If you’re looking for a cute lunch/coffee date outfit to add to your wardrobe I’ve got you covered. It’s perfect for the changing seasons, and includes two of my favorite things. It probably won’t be a shocker that two of my favorite things are gingham and denim. Gingham adds a classic feeling to any outfit, and denim adds a fun layer to almost any outfit. Plus it can go from hot to cold temps, and vice versa so a light weight denim jacket is your friend. Thankfully it was warm on our mommy and me outing last Monday. So an iced latte was needed for our date as well. Little man wore his First Crush onesie which I absolutely love. We bought it for Valentines, but then life got in the way. So he’s wearing it for lots of outings.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope y’all have a happy Monday!!

Light weight sweaters are your friend!! Especially when the weather is beautiful one day, and chilly as can be the next. This is the perfect piece to have in your closet when transitioning from winter to spring. It’s seriously perfect for both seasons!! It can be worn on its own the way I did, or layered with a blouse underneath. I love layering with sweaters like this.(Not sure I mentioned that before!! Haha!!)  They give the cutest preppy I’m not over thinking it look. Because really we all want to look pulled together without it looking like we tried a bazillion things on. By the way heres a little unsolicited style advice:it’s so important when wearing a sweater, or top cut similar to this to tuck in just a little bit of it at least. Trust me it adds to how cute it looks, and gives you a waist. Something we all want, and need. You don’t want to look like you’re wearing a burlap sack. If you have any other questions about shirt tucking I’m here for you!! I would love to hear from y’all!! Whats your favorite item in your closet to wear while transitioning into the warmer months?

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Hope y’all have a great weekend!!

Can we talk about how seriously cute the oversized boyfriend shirt trend is? (Or, in my case the oversized husband shirt trend!!) Seeing all these tops made me want a few of my own, but then I remembered a few of the trends I’ve tried in the past that didn’t quite work out in my favor. So, with that in mind I started to brainstorm how to test drive this trend without committing too much. Just in case I looked more like I was wearing a night shirt than being uber fashionable!! ( Which was totally possible. Hello, I’m 5′ nothing!!)

How I came up with the way to try this is going to sound super glamorous. Wait for it…I was folding laundry when I noticed my husbands white undershirt looked similar to a few white boyfriend shirts I had my eye on. Don’t worry, I’ll buy him a new one as a gift. Many people wonder how to buy gifts For your boyfriend or husband, but there are many choices out there. Anyway, he won’t miss this shirt. That’s when the idea clicked, and the using his shirt to try this out happened. I tried it, looked in the mirror a dozen times to check all the angles, and then thought this could work. My husband had no idea it was his undershirt!! So I’m going with hit!! Of course there are guidelines I would suggest, and I’ll list them below. If you have any questions, I’m always happy to answer them!!

Hope y’all are having a great start to your Monday!!

Boyfriend Shirt Guidelines With Your Guys Undershirt

1.Make sure your guys undershirt is only one size bigger than your shirt size. If it’s any bigger pick up a package of under shirts at Target.

2.Make sure they are fairly new white undershirts. The name says it all, and you don’t want to wear a sweat stained shirt.

3. Try this trend with lots of different styles, and fits of denim and skirts.

4.If you feel good in it rock it!!
