Laidback Lilac

     I've found the perfect transitional top to tide you over through the last few weeks (hopefully) of chilly weather.  This oversized thermal can be worn a variety of ways and is so soft and cozy!  I love the knotted look but you can also wear it buttoned all the way down, or layer over a tee or cami and unbutton it like a cardigan.  It comes in a variety of colors but this springy lilac was my favorite (although I'm sure I'll be snagging one or two more colors soon!).   You can shop all my outfit details linked above + below!

Spring Floral Maxi + Sneakers

      I'm still in denial that there's snow on the ground outside and I just can't bring myself to put a sweater on anymore!  This sheer dress from Blush Box Co. is super unique and perfect for layering and transitioning into spring!  It is kind of a jumper silhouette, so you definitely need to wear a top or slip dress underneath.  I wore a bodysuit on top with leggings on the bottom underneath it.  I have also worn it with a long sleeve tee on top without the cardigan/duster.  I can't wait to layer it with a simple slip dress underneath for the summer too!  This black, lightweight duster is a another great layering option for spring too and is so soft and comfy!  You can shop all my outfit details above + below!

Spring Favorites from Target's New Universal Thread Line

     PSA: Everyone needs to head to Target and check out their newest line, Universal Thread.   All the pieces are very reminiscient of the style of Madewell but at Target prices, and I seriously love every piece!  This wrap dress and cardigan were two of my first purchases from the line and I'm sure they won't be the last.  My blush mules are also from Target (from the A New Day line) and they are another spring necessity!  You can shop all my outfit details and some more of my Universal Thread favorites below!

Denim + Sheer Spring Floral Blouse

   We've getting peeks of spring here in Kentucky (but mostly LOTS of rain) and I could not be more ready for some sunny, warm weather!  This time of year I'm all about bridging that gap between winter and spring with transitional outfits.  This blouse from Gathered Mercantile vendor, Blush Box Co., is perfect for spring with the cutest floral embroidery details and sheer material.  A denim jacket is my go-to for layering with lighter-weight spring pieces while it's still colder out.

Valentine's Day

     Happy Valentine's Day!  This fun shoot with pops of pastel + red was one of my favorites to date!  I knew I wanted to shoot in front of one of my favorite houses in Lexington in Gratz Park.  This home reminds me of a Charleston house on rainbow row!  The star of my outfit is this faux fur pastel jacket (which I snagged on clearance at Target!).  Since it's currently not online, I linked tons of similar options below!  I paired it with another Target fave, this mock neck sweater (also seen here) which was the perfect pop of red to match my heart balloons!  I've also been loving Maybelline's new matte ink lipcolors, and this Heroine shade is the perfect bright red!  You can shop all of my outfit details which are linked for you above + below!
