the cardigan
Ahhh the blessed cardigan!
I love cardigans... plain, stripes, polka...
I have this cardigan above and every where I go I get asked where I got it.
TARGET my friends! And I got it for under $20! Lets talk about a deal right?!?
You really could wear this with just about anything and any color. Yesterday I totally sported this with an eggplant purple shirt underneath! YES I love to mix colors! Add a funky scarf or an assortment of necklaces to spice it up some more!
The greatest thing about cardigans is they can be worn all year round!! HOORAY! I love a cardigan for layers in the winter and I love them for a cool summer night.
Create modesty by sporting one! I honestly think that SOOO many women see a tank top and they think "I could never wear that" THIS IS WHERE YOU ARE WRONG! Buy it! Cover it up with a cardi... AND I can guarantee you will find something to go with this much desired tank! If you look hard enough you might even find a short sleeve or tank style cardigan / vest.
ALSO.. step outside of your comfort zone! BUY color! COLOR Is in my friends and from the forecast it looks like it will be in for at least another 2 years :) EVEN if its not the latest in fashion you can still sport it... just mix it up a bit!
TRY this challenge... let me know how it goes :)

vacation
I have some high hopes of going on a vacation this year! I could really use one now :) I am not ready for winter and I don't think I will ever be. Logan and I were talking about trying to go to Hawaii sometime in the next year (ish) and right now that is what is on my mind!! I keep looking at beach houses, beach colors... really anything to do with the beach: sand, water, snorkeling, surf, sand castles... its on my mind.
So I decided to put together an outfit for my current dream.
I
don't know what it is about blue accessories... I honestly love blue.
Blue Blue Blue. All shades... its such a fun and relaxing color.
Oh
and in case you haven't heard... gold is in! Not only gold, but mixing
metals. So we can mix patterns and metals now... wahoo!! :)

Ok ladies... YOU CAN ROCK IT!
Don't mind my $1500 shirt selection for this board. LOL. I am sure you can find a knock off at J. Crew or possibly Old Navy ... Or feel free to splurge!
Quick tip of the day... when you are wearing a lot of neutral colors... PLEASE oh PLEASE don't be afraid of adding some color! I love this yellow scarf and the different shades of blue jewelry. Mix it up a little. With these jeans... let them sit above your boots. Not all jeans need to be tucked in and these are perfect for this look! :)
Oh and before I forget... MIX up the patterns! This can be a bit scary for some but as long as you have something with a bigger print and the other with a smaller print you really can't go wrong.
