There’s something about sunshine yellow that makes it nearly impossible not to be a little happier and a little brighter. Since black and yellow can be a bit borderline bumblebee-esque, the addition of a third hue, like a bold blue belt, helps to make the color combination more wearable and pulled together.

Outside of boyfriend cardigan’s, the over-sized cousin of the traditional cardigan, I’ve never really been a fan of the buttoned up sweaters. They look great on other girls, but they have always felt a bit too on the preppy side for my style. That is until I realized I’ve been wearing them all “wrong”. I saw this cardigan combo on Pinterest* and haven’t been able to get it out of my head so of course I had to try and replicate it. The traditional cardigan worn backwards — an absolutely brilliant twist.

I have a soft spot for lacy white dresses. I know I have at least five, I’ve blogged about a few here, here, and here, and yet I still find myself drawn to them. Since they’re so feminine on their own, I like to add a casual edge with a pair of slightly rugged ankle boots. Together they’re perfectly balanced.

It’s safe to say I’m not exactly athletic. In fact, I’m fairly certain that while tossing the softball around yesterday the bf told me I may just be the most uncoordinated person he’s met. I’m okay with that though, because even in grade school I was more interested in having fun socks and cute shoes, and that hasn’t changed much, although the sneakers have been upgraded to stilettos*.
*Well, kitten heels, but you get the idea.

I don’t know about you, but my weekend was chock full of some pretty special ladies. I spent most of it honoring two wonderful women in particular by celebrating the much deserved success of an old friend, and enjoying a lovely day with possibly my favorite person in the universe, my amazing mother (hi mom!). I hope that everyone enjoyed a great weekend with a little girl power sprinkled in.
