Thanks for reading! As I'm looking at the weather for the rest of the week, all I'm seeing are thunder storms with temperatures barely dipping down the the high 80s. Ugh. What are y'alls forecasts for the week?

How do you plan on dressing for the weather? Just leggings and a t-shirt? I feel you.

I had a lot of fun shooting this dress! I call this my Big Bird dress! Hey, who said you couldn't have fun with fashion??? This fabulous number brought back so many memories of me as a kid wearing those super cute frilly costumes for our recitals. I always favored my ballet costumes because they were always big and fluffy or covered in sequins. Well, instead of ballet slippers, I felt that these beige chunky heels would be a stylish replacement. It was nice to let my inner child come out and play. You can't take fashion seriously all the time. Always remember to have fun and wear what you want to wear. I promise you will look your best.

Hello hello, my stylish peeps! I have returned with an inspired post. I've been a long time subscriber to blogger, Megan Runion and if it's one color this lady loves, it's definitely Blush/Pastel Pink. Not many people can pull off a full monochromatic blush look, but Megan kills it! I highly recommend you guys subscribe to her blog.

Just seeing the Cherry Blossoms bloom all over Atlanta warms my soul. Spring is my favorite season of the year and I love the beauty it brings with it for the short 3 1/2 months we get to enjoy it. I still find myself picking flowers off of bushes and trees as if I was roaming in my grandma's garden at the age of seven. Can I be that age again? The only responsibilities you had was to protect your 94 count Crayola crayon box from getting stolen. I don't want to Adult anymore. ;( 

So as of lately, anything covered in stripes is trending for Spring, and I'm down and a half with it! I have so many striped items in my closet and many more coming in the mail.....I can't be stopped, guys! If I can find a striped clutch, my life would be complete. I already found a hologram clutch, so now I can scratch that off my list. Contrary to belief, ordering items from Asia is probably the best thing ever! They have so many style for less!! You just have to be patient. It is coming to you from the other side of the globe after all. This clutch feels like it was made with sturdy, high quality faux leather and the chain that comes with it isn't heavy. If I had a tablet, it would definitely fit inside. Overall, I'm extremely happy with my purchase. If anything happens to it, I will be sure to give you all an update asap. ;)

Option 1 | 2 | 3

Welcome back to another Fabulous Finds Friday! Thank Goodness It's Friday! 

Today, I wanted to share my new CK jeans! 

I found this pair of straight leg jeans at my local Plato's Closet with the intention of finding a pair of black denim skinnies. For my readers outside of the U.S....it's a thrift store that sells gently used clothing from the latest brands like DKNY, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Miss Me, Brandy Melville, Forever21, etc. 

I immediately snatched this steal from the rack when I realized that not only was it NWT, but the store was selling them for $12!!! I'd be crazy for leaving them there! Honestly all I have to do is alter the area around my thighs (SURPRISINGLY....cause Thunder + Lightning are no joke) and my waist for a better fit. They have a lot of stretch in them so if my legs do get any thicker, it's all good. Soon, I'll be catwalking down the street in my new Calvin blues. Part of me wants to be like everyone else cliche and wear a CK sports bra with my new jeans....but nah. Instead, I think I'll stick to a plain white tee or a super cute boho or minimal top partially tucked in the front to show off one of my vintage belts. 

I can't stress enough how wonderful thrifting is! You'll be extremely surprised at what someone the same size as you will get rid of. I once found a Michael Kors circle skirt at my local Goodwill back in Nashville, but unfortunately it was too big and at the time I didn't know how to alter clothes so I left it for the next girl to find. Was I sad? UH YEAH. But whoever scored that luxury of a skirt is giving it the justice it deserves.

Now of course you're supposed to wash your items once you come home for sanitary reasons, but other than that it's not gross like everyone says it is. I mean where else are you going to find vintage or one of a kind pieces??? Exactly. Celebrities always find themselves in the 'Who Wore It Best' article in a magazine because someone else adored that same dress, too. You never know what you'll find, and if this post hasn't convinced you otherwise....stick around for the next Fabulous Find post.

How do you feel about this new series? Yay or Meh...? Have I convinced you to go thrifting yet? Any ideas on how I should style #MyCalvins? ;)

Romper (out of stock. Similar!) | Hat | c/o Earrings (site coming soon! 7 days left to enter the $250 giveaway!) | Heels | Purse (sold out) | Sunglasses (Currently Sold Out...patience young grasshopper!)

If you remember this post, you already know that I'm obsessed with bardot tops. Although I'm wearing a romper, it's off the shoulder nonetheless so of course I'm obsessed with it. As predicted, everything off the shoulder is trending once again and it is EVERYWHERE!

Honestly, if you purchase this style of top, I would purchase a size larger or better yet, try it on to see how it fits. The reason being is because the elastic in the 'neckline' lifts up and it can be a bit annoying....then again it can double as a boatneck neckline and honestly, that is my favorite neckline! :D 

I told you I was reaching for my Baby Tory bag for Spring! I can't help it! It's so cute and this bright mint hue is everything. I love to pair more than two bright colors with my minimal outfit just to give it a more happy and fun look! Like my personality! :P

Can we just talk about this boater hat??? It was only $55 and it's from on of my favorite Australian brands, Lack of Color. Speaking of Australia, they are on a role with fashion and the latest trends! I'm obsessed with damn near every Australian label on Instagram! There will be a post on that coming soon so stay tuned. ;) 

Thanks for reading!

P.S. You should totally visit Suwanne one day if you ever decide to visit Atlanta for a few days. It's so beautiful!
