Because We Celebrated Mother's Day (2 of 2)

Dress: Forever 21, Cardigan: Old Navy (on sale!), Heels: C/O Just Fab, Belt: Dorothy Perkins (similar)

There is simply nothing better than a Sunday morning brunch, especially when on a beautiful Spring day that's spent with family. Every Mother's Day is special because I have been blessed with the best one, but we're especially lucky to still be able to celebrate these holidays with my Grandmother (who wore her best silver and pink sweater -- perhaps she would be up for a rock & swap?!) 

P.S. I swear my belt was tied appropriately most of the day - I guess all the eating had an effect! ;)

Earrings: Francesca's, Bracelets: Grandma's vintage, Lip color: #103 Kate by Rimmel

My sharp-dressed man:

Shirt: Express (similar), Tie: Express: Pants: Express, Watch: Fossil, Shoes: Bostonian, Belt: Express

If teaching doesn't work out, we clearly know where his other talents lie ;)

Enjoying the day with our amazing Mom (slash Mom-in-law)

Did you do anything special with your Mom Sunday?

Because Kaitlyn (Always) Loves Stripes

Every year around this time, I get the "itch" - That urgent feeling to swap out those boots that have been my saviors for months for colorful flats so my feet can breathe. I long to stash away the heavy sweaters that have kept me warm in my (always) cold office. I count down until days where I can run out of the house without my long puffy jacket, or any jacket for that matter. I dream of Spring.

To feed this frenzy, I recently picked up a few colorful tops (striped, obviously) from LOFT - They are the perfect layering piece for now and staple piece for later with shorts and skirts.

LOFT tee (under $30!), GAP jeans(similar), Urban Outfitters Blazer (similar), Just Fab Bag (c/o & swap w/Lisa), DSW shoes(similar), Dorothy Perkins Belt, LOFT necklace (40% off with code ENJOY40)

What are you most excited to swap out for Spring?
