all about peplum

Dress H&M Heels Nine West similar Peacoat Martin & Osa (old) Sunglasses Chanel Earrings Nordstrom Ring was a gift from Italy

I shot today's outfit photos in front of the music mansion on campus. The music mansion is gorgeous on the inside and out! Ashli (my photographer today!) suggested it. :)

Remember this post where I wrote about how much I fell in love with the peplum dress from H&M, but they didn't have it in my size?

I went back to H&M a couple weeks later. And it was still in stock. And they had my size. I did a happy dance in the store and bought it. YAY :D

I wore it today to class and will probably wear it this Friday for a networking event, and Monday for a group presentation. Yes, I will re-wear it in the same week (maybe switch up some accessories or add tights) so to those of you that know me in real life, well, you'll be seeing this dress again soon. Haha!

Ahh... gotta run to class. Have a good afternoon!

"digital" florals

Shorts: Nasty Gal Tank, bracelets, earrings: Nordstrom Sandals: my mom's closet Sunglasses: American Eagle

It was pretty warm again today, so I pulled out these floral shorts again - this time without the tights and boots! I love warm weather. "Digital" florals have been on the fashion-radar for a some time now and the trend has exploded this spring.

It has taken me a little while to warm up to the digital floral trend, seeing as some patterns remind me of the curtains from my old house in the '90s. They're not as bad as I originally thought, though. I have found some great pieces that are updated and more modern! Below are a few digital floral items to try out if you like the trend. (I think the skirt is gorgeous!)

maxi dress

cropped pants

pencil skirt

short-sleeved dress

Do you like the digital florals trend? Is it a trend to stay, or should it have stayed in the past all along? Would you wear any of the pieces above? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
