Hello, happy Wednesday! I'm all mixed up on my days since I just got back from a long weekend in Orlando. I'll be sharing a photo diary tomorrow, so be sure to check back for more pictures and details! This is an outfit I wore on Sunday to the Kennedy Space Center (my favorite part of the trip). These pictures were taken at the very beginning of the day though, so before I sweat my face off and the curl right out of my hair! 

Hope your week is going well!

Dress: J. Crew Factory. Belt: Forever 21. Wedges: Steve Madden (similar in more sizes). Clutch: Coach purse worn as clutch (similar). 

So I bought this dress to wear for graduation, which is in 20 days (!!!), but I just couldn't wait to share it with all of you! It's funny because my sister wore a different dress in the same pattern last year for her graduation. So it's the Day family graduation print. What's also funny is that it's such a big deal to pick out a dress that no one's going to see anyway, but who am I to argue with any reason to get a new dress?

My weekend was really excellent. I spent the day Friday with my mom at home, a good portion of which I spent looking at old yearbooks (which you'd have seen if you follow me on snapchat - @myinnerfabulous)! We went out to lunch and then watched the Bruce Jenner interview together. Then Saturday was my last ever Spring Jam. Which is the U's big spring concert/festival. It's like the last hurrah before finals. Sunday was absolutely gorgeous so I had lunch outside and lounged by the lake for a while. All-in-all it was a lovely weekend! Now I need to buckle down and get ready for the end of the semester!

*Keeping it real: I only wore this outfit for these pictures, but I had a good reason! I want to save this dress for graduation, but also wanted to share it with you while it's on sale ;)

Hello, and happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Mine was pretty low key, spent Friday night with my sister, went to see a space exhibit at the science museum on Saturday (I went through a big space phase in elementary school), and then just watched movies/read the rest of the weekend. The perfect balance of relaxation and fun.

Sorry for being so erratic with my posting lately! Life has just caught up with me and I'm trying to get back to a regular schedule!

*Keeping it real: I may or may not have just thrown this outfit on only to go over to my sisters to hang out. You can never be too overdressed, right? ;) 

Trench coat: Calvin Klein (similar). Blouse: Ann Taylor. Jeans: J. Crew Factory. Rain flats: Chooka. Purse: Coach. 

This is a super simple outfit that I wore over the weekend for brunch when it was very rainy and windy (I was lucky to get these pictures taken). I think that trench coats are the secret to looking pulled together. A trench automatically takes whatever you're wearing up a notch and polishes it off. This is the trench coat I was just telling you guys about that I wore every day in London and am so sick of. I still wear it a ton though because it goes with everything and makes me feel like I've got it together. On a totally unrelated note, I'm so excited it's warm enough for distressed denim again! I wore this pair every day this weekend because I love them so much and I can't wear them during the week to work, so I have to get my fix on the weekend.

Anyways, my weekend was jam-packed. I spent basically the whole weekend with friends. I would say that's pretty much my definition of a perfect weekend!

I'm seriously loving monochromatic looks right now (just wait for Wednesday's post)! I love how fresh they look, especially an all white look. 

Phew, last week was one of the longest and most stressful ever. Like I've mentioned before, I'm one of the presidents for my university's chapter that's competing in the National Student Advertising Competition. Our project was due on Friday so we spent all day every day of our spring break working on it. Then I spent all weekend lounging, getting a massage, and sleeping (oh and wine too). It was a stressful, but very rewarding experience. Now we have to present our project in a few weeks, so it's not over yet!

Hope you had a great weekend!

*Keeping it real: Honestly, I don't love these jeans. I think the length is a little weird and unflattering.  What are you gonna do? Might be time to hunt for a new pair :)

Crop top: Forever 21. Skirt: Loft (similar). Heels: JCPenny's (similar). Clutch: Coach (similar). Necklace: J. Crew Factory. 

I wore this outfit on Sunday for brunch with Mark. I know brunch is cliche among bloggers, but I don't care because it's basically heaven. I love love love breakfast foods. Donuts. Eggs. Cinnamon rolls. Bacon. Hashbrowns. What's not to love? Anyway, our brunch was delicious. I had a "Napa Bubbles" cocktail which was champagne and pomegranate juice. So good. I got to wear short sleeves and a skirt, ride to and from brunch in a convertible, and eat delicious food. All in all, it was a pretty excellent day.

Hope your week is going well!

Shoes: New Balance. Faux leather leggings: Forever 21. Sweater: Halogen. Jacket: Gap (similar in more sizes). Purse: Coach. Sunglasses: RayBan. 

As I said in my Insta from the other day, I'm obsessed with these shoes. It's hard to tell but they're metallic (insert heart-eyed emoji). I have been loving the sneaker trend for a while now but just hadn't found the perfect pair to pull the trigger on, but that changed when I saw these pretties. Also, I love that New Balance has reinvented itself. They are seriously killing it right now. 

This weekend was a good one; it was the perfect mix of going out and staying in. On Friday I saw Selma (so powerful) and made myself shrimp alfredo and watched movies at home. Saturday I ran errands with my sister and saw Whiplash. Yesterday I had the most amazing brunch at Loring and then watched the Oscars (boo Birdman). 

Hope you had a fab weekend!

*Keeping it real: Again, it was far too cold to be sporting bare ankles. However, I had envisioned this outfit ever since I bought this jacket back in December, so I just could not wait to see it come to fruition. I was just waiting for the perfect pair of sneakers to complete the look. I can't wait for my trip to CA in a week and a half so that I can flash my ankles around ;)
