{world market}

What I'm wearing: Top by Gibson from Nordstrom Rack,
pants from Anthropologie,
flats by Missoni from Target,
necklace from World Market,
earrings by Lucky Brand

My rediscovery of the week: statement jewelry can really make an outfit. In the morning when I was getting ready, I wanted to wear this basic slouchy black Gibson shirt while still looking put together and unique. My chartreuse World Market necklace and Missoni flats helped me do just that! A pop of color around my neck and at my toes made a simple outfit more fun and more me. I love the mixed textures and colors on the necklace with the bright greenish yellow thread and the industrial silver beads.

Just a few more days of my laid-back summer style before I dive into the school year. With teaching and coaching everyday until 6:30 or so, my blog will unfortunately be less frequent. Hopefully I'll have time to snap pictures of my favorite looks, like this one! This jersey dress layered with lace is a comfy summer option. With the rainy and steamy weather the other day, I wore short boots to keep my feet dry and a tank to keep me cool. Perfect for frolicking in the fields!

{tropical floral for a summer wedding}

During my last weekend in Chicago,

 I went to my friends' wedding that was basically a high school 

youth group reunion with all the friends I hold near to my heart. 

Terah and Brad planned a beautiful ceremony 

followed by a night of twisting and shouting!

As I was running out of the house, I snapped a

few pictures of my outfit. With its tropical floral print,

my dress was perfect for a summer wedding. To make it a little

more formal for an evening wedding, I wore a dramatic chunky pearl necklace

and nude pumps. I was originally planning on wearing wedges, but

since it was a night wedding, I thought pumps would be fancier!

What I'm wearing:
Dress by Jacks,
heels by Akira,
watch by Michael Kors,
necklace from Anthropologie
