Why Dalmatian Print Is the Super Versatile Print for Summer

This dress was restocked in some sizes {YASSS} so it seemed like the perfect time to share why dalmatian print is red hot and how I’m wearing the popular black and white print.  As soon as I saw this dress, I knew I wanted it because it would be easy to style different ways for summer both for dressier occasions {I have a conference next month} and for everyday events like weekend brunch!

How to Wear Silk Paperbag Pants & Covert Racism

Just like that, we’re post-Derby and back with a spring outfit that’s perfect for Casual Fridays at the office.  These silk paperboy pants were one of the items I snagged during my J. Crew shopping event last month.  Printed pants are so fun for work and this jungle-themed pair is incredible comfortable too.  You’ve likely noticed that I haven’t written as many lifestyle and personal posts during the lead up to Derby so we’re jumping right into that as well today.

Oaks Day is the day before the Derby and everyone is encouraged to wear pink!  Breast cancer survivors are honored and a portion of proceeds from the day goes towards breast cancer research and awareness charities.
