Mad about Plaid











Oooo, y'all. This coat has officially stolen my heart (and it helps that I worked with two amaze photographers on this shoot - their sites are linked under the photos). It has been crazy cold here in Nashville this past week which means that I've had 4 glorious snow days, but have been wearing a ridiculous amount of layers. It's hard to look fashionable when you feel like a marshmallow, but alas, this coat is the perfect solution! It's super thick and heavy, which was surprising considering the price point (under $100), and this plaid print is even more stunning in person. The print makes a bold statement, so I layered it over a fairly simple outfit to keep the focus on the coat. But I couldn't resist a little pattern play, so I finished the look with a fun leopard bootie.

Most of the coats I've invested in have been simple - either gray or black. And although I highly suggest having a few staples in your closet, I have to admit...this coat makes me feel so chic. I would have never thought to add a statement coat to my wardrobe but I am SO glad I did. It adds an element of fun to every outfit and is yet still so versatile. Dress it up, dress it down, keep it simple, or add layer various patterns to spice it up. I can't wait to wear this coat all winter long!

How to Style Summer Layers









Spring/summer can be tricky down here in Arkansas. One day is 90 degrees and the next its back in the 60's. So it's important to always have layers on hand! But if you're at all like me, you may find summer layers slightly tricky. You want to still look summery, but have enough fabric to keep you warm! So I teamed up with my friends over at Ellison Apparel to show you how I tackle summer layers! 

The key when styling layers in the summer is to keep it light. Both light fabric and light colors. I'm a huge fan of pastels, because they work perfectly for summer and are typically neutral enough to wear with just about anything! This pale pink suede moto jacket is the perfect piece! Now like I said earlier, Arkansas can go from hot to chilly in a second, so when I'm wearing layers, I like to have on something sleeveless under so if I start to get hot I can take off my jacket and cool down quickly! This striped high neck top was the perfect pair. Plus, y'all know I can never have enough stripes in my wardrobe. These little black pants pulled the entire look together! I love these because they're the perfect crop length. AND I'm super excited because they're a nice fabric, so I can wear them to work - but they have an elastic waistband! Such a score because that makes them super comfy so I can crawl around on the floor with all my speech therapy kiddos and be good to go!

So hopefully this will help y'all with summer layers! Remember the key is to keep it light! But when in doubt, you can always grab a good jean jacket as well! You can shop this entire look over at Ellison Apparel!

How to Style a Button-Up for Summer






Today, I'm showing y'all my favorite way to transition button-ups into spring and summer. I love layering them over a cute dress or a romper! In this case, I grabbed by favorite chambray romper as a base. Chambray (or any denim) is the perfect base for any outfit because it's a great neutral without having to go for the traditional black and white. Then I grabbed my newest button-up from my friends over at Evy's Tree - it's the prettiest floral print making it perfect for warmer weather! When I'm wearing it over a dress/romper, I typically tie it up! The tricky part is tying it. It took me a while to get this down. I first button up one or two buttons at the level of my waist and leave the bottom few buttons and the top few buttons open. Then I fold the back of the top up and under to the level I want it, then grab the front ends and tie a knot! 

Hopefully that made sense - it's hard to put into writing! But if y'all have any questions, shoot me a DM on Instagram! AND Evy's Tree is having a Mother's Day sale, so grab this shirt while you can! Happy styling!
