Under Construction

My favorite part about spring weather is that it calls for a lot of mixing styles due to unpredictable weather (I’m embracing it, okay?) This outfit was one of those examples. Perfect for meandering through construction zones while snapping photos. (Which is totally normal?) This short striped t-shirt dress is always my go-to for a casual Saturday (also styled here), paired with my favorite long, lightweight trench coat (which you’ll remember from this shoot). These canvas slip-ons from are my newest obsession. I love the slight platform, which gives off a modern 90’s vibe. (That’s a thing, I decided.) They’re popping up everywhere now, and are so comfortable, you need to snag yourself a pair ASAP.




P.S. Have you noticed that my hair looks extremely, uncharacteristically awesome in these photos (as in, not a messy mop)? It’s because these were snapped right after I left George The Salon. I was loving my silk veil blowout! If you haven’t heard of it, read more about it here. I suggest you book yourself an appointment immediately!

    You’re right, the hair does look flawless here, the right silkiness, the right curls, fab, and omg the trench is flawless, and hooray for rocking flats and a great tote!!!! Glad I clicked on your comment on ATLANTIC PACIFIC’s blog and got led back here to yours. Your blog’s pics and layouts are great too, keep it up!
