bright this way

Hi Friends,

It's ice cream/fro-yo weather in SF for the next few days!  Although rain is in the forecast towards the end of the week.  Anything goes this time of the year when it comes to the weather, so I'll take advantage of the sunshine while I can and bust out my super fun dresses.

I fell in love with this off the shoulder H&M dress as soon as I saw it on the mannequin at the mall.  I longingly stared at it as I waited for Easter to come and my ban on shopping was lifted...lol!  Unfortunately, it has since sold out online BUT I'm still seeing them at the store, so hurry! :) I'm wearing a size 2, which is also the smallest size it comes in.  It is super comfortable and you can definitely dress it up with strappy heels or more casual with cute flip-flops or sandals.  I'm wearing a belt to cinch it up and make it look a little more work polished but I actually prefer it without. This dress will definitely make it to my travel wardrobe coming up in a few short weeks.  Yippee!!!  I'll share more of my travel plans on my next post.

I'm really loving the dresses from H&M this season.  Here's a similar off the shoulder dress also from H&M and this red one too.  I'm also eyeing this one from Shein and love this Nordstrom pretty lace one. for a summer date night dress.

Plume necklace 
Drape ear jacket



 

Bliss Cuff bracelet
Enlighten bracelet - purchase of this bracelet supports Every Mother Counts, a non-profit organization dedicated to making pregnancy and childbirth safe for every mother. Great gifts for the amazing mom, sister, girlfriends or best friends in your life. 

 

Old Navy denim jacket, I'm wearing a small petite.  This is a classic cut denim jacket. No frills.
TOMS peep toe booties.  I'm wearing a size 5.5.  They are seriously so comfortable and this will also make it in the travel wardrobe capsule.  It runs true to size and can be worn with skinny jeans, shorts, skirts and dresses. The material is suede and it also comes in black!  I've tried on other peep toe booties that are similar in style but I found the TOMS to be the most comfortable fit and price. 
Here's a  similar peep toe bootie and this one at a lower price point and this JCPenney one is a super close replica of my TOMS.

enjoy your week!

Spring Flinging

Happy Friday All!

Wanted to share my #ootd that will probably be in heavy rotation for the next few months.  Also my super awesome WhoWhatWear finds from Target!

This Old Navy Peplum top is perfect!  The material is lightweight and the color combo of yellow and purple is so pretty.  I'm wearing a Small Petite (online only).  I also bought it in white and blue stripe color and I'm so glad I did! There's a couple more color combo and there's a big chance that I'll pick those up too when it comes time to redeem my ON Super Cash.

The Old Navy Pixie pants are from last year but they have a lot of different colors available in store and online.  The petite sizing runs small though, so make sure to size up.  I'm normally a 2P and I sized up to 4P.

Shoes are from Ross.  I just got them last Thursday, 3/24, so they might still be available at your local stores. The brand is Report.  Otherwise, I feel like every single major shoe brand carries this style.

Necklace is a combination of two of my go-to Stella & Dot pieces. Zuni and Isa Disc necklace.
Drape cardigan is from H&M

 

My lunch time on Wednesday was spent at good ole' Target to check out the WhoWhatWear line.  I picked up this Ruffle sleeve top and this Fluted Shift Dress.  I don't see the smaller size available online but it's most likely still available at your local Target store.  I'm wearing a size Small for both the top and the dress.  The material is polyester which is great for traveling because it won't get too wrinkled in the luggage.  Shorts is from their Xhilaration brand.  I live the lightweight feel of it and it has pockets!

 

I'm planning to wear the top with one of my midi length circle skirt similar to this one or denim shorts for a more casual look.

 

 



Enjoy your Friday and the weekend following!
