This classic twist on the Little Black Dress is my absolute favorite. I have always loved the ease of a shirtdress, but the tied waist really completes the look. I paired it with these espadrilles (under $90) but it would look great with a dressier sandal like these. The light cotton definitely makes this dress a staple for summer. Thanks for reading! xx

Embroidered Top
I love embroidered tops for Spring and Summer. This white and blue top is from ChicWish and I think it's so fun for the new season. I wore this flowy top with my trusted boyfriend jeans (true to size), but I also plan to wear this with my favorite denim shorts (size down // also seen here) this Summer.
Speaking of Summer, can I just mention that there is only 6 more weeks of school left? But who's counting! Have a great Monday and thanks for stoping by! xx

Gray & White
When readers ask me where I find inspiration or how I put together a look, I always go to my closet staples. While I enjoy trends, I feel like your basics can always be worn from season to season. If you follow me on instagram, it's pretty obvious that I have a thing for white tops lately. I love to wear white (especially this time of year) and this top is no exception! I kept the look pretty simply, but paired it with my gray Rebecca Minkoff Crossbody (under $200). I love the gray leather and black hardware. It's a nice change from my usual gold or silver and I like the edgy vibe. Rebecca Minkoff has always been a designer I have loved and respected. When I saw this little beauty at Nordstrom for under $200, I knew it would be the perfect neutral crossbody!
It's a fun look that can be dressed up in heels or in flats depending on your mood or occasion.

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!

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!

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

Swimsuit Guide
Spring Break is upon us and that can only mean two things. 1. Warmer weather is near (yay!) and 2. Find that perfect swimsuit. While I won't be by the beach this week, I do know I have a few upcoming beach trips that will require a new suit and most importantly an adorable cover up!
Recently, I started my search and I have been so impressed with the collection of swim wear and accessories at Nordstrom. They always have a good mix of designer to budget friendly-- you can't go wrong! Not to mention the best customer service (seriously- the best). Click the items above to shop my favorites, or see more of my swim picks below! I just ordered this coverup for my summer trips. Can't wait to wear it!
Happy shopping and here's to warmer weather! xx

Grey Neutrals
Equipment has grown to be one of my go to brands for silk basics. I've always heard people rave about The Slim Signature Silk Blouse and I had no idea how good it was until I tried it on my own. The price tag can be a little daunting but once you see for yourself you will quickly realize how great they are. The fit and quality are just a couple reasons why I choose Equipment as my silk blouse of choice.
I picked this fun print up at St. Bernard Sports last week. I loved the print and knew the color would transition well into Fall. I wore it with some white pants to keep the look light and summery but I plan to switch out the white and pair this blouse with some black denim and Tory flats for Fall.

Crochet Details
I've always appreciated a Summery top, especially when it involves crochet detailing. There's just something about lacy tunic that makes me think of Summer. I wore this this little crochet top last week to dinner and it was the perfect solution to these hot temperatures we've been having in Dallas. I am all about light and airy fabrics when its 100 outside! I kept the jewelry pretty minimal and just layered a few Gorjana necklaces and added a pop with this painted bangle by Stacy Brown Designs.
