Just like the Little Black Dress, every girl needs to have a go-to white dress for Spring/Summer. This fit and flare dress (also comes in green here) was just what I wanted for the new season.
My style usually gravitates towards the shift or drop waist style, but I couldn't pass up the gorgeous detailing on this dress. This girly fit surprised me and I actually loved the high waist- full skirt. It's easily a perfect dress for any occasion, especially if you are a bride-to-be!

Summer Dressing
I'm so excited to be breaking out some of my summer dresses. It's this time of year, where the countdown for summer is on and I start looking to buy some fun dresses for warmer weather. This is one of my most recent buys for summer and it it under $20! I like that this navy dress (size up for a dress, or go TTS for a tunic/top fit) can be worn for a few different occasions. Here, I kept it super casual with my Tory Burch Espadrilles (more sizes here), but I also plan to wear it on the beach in a couple months. At this price point, you can't go wrong!
Outfit Details: SheInside Navy Dress (also comes in white // I am wearing a medium, the small fit, but was a little shorter. Would make a great tunic with jeans! This is a thin material (not sheer, just thin) and I am wearing a half slip under it.

Floral Tunic
Happy Friday everyone! I am so happy for the weekend. We don't have anything super eventful planned, but I am hoping to get some work done on here and catch up on some emails.
If you follow me on instagram, you probably noticed that I can't stop wearing this top. It's so fun and flowy and I love the length. I've linked this whole look (and this top in a different color) below. Thanks for reading and have a wonderful weekend! xx

Spring Trench
If there is one item that needs to be in your closet, it's a trench coat. I never realized how versatile this lightweight jacket was until I finally purchased one. And if you just peruse pinterest, you will see tons of more inspiration as well! You can't go with a classic khaki color or if you want something fresh for spring, try out a pastel color like this blue trench coat. Personally, I love this powder blue option. I kept the rest of my look pretty simple, with a classic white button down and jeans (25% OFF with code SPRING25) but I also plan to pair it with this striped dress. The options are endless!
PS- don't forget to take advantage of the SHOPBOP 25% OFF SALE! I just picked up this for an upcoming beach trip and these for summer!

crochet tunic
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and great Easter! Both of our families were out of town, so our Easter was a little quieter than most. You may have seen some of my snapchats (username- "theteacherdiva") but we went to church at The Village (email me if you want more details!) and then went to brunch at True Food Kitchen. It was nice just the two of us, but we sure missed our families!
The weather on Saturday was perfect (I wish I could say the same about yesterday.) This Crochet Tunic was perfect for running errands with Austin and grabbing some lunch. I can't wait to wear it more this summer and take it with me to the beach. The fabric is so soft and I love that it doesn't wrinkle. I wore my favorite jeans and wedges to complete this summery look.
I hope everyone has a great Monday and thanks so much for stopping by! xx

Black & White Tunic
Black and white is always a classic combo that I love to wear during any season. But now that spring is here, I'm finding any excuse to wear my white denim. I have been wearing these (under $60) many times and have found that they are really versatile. I threw on this striped tunic (only $10!) for an easy weekend look. It’s cotton so I can easily throw it in the wash (a necessary feature when you’re wearing it as often as I have been). It certainly would make a good top for spring and definitely an essential for summer!

Mini Crossbody Tote
While I typically find myself carrying an oversized bag, I recently learned that a mini cross-body can be just as effective as it is cute. I have always loved Rebecca Minkoff's bags (you may know her as the designer behind this trendy bag) and I have had my eye on this little Mini Mab Tote. The pop of pink is not the norm for me, but I loved the idea of carrying this with simple outfits or with patterns for a bold statement. It actually holds a lot more than I would have imagined, and it's the perfect accessory for running errands.
I've found that this bag comes in almost every color and I've linked my favorites under $200 from Nordstrom below.

Denim Days
When I think of a denim jacket, I immediately revert back to the (not- so- joyous) memories of middle school. I'm pretty sure GAP was the only place to score the denim jacket and I can remember all too well me wearing my jacket with my rhinestone bebe tank top. Complete with baggy sleeves of course. Yikes. Ok, well fast forward 15 years and I am actually finding myself ahem, obsessed (yeah, I said it) with this updated version from J Crew. The light color makes it really easy to wear with a lot of tops, dresses, and even denim. You can see how I paired it with this striped dress here.
Thanks for reading and have a wonderful weekend!

Blue & Orange Tunic
Happy almost Friday! We have guests coming in tonight for a weekend wedding and I am looking forward to spending time with friends from college. I've always enjoyed weddings and this one will be no exception. I am so excited for your Renit & Ryan!
Last week, I wore this orange and blue tunic (less than $20) since the weather was much warmer. I love the bright colors and fun pattern! It is the perfect addition to my summer wardrobe. It's long enough to where it could be a beach coverup or worn as a top. It's a great piece to have without breaking the bank and definitely a great find for the upcoming season!
Thanks for reading! xx
