a spring outfit

Today we went out near the small lake on campus to take photos in the grass! I love a good blue sky/bright green grass combo for photos. The geese were there today, and luckily didn't start chasing me (yeah, that happened sophomore year....)

I pulled out my favorite pair of Sperry boat shoes, which I've had since I was 13 years old. They've stood the test of time and are still in fantastic shape! They definitely look "worn." The pink Sperrys match my necklace perfectly, and with the necklace's gold accents, I added some gold jewelry and a bag. It was fun to add pink (my favorite) and gold to the neutral blue and white of the shirt and jeans.

gingham and denim

Button up J. Crew Red shirt Nordstrom Jeans Hudson Belt Forever 21 Necklace H&M Watch Michael Kors Sunglasses Chanel

My schedule didn't allow enough time for a .GIF outfit post today, but I did manage a couple photos. I wore a long sleeved red t-shirt underneath my gingham button up with jeans and brown leather riding boots. And sunglasses. Because it was actually sort of sunny today, and because I am running on less than 2.5 hours of sleep. Even my favorite concealer can't hide the zombie bags under my eyes. Well, what can you do.

Happy Wednesday!

coral necklace and boot socks

Necklace Stella & Dot Socks Nordstrom Shirt J. Crew (found similar colors on sale at J. Crew factory!) Boots Corsmo Como

I still don't have Photoshop back on my laptop :/ so I made do with what I do have! Hence the half-sort-of outfit post.

I wore a pretty casual outfit but wanted to showcase the necklace and boot socks! I love the contrast of boot socks against jeans. The peek above the boot really makes a color blocking combination too, which is super trendy right now! My socks can also be worn over-the-knee (would look great with skirts and dresses) or scrunched to be worn under the knee. The coral pendant necklace was a Christmas gift, and while it is a little summery January, I couldn't resist! I love the long, gold chain, too.

checkers

My favorite pattern is checkers. I like checkered bedding, notebooks, and especially clothes! It is a classic print that is reincarted every season. I enjoy the pattern year-round, but love seeing the pattern more often in the spring.

You can never go wrong with a traditional, checkered button-down! A button-down in blue gingham has been on my shopping list for a while now, but other colors like green and light pink other good options.
