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!! :)

Enjoy!!
