Polka Chambray

{Top: Old Navy, Skirt: Banana Republic}

It's definitely a toss up between what gets worn more in my closet, striped or chambray shirts.  The truth is, both are so versatile that I find myself reaching for either of them on any given day.  If you haven't found a chambray shirt to add to your closet, I highly recommend buying one!

Now that the mercury has been staying in the "warm" zone I'm super happy to create some different outfit combinations.  I love the idea of a versatile outfit that has layers even in the summer.  Swapping a tank or other top with a long sleeve button-up and vest at night is a fun way to turn your outfit from day-to-night. I love this look by Jane and how she topped her entire outfit with a great army green vest.

Over the Weekend

I had such a lovely weekend, although it came and went far too quickly (don't they always?).  I was able to squeeze in some fun along with also being productive around the house.  How was your weekend?

Currently my bed is sitting on just a standard H frame, and is quite frankly looking extremely plain in the room.   So I'm considering making a headboard, and have done it before but it was a very simple padded headboard.  This time I'm thinking about a more detailed style, perhaps with some tufting or nail heads.  These are some of my favorite looks currently inspiring me.

A weekend outfit can't get much easier than a colorful skirt and striped shirt right? Also, is anyone else as happy that the denim jacket is back in style as I am?  I'm so happy that I didn't purge my high school denim jacket all those years ago, and have since brushed the dust off it to wear again.  A denim jacket is the perfect topper for an outfit in the summer!

I am in need of a new iPhone case, because I've dropped my Kate Spade case one too many times (despite even using super glue for the past couple of months to hold it together).  These are some of my favorite cases - which one is your favorite?

Since I'm not the tallest person in the world, I have always thought that maxi dresses and skirts would never work for me.  But after seeing the wonderful Sydney wearing them (and hearing she's about the same height as me) I think I may be willing to give it a try.  Now the question is, what color do I buy first?

I've been knee deep, and quite frankly am still knee deep in boxes and unpacking.  But here is a glimpse into what I've been up to lately.  Hope you're all having a wonderful week!

I already mentioned how much fun I had at the Portland Bloggers Meet-Up, but I wanted to share some of the wonderful pictures that Macey at Motormouth Studios took.  As usual, it was lovely meeting and speaking with some local bloggers and finding out what makes them want to blog and much, much more.  If you're in the Portland area, I would highly suggest coming to one of the events which happen about every other month!  You can email Jenni for more information!
