Polka Dot Skirt: Target Girls' Section

 (more affordable polka dot denim here, here & here)

What a beautiful weekend it has been- perfect weather for showing off my new polka dot chambray skirt! I picked up this skirt for only $4.98 in Target’s little girls’ section. Once I got home I changed my outfit to wear the skirt because it’s THAT amazing. I’ve worn this skirt a few times and have already received so many compliments on it. I don’t know whether it’s cool that it’s from the little girls’ section or embarrassing. Either way- I adore the skirt!

It gets pretty hot where I live and I’ve always been a shorts gal, but I’m quickly warming up to skirts. They’re so versatile and feminine (which I absolutely love) and still keep me cool on hot days. 

Skirts for the win!

Looking Back

Today I’m getting a little personal. Yesterday was a difficult day for me because my grandpa passed away. We were extremely close and was so blessed to be able to live with him for 18 years. Yesterday brought so much pain, but I was able to look back on all the amazing memories I was blessed to make and what a gift it was to have such a great relationship with him. I was reminded how incredible it was to have him around for all the big moments in my life and what a great man he was. My heart is hurting, but there is comfort and hope knowing he is in a place where he is not restricted by his body or mind, but at peace in heaven with his beautiful bride. 

I will always have a special place in my heart for him and will hold close the great memories I have.

Love you, Bapa

Aztec Diamond Blouse

W118 By Walter Baker Top: Ross ($14.99) (also here)

Sandal: Target ($20) (similar here)

Leather Shorts: Target (cute Free People version here)

Oryany Bag: Tjmaxx

I went to Macy’s a couple months ago and saw this colorful peplum blouse; it was such a statement piece, but $128 was way out of my price range. I figured it was very funky and wouldn’t be a blouse many people would gravitate towards, so I was planning on waiting until it was on clearance to buy it. Fast forward a few weeks- I’m at Ross and not only do I find the blouse, but it’s also on the clearance rack for $14.99. Does it get any better than that?! It was glorious moment and the blouse was still as beautiful as I remembered. I’ve been saving these bright red sandals for the perfect outfit and thought they meshed so well with this multicolored top. And the leather shorts were just icing on the cake!

Linen Jacket

H&M Linen Jacket: Thrifted ($8) (Similar versions here & here)

F21 Mosaic Dress: Plato's Closet ($6) (also love this dress)

Banana Republic Sandals: Thrifted 

This linen motorcycle jacket is perfect for warmer weather days. The jacket adds that extra coverage I wanted and the linen fabric kept me nice and cool. I found it at a thrift store with the H&M tags still on it for only $8, originally $40! It’s a pale pink, which is hard to see in pictures, so I paired it with this pretty mosaic-print dress; the blues in the dress stood out beautifully against the pale pink. I found this dress at Plato’s Closet for only $6; I’m crazy about the cinched waist and bright print- perfect for summer!

Nude Sandals: Steve Madden

Elliott Lucca Bag: Plato's Closet (another metallic crossbody here)

These silky pj-like pants by Walter Baker are super comfortable while still being stylish- perfect fit for a relaxed spring look. I kept the rest of the outfit structured so it didn’t appear like I rolled out of bed or was in the Hammer Time music video.
