Happy Friday! This past week was fast-paced and packed, so I am looking forward to a nice weekend. I am actually starting volunteering at the Humane Society tomorrow morning and I feel like I will need to restrain myself from bringing home five more dogs. When I adopted Potsie, I picked him up from the most disgusting house I’d ever seen and now I just want to save every animal in need. So I figured volunteering was a great way to give back and warm my heart with some tail wags.
Favorite Meal: Making Mother’s Day breakfast for my parents
Favorite Colors: All the fun polishes at the Charles Scott salon event
Favorite Smile: Catching Potsie mid-lick (how is his tongue so long?!)
Every spring I find myself anxiously reaching for my bright dresses and tops. This is partially because bringing out my spring clothes feels like I’m getting an entirely new wardrobe (kind of), but also because I’m so over my neutral winter wardrobe. It’s like I get to re-invent myself for spring and say hello to color again. This also usually comes with the realization that I need a tan… That’s when I turn to these.

Last week I was fortunate enough to support my friend and fellow blogger, Dina, in the Goodwill Good Style Fashion Show. I have complete respect for anyone who is a gifted thrifter… I seem to be missing the thrifting gene. Sometimes I don’t even have the patience to dig at TJ Maxx. But Dina is my thrifting idol, with a gift for making old things new again and spending about 50 cents on unique accessories and outfits.
Dina styled her Moroccan Holiday thrifted collection with the rich colors and textures of Morocco. She pulled together 10 stunning looks for… wait for it… $100. Ahem, 10 outfits for $100? Unbelievable. All of the bloggers did an amazing job with their Goodwill collections. I was in complete awe of the fashionable and affordable outfits. Now, will someone please take me thrifting with you and show me your ways?

When I spotted these geometric print pants at Gap a few weeks ago it took me about two seconds to decide I was buying them. The eclectic print just belonged in my closet. I wasn’t initially sure what top I would pair them with, but then I saw my friend Becky sporting this billowy blouse and realized it would be perfection with these pants. For a girl who typically has a more classic and feminine style, this feels like a bit of a fashion risk for me. But no risk no reward, right? (Whoa, that got deep).

Happy Friday, sole sisters! I have always chosen my Friday Favorites from my Instagram photos, however I made a commitment to myself to use my camera more often, not only to better my photography skills, but also to actually take and develop photos. I feel like ever since my iphone camera came along, I stopped getting photos printed. I had a lot of fun capturing moments this week with my DSLR and look forward to taking more. So, here you have it, a new twist on Friday Favorites!
Favorite Moment: Sipping Pellegrino in the sun, enjoying a magazine
Favorite Craft: Putting together a little bachelorette gift
Favorite Fashion Find: A bright pink 80s sequin dress from the GoodStyle Fashion Show came home with me.
(Future costume ideas are swirling…)
I remember finding this little gem of a dress at J.Crew three years ago. It was on the clearance rack for under $40 (what?!) and they literally had one left in my size. For a moment I thought maybe I was on a hidden camera show where someone would pop out and say “Ha! Just kidding! This dress really isn’t for you”. I mean, shopping moments like this rarely happen. It was fashion fate. Sale dress + my size + polka dots = perfection.

Florals for Spring? Groundbreaking. (Love me some Devil Wears Prada). I actually wore this little floral number in Naples to ring in 2013, but clearly it’s quite fitting for May. That’s right, it was warm enough in January in Florida to wear this dress out. Why do I live in Ohio again? Anyway, paired with a classic trench and I’m ready for work or play.

Just call me Rachel Zoe because maxi dresses are my new thing. I can only hope if Rachel saw me in this dress she would call it “maj” or say “I die” or some other Rachel-ism. Although I am quite certain she would tell me my outfit was missing a chic hat and lacking accessories.
I couldn’t decide what to wear to my friend’s bridal shower on Friday, so I went with an old standby. In case you need another reason to wear a maxi other than this, this or this, I will gladly give you one more… It’s totally cool if you didn’t shave your legs in the morning when you’re wearing a maxi. Got stubble? Maxi’s got you covered. I’m hoping Rachel would approve as well.
