Retro Embroidered Shirt

Happy Monday! I love that so many trends have made huge comebacks lately like this retro embroidered shirt from Chicwish.  The high neck and ruffled embellishment adds a feminine touch to a menswear inspired workwear staple.  This striped number can be tucked into jeans or a skirt or tied up into a crop.

PS. If you need to brighten up your Monday, hop on over to Instagram! I’ve teamed up with some friends to give away a Kate Spade tote and wallet as well as a pair of Kendra Scott earrings!

Feeling Flirty with LuLaRoe Lola

There is so much goodness in this post — seriously, this is my first LuLaRoe Lola and I was shocked by how much I love this style! Let’s start with perhaps the most obvious thing. I cut my hair! Friday night, my hair kind of tucked itself into my sweatshirt and after taking about twenty selfies, I texted my friend Michelle fully expecting her to talk me out of it — which she didn’t.

My original plan was to schedule an appointment for this week but I woke up Saturday morning and started chopping off my split ends and got a little carried away.  Big ups to Mama Green for not completely losing her mind when I popped up and said, “hey can you even out my hair cut?”

Second, like I mentioned this is my first LuLaRoe Lola!  One of my favorite online friends, Tracy, is a LuLaRoe consultant {and all around #bosslady} and had Becky, Tif and I each style one of the skirt styles that she carries as a way to kick off the online sale she’s having in her online shopping group that start tomorrow night at 8 EST!  To celebrate, the three of us are giving away one LuLaRoe skirt, keep reading to enter 🙂

Striped Cardigan

Sometimes you need time for an item to grow on you and sometimes you see a new arrival and think, “Mine!”  That second one sums up my feelings on this striped cardigan from LOFT.  Between the stripes, longer length and draped front, I was immediately on board.
