Outfit- Fall Transition

The temps here in NC are still hot as heck so it's hard not to dream about fall and cooler weather.  I've said this a few other times here on the blog but fall is my favorite season for a few reasons.  I'm really hoping for some cooler temps in the next few weeks... at least maybe cool enough to wear a sweater or light jacket in the mornings and at night.  I've been eyeing all of the fall collections that have been slowly taking over Instagram and my email since July.  The jacket I have shown below is perfect for those cool mornings I was describing and would also be great to take to a football game if in your teams color (which the red happens to be ours)!  Also, I got these Paige denim jeans last fall and love them.  They're have the perfect amount of stretch and length.

Spring

Hey everyone!  I've been having issues with Google and was locked out of my account for a while, but I'm back!  I can't believe that it's already spring.  We had a wonderfully busy Easter.  We attended my mom's side of the family's church, then drove about another 30-45 minutes to my moms house for lunch.  Mary-Grace was exhausted by the end of the day!  Holidays or an out-of-the-ordinary day can sometimes be challenging with a one year old because their routine is different and napping can be an issue with all of the events and traveling... as you other parents know!  She's down to one nap a day now which allows us to do more things in the mornings, but by the time the afternoon nap rolls around, I'm worn out too!

I love the spring season... the blooms (which my sinuses hate), the warmer temps, and the fresh fruits.      I also love getting my shorts and dresses back out and upfront in my closet.  You never know with living in NC though; might be able to wear those shorts once or twice in the winter!  I love buying and wearing warm weather clothes much more than cold weather clothes.  I also love that I don't have to worry about layering much and having the layers go together.  I've listed below a few of my current favorite spring essentials.
Happy Friday, everyone!
