An Unlikely Pair: Animal Print and Floral


Whew!  What a busy week it has been.  We've been busy with family at the cabin and all the cousins and all the heat!  No complaints and although we are so happy, we are all also feeling a little tuckered out from all the fun.  I am looking forward to having a few days with just our little family and reconnecting with them.  


Speaking of reconnecting.  Mr. and I have been enjoying our own date nights at home through COVID.  We still have yet to go out on a patio or for dinner at a restaurant and honestly have no plans to do so anytime soon.  We've found a new groove, involving getting all dressed up, strolling the streets of our city, grabbing an ice cream cone and enjoying our own patio.  Just a couple of weeks ago, I went home from the lake and we had a mini-date night and took these photos.  It was perfect and CHEAP!  


What are you doing for date nights these days?  


I absolutely love this little leopard dress and have featured it many times on the blog, see here and here.  Abby from Belong Lifestyle paired their floral blazer with a leopard top a while back and as soon as I saw it, I was inspired to try the combination as well.  Unfortunately they don't have the cute blazer anymore in stock but they have an awesome leopard print slip dress that I've linked up below.  My dress is tucks into high-waisted jeans well, so I often wear it as a top in the fall/winter months.  I love when clothes can serve many purposes.  Side note, my cute little pup chewed my favorite pumps.  I need a comfortable, low heel , pair to replace them with.  What are your suggestions for a replacement?

  7. This is a beautiful dress and I love how it looks tucked in with jeans as well styled with a blazer. It's eye catching and I can't get enough. Oh no! Sorry about your shoes. I don't wear heels so not going to be helpful in this department but the nude sandal I do have that has a low heel came from Forever21. It's my go to and so far has lasted me for awhile. Then again, I don't wear it often! So see, not helpful! We haven't done a date night since COVID started. We don't have family close by to drop off little man. I hope you and your family are well. How is it already August?

    1. I really feel for you not having family close by. Do you have friends that you are exchange babysitting with? We used to sometimes do that for our friends. We are very lucky that my parents and aunt and uncle and my grandma were all nearby when the girls were little.

  8. Such a fun print mix! I always like red and leopard together :) We haven't felt safe eating at restaurants yet either but have got takeaway a few times :)

    Such a shame about your shoes though! I hope you can find a cute replacement pair and your adorable pup stays away from them, haha!

    Hope that you are having a lovely weekend! :)

    1. Hahahah. Me too. Or at least I'll learn not to leave them out. I can honestly say we aren't even missing restaurants that much, probably because we have been ay the lake and that's not really a thing we would do there anyway.

  9. I am definitely HERE for this combo! So bright and fun!
