Hi everyone and happy Monday! I know last week I wasn't around too much and that is only because it was the last week of school. If you are a teacher or have friends who are teachers, you only know how crazy it can be! With that being said, I am very excited that Summer is here and I am super excited to work on some exciting projects that have been on hold during these next few months.
Now, let's talk stripes. This is a print that will always be a favorite of mine and if you saw my closet you would know I have a hard time saying no to a striped top. However, this past year, I started cleaning out the things I never wear and really looking for those key pieces that will always be in style and remain a wardrobe staple. Like this Striped Button Down Blouse (similar style here and here) .
When it comes to stripes, I typically buy black and white or navy and white, but this grey/blue and white combo really sold me. The versatility is endless!
Thanks for reading! xx

Pink Silk Blouse
Over the past year, I've really been trying to invest in wardrobe staples that don't seem to go out of style. As much as I love a silk blouse, they can definitely be hard on the wallet. Equipment is one of my favorite brands for silk pieces, but recently I tried this version from Vince Camuto (and it's under $100!)
Being the sucker that I am for a classic, silk blouse, this was hard to pass up. I love this with shorts, white pants, or these boyfriend jeans. What are some of your favorite brands for silk tops?

Floral Romper
When I think of my Summer wardrobe, I think of easy, light and fun. This Floral Romper (also worn here) fits my typical Summer look so well.
I love the ease of this playsuit. I don't usually wear a lot of rompers, but this one has to be my favorite. The fabric is (somewhat) fitted and I like the structure. It definitely doesn't feel or look like PJ's as opposed to some rompers you may have seen. I've actually worn this quite a few times dressed up with these heels or dressed more casual with these wedges. This playsuit is the perfect solution to brunch, date night, or better yet- girls night!
Thanks for reading and happy almost Friday! xx

Stripes & Pink Flats
Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend. It was pouring in Dallas, so with the exception of brunch with my Mom and Sis-In-Law, the day was spent mostly at home inside!
Today I wanted to share a laid back look from last weekend. If you've been reading this blog, you probably have noticed that I love casual outfit. It's not that I don't like to dress up, but I just feel most comfortable in a pair of jeans! Anyone else like that? This striped top (under $20) is one of my favorite basics and I love that it's long enough to be worn with leggings, white pants, or boyfriend jeans like I styled here.
Yosi Samra is one of my favorite retailers for ballet flats, but I was really excited when I got a pair of their Preslie Loafers. These are so comfy and I love the perforated leather. These will be on my feet all summer long!

Gingham Tunic
As we start to transition into Summer, I find myself reaching for more and more of my printed tops and dresses. This Gingham Tunic has been calling my name and I have been looking forward to wearing it. To be honest, this is the first gingham piece that I own, but now I can see why it's such a summer time favorite. I've already worn it twice and have plans to wear it this weekend as well! Get 20% off with code 'STEPINTOSUMMER'.
A lot of you have been asking about my school year and how many more days of school we have. Well, my year has been great (my class is awesome!) but I am definitely looking forward to summer! We have only 11 more days left! Isn't that crazy? I think every teacher is counting down the days, but we I am still enjoying this precious time with my sweet class!
Have a great day! xx

Palm Print Maxi Dress
Every girl needs a fun maxi dress for summer. Something that you can throw on for any summer bash or a night on the town. This Palm Print Maxi is a favorite of mine. I have always loved Parker and their dresses always are perfect for any occasion.
For starters, I love the fit. Any dress that I can wear a normal strapless bra is a winner for me- I mean, let's be real! The print is playful too and right on trend for Summer.
I can't wait to wear this dress on vacation next month. It's perfect for a weekend at the beach or by the pool!

Crochet Blouse
This past weekend it has been nothing but storms in Dallas. All of us here in North Texas are definitely ready for the sunshine!
This breezy top (under $40) has summer written all over it and I can't wait to wear this out and about in my go to denim shorts (seen here, be sure to size down). I've said this before, but I love white for summer. It's clean and simple look always puts off a classic vibe.
The crochet details around the neck and shoulders really make this look pop and I love the flowy fit. It's the perfect top for summer!

Wardrobe Essentials
Your closet has probably seen it's fair share of trends, but we all know we can count on those timeless pieces that get us from season to season. If you're like me, you may try the trends every once in a while, but you feel most comfortable in those basic, key wardrobe pieces.
An outfit that I always feel confident in, is a classic blazer (under $100), blouse, skinny pants and a great pair of pumps. This is always a favorite combo of mine. However, I can't forget about the accessories. Let's talk about this watch! I always thought of myself as a gold watch kinda gal, but recently, I have just loved the two-toned look of the Michael Kors Watch Collection. It's a classic time piece that can be worn with gold or silver. It's one of those easy pieces that looks right with just about anything. I have my eye one this version by Michele from Nordstrom, but for now, this Michael Kors beauty will do just fine!
Have a wonderful day and thanks for reading!
