neon moment

As you've probably noticed, neon is having a major moment right now. I'm more of a neutrals girl myself (as I mentioned here), but I think neon is super fun to bring into accessories and details. It's fresh, attention-grabbing and perfect for summer. I thought I'd share some of my favorite finds for the "less is more" gals like me.

style defined

Recently I've felt my wardrobe is in need of a major overhaul. I think it has to do with the fact that I am less than a year away from entering the working world, and I don't want to look the same way I did when I started school. I feel like this happens to me every few years where my style evolves and I just need a refresh; I have changed and grown and learned so much, and my style should reflect that. So lately I've been working on cleaning out my closet and pinpointing exactly what I want my style to become. Not to pigeonhole or limit myself, but I want to have a style mantra to keep in mind to make shopping a little easier and my wardrobe more cohesive. I have come up with a little refrain to guide me in the right direction and chosen my favorite inspiration photos to share, too.

CLASSIC, GIRLY NEUTRALS

WITH A BIT OF EDGE OR POP OR SPARKLE

BUT NOTHING TOO PRECIOUS

AND STANDOUTS FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS

Happy Fourth of July everyone! I hope y'all are enjoying the day. I spent the holiday last year cooped up studying for boards, so this year I'm off to a pool party/backyard BBQ that promises to be a good time. Happy birthday, America!

life lately

Where has June gone? Oh my goodness, it is passing me by so quickly! Here is just a little snapshot of what I've been up to these days (since clearly I haven't been on here):
