Classic Navy

Happy Friday! This week has been a pretty slow and easy week, which is always a nice change, but I am always excited for a Friday! Plus, this weekend is a three day weekend. Yeah!

As most of you know, I absolutely love the color navy, I know I am repeating myself, but I really really do! There is something so classy about the color. Add a navy outfit with a few pearls and you have the perfect Jackie O. look! What I love, is you can take dresses like this, and wear them differently. I wore, this same dress going into the Fall last year, my hair was up and I had pointy nude heels on, see here. This time, I am going into Summer with wedges, a cute pair of sunnies, and chunky pearls. Which by the way, the necklace and earrings I am wearing are very special, because they were my Aunt Connie’s who just recently pasted away, read the story here. What are some of your favorite colors, or trends? Do you tend to always love a certain style? For me, I have pretty much always loved a very preppy style, but I do love to spice things up every now and again!

Hi lovelies! I am so sorry I have been M.I.A!!! Most of you that follow my blog, know from my last post that we had a surprise in the family, which took me away from my everyday life and responsibilities, while I spent time with family! It was an emotional time, but it was so nice to spend time with family and love on each other! So I appreciate you sticking around and waiting for me to come back. I didn’t even really have a chance to tell you I would be away from the blog for over a week! Well, I have some very exciting things in the works for Fashionably Living and I am excited to share these with you over the next several months! By the way what do you think of my new blouse? I hope you love my magenta stripe Banana Republic shirt as much as I do. I dressed it up a bit by pairing it with a pencil skirt and wearing one of my favorites Jessica Simpson shoes, because you know I love the bows! And of course I draped my neck with pearls, like usual!

Anyways, I hope you week is off to a good start!

XO,

Good Morning lovelies! I hope your week is off to a good start! The weather is beautiful here on the West Coast! We are truly spoiled with this beautiful sunshine! This is the time of the year, I start breaking out all of my dresses. I have talked in the past about how much I love to wear dresses, because I think they are so comfortable, flattering and feminine! I have had this particular dress for a while now. It was my Eater dress a few years ago. I loved the modern floral print and guess what its from Target! I paired it with a belt a shoes from Nordstrom’s, a little high and low styling, is always my fave! Do you all enjoy mixing high and low brands together?

Hi y’all! I hope you had an amazing Easter weekend! I was blessed to spend time with my husbands family in Texas! We had so much fun in Texas! I think I could fit right in there. My weekend was full of eating, visiting, exploring Fort Worth, Easter egg hunts, confetti eggs and so much more! Its nice to be home, but it was truly beautiful and so much fun there! For those of you that have been following my blog for a while, you probably know I love orange and navy, they were my wedding colors! And I also love polka dots! Check out that cute orange leather purse… Easter present from my mama! I just love it! Well, happy Tuesday, I hope everyone’s week is off to a good start!

Happy Monday! I had a fabulous birthday weekend! I did lots of shopping, had amazing food, and spent time with friends and family! I am so blessed and so thankful for another amazing year. I am truly grateful for the people God has placed in my life and how good He is to me day in and day out! Thank you for all the birthday wishes! All of you truly mean the world to me and I am grateful for you too!

Check out my new jewelry, boots, and jeans – all birthday gifts from my mom and hubby! It’s always fun to sport your new stuff, right?!? And I love my vintage Ralph Lauren bag, that my dad bought my mom when I was a little girl, (see how I wore it, here). If I could have the wardrobe of one store, it would definitely be Ralph Lauren!
