If you're like me, you're dying for spring weather! We have had a few gorgeous days between all of the rain, and it has me itching for shorts and pool temps. But, until then, I wanted to share this fun outfit for transitioning to spring.
This exact top is from Vici Collection, and unfortunately it is sold out now, but they have the most affordable and cutest clothes. Definitely go check them out! I have linked some tops similar, plus the rest of this look below though. This jacket is from last year, and these Steve Madden boots sold out quickly when they went on sale. But, since this is the best time to snag some over the knee boots on sale, I've linked some others below too!
It's been a while since I sat down to write a blog post. Between the holidays, snow days and sickness in our house, it's been pretty crazy around here. But, I am so excited to share this look with y'all. I have been obsessed with lace lately, so this purchase was a must. Plus, who says you have to wear red or pink on Valentines Day?! We will more than likely be celebrating with wine from our couch, but I will be finding any excuse I can to wear this dress again soon!
These last 3 months have brought us so much joy, exhaustion, happiness and lots of adjustment all at the same time. But, we feel so blessed for every moment of it. I kept hearing people say that every baby is different before Riley was born, and now I fully believe that. When we had Ian, he was never sick and slept pretty well early on. Poor Riley has caught cold after cold and has severe (silent) acid reflux, which has been such an awful combination. He makes terrible coughing/choking sounds that only get worse when he's congested. Honestly, I never knew that a lot of babies suffered from this, so if you are going through this too, know you are not alone! Luckily we have a great pediatrician, and he and his nurses have worked with us to find the right medicine and formula to ease his discomfort. He hasn't been sleeping well (until the last few nights) which has been plain tough to be honest, especially when I'm having to wrangle Ian and alllll of his energy all day as well, but I'm hoping we can get him into a good sleeping routine soon that works for all of us!
Even with these struggles, I know it is absolutely nothing compared to what some families go through, so I try to remind myself of that and be extra thankful that these are the biggest problems we have right now. Since Thanksgiving just passed, it has made it easier to reflect on things that we are thankful for, but it is SO important to make sure to reflect on those things year round. I am so thankful not only for my sweet little family, but also the tribe of friends we have that support us and help us daily, as well as this community of bloggers and friends who have been so supportive whether they have met me personally or not.
{Outfit details}
This Mama Bear tee is from Vici Collection (confession: I shop there waay too much!), but it is currently sold out. You can sign up for restock notifications on their website though HERE! I have linked some other cute mama tees below too. This bag is also from there and always sells out super quickly, but you can find a preorder for the tan version HERE. I've linked some similar below as well.
This exact cardigan is from Hadley Rae Boutique and is not available anymore, but I have linked some almost identical below. I have been wearing it ALL the time. This style is great to pair with graphic tees, plain tees or even cute tunics. You will probably find me in something similar to this on Thanksgiving day! ;)
Happy Monday! It is so hard to believe that Thanksgiving is THIS week. This year has absolutely flown by, but the holiday season is my favorite because it means a lot of family time. It is such a joyous time of year, and how can you not love all of the Christmas lights and decor?!
This top has seriously been worn way too many times to count since I got it, and I'm totally okay with that. I know I mentioned it before, but I'm obsessed with the varsity style trend right now, so you'll probably be seeing it a lot on here! All the outfit details are below.
Of course this varsity top and cardigan are both from Vici Collection. There were a few larges left in the top when I looked this week, and you can find it HERE or sign up for a restock email there as well if they don't have your size. I have also linked some similar below. This cardigan is sold out, but Target carries a couple similar and super affordable, and they're linked below as well with the rest of my outfit details. Happy Monday friends and cheers to a short holiday week!
Bomber jackets are the perfect transition piece for fall. It's definitely an added bonus that they are super comfortable. The one is from last year, but I have linked some of my current favorites + one super similar below. I can't wait to shoot some new fall looks for y'all once we get in more of a routine as a family of four, but I still plan to post favorites like this over the next few weeks until then. Have a great week my friends!
I have been hunting for the perfect OTS top and knew that I would need to try on before I purchased any since a lot of tops run short on me. I went into Francesca's last week and found two that I loved, plus they were on sale for $20 each for Memorial Day. Score! Today I'm sharing the floral one that I got and will be sharing the other one soon...enjoy!
Today I wanted to share with y'all my favorite "investment piece." I'm not normally one to spend a lot of money on any one piece, and to be completely honest, I was gifted this Virgins Saints & Angels necklace. But, I cannot say enough about how timeless this necklace is. I've had it for a couple of years and have been able to wear it so many different ways. Whether I'm going to a fancy event or just going out to dinner with girlfriends, it goes with just about any outfit. Plus, I love that you can make it short or a long. Although, I haven't been able to find this exact color for y'all, I have linked some similar (and a few others that I love) below. I would love to hear what your favorite investment pieces are in your wardrobe, as every girl must have a couple!
Spring is my favorite season because the weather is perfect, it's sunny (but not too hot), and there are so many adorable fashion styles to choose from. Today I wanted to share my top shoe picks for this season, and most of the shoes I've picked come in multiple color options, which is great! I've included a range of price options too. Enjoy!
I don't know about y'all, but I love a good baseball tee. I probably own way too many, and still don't pass a good one up. I got this one last week and have already worn it multiple times (and it comes in pink too!). It's super comfortable, and it's only $20! (P.S. You can also get this one for 10% off with code "karlyrep10").
These New Balance for J. Crew shoes are amazing too (also come in other color options). They go with so many different outfits and they're super comfortable! This is a new brand of jeans to try out for me and so far, they are my new favorites. {For reference, I'm 5'9, size 4 in women's and got a size 5.} I rolled them up with this outfit, but they are the perfect length for me to wear them unrolled with wedges or heels.
I was looking back on our wedding photos and was reminded of how much I loved my wedding shoes--and since it's Shoesday Tuesday, I figured why not share with y'all. ;) We had a winter wedding, so our colors were black, white and silver, and when I saw these shoes I knew they were the ones! Of course, I haven't worn them since then because I haven't had a reason to get that dressed up again, but I am dying to put together an outfit they will go with. Since these are a couple years old, I wanted to link a few similar choices for y'all. If you're in the market for some fancy shoes, no matter what the occasion, Antonio Melani always has some fabulous choices!
This is a pretty quick and easy-to-read post, but I just had to share with y'all my favorite go-to Spring accessories. These pieces are timeless, and I can pretty much throw each of them on with any outfit! If I'm in a hurry, I know I can grab these and go.
{Although Ian is getting to the point where he wants to chew or pull any jewelry I have on, so I usually have to end up taking them off!}
