Button Up That Shirt – Let’s Flamingle

Last month, I did some major shopping at the Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass and added some fun new pieces to my closet – including this fun flamingo top.  One thing about outlet finds is that you’re finding something that isn’t as widely available.  This flamingo top is sold out online, but I’ve linked it {and the matching ankle pants — see how Tif styled them here!} in case you want to try and track it down at your outlet center! We all know I have a ton of clothing so while I didn’t need anything, I did focus on buying some new pieces to take me through spring and summer.

Like Big Bows & I Cannot Lie

Ladies we have to talk.  Come summertime, gingham becomes my print of choice.  So it wasn’t shocking at all, when this gingham bow blouse made its way into my shopping cart.  With three bows across the back, the top gives a twist to the traditional gingham button down and is breezy enough for summer.

What a Darling State of Mind

Happy, happy Monday! This weekend, it finally felt like spring and it was amazing.  I am 100% a warm weather lover so getting back to sunshiney, 70 degree days is an actual dream come true.  Last week, I had the chance to stop by Darling State of Mind, a local boutique here in Louisville that’s in Westport Village.  I picked out a couple of different pieces including the tie waist shorts and chambray and linen top that I’m wearing in today’s post.  Read on for more information on how they’re celebrating their one year anniversary!
