This morning I wanted to share a recent ‘going out’ outfit I wore recently. I also get asked on my Tumblr about ‘going out’ outfits for college students, and I wanted to show y’all one of my faves. Whenever I shop, whether it be online or in stores, I naturally gravitate towards bright colors and fun prints. I always have. But recently, I’ve been trying to make an effort to opt for versatile neutrals that can be worn with everything. At the beginning of the school year, I picked up this black lace up top. Even though I didn’t think it was too exciting initially, I find myself wearing it all the time. It makes for a perfect fall transition piece paired with black swing shorts, black booties, a black velvet choker, and my favorite piece in my wardrobe – my cactus cardi. Though this cactus cardigan has been sold out for months, Show Me Your Mumu came out with a bull one for fall, and it’s amazing! I absolutely love the chunky fit + the bell sleeves. I am a little excited it’s finally getting chilly here because I’ve been wanting to break out the layers and booties!
Have a fantastic weekend!

Cactus Craze

In the 7th grade, the cactus craze started. I remember getting probably five cacti plants for my birthday that year from friends, and my obsession with them never really ended after that. By the time high school graduation rolled around, I had something of a cactus garden accumulating in my room. Over the years, my love for cacti has not died whatsoever. I celebrated my 21st birthday this past weekend with my college friends, and my birthday sign was a giant, glittery cactus [pictured below]. It was so perfect! Long story short, I have an undeniable love for cacti. I am a sucker for succulents, what can I say?
Earlier this semester, my mom surprised me with this amazing, cactus cardigan that she snagged at a local boutique. Not only is it unique, but it’s super comfy (which is always a plus in my book!). I paired it with a soft black tee, distressed denim shorts, and lace up sandals for a casual and easy look. In the past, I’ve always been pretty anti-cardigan. However, this one has definitely been a huge game-changer for me. I have a feeling I will be embracing the cardigan all season.
On a slightly random note, I have officially moved out of the sorority house. The past two years living in this beautiful house have been incredible, and I am so thankful for the friendships & memories I have made. Moving out today was bitter sweet, definitely more bitter than sweet in all honesty. However, I am excited for this summer and the adventures ahead.
I hope you’re having a great week!
xoxo,
Mackenzie

Business in the front, party in the back. Your favorite dress has to be that perfect combination of classy and fun, and the Katy Halter dress is no exception. Show Me Your Mumu stopped my Sorority house last Friday for a trunk show. I had such a fun time trying on everything and playing dress up. I was, of course, unable to stop myself from picking up my favorite dress in one of their exclusive college tour prints. The red and blue pattern makes for the perfect gameday dress.
I am a strong believer in investing in versatile pieces- those go-to dresses, skirts, shorts, and tops that you find yourself constantly reaching for. At first glance, you would assume this is not a fall time dress whatsoever. However, with the help of some layering, it becomes ready for those chilly, autumn afternoons. There is something so special about the Katy Halter Dress. It’s also so incredibly versatile, making it that perfect dress for church or a night out with the girls. I find myself wearing it year round and styling it in new ways each time. I’ve been wearing this halter dress all season with warm layers, and I am also throwing it in my suitcase for my upcoming trip to Maui.
I decided that it would be fun to style my favorite, little dress for both day and night. For daytime I paired it with a chunky, neutral cardigan, a long necklace and fringe booties. I threw on my favorite, sassy sunglasses as well (that are under $6!). I also plan on pairing the dress with a denim jacket and riding boots for casual fall days as well. This look is great for holiday shopping and even brunch with the family.
Thank you so much for checking out my blog. Also, big thanks to my favorite person, Layne, for taking these gorgeous photos (y’all can check her out on instagram at @layne_little).
