Can we just agree that this Dex polka dot blouse is the cutest? Seriously, so adorable with the little bow shoulder tie ups. Just melts my heart. I love the cute-sy detail but also that the piece is feminine and classy, making you still feel like an adult. It truly does a great job of balancing trendy, cute, feminine and professional look all in one blouse. The adjustable shoulder ties are a major plus for me, as I like to make sure everything is secure especially if I am bending over or working with little kids when I visit schools. I am also a fan that the ribbons are thick so it's easy to hid the bra straps underneath and there is no need to throw on a cardigan or blazer over top for an office environment, unless you want to.
Now the pants were an instant YES for me while in Edmonton for my "sisters" weekend (I still need to find the time to write about that). Red is a classic color and though it's been a pantone color pick for a while, I just feel like it never goes out of style. They are soooo comfy and the elastic waistband makes them a winner, 🤣. They are a comfortable fit through the legs and around the waist. I also love that they are high rise, so next year when I am back in the classroom, I'll have no issues crawling around in them and wont have to tug my shirts down. Oh, I hope high-waisted pants never go out of style again.
Another item that I was thrilled to find on my trip Edmonton was a pair of neutral pumps. I 've been searching high and low without luck, I could only find a matte color but not one with a little shimmer and shine. These Rockport pumps are not only the perfect color, but the mid-heel is comfortable to wear all day long in the office.
I am off to a fun night out with my good gal pal, Carrie Underwood!!!! I can't wait to see her live with my sweet friend Heather. Follow along on IG and next week I'll be showing you how I styled my cowboy boots for a fun night out! Happy weekend everyone!
Last weekend we went to Mr.K’s cousins wedding. It was lovely to see two young, high school,
sweethearts, take the vows and move into a new chapter of their life. I might be partially biased, Mr.K and I took the
leap at the age of 21, but I love watching young love grow into lifetime
commitment. I feel like Mr. K and I have literally grown up together, and have had to make changes and adjustments as a couple every step of the way, since we were 17. (Of course I know it doesn't always work out that way but so far so good).
The
wedding was outdoors on a farm and Anya took the opportunity to pose and explore
the beautiful garden there. We had one
extra child, our nephew, who stays with us for a couple of weeks each
summer. Didn’t they all clean up nice?
We have been at the lake more or less the whole summer and
so I didn’t buy anything new for the wedding.
Instead I posted on INSTAGRAM and had my friends help me choose an outfit
and so this is what I wore.
I love how full this skirt is from Chickwish, but I don’t
get to wear it nearly often enough as we don’t go to fancy events much. I paired it up with a pink RW & Co. top
from last year, some H & B rose gold jewellery and nude heels. Nude heels are a MUST for every girl. Seriously I wear mine all the time, and they
are my go to for most of spring/summer, much more so then my black heels. The ones I am wearing are 424 Fifth and I love the strappy detail,
but my ultimate favorites are the Nine West mid-heel.
Between the weeding and the dinner we explored the little
town and we found this abandoned old, one room school house. Being a teacher I just couldn’t resist the
history and snapping some shots.
Have a great weekend all!
