It’s no secret that this is the year for coral! Based on Pantone’s color predictions we will be seeing this warm hue everywhere over the next year. Coral has always been one of my go to colors. It works excellently on most skin tones. It’s not too bold like red but also not too soft like blush. Whether you are a redhead with fair skin or a brunette with olive skin this color is one you have to have in your closet!

Now that I no longer work in an office, I’ve tried to incorporate more casual looks into my every day wardrobe (my most recent posts include this one, this one and this one for winter). In the past I’ve reached for coral as a sundress instead of jeans. About two years ago I picked up a pair of cropped jeans. I have never turned back. Being a petite - anything cropped seems to fit me full length soooooooo no hemming or tailoring needed! Score! Just a little tip for all you petites out there!

This is a perfect weekend outfit. Wearing a striped relaxed button down with the sleeves peeking out polishes the look without making it too stuffy. I mentioned last week that I am incorporating more sneaker looks (check out this post on how to wear converse sneakers) When I wear sneakers I oftentimes add a baseball cap or beanie if it’s cold. I think it really helps tie the casual look together and serves double duty of warmth or as a sun visor.

When you are putting together a casual look, simply swap out your regular flats for a pair of neutral sneakers like these. If I have a dinner to go to later in the day, I will remove the sneakers and put on a pair of loafers, wedges or ballet flats then remove the baseball cap. Such a simple change but use shoes and accessories to transform an outfit from casual to dressy or vice versa.

Last but not least comes a spring flavored bag. The one I’m carrying is an older Tommy Hillfiger (who is a wonderful place to go for basics and stripes!) but I’ve found a few others here (only $40!), here and here. Don’t forget a pair of sunglasses if you plan on an outdoor walk, bike ride or other activity. This ensemble is a perfect way to transition from Winter to Spring.

Do you guys wear coral? If you do, is it mostly for dressing up or dressing casual?

How to Wear Converse Sneakers with a Dress

Did you know that the most popular post I’ve done in 10 years was how to wear converse sneakers if you’re petite! Month after month that single post gets more views than any other piece of content. I figured it was long overdue to share a follow-up to that post with how to wear converse sneakers with a dress. Because… spring is coming! Today I’m going to give tips for anybody's height or shape! These are pretty universal and perfect for getting organized for Spring Break this year. Here are a few ways tips for how to wear converse sneakers with a dress.

The Ultimate Designer Sneaker Guide

Let’s be honest, we wear these babies more often than we’d like to admit. Everyone has their go-to style. I personally love a good pair of blush-colored sneakers. In the past I’ve worn this retro pair, these and these I really want! Although I’m not huge on the sneaker trend, I will tell you I wear them often since I work out every day. I love being able to also swap my hiking boots out for trails that require less shoe stability. Here are a few of my favorites and you can shop all of my picks below!

Back to School Sneakers

With all the hype of kids going back to school, it’s the perfect time to grab a pair of new sneakers. I try to refresh my athleisure twice a year (usually Spring and Fall) discarding anything worn or that no longer fits and adding in a few new pieces. Recently I bought a few things to include new leggings (same fit as the ones you are seeing in this pic just in a powder light pink), sneakers, and this adorable top from my friends over at Off the Grid. Sneakers are something you want to change out as soon as they start getting worn. Your feet are imperative as vehicles to get around and worn shoes lead to backaches and injuries. I love the look of these old-school New Balance ones. In fact, I had the same pair in college and wore them until they were no longer in good condition.

Summer Whites

As we wind down with the second half of summer I felt like it was the perfect time to pull out some of my favorite white pieces. Being from the south, classic white cotton eyelet lace is a practical and pretty textile that’s easy to keep clean. Throw the item in the washer and line dry for the best results. White cotton pieces are worn time and time again throughout the years and my go to for getting dressed quickly. I’ve rounded up a ton of pieces below for you to shop ranging from high end to Amazon finds under $20. Whatever your budget is you can find quality pieces in your budget.

What Anxiety and Depression Looked Like for Me

September 2018 I sat inside a psychiatrists office for the very first time. I was at rock bottom. I was having panic attacks multiple times a day and feared getting into my car to drive more than 10 minutes. I couldn’t sleep through the night. I felt utterly worthless. Where I used to be a driven person focused on goals and achievement, I couldn’t find it in myself to even write a blog post. My whole life felt like it was just on hold. I also pondered the meaning of my existence.

Let's Talk Health and Fitness for the Holidays

Thanksgiving is a few weeks away and if you are anything like me you are already dreaming of all of the delicious dishes that will be served. I thought it was appropriate for us to have a quick discussion about health and fitness before diving into the high calorie season. You don’t have to stick to a strict diet all season. You don’t have to jump onto a crazy workout regimen. You can actually enjoy the holidays, move your body and keep the weight off with simple strategies. I’ve found over the years a few things have helped me stay in shape while enjoying all of the amazing foods our holiday traditions provide.
