Back to School Outfits – Dress Code Friendly Clothes
You may not like school, but I’m all about back to school outfits! I start school in a week and although I am not very excited, I try to get myself excited by wearing new clothes or styling old clothes in a new way. In college I no longer have a dress code, but I sure remember the struggle in high school. When I dress up for school, my main goal is to be comfortable and style comes second. I tend to wear flats rather than shoes with heel because I have to walk a lot from the parking lot to my classes. My style changes every so often, sometimes…

I’m super excited to see what everyone is going to be wearing to the biggest music festivals and to hopefully give you some fashion inspo.

Hello everyone! As we all know Easter is approaching, which means it’s time to bring out the pretty pastels. I’m a church going gal, so I like to find modest dresses that I can wear to church. I did not get a chance to take pictures of my own Easter outfit, which is why I used my pageant picture which I believe was around Easter time. I was doing face painting at the park for all the kids and it was a very fun day. The dress I’m wearing is from Champagne and Strawberry. They have beautiful pastel, frilly and girly dresses that look very sweet (almost like a dessert).…
