What I'm Wearing:
Short Sleeved Maxi - c/o Make Me Chic (SheIn's Amazon store!)*
Utility Jacket - Nordstrom*
Tassel Necklace - Pumps & Pushups (SimilarSimilar)*
Metallic Flats - Old Navy (SimilarSimilar)*
Earrings - Chloe & Isabel
Apple Watch*
Headband (See 5 Minute DIY HERE)

Today I am styling my last piece from SheIn's new Amazon store, MakeMeChic! This is such a comfortable maxi dress and as you'll see below, it even has POCKETS! It has a nice loose fit. I do think the added pockets make my body look a little boxy and it doesn't accent my waist... BUT, I think if you wanted to dress this maxi up more, you could cinch the waist in with a belt. :) Since it is almost Valentine's Day, I added a lavender-colored tassel necklace, pink mani, metallic flats and a lace headband (see the DIY here). 

The maxi dress is short sleeved, but I added my green utility jacket as a layer to stay warm. I also tied the maxi dress in a knot by my ankles (although, in some of the photos it came undone and you can see the length). We are starting to get some warmer days here in St. Louis (60-70's!) mixed in with some frigid weather. Spring is definitely just around the corner!

You can see my other outfits from MakeMeChic HERE and HERE.

5 Ways to Bring Spring Into Your Home

The weather here in St. Louis has gone from 70 degrees to tornado watches/warnings and now to possible snow/ice this weekend. Whew! I am SO ready for Spring and for Daylight Saving Time. Today I'm sharing with you how to bring Spring to your home sooner with 5 Ways To Bring Spring Into Your Home . Bringing a little Spring into your home is rather easy. You don't need to change up your entire decor, at least not yet... What I try to do is add little touches here and there. 1. Spring Wreaths One way that I bring Spring into my home is by placing a Spring wreath on my front door or on some of the interior doors in the home. My absolute favorite Spring wreath that I've done is my Split Pea Wreath below, but I'm currently working on a Tulip wreath which I'll be sharing in a couple of weeks! I'm also sharing a couple of other Spring wreaths that I've made below: Split Pea Wreath with Burlap Bow Some other Spring wreaths I've designed:   Simple Spring Hoop Wrea...

Creating a Wider Doorway

My kitchen has no outside walls. That means it has no windows directly to the outdoors. UGH. I love light, I love sunshine streaming through windows and lighting up my house. This was not the case in my kitchen. Last year I renovated the space and added a pass through window in one of the walls.  Now the sun can reach the kitchen - hooray!!  But it is still not a terribly well-lit space. Cue my desire to open the wall between the living and dining rooms - the dining room is the brightest room in the house.  That, however, will be a big job because the wall is a supporting wall (at least I'm treating it that way, even if the building inspector didn't think it was).  I decided to tackle the opening from the living room into the kitchen instead since I know for sure that wall isn't supporting.

Open House Sundays #10 - Cloches & Lavender

Welcome to Open House Sundays where we get a personal invitation to tour through a different blogger's house every week! This week's tour is courtesy of Cindy from Cloches and Lavender .  Cindy is one of the first bloggers I met when I began blogging, her home is brand new (she just moved in earlier this year) and it is GORGEOUS.  Cindy has the best faux painting skills in blogland.  Her pieces are beautifully done using appliqués in a lot of cases - they truly look antique!   Enjoy this Christmas tour of her new home! ***************** Read more »
