T-shirt & Heels

Haven't you all been loving the sunshine lately? I sure have. Spring is almost here. I got this fun head scarf and really love it, you can wear it so many ways. Besides, it's leopard print-and leopard prints rock.  I also love the idea of mixing fancy and casual, I think its a fun combo. Have a great President's Day Weekend!

Happy Valentine's :)

Oh, the day of love :) I have gone back and forth through the years on whether or not I actually like Valentines Day. I suppose it just depends on the year. However, all holidays are 10 times more fun when you have a kid. They make it new and fresh again. In honor of vday, I had to sport something red. Duh!

Layers

My husband mentioned the other day that January was the coldest month Utah has had since the 1940's. With that being said, layering is a necessity! I feel like I have been constantly cold for so long now. I am beyond ready to feel the warm sunny rays on my pale skin. Happy week of love!

Camo & Converse

I hope you all had a fabulous Super Bowl Sunday! I feel like i'm still in a food coma. It's always good to have an excuse to eat unhealthy ever once in a while :)

 

This outfit was inspired by.....comfort! I love pulling out my old converse shoes; they are well worn in, which is the best part. And these camo pants? Let me tell you about them. I have been looking for a good pair for a while but they've been sold out everywhere. I finally found these last week at Target. They are 'Flipside' jeans, which is a line of jeans that are reversable! For being reversable they actually fit really well and don't feel too cheap. They had a super cute red patterned pair (different pattern print on each side) that I loved as well. The ones I am wearing are plain green on the other side.

Crazy Pants

Anybody else in love with patterned leggings? I know that I sure am. Leggings are super comfortable and a good staple to have in your closet. They also work great for all of the crazy seasons that Utah weather has to offer. I even took off my jacket for a little bit, it felt great! However, it did give me spring fever. The groundhog said it would be an early spring, let's cross our fingers :)
