Outfit Post: A Neon Kiss Goodbye to Summer

Sole Society sandals c/o (old but love this pair)

Summer may not officially be over yet, but it's getting close! But the neon lover inside me will always roam free. Which is why I always fall in love with what The Impeccable Pig has. So much good stuff. All. The. Time! I wore this neon beauty on my 30th (yep, count it baby - THIRTIETH) birthday! I still want to have a big birthday bash at some point, but while we were in Charleston I just wanted to eat oysters and tacos, drink rose and spend some time with some special people. 

I spent my Labor Day Weekend binge watching Narcos (um yep - we finished the entire 2nd season in 2 days #noshame) eating take out, riding bikes with my husband and pup and just resting and relaxing. Ever since we started our new business, I've been struggling with finding the balance in our lives. So it was nice to just take a weekend and just chill. Does anyone else ever feel that way? 

Happy Wednesday lovelies - I hope you make it a fabulous one! xo

Outfit Post: Distressed Denim Dungarees

Zara denim dungarees (sold out - similar option here at a fab price)

Led Zeppelin tee - I'm wearing a medium because it runs small

Sole Society sandals c/o (old - try these)

Spicer Bags metallic cork crossbody bag c/o

Moon and Lola mix-and-match charm bar necklace (gifted)

Sole Society metallic cat eye sunglasses (old - almost exact dupes)

Christian Paul "Whitehaven" watch (gifted)

Some weekends you just want to put on some overalls and flats, sip a cocktail and pretend like summer will never be over. I know I talk a lot about how much I can't wait for fall to arrive, but it's days when I get to wear outfits like this, that I appreciate the summer heat so much.

I've debated the overall trend and when I finally decided I wanted to try it, I couldn't find any styles that worked for me! Enter in distressed shorts - duh! Because they're frayed and somewhat loosened, the hems didn't feel tight on my thighs like other overall options have. I also love the straight bib style which alleviates the top heavy bulkiness I had experienced with pockets. Now I feel like I #CantStopWontStop wearing these bad boys. Mine are sold out but I found a fab pair from Nordstrom Rack!

Side note: how freaking cute is my charm bar necklace from Moon and Lola? I put it together while at #TBScon a few weeks ago. I love how each charm (I chose a pendant with my lower case initial, a mini pink tassel, rhinestone ball and my zodiac sign) represents me in a fun small way. It's a perfect way to show off your personality and pick exactly what you want. Holla!

Hope you loves are having a GREAT week! xoxo

Outfit Post: Neon Green Skater Dress

What's a girl to do when that dress she orders arrives and it's, well, waaaaay too short to be an actual dress, but she still loves it oh-so-much? Well you take those lemons and you make a top out of it!

American Eagle jeggings

Zara metallic pumps (sold out - try these instead)

Spicer Bags "Carryall" multi-color cork clutch with gold tassel

Ruti Horn gold cuffs c/o

I've been searching forever for a neon green skater dress ever since I missed out on scoring the one during H&M's 2009 Conscious Collection release. So when this one arrived, and I knew it was going to be way too short to wear without something on the bottom, I thought why not make it a top? Add on some distressed skinnies and boom, instant brunch outfit.

If you're in the Raleigh area, come shopping with me! This Thursday from 5-7. I'll be at The Impeccable Pig and you'll get 20% off full priced items! Including their newest fall arrivals (yay!) Hope to see you there!
