STREET SHADOW

(Talbots sweater, thrifted pants, G by Guess offords, gifted purse, gifted and other vintage rings)

How awesome is the shadow in these shots? This could possibly be my favorite background ever. Credit given to Rebekka for pointing it out while we were walking down the street! Love these wide leg chiffon pants I found thrifting awhile ago. Paired a 'pop of color' sweater with them, and I was a happy girl. Should have rolled up the sleeves a little more (as you can see), but it was a bit chilly outside today. It was my attempt at staying warm. Spring weather, I am ready for you now so please come soon.

Tomorrow is Friday, which means the weekend is so close to being here! Excited to be here in the city after spending last weekend back home. Do you have any exciting plans?

J BRAND STYLING EVENT

(wearing: thrifted Talbots sweater, Nally & Millie white crochet dress, Diba leopard booties, Michael Kors rose gold watch, other random and thrifted jewelry)

This past Friday night was the Denim Event at South Moon Under in Clarendon. The night was filled with lots of shopping, styling, and socializing. Mary Amons from The Real Housewives of DC was SMU's special guest. She was excited to find herself a pair of J Brand denim and also some SMU merchandise to pair them with. Loving the felt hat she ended up pairing with a bohemian peasant top. J Brand stylists were sizing and fitting shoppers to find the perfect pair. I must say I was pretty impressed with Oscar's talent to make women love a pair of jeans. He definitely added some fun to the evening with his great personality. Apple cider cosmos were served along with cupcakes from Georgetown Cupcake that featured the J Brand logo.

Don't forget to shop South Moon Under for 20% off denim during the limited time Denim Event!

TEXAS REALLY IS PRETTY

(Talbots tee, thrifted maxi skirt, Jeffrey Campbell sandals, vintage jewelry, aviators from Charming Charlie) 

 My little cousin and I went over to this park after getting some much needed iced coffee tonight. It has become my new favorite place here in McKinney. Just wishing I experienced it sooner. Everyone says Texas is not that pretty, but I think the view there proves that statement wrong. 

One week until I am back home. Getting super excited!

OUT OF FOCUS

(thrifted belt, Talbots tee, Forever 21 shorts)

Didn't get to take full outfit pics today. Instead, I snapped a picture in my cousin's room that I took over for the summer. Loving one of my latest purchased items -- a rainbow braided belt! Gonna be easy to add some color to an outfit now. 

Here are some words to think about as you start a new week. I read this tonight, and I wanted to share it with you all. It's inspiration that I have been really needing lately.

 It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in

what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change 

there is power.
