St. Patrick’s Day seemed to come out of nowhere this year. I’m pretty sure time passing faster is a sign that I’m turning into an old spinster, but I haven’t even had time to grab a Shamrock Shake yet.
Funny story about these photos: I had put this outfit on and knew I wanted to shoot it for the blog, but figured I had the whole day to get to it. While I was out shopping, I saw that a big thunderstorm was rolling in, so I pulled into the mall, drove up to the roof of this parking garage, hopped out, snapped a handful of photos and hoped they’d turn out. Luckily, most of the cars were parked closer to the doors so I didn’t have to deal with anyone asking me what I was doing — always a plus in my book.
I picked out this white skirt last summer while collaborating with a small boutique and absolutely love the fun cutout detail above the knee. It ran a little big and didn’t hit exactly where I wanted it to, so I took it to my go to tailor and now it appropriate fits at the waist instead of the hip. {Louisville pals, I go to Ann at the Peddler’s Mall in Middletown and she always does a fabulous job and is super reasonably priced.}
This green satchel was a purchase when Vera Bradley first came out with their faux leather line. This bag was released in the fall but seems like the perfect color for spring. While this exact shade has sold out, I’ve linked a couple other colors that are perfect for spring! The bag does have a shoulder strap included too.
I told you guys last week how much I love my denim vest and so it’s really not a surprise at all that it’s already back in a blog post. Lightweight vests are such a perfect layering piece for the spring. This top is an old Forever21 sale find and while I love the color {and obviously the fact that it’s a striped tee}, it does have a tendency to slip on my shoulders so having a layer to keep it in place and keep my bra straps covered is key.
Hope you have a fantastic St. Patrick’s Day tomorrow, I’m already looking forward to catching some of the March Madness action.
