A girl can never have too much pink or at least I don't think you can. I love the way the pink pops against the all black of my outfit. I think contrast is sometimes what makes things so interesting. My necklace was handmade by the talented Petite Utile. I love the way it looks like dragonfruit but at the same time has a modern geometric feel to it. It instantly dresses up a simple black sweater or top. It also looks so cute with a plain white button down or for more fun - try mixing it with a color like blue or yellow. I always gravitate towards accessories that are fun and unique. Petite Utile has a shop filled with items that perfectly embody those two words and then some.

This retro inspired shoot was sooooo much fun! I had a blast posing with all the giant gumballs and doing my best to blow the blogger's biggest bubble (and wow did I chew a lot of bubblegum). This was my first experience with Unique Vintage and I am hooked. This adorable midi skirt is so well made. It looks so thick and full + it has pockets. Pockets are the way to my heart where clothing is concerned. They are the sprinkles to my donuts. I love all the bright colors and how fun the gumboil print feels. Seriously - how can this outfit not make you happy?!?

This entire outfit was inspired by the necklace. I'm such a fan of statement necklaces - especially that have the perfect blend of fun, unique, and adorably quirky. This ice cream sandwich had my number the minute I saw the colorful sprinkles! When I went to style it the thought was: go big and bright. If you're not much for neon (trying not to pass judgment over here 😉) - you could pair this necklace with pretty much anything. I love it with a simple white button down and boyfriend jeans. Or mix it with a bright sweater and white skirt. Try going out in one head to toe color with the necklace as the focal point. It has so many possibilities. I'm Your Present has about has a statement piece for everyone. Currently I'm coveting the taco necklace and lucky charms bracelet. There truly is something for every personality!

What's not to like about the color red? I love how it makes your outfit stand out from the crowd. These printed shorts made it easy for me to add lots of red accessories into my outfit. The crisp white of my peplum top helps tie it all together and keep it from being overwhelming. 

It's Friday - Hooray!!! I love the weekends and this one is extra special because it's a holiday weekend! No measly 2 days - we get a bonus one! I'm going to attempt to bring you date night looks every Friday because in my opinion to key to a happy family is to keep the marriage strong. We make it a point to have a date night every week - even if it's just pizza, wine, & a movie after the kiddos go to bed - it's so important to connect and remember what started your family to begin with. I'm going with this vibrant romper because it is super hot here STILL and it ticks all my boxes: comfy, pockets, prints, sweetheart neckline. Plus it's on sale today - less than half price and under $20!!
