{date in a jumpsuit}

JUMPSUIT: Forever 21

EARRINGS: Bauble Bar (sold out, very similar here)

WRISTLET/WALLET: Kate Spade via Nordstrom Rack (sold out, budget friendly version here)

FLATS: Forever Young Shoes

This date night outfit is the third and final look I styled with this black jumpsuit (you can see the first two looks here and here).  It's a much simpler look, but I felt that my Blake Lively inspired braid and the pops of color and sparkle from my accessories would help dress it up a little bit for dinner out with my hubby.  

Usually date night is when I like to wear heels (since heels aren't usually a part of my "mom uniform"), but I just got these flats from a recent trip to Utah and I love them.  At first I was sort of boycotting any sort of "rock stud" shoe since it seems EVERY blogger has at least one pair, ha! But when I saw these leopard print ones, I couldn't resist and I have no regrets.   

I hope now that you've seen how versatile a basic jumpsuit it, you won't be nervous to try one for yourself!  I know I have a lot of other outfit ideas for this jumpsuit for the future, so it won't be the last time you see it here :)

{jumpsuit into the weekend}

 jumpsuit: Forever 21
denim vest: levi's (sold out, similar here)
scarf: old, similar here
earrings: Purple Peridot (on sale!)

handbag: Emma Fox (similar here)

watch: Fossil

sneakers: Nike (on sale!)

Thank goodness it's Friday!

To kick off the weekend, I styled this jumpsuit so that I could run around after my kids and take them somewhere fun!  I have found that layering has really been key to changing up the look with this jumpsuit.  I couldn't resist my denim vest for spring (I would maybe pair it with my fur vest in the fall/winter?!), but with how finicky our weather has been I added a scarf as well.  I have loved seeing others "dress down" their more formal clothes with sneakers, so I went for that vibe with this look and I kind of love it…and I had no regrets on my footwear choice when chasing down my energetic toddler, haha!  I also love this handbag, it's big enough to hold my personal items as well as my mom essentials for the littles, and it's not a diaper bag :)

I have one more outfit post to share with you starring this versatile jumpsuit, so stay tuned!

Thanks for reading!

jumpsuit: forever 21

When I first began this little blog, I was excited for the motivation it would give me to be a little more adventurous with my clothing choices.  A stylish friend from college posted about this jumpsuit a long while ago and recently while casually shopping online, I found it for myself and couldn't resist.  I almost bought it in white as well (it also comes in teal and marsala when it's in stock!), but I felt that for my first jumpsuit experience, black would be more versatile with the clothes and accessories I already own.  Being able to style something like this jumpsuit in multiple ways with my existing wardrobe is a big factor for me while shopping for clothes…most of the time.  

I have given myself the challenge to style this jumpsuit three different ways, so this is the first look inspired by how I would wear it in a 9-5 professional office sort of setting.  I love bright colored jackets and blazers, and this teal one adds such a fun pop of color along with the necklace that practically matches.  Leopard print is basically a neutral to me and my closet, so adding these heels gave my outfit a little pattern play along with the bright color.  

Stay tuned for my weekend inspired jumpsuit look!

Happy Tuesday!

Before the rain came in yesterday, the weather has been amazing here!  I'm loving the flowers blooming and warmer temperatures.  I'm taking advantage of it all before it gets crazy humid hot. It was slightly windy the day we found these blossoming trees, so I am very glad we snapped a few pictures with them before the blossoms were gone away with the wind.  

I love this blue cardigan, especially when paired with this scarf.  I bought them together from Charlotte Russe years ago, but they have held up quite nicely over time, and I have found uses for them together and separately!  It's also an added bonus that fringe is a current spring trend, and I love how girly/lacy the fringe is on this scarf.  Both the scarf and cardigan are lightweight, so they are the perfect layering pieces for transitional spring styles.

I also lucked out that my husband kept this fedora, even though he wouldn't wear it.  I "stole" it from him years ago, but what's mine is yours and vice versa in marriage, right?! Haha! He and I are not typically the same sizes in clothing, so I don't normally get to borrow his clothes for a casual "from the boys" look.  I lucked out that this hat fits my head...it was a great find while I was "shopping" our closet ;)

{Easter florals}

{top: TJMaxx, similar ones here}

 {skirt: ASOS}

{shoes: BCBGirls (old), similar style here}

{jewelry: scored at a friend's annual accessories swap}

Easter is this week!  It kind of snuck up on me.  I've been caught up with our travels back to visit family, my son's birthday and birthday party (I'll stop using it as an excuse soon, I promise), and my little girl turns one this week too (insert crying face emoji because my little baby isn't a baby anymore!!).  I had my eye on a few adorable floral skirts online to wear for the holiday, but never confirmed my orders thinking I had time…and now it's here and I kind of hate paying shipping when I shop online so expedited shipping wasn't an option for me, haha!  So, I styled some pieces I already had and "made it work" instead, and I think that was the best way to go.  

I love how bright this outfit is.  The pops of colors in the top coordinate really well with a few different skirts that I own, but I'm a sucker for pink so ultimately that's the skirt I went with :) I was on the fence about this top when I first bought it, but now that I have it and can see it paired with other items in my closet I know how versatile it is…you may see me in it fairly frequently for the next few months.  

Hope you have a wonderful Easter!

P.S. Here is a little something more in the true spirit of Easter

handbag: Michael Kors

Is it only Wednesday?!

I'm in serious need of another weekend already.  I feel like I'm still recovering from the craziness that was my son's birthday party from the previous weekend (posting about that soon!), and these last few days I've been dealing with sick kiddos again.  But, on the bright side, it's literally brighter outside nowadays!   And it's been sandal weather!

I love this green ombre top.  Lately I've been wearing a lot of pink, so this was a nice change of color.  And with that change I stashed my skinny jeans for my boot cuts.  Flared denim is coming back into style this spring, but being wary of falling victim to fleeting fashion trends, I'm compromising and utilizing what I already own.  I also have started using this purse now that it truly feels like spring, and I'm so glad I invested in a classic neutral handbag.  As much as I am drawn to bright and colorful accessories, the styling possibilities with this bag are endless.

Thanks for reading!
