Chambray My Way

I was scrolling through Pinterest when I saw a fun white jeans and white stripes outfit that inspired this outfit; I did make mistake of not completely thinking this through and wore this on a day I had lasagna for lunch, but I’m happy to report that there were no accidents and my jeans are still white. {Talk about #winning}

I went on a major closet cleaning kick last weekend: I pulled every single clothing item out of my closet and then went through, decided if I really needed/wanted to keep it and then put back the items I did want to keep. I currently have a huge pile of donate/sell/Goodwill on my floor, but I’m happy to have cut out some of the items that needed to go. I honestly love this idea of “giving up” forty items of clothing for the forty days of Lent, but knew I’d be horrible about keeping track as the days went by.  For me, a one time big purge was the effective way to hold myself accountable.

All white seemed a little “bleh” at first so I decided to go with a casual vibe by tying my chambray shirt around my waist. I love that this one has pin dots to add a fun print mix to the outfit.  What Nicole Wore: Chambray My Way

I love how bright white is and have been trying to steer away from dark colors lately; brights make me happy and I feel like I’ve constantly needed to remind myself that spring is coming {one day}. I opted for colorful accessories with my mint bib necklace and Longchamp tote, and of course this week’s mani is one of the fun new colors from OPI’s new spring/summer collection.

My leopard loafers were the natural choice for this; I love how the pattern really stands out when worn with white jeans and it was the right print to add some character without being too crazy.

I know lots of you probably love a good red, white and blue outfit for the first week of July. While I’m all about the patriotism, blue is one of my favorite colors to wear and my Kentucky loving ways mean I’m always down to rock some blue and white.

Rounding up the theme of things I typically do to celebrate the 4th, today’s outfit is what I might wear to a family barbecue. My grandfather always wanted to get together for the 4th and this year is kind of bittersweet with it being the first year he’s not here to pull us all together for collard greens and ribs.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: this Longchamp bag is a “do it all” type and was a great thrift find. This space has been a work in progress since it started, and I’m finally starting to feel comfortable with my little corner of the internet.

Each Thursday, you can expect one item in my outfit post to feature one thrifted item as a way of celebrating #ThriftThursday. Did you catch my feature on Fashion of Goodwill last Friday? You can check it out here.

Must Have Monday: What’s in My Gym Bag

What's in My Gym Bag

 

I made a big decision on Friday….I joined a gym!
I’ve gone back and forth on it forever! I’ve always been blessed with an awesome metabolism (thank you Lord!), so every other time I’ve gotten on a health kick it hasn’t really stuck because I typically don’t lose weight. I’ve had a lot of life changes in the past year from “breaking up” with my best friends since high school, being diagnosed with anxiety and losing several members of my family.
