it started with a necklace

I've been obsessing over this statement necklace for the last few days!! It's SO pretty... even prettier in person than pictures can show!  I decided to build a cute, girly outfit around it! {details below}
The necklace, tank and metallic blazer are all from Kohls.  The skirt is from the Proenza Schouler for Target collection.  The clutch is LOFT and the pumps are Guess.  Unfortunately, most of these pieces are on the older side and are no longer available.  But this is a simple outfit to recreate and you probably have many of these pieces in your closet now!  

Tanks and T-shirts + flowing, girly skirts is a huge trend right now!  I love the mix of casual and sassy! I can't help but think of Carrie Bradshaw's infamous little pink & white dress with this trend! 
Choose a plain tank top, any color and pair it with a sassy skirt and you're good to go!  I decided to class it up a little with a fancier blazer.  The light cream color is daytime appropriate but the gold metallic weave gives it more interest and pulls out the gold in the necklace!
Happy Monday loves!  Hope your week is off to a fabulous start!

Outfit Art

My style is pretty simple usually.  I like a lot of black and white and I really love pops of bright color!  Many times the bright color is infused throughout my outfit, but today I went black & white all over with my accessories being the only color.
 I've had this shirt for years and I honestly don't remember where I purchased it.  My guess would be Kohls or Target... just playin' the odds ;-) It's one of those super soft t-shirts that you could live in.  And I just love the graphic on the front.... a sassy lady with her handbag.  Looks like she's going shopping to me! And these pants! UH-bsessed! The houndstooth pattern gives the pants a solid look from afar and they are so comfortable and easy to dress up or down.  They are from Stein Mart.  I LOVE Stein Mart because it's like shopping boutiques but with sales and coupons and a much bigger selection.  Every time I'm wearing something extremely unique and people ask where it's from, the answer is usually Stein Mart. 
 The leather bag is Coach and it has become a staple in my wardrobe over the last year.  This bag was a  post-Christmas purchase with gift cards last year.  I went into the Coach store with the intention of buying a neutral leather bag... like black.  Everyone needs a black bag.  Well true to form, as soon as I saw the color, I was done.  This bag's color is "persimmon".  Chris makes fun of me because he called it "salmon" the other day and I corrected him.  (I mean, c'mon, NOT even close to salmon lol... MEN!) But I fell in love with this color and I debated in the store, by myself, for probably an hour.  The poor sales girls didn't know how to help me HA but I finally opted for the bright bag over black.  And surprisingly, it has served as a neutral in my wardrobe.  It just seems to go with everything! Well, except my neons! I love the mix of the orangey-red with the purple suede shoes.  The heels are Guess.
 
 Chris and I had a great time at our first DMA Late Night event!  It's rare for us to venture to Dallas, but we're always up for museums and free events.  It was definitely right up our alley!  Live music, drinks, food, and free art!  I think art gallery events are my favorite because they bring together all of my loves!  And I really enjoy discussing art with Chris.  We learn from each other and get to know a side of each other that doesn't come out every day.  We will definitely be going back!
P.S. THIS HAIR! How much longer can I hold out from cutting it?! I'm sweating over here! ;-)
