The Striped Dress + Giveaway!
What better way to start off the weekend than with a giveaway to one of my favorite dress designers, Maggy London. I wore the Freya Flippy Dress Wednesday for a little dinner date with Austin and could not believe how soft and comfy it was. There is no doubt this will be worn all throughout Spring and well into the Summer.
Maggy London doesn't want you to miss out either! They are offering one lucky TTD reader a chance to win a $150 Gift Card to get a dress of their own! Be sure to check out my instagram this afternoon to find out all the details and how to enter.

10 Minute Makeup Refresh
Up until the past few years, I never really carried makeup in my purse. Of course I had my go to lipstick and maybe a mirror, but that was about it. I realized as I started my career, that it was very typical for the other teachers to run and grab drinks or head to an early dinner after work.
I quickly found out that I needed a little refresh before heading out right after work. Like most of us, I don't always have time to reapply everything, so I've found that all I need are a few key products to give my skin that healthy glow in a short amount of time.
I have always been impressed with YSL Beauty and I was so excited to try the new 'Pop Water' Collection (a Nordstrom exclusive). All of the colors are on point for Spring and Summer.
Here are the steps I that take me from desk to dinner in 10 minutes or less. I'd love to hear what you try!
Step 1
I've always struggled with oily skin. My dermatologist says I will be thankful for that, but for now, I am trying to cover up that excess oil. Whether you have oily skin or not, it's always a good idea to blot and powder at the end of the day. I don't know about you, but my face could use a little more coverage come 5 o'clock. This pressed powder by YSL is the key to keeping my skin ...
Chambray & White
Good morning! I hope everyone is having a great week. Sorry for being a little quiet lately. This is a very busy week with with school and I am spending my extra time focusing on my classroom! While those snow days were nice, us teachers are all now scrambling between conference makeups (our parent/teacher conferences happened to fall on one of the snowdays!) and rescheduling Open House on Thursday. Let's just say...come on Friday!
In the meantime, let me tell you about my love for chambray. I really can't pass up a good chambray top. This Chambray Blouse (50% OFF with code BESTSALE1 ) was hit the second I saw it hanging on the rack. Don't you love those moments? I love the fit and length. I kept it simple and threw on my go to White Pants and Cross Body Bucket Bag. Sometimes it's nice just going back to the basics.

At the Market
If only Dallas had flower markets like Seattle, am I right? Looking back at these photos from our trip to Seattle makes me miss this city even more. Like I said, we went to the market every day during our stay and I couldn't resist a $5 bouquet even if it did mean I would have to leave it behind. Cherry blossoms always remind me of our wedding and I couldn't say no.
I have been wearing this pink coat (under $40) so much since it's still chilly. It is such a steal and actually amazing quality for the price! See how I styled it with boyfriend jeans here. Happy Tuesday! xx

Everyday Basics
Now that March is here, I'm officially staring to wear some of my Spring essentials. This weekend we got a taste of Spring weather (rain included!). It got me motivated to dig through my closet and pull out some of my staple pieces for Spring.
One of my go to outfits is my Vince Camuto White Blouse (now on sale), distressed jeans, and my Vince Camuto Mules. You may have known Vince Camuto strictly as a shoe designer, but his brand is so much more. Nordstrom has the new Spring Collection and it really is gorgeous. Lots of pastels and fun patterns. Perfect for the warmer weather! Side note: I have been looking everywhere for a great pair of peep toe mules and these are by far my favorite. They really are so comfy and I love that they can fit narrow feet.
There's just something about the ease of a white blouse and distressed denim that I find effortlessly chic. I've linked more Vince Camuto favorites as well as some of my favorite sandals below.

My Spring Uniform
Happy Monday! Thank so much for following along during my trip to Seattle. I loved hearing from a lot of you regarding places to see, eat and shop! My trip was short, but I tried my best to hit up each place. Seattle is awesome and I can't wait to share pictures from our trip soon.
Like most of you, I am ready for spring. I am definitely missing the patio weather, open toe-shoes, and colorful ensembles. This blue and white tunic (less than $20 // runs small, size up) was quick to catch my eye for spring. Tunics (or long tops in general) are usually on the top of my list and this one was no exception. I kept the look easy and paired it with my favorite jeans (I love the length!) and new sandals. These sandals were a find in New York and I can't wait to wear them all summer. See below for more Spring tunics for all budgets. Happy Shopping! xx

Happy Wednesday! All of these snow days have me wishing for warmer weather. These are some of my favorites for Spring/Summer. I just got those sandals in the mail, and while they aren't the cheapest, they sure do make my feet look amazing! Those sunnies are also a top favorite at just under $40. Happy Shopping! xx

Pink & White
Happy Friday Everyone! Today I wanted to share a more "work appropriate" outfit that I plan to wear on repeat this Spring. I'm always a sucker for neutrals and this pink blouse / white pant combo was no exception. Usually, I stick with longer, oversized tops to wear with a more slimmer pant. This version by Equipment is another great blouse to have in your closet (worth every penny!)
I've always been drawn to neutral colors and I love the way they look with cognac accessories. These heels are surprisingly comfortable, but I know heels aren't for everyone. These sandals are a great alternative!
