TGIF/Bringing it Back!

Happy Friday Friends!  What are you up to this weekend?  I'll be running a fundraising event for work tomorrow and hanging out with family on Sunday.  Btw, who's excited for the Fourth??!  I know I am!  I'm even more excited because I get to go to Montana for a couple of days with the BF to stay with some friends.  So excited!

Anyway, last week I hinted at a trend I'd like to bring back.  A trend that will greatly expand the versatility of your dresses!  Let's bring back the shirt-tied-up-over-a-dress look!  I know, I might be crazy, but during #StyleMeMarch we were challenged to "layer over or under a dress" so I wore this:

And I find myself continuing to layer over dresses.  It's great!  Here is my look from last week:



Blouse: Necessary Clothing, Dress: New York & Co, Shoes: Pour La Victoire, Necklace: J.Crew, Watch: Fossil 



Everyone on Instagram thought this was a skirt!  So like I said, let's bring it back!  Or I guess I will :).

Have a fantastic weekend!

Statement Prepster

Wore this necklace for #stylememarch "statement necklace." 

Sweater: Target, Shirt: Forever 21, Capris: Ann Taylor, Shoes: Jessica Simpson, Necklace: JoAnn Fabrics (random, I know!), Bracelet: J. Crew 

I've been dressing/feeling very preppy lately.  I can't explain why but the sweaters layered with button ups (and even just button ups on their own) has been my go-to as of late.  Even for casual weekend settings...  Maybe I'm just practicing for my trip to Tennessee in two weeks?

I feel like I should invest in a pair of boat shoes soon to just put the icing on the cake for spring/summer.  Hm....

#StyleMeMarch: Over A Dress

So, yesterday probably wasn't the best day to be bare-legged.  While it looks nice and sunny in these photos the wind was just chilling.  I felt a little silly by the end of the day but, oh well!  At least I liked my outfit! 

Dress worn as skirt: BCBG, Shirt: J. Crew, Shoes: Gianni Bini, Necklace & Bracelet: BaubleBar, Watch: Fossil

This was my look for StyleMeMarch "over a dress."  What do you think?

TGIF/Week in Review

I don't know about you but it's been another long week for me! 

I like to keep this blog focused on Fashion but sometimes I think I'll share more of my life with you.  I hope that's ok :).

I have been focusing really hard on healty eating the last couple of weeks and this week I started incorporating exercising again.  This leg workout from Fitness Magazine is a butt kicker!  Btw, have you heard of #BAMfit?  It's a huge Instagram thing but you can find all the workouts on Webstagram (just search for @kmaecags or @petitefi).  I actually know Krissy personally and I think that what she is doing is great. 

Every now and then it's nice to treat yourself to a nice bottle of wine (and this is one of my favorites!) so I plan on having some of this along with a tasty potato salad:

I think I'm also going to check out some new healthy food Pinterests (as suggested by Shape Magazine).

And of course catching up on my blogging!! I have a ton of outfits from #StyleMeMarch to show you!

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Catching Up

Hope you all had a fab weekend.  I'm playing a little catch up this morning.  This outfit was from last week, Style Me March: LBD at Work.  I dressed it up with a blazer and decided to throw in the colored tights to avoid an entirely neutral outfit (this is me not being so afraid of color and incorporating it into my wardrobe more).

Blazer: Forever 21, Dress: Express, Tights and Scarf: Urban Outfitters

What'd you do this weekend?  I had a friend's birthday celebration, spent some time with my grandma, went to Donner/Truckee, CA for a night and overall had a great weekend.  Here's to another Monday!

Minted Monday

Yesterday I finally wore my new mint blouse to work (I bought it on my trip to Huntington Beach for Fashion Week but it's just been sitting in my closet) with a pastel skirt (See what I did there?  Pastel colorblocking - 1 point Tracy).  These are two of my favorite trends for spring and luckily I have a ton of pastel items already!  Looks like Helena had the same idea! 

The other great thing about this outfit?  I had been eyeing these flats at Target for quite some time and scored them for $6.  Patience is a virtue my friends (trust me, I realize that at $20ish that's not even very expensive but I spent a lot of money on my recent travels and things are always better when they are a bargain AmIRight?).

Cape: Halogen, Blouse: Zara, Tank: Forever 21, Skirt: LC by Lauren Conrad, Shoes: Target, Jewelry: Fossil watch, thrifted/gifted bracelets

P.S.  Today's #StyleMeMarch was Bold Lip, hence the pink lipstick :)  You can follow me on Instagram (here or @davist33) or Twitter and even join in the fun of Style Me March (it's never too late!)

#StyleMeMarch: Bought on Sale

Yesterday's Style Me March was "bought on sale" and while a lot of things in my wardrobe have been purchased on sale (I'm a sucker for a good bargain!) these are two of my favorite recent items: my orange Zara blazer and my lace J. Crew tank.  The weather was so amazing yesterday I couldn't help but pull out a skirt!

(sorry for the squints it was still a little bright in the shade...!)

Blazer: Zara, Lace Tank: J.Crew, Skirt: Target, Shoes: Wanted Shoes

I hope you all had a splendid weekend!

TRS: #StyleMeMarch

Welcome to March!!  It's a pretty exciting month (I think), you have March Madness (I love me some college sports/basketball), it's the end of the first quarter (I don't know why this is exciting, but if you think about it it's kind of like you're at the home stretch of the beginning of the new year and getting ready for more) and it's contains the first day of of S-P-R-I-N-G (that is, if the weather gods are nice)!!

I'm going to participate in #StyleMeMarch, a fun little challenge put on by Hilary Rushford.  Here's day 1: your favorite color (mine is teal!),

Vest: Michael Kors, Shirt: Custom Tailored, Pants: Simply Vera by Vera Wang, Watch: Fossil, Bracelets: Gifted and DIYs

Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday!!
