Kinda-Casual Friday

Well, this post may be a little brief, due to the fact that I managed to catch a cold from one of my siblings, and am currently laying in bed trying to recuperate.

My brain doesn't feel like making words right now :P

Anyway, when I planned ahead, (luckily) and did pictures for this post I figured I'd pair up some jeans with black heels and go from there.

 

Then I grabbed one of my favorite tops, and layered it under a mint button-up for a casual-but-still-nice look.

 

 

Top it off with some silver jewelry, and BAM, you're ready to take on the world! As long as you can walk in heels, that is.....

Thanks for reading, hope y'all have a great weekend!! :)

Floral With a Vintage Flair!

Hello lovelies,

This post is extremely late this week due to bad weather and recovery from a weekend-long retreat I attended. I have been fortunate enough to be included on the Catholic Youth Leadership Team for my diocese and got to spend the entire year working with who are now some of my closest friends to plan the Annual Catholic Youth Convention. It was such a blessed experience and I hope I can do it again next year.

But I digress. I was so excited to learn that this week's trend was floral because I had just received a vintage dress that my grandmother wore from my mom and I am absolutely in love with it! I have a huge crush on vintage-style clothing, especially from the 1940s-50s era.

Sandals: Born; Dress: Vintage, handmade, similar one here: Eshakti; Earrings: Handmade

This outfit is great for a busy summer day when you have tons of fun to get to, but you slept in! If your dress is a wrap one like mine, it's super quick to get into. All you need to do next is pop on some cute sandals, a pair of earrings, and you're ready to take on the world! For makeup I just did the basics: Foundation, Mascara, lip gloss and blush, but you could definitely play around with a bright red lip and a cat-eye for an extra retro feel. The messy bun is quick and a bit of a modern touch, but if you really want to go all out, you can add a headscarf and maybe even some curls!

I hope you all didn't mind the wait too much, I apologize again, hopefully my next post will be on schedule!

Love you,

Bridget

Maxi Skirt: A Splash of Silver

Hello everyone! ;)

Well; when I went to download the pictures for my post, I found that my mother had named them "A splash of silver," and thought it was too good of an alliteration to pass up. (Also; I couldn't think of another title, so, y'know, thanks mom... :cool: )



The weather in West Texas has been.... unreliable for the past few weeks, going from 80°F to 34°F in the space of a day or two, but I decided to go with a springier outfit because, really, it's March. March is spring here.



Anyway; I wore a graphic Paris top layered under a sheer-ish teal/mint short-sleeved button down, and silver shoes and clutch to coordinate with my grey skirt. Plus a cursive "Love" necklace because I'm wearing a Paris shirt and, well, what else was I supposed to do?



Once again, I don't remember where I got all of my pieces, but I'll give it a shot. Just for you. You're welcome. ;)

-Paris Top: Ross  -Grey Maxi skirt: Also Ross   -Silver Wedge Sandals: Target (This was a couple of years ago, so they're probably discontinued.)  -Silver Clutch: Target; I got it clearanced at the same time I got the sandals, so I'm 97% sure you can't get it anymore.  -Button Down and Jewelry: Once again, these originated somewhere outside of the dusty borders of my memory, although the necklace was borrowed from Brooke, (my sister) and I think she got it somewhere online.(I know; that sure helps, doesn't it.)

Well, now that I've exhausted my blogging powers for the day, I really should sign off.  Adieu! (You know, because of the shirt! *Looks at you intently to make sure you got it*)
