Sleeveless Collared Dress

I don't know about all of you, but I am in love with sleeveless collared dresses. For some reason them make me think of the 1950s, something about them screams retro to me (of course in the 50's there was much more volume in the skirts of dresses). As much as I love running out in this dress on it's own, I wanted to dress it up so I added this structured blazer. Pairing a structured piece with a flowing dress such as this really plays up the best features of the dress. I love this look for a casual spring event or even for something business casual (preferably your legs aren't as long as mine or the skirt of the dress be a bit longer). Either way this look is fun and comfortable and can be made more casual with flats instead of heels or a cardigan instead of a blazer.

Hope you like the look and I'll see you all on Monday! Oh! And stay posted as I have a great surprise in the works for you next week :)

Tribal Cropped Jacket

Happy Tuesday!!!

I hope you're all doing well and enjoyed the weekend! Today's post is all about this super cute tribal cropped jacket that I got from bebe. I had been obsessing over it for a few weeks and finally got my hands on it last Thursday. I really cannot wait to wear it out as it gets a bit warmer! The print, although technically tribal, is really sophisticated. It's definitely appropriate for a business casual day at work as well as your day to day life. It even comes with matching shorts! I cannot wait to wear this business casual suiting combo, possibly for 4th of July! In the final shot I gave you a side view of the jacket to show off some of it's details and exactly why I am so obsessed with it.

Have you recently purchased anything that you cannot stop thinking about? What about a favorite piece that you always like to wear? Let me know about it in the comments below!
