Last week a colleague of mine described this dress and jacket combo as the “Palm Beach Babe” look. While I was unaware of the “Palm Beach Babe” look, I think I might start embracing it. Recently I have been loving the palm leaf or banana leaf prints mixed with white accents. I found this palm dress at Nordstrom and paired it with my ASOS white shoes and cropped jacket. This look is great for the office in the summer, because it pairs well with or without a jacket. The palm dress can also be dressed down with sandals for a more casual beach look.

I decided to wear a ASOS scuba high waisted skirt with a Shopbop floral scuba crop top to create a two piece dress look. The scuba material is super comfortable and easy to move in. I paired the look with my favorite nude sandals from Zara, a simple black Kate Spade bag and simple gold hoops and bangle. It was the perfect look for a day of sweet tea, sugar cookies, and friends. The Shopbop crop top is also reversible to a black and white stripe top that will pair well with the ASOS black skirt as well. Be sure to check out all the cute midi skirts and crop tops at Shopbop and ASOS as well as the wide range of products at The Vintage House. xoxo
Dallas has had its fair share of spring showers recently, meaning much cooler temperatures than usual. This past weekend I was going to dinner with some friends and I think I tried on everything in my closet in attempt to dress for this cooler weather. I mentioned in my post last week, that I pretty much live in my white jeans, well not much has changed. I am still trying to get the most out of the short time I have to wear them and they have been great for cool nights. I paired my white jeans with a basicblack knit halter and heels for a high contrast look.
For those who follow me on Instagram, you know that I have been obsessed with my turquoise Kendra Scott ring and bracelet. I added the ring and bracelet to my high contrast look for a small pop of color on my left hand. To keep things simple and avoid going over the top with the turquoise, I wore my favorite gold hoopsand went without a necklace to show off the halter neckline. Hopefully the weather warms up soon so I can pull out my white shorts and move on from jeans! xoxo
Graduation has passed, the boxes are packed, and I am moving back to Dallas! If I am being honest, I am not ready to leave college, all my friends, the carefree lifestyle of Norman, and the ability to wear athletic clothes and over sized T-shirts without judgment. Last week I had a girl tell me that I must workout a lot, because every time she sees me I am wearing athletic clothes. Well, while I “try” to workout everyday, we all know it is just easier to throw on Lululemon and a pair of Nikesto go to class or the library. Unfortunately leaving college and entering the “real world” means getting dressed for work, not the gym every morning.
When I realized I needed more than jeans and leggings in my closet I went on the hunt for some corporate attire. My first stop was J.Crew, and they had everything I needed plus a 15% discount for students. I found these dress pantsand basic tanks in every color imaginable. I wanted a blazer that stood out with my basic pants and top. I found this Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent blazer at Neiman Marcus and fell in love with the unique cut, pattern and embroidery. This black, creme and gold blazer also pairs well with a form fitting dress, pencil skirt, or can even be dressed down with dark skinny jeans.
If you are starting the hunt for professional clothes for interviews, internships, or a full time job, I would recommend starting the search at J.Crew. Do not forget to show your student ID at checkout for an extra 15% your purchase (sale items included)! xoxo
