it. Of course, I turned to Pinterest for some inspiration

I'm so excited to see what outfits other bloggers put together for this week's Friday's Fancies!

Here's my look, transitioning chambray into summer

hope you have a lovely weekend my dears!

back to basics :: black + white

As I get, ahem, older...I find my style simplifying. I'm drawn to the clean and sophisticated look of black + white, in all areas from home decor to fashion.

There's just something about this combination, it's instantly chic and pulled together.

These looks seem so effortless yet so stylish.

are you loving it too? 

or is it too boring for you?

hope it's a lovely day,

{wear that room} floral + dalmation

Oh Pinterest, you always know how to steal my heart. Just flash me an image of a crisp living room filled with floral art and dalmation-patterned chairs. Swoon. Pops of pink + gold in the room and the outfit are the perfect accent. 

Don't you just love this room?!

here's to a wonderful week, full of lots of pretty!

{Friday's Fancies} Color Crush :: Grey

{dress (similar) // heels (similar) // sunglasses // bag}

First of all, is grey a color?!

I was so excited that this week's Friday's Fancies 

was about our color crush, naturally I was going to pick orange!

But I decided to spare you all from yet another orange/OSU football themed post ;)

I've been majorly crushing on the color grey lately...such a perfect neutral

And while it may traditionally be associated with colder months, 

I think adding a pop of neon makes it just right for summer

are you loving grey?

what colors are you mixing it with?

and to all the moms, happy mother's day weekend!

I owe it all to mine, love you Lili

{lookbook} pink pants

I love these pink pants! There's not much more to be said.  Must admit, I was a bit self-conscious when I wore this outfit last week, prancing around town, running errands for the bachelorette party.  They always put a little kick in my step and make me feel like I'm transported from my little Oklahoma town to the streets of Paris.  But I've said it before, I think I may be a bit much for the locals here in my hometown! ;)

The styling was kept simple, just a sheer BCBG top with lace trim and black patent Michael Kors wedges. I clipped a jeweled flower pin to my shirt and threw on my staple accessories: pearls, gold chain + monogram necklace.

Are you prancing in pink pants?

hope you have a fabulous day whether you're in small town, 

fashion capital or somewhere in between

{ps}:
the beloved barn where I used to take my OOTD photos was recently torn down
so sorry, you're stuck with this boring brick wall for now
at least until I scout out a new location

{fashion files} summertime blues

Confession time: I am a bad dresser in the summer.

Well let me rephrase that, I have no idea how to dress for warm weather.

Give me a cool fall night and I'll show you a stylish & chic outfit.

But as soon as the weather gets hot, I'm clueless.

Who can think about looking put-together when you're melting?!

I don't really like to wear shorts, so most of the time I'm in dresses. 

I just feel so limited.

If I could wear one outfit all summer long, it would definitely be this:

so please help a sister out

what do y'all wear in the summer?

what's your go-to outfit?

do you wear shorts? pedal-pushers?

help!

{ps}:
the bachelorette party in Dallas was amazing!
so wonderful to spend time with one of my closest childhood friends
I haven't laughed that hard in a long time
my heart is full
