Happy Wednesday! I am a strong believer that every girl needs a little black dress jumpsuit in her closet. You know, the perfect little black jumpsuit that works for brunch with the girls, date night, and even that long plane flight you’ve been dreading. Jumpsuits are such a staple in my closet, and I typically find myself reaching for them more often than I do my flouncy sundresses. There’s just something about jumpsuits. They are casual and comfortable, but they still exude effortless confidence and make any outfit a little extra chic.
I can admit that I first saw this jumpsuit hanging in my mom’s closet back in March (can you tell raiding my mom’s closet is one of my favorite activities?). I tried it on & fell in love. I ended up hopping on Nordstrom and ordering the exact same one for myself! Unfortunately this exact jumpsuit is sold out at the moment, but fingers crossed it will come back in stock soon. I’ve noticed that this piece has gone out of stock more than once on Nordstrom, which is not shocking to me because it’s such a great find (especially for under $60!).
For dinner with my dad, I paired this jumpsuit with a statement necklace and black Steve Madden espadrille wedges (that I recently featured in brown). Though I do adore these affordable, espadrille wedges, I must admit that you do have to break them in. Definitely opt for a band-aid on your heel the very first time you wear them! Besides that tiny, initial downside, I am still not over how much I love them. As for this statement necklace, I purchased it from BaubleBar quite a while ago. In my dream wardrobe, I would definitely a real turquoise squash blossom necklace. The dupe will suffice for now! Though this exact one is no longer on the BaubleBar site, BaubleBar did create one with their Target collab that’s incredibly similar! If you haven’t seen BaubleBar’s collaboration with Target, definitely take a peak. Your wallet will thank you.
I think a black jumpsuit would also be perfect with neutral (or bright colored) sandals and a cross-body purse for a casual day of shopping or exploring. Would this jumpsuit not be absolutely amazing for a beach trip? I definitely think so! Hopefully this jumpsuit comes back in stock again ASAP because it’s wonderful. I have linked several other black jumpsuits for spring below! I hope you’re having a wonderful week.

Boho Blouse
TOP printed blouse (currently sold out- similar options linked below) | JEANS white busted jeans | WEDGES espadrille wedges | PURSE chloe purse | NECKLACE gold coin necklace (sold out- linked similar)
Hello, hello & happy Wednesday! The first week back from spring break is never an easy one, let me tell you. However, I do love routine, and I am more than ready to get back into the swing of things. Graduation is 52 days away, which absolutely blows my mind. I still can’t believe how quickly college has flown by. Boy, is it bittersweet.
This past week in Dallas, I finally got to break out three of my favorite new pieces: a purple printed blouse, white ripped jeans, and neutral espadrille wedges. I eyed this breezy blouse for weeks. I typically find myself lusting over printed shorts, dresses, and rompers- never really dying over tops. However, when I discovered the brand ‘Spell & the Gypsy’, that completely changed for me. Spell makes the most incredible printed pieces, especially blouses. I love that their prints make a statement without being too overwhelming. When I saw this top on Planet Blue (let alone at a discounted price !!), I immediately had to add it to my cart. This top is a ridiculously comfortable, and I love the thought of knotting it at the waist and pairing it with a white midi skirt or some white culottes (swoon) for summer.
For a night out in Dallas, I paired the top with my new white ripped skinny jeans and espadrille wedges. (Side note: though I love these affordable espadrille wedges, make sure that you wear a band aid on your heels the first few times you wear them out. I’ve worn them twice now, and I would highly recommend a band aid the first 2-3 times you wear them.) To keep the rest of the look laid back and beachy, I added my favorite half up/half down hairstyle and a slouchy purse (that my lovely mom let me borrow). I finished the look off with a simple gold coin necklace that I purchased last summer.
All in all, I have a new love affair with printed blouses, especially for spring. They make for the perfect transition piece that can be paired with pants and shorts alike. I’ve linked a few printed blouses below at a variety of price points.
I hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday!

Favorite Shoe Trends for Spring 2017
Everybody has their own guilty pleasure. For me personally, it’s shoes. I can admit that I have something of a shoe addiction and that I own more shoes than any human being probably should. They say the first step is admitting you have an addiction, and friends, I definitely have a weakness for shoes. Whether it be strappy sandals, sky-high patforms, or anything in between, I want them all.
I can hardly contain how excited I am for all of the spring trends this season- shoe trends included, of course. I wanted to share three of my favorite shoe trends for this upcoming season that I have been noticing (and loving) lately!
Talkin’ Flatforms
Wedges + sandals = flatforms. Meet your newest summer obsession & the hottest shoe trend. Never did I ever think I would fall for the flatform wedge, but I have to admit, I am a little obsessed now. When my mom and I spotted these Steve Madden beauties, we both snagged a pair (she opted for the tan and I went with the gold). Best part? They are under $100. Other best part? They are so, so comfortable. I love that they are versatile and can be easily dressed up or down. Whether you have a special event like graduation or you want a casual pair of wedges you can pair with rompers and shorts, these gems are perfect. I have a feeling these may be my newest faves [which is why they deserved a photoshoot of their own!].
I hope you all had a lovely weekend!
xoxo,
Mackenzie
