For my grandma

Today would've been my grandma's birthday and as part of DYBW I wanted to honor my heritage and specifically my grandma, with this outfit. The bracelet is one of her pearl necklaces I wrapped twice. I wore my seashell necklace because I got it on a trip to Virginia Beach and my grandma loved to travel. My grandma always called me her little ballerina (even though my parents could never afford for me to actually go to ballet classes) so anytime I see any ballet things, I automatically think of her. This is one of my favorite shirts because of that, and all the colors. I feel like grandma would've appreciated the skirt and the wedges as well. I miss her a lot but I feel like I'm carrying a piece of her with me today.


The tee came from Old Navy, the skirt from Fashion Bug, the tanks from DEB, the shoes from Clothing Warehouse and the cardigan from KMart.

Window to the soul

Today I wanted to accent my eyes. I think purple brings out the green and brown in my eyes better than any other color. What do you think? I love pink and purple together so much! It reminds me of My Little Ponies. The jeans are from Old Navy, the shoes are from the Clothing Warehouse, the cardigan is from Gap, and the shirt is from KMart. It's actually a dress but it's not nearly modest enough for my liking! I'm super excited for tomorrow's outfit. I'll be honoring my grandma who passed away 9 years ago on Tuesday. Tomorrow would have been her birthday though and I find it much more fitting to celebrate her day of birth than the day she left us.

When I see you smile

This week has been a bit too hectic to participate in dress your best week completely for me. One of the things I wanted to focus on this week was my smile. I asked my boyfriend for help on picking my five best features and he named my smile because it's "infectious". I've heard that a lot in the past, so I decided he probably wasn't making it up. :) Ironically I didn't get any of my more charming smiles in the pictures but I decided to accent it by wearing bright earrings and a bright shirt which to me, accent my cheery demeanor. How would you accent your smile?

Nothing too exciting

I haven't worn anything too exciting the past couple days because I've mostly been in my scrubs. These pictures are from Friday when Joe and I had one of the most awesome days ever. We started our afternoon with a picnic with out friends Kait and Jut, and their baby girl (my goddaughter!) Lily. Joe and I then ventured on to the toy store, the park, the elementary school playground. I wanted something comfy that I didn't mind getting dirty. The capris are from DEB, the tank was thrifted, the tee from Maurices and the flip flops were from Old Navy... Oh and my shades are from Rue 21! This is the best whole outfit pic I have... Joe happened to find this sight too funny not to take a pic!

I'm pretty sure we need these hats!
