Spring Pairings

Outfit Details:

top: Thrifted

skirt: Thrifted through ThredUp

shoes: Aldo

purse: Thrifted

bracelet: vintage

sunglasses: Asos

ring: from Olytata - a boutique in Tuscon 

I got this skirt from ThredUp last summer and brought it out again this Spring. It is such a light-weight material and so extremely comfortable, perfect for the climbing temperatures. The top I paired with it is a loosey goosey crop to let the breeze in. 

I thrifted this crop from a cute thrift store in Warrenton on a shopping trip with my mom and sister. I wore it so much immediately, because it is such a soft material and can camouflage any bulging areas. The great thing about these two pieces is that they can transition together or separately into the Summer as well and can be casual or dressed up for a night out!

Here is a little update on me: Yesterday I got my hair updated!!! Stay tuned for some photos on my social media to see what I changed it to!

Another Black Maxi

Outfit Details:

maxi dress: Charming Charlie (similar and similar)

necklace: Charming Charlie

shoes: Talbots

lipstick: Nars in Heat Wave

sunglasses: Loft

Simply put, you can never have too many black maxi dresses. They are such an easy piece to throw on when you have no idea what else to wear or you can jazz them up with lots of color or some crazy patterns. 

I love the versatility of this piece of clothing! I do only have 2 of them, so obviously I need a few more in my closet so I don't repeat them too often and so they all last longer! Simple logic there. 

Here I kept the pairings pretty simple. I added my Bcbg belt for a bit of sparkle and these sandals from Talbots, which are going to be making an appearance on this blog A LOT this Spring and Summer. They are the perfect comfortable chic sandal that goes with everything! The necklace added a polished touch to the look and the pop of red lips always adds the perfect pop of color to brighten any outfit! Here I have Nars lipstick in Heat Wave on, a great orangey-red for those of you who like the warmer toned reds. 

Maybe once I feel I have the right amount of black maxi dresses in my wardrobe I will switch to the ever-faithful navy to switch things up! 

Do you guys think this is a rut I am getting stuck in or a smart move because of its versatility?
