     Until summer comes back, I will reminisce with photos from last summer. Can ya blame me?

    Sometimes I love NJ. Everyone's front yard is full of flowers and makes me feel like I'm driving through one big garden....Until I'm driving around because the lack of warmth outside prevents me from running around in my spring dresses. Then NJ becomes less magical and more gloomy.

     If I worked in a more laidback environment, I think I would try to get away with this for casual Friday (don't worry, I have shorts on underneath, because I don't need to flash anyone!) I really can't wait to wear this out during the summer when it's warm again. This is a bit edgier than I'm used to, but I've always loved how some girls can pull this off so effortlessly. If I try, it takes longer than curling my hair, putting on makeup, finding a matching skirt top combo, and heels to match. I think it takes me a lot longer to feel comfortable and confident in this style. Am I pulling it off? Or do I look like an awkward turtle? 🐢

Pretty in Pink

Being a complete dork. As usual.

So clumsy me thought I had lost some of my favorite jewelry on my most recent business trip. I was determined to replace what I had lost, and as fortune would have it, ShopBop was having a 25% sitewide sale! I took advantage and bought a few things, and one of them was this hair pin.

I've always loved this outfit. It's always on heavy rotation when spring has started to settle in. The floral lace dress that I'm wearing as a top, the soft pastel color palette, and feminine silhouette are perfect for spring (especially if you're near cherry blossoms!). But it's always felt a bit lacking; not enough sparkle? I always imagined this outfit with side swept hair kept in place by jewels intertwined in my hair. This hair pin was my chance to bring my vision to life. It took so many bobby pins and carefully placing hair to hide said bobby pins, but in the end, I achieved my ultimate look.

Is that my train? Why is it getting smaller?

Oh no...I think I missed it...
Jk! I just used the train platform to take outfit photos. All travel this weekend was by car :)
