Not sure why the white top looks so jarringly white in these pictures😂we're obviously not professional photographers. Aside from that, I really love this outfit and the mix of textures together. The skirt is pretty simple, I'll be honest I overlooked it when I saw it online, but decided to try it on in store on a whim. I ended up really loving it and think I'll get a ton of use out of it. I'm already envisioning it with black tights and booties - my favorite (can't belive how dark my hair was)! It's classic, and also maybe a little Britney a la Baby One More Time ;) 

Hope your week is going well! We're halfway there!

Are you sick of this cardigan yet? I'm definitely not! I can't belive how much wear I've gotten out of it already since the Nordstrom Sale. You can never go wrong with neutrals though. 

Not much to report from this weekend. We opted to be lazy, like I-stayed-in-my-PJs-and-took-a-three-hour-nap, lazy :) felt so good! 

Thanks for stopping by!

The perfect outfit for a Friday, no? And thank god it is Friday. No idea why but I was so messed up on my days this week which made it feel extra long; albeit long, it was a good week. Mark and I celebrated our eight year anniversary on Wednesday. How crazy is that? We kind of forgot about it in all the excitement over getting engaged so it was very laid back. We drank champagne and made pizzas because we're all about the pizza over here. The rest of the week was pretty normal though, and it's seeming like this weekend will be much of the same thing. I'm craving a lazy and cozy weekend of reading and binge watching Narcos, but the constant California sunshine makes me feel guilty when I'm holed up inside. Can we get a little rain up in here? One last thing about the outfit: this is actually what I was wearing when Mark proposed! I gave him a hard time that he couldn't let me put something nice on and that it ended up being a super casual outfit that I'll remember forever. Oh well :) The outfit may be kind of simple, but it's a regular around here and the layers and rich color combinations give it just enough visual interest to be simple but not boring. 

That's all folks, have a good weekend!

Love the soft grey dresses. I'm leaning toward a pretty neutral palette.

This is serious #flowergoals and has me feeling like I need to recreate this :)

I kind of love the idea of different bridesmaids dresses in a similar color palette so they can wear something that suits them best and they actually like.

I think white flowers with some greenery are so stunning and simple.

I love the idea of neutrals, but also really love the idea of a beautiful eggplant color as well. So hard to decide!

We already saw #flowergoals so now here's #cakegoals!

Who wouldn't want a champagne tower at their wedding?

Pretty much zero decisions can be made until we have a venue and date locked down, which will hopefully happen in the next two weeks, but I'm still having a ball trying to figure everything out!
