Easy Layering

It's no secret that I love chambray. Pretty positive it's my all time favorite closet staple - it goes with absolutely everything and you can style it in each season. This is one of the most versatile outfits in my closet and I get compliments every time I wear it!

This linen shirt dress from J.Jill is super soft and comfy (as is everything at J.Jill) and is the PERFECT length for all of us tall girls. I'm 5'10 and it's incredibly hard to find dresses that are long enough and this one hits right above the knee. Fair warning, I find J.Jill to run a little on the big side, so I always order a size down unless I want it fairly oversized. I layered it with my go-to jean jacket - I'm 100% going through a jean jacket addiction phase, if you haven't already noticed. And I grabbed the matching chambray hat to top it all off, because why not? Layering is an easy way to get that "effortlessly cool" look while still staying comfy!

Blushing OTS

Y'all saw this already on Instagram a while ago because I couldn't contain my excitement. My all-time favorite top is finally available in blush!!! I have this in black and I wear it non-stop. Like, seriously - ALL THE TIME. It's one of the only off-the-shoulder tops that I own that actually stays on your shoulders, it doesn't pop up when you move your arms and the elastic is really comfortable to wear for a full day. The ruffles are universally flattering and I can wear it with jeans in the spring/fall and shorts in the summer. This top is so versatile and I promise you that it will be one of your favorite purchases! Snag it over at Chicwish while you can!

Giving Spring the Cold Shoulder

I love a good cold-shoulder - although I'm sure you've gathered as much as I wear them all the time. It's (obviously) one of my favorite trends right now! It's an easy way to look fashion forward, but it's also perfect for everyday wear. Don't get me wrong, I equally love the off-the-shoulder and chunky heel trends - but I can't really wear either of those to work. So the cold shoulder is the perfect way to remain practical and stylish.

This dress, from Antique Garden, is a pretty floral print, complete with flowy bell sleeves. Bonus - it also hangs really well! Sometimes when you wear a super flowy dress, you end up looking like you're wearing a shapeless sack - but that is SO not the case with this one. I will say it's a little short for us tall girls (I'm 5'10) - but I plan on styling it with leggings for the spring! This would be absolutely perfect for all those spring weddings coming up!

90s Grunge

Anyone else get confused between plaid, gingham and checkered? Am I crazy? Sometimes they all look the same to me....but regardless - I love them all. So why not just mix them together! Anytime I'm wearing a shift dress (like this fabulous shirt dress from J.Jill) and I want to add a little more shape to it, I typically just tie something around the waist. In this case, I grabbed my fave plaid shirt to give it a "90's grunge" feel. I did my best to channel my inner Topanga with the hair. Any 90's children out there? I know you know what I'm talking about. #boymeetsworld4life

And it seems like everyone nowadays is pairing their dresses with sneakers. And I'm totally hopping on that train. Cute and comfy? Yes please. So I went to my ever-loyal Keds. I've gotten so much wear out of these over the years!

Most Comfortable Dress EVER

This is literally the most comfortable dress I own. Like - holy moly I could live in this dress. PLUS it's freaking adorable, so it's a total win win. This dress, from Antique Garden, is also available in charcoal! It's perfectly on trend for the spring with the ruffled cold shoulder along with stripes. I plan on wearing this dress non-stop for the next few months. I love when I can find a dress that looks cute with tennis shoes, and this is one of them! Perfect for when you need to look good but still be comfortable.

Unexpected Pairings

I love mixing unexpected patterns together. Florals and stripes are two of my favorites to pair together! J.Jill just released these new floral joggers and I am beyond obsessed. They're ridiculously comfortable and have a drawstring waist so you can wear them on the hips or high waisted. And the best part - they're machine washable! Always important. Plus, these will be perfect for spring, summer and fall - such a good transition piece. The pattern is black and white, so they go with just about everything! I plan on wearing them with crops and tank tops in the summer and sweaters in the fall. I'm sure I'll be getting plenty of wear in these!

Mellow Yellow Layers

It's been so incredibly warm here - it was 80 degrees this week! But regardless, I'm not quite ready to jump into a summer wardrobe yet. So, of course, I've been wearing all of my jackets non-stop to slowly begin the transition to spring. 

Layers are always my best friend when it comes to (what seems like) the ever-changing weather. This dress from my fave boutique, Maude, is one of the easiest pieces to layer. You could pair it with tights or leggings, a jean jacket or moto jacket (like I have on here) or just wear it by itself. The possibilities are endless with a good staple dress. AND this dress comes in a pretty blush color as well! Pretty sure I need them both. Shop this look below!

Spring Inspiration

Spring is SO close! I can feel it. Granted....it never really felt like winter here, so it's sort of been spring for a while in Arkansas. Hah! But regardless...I digress. I have been so ready to bust out all my floral dresses, sandals and skirts (although....may need to get some self-tanner first...) for the new season. I'm a sucker for a good floral print - and this one is no exception! This dress from Chicwish is actually an off-the-shoulder dress (bonus), but it just so happens to pair with a jean jacket perfectly and I couldn't resist! I also had to pull out my hot pink tassel earrings, because they have always been my go-to spring accessory.

Florals + Tassels

I know - you're all shocked that I'm back with another off-the-shoulder top. But what can I say, I love them! Although technically - this "top" is a dress! So for those of you who aren't crazy tall, it's the cutest dress ever! It's just a little bit short on me, so I styled it tucked into some boyfriend jeans. But I'm thinking as it gets warmer I may get a cute little lace slip to wear underneath so I can style it as a dress! 

And I've officially decided that no combo can beat a good off-the-shoulder silhouette with long earrings - these Lisi Lerch Tassel Earrings are always my summer go-to accessory. They make a bold statement and you can dress them up or down. But fair warning - they are slightly heavy. So wear them to church or a wedding, but don't plan on wearing them all day or your earlobes won't be so happy. 

Hope y'all are enjoying this gorgeous spring weather! I know I am! All of the details are linked below.
