Hi everyone! In today’s Monday Must-Have post I’m talking about one of my most worn pair of shoes that is currently in my closet, my white Converse. These cute little sneakers are so comfortable and so versatile, you can wear them with just about anything. I have the low top and the high top versions. And being a former (still weird to say) college student, I wore these sneakers all the time. The best part is, when they get dirty, as most white shoes do, you can just toss them right in the washer and they come out looking brand new!

This outfit is one of my favorite go-to looks for just running around town. Leggings and chambray are such a classic and chic look. It’s always what I end up wearing if nothing else seems to be working that day. This look would even be a great outfit for work if you dressed it up with some jewelry and heels! What are some of your most loved shoes?!

XO, Katie

Sun’s Out, Shoulder’s Out
May 18, 2016

 

DSC_0067edit DSC_0365editDSC_0526 I’m so thrilled to finally see the sun shining again, and I thought it would be the perfect day to bust out my first off the shoulder top! I’ve been going back and forth with my opinions on this trend for awhile now, but then J.Crew came out with one and I decided it was time to give it a shot. I loved the bright yellow color, which is a color I don’t have much of, and thought the style looked like it would be really cute. I wound up loving this top so much, it’s so fun for the warmer weather and is good way to mix it up!

I also found my adorable tassel sandals at Target a few days ago, and I’m super excited to wear them this summer! I’ve seen a lot of designer versions of these but until I start my job in September I have to watch my budget, so all of those were out of reach. Then I saw these for only $27.99 and instantly put them in my cart. I’ve linked them so you can find them as well. What do you guys think of the off the shoulder trend?

XO, Katie

Monday Must-Haves: Great Jeans
May 16, 2016

DSC_0017edit DSC_0038 (1) DSC_0228editThis weekend was filled with so many emotions for me as Jason & I graduated from KU with our Master’s in Accounting. This brings the end of a four year journey, and it’s definitely bittersweet. I have so many wonderful memories here, and it’s hard to say goodbye but I know there are lots of great things to look forward to now that we’re out in the “real world”. It was amazing to have all of our friends and families with us all weekend to celebrate, we are so very blessed to be surrounded by so much love.

For today’s Monday Must-Have I’m talking about jeans, great jeans in fact. I think there is huge value in having one pair of high quality denim in your wardrobe. The jeans I’m wearing in this post are Paige Denim, and they are the best pair of jeans I’ve ever owned. They’re soft, comfortable (seriously, almost as comfy as leggings) and super flattering. I think that high quality denim like these jeans, look much more polished and dressier than some of the other denim out there. Especially for those of us who work in office settings with casual Friday’s, it’s nice to have some beautiful denim to pull out of the closet!

P.S. The Hunter boots in this post were a incredibly thoughtful graduation present from my very close friends so they deserve a special thank you for being so awesome!

Little Black Romper
May 11, 2016

DSC_0001edit

Today I’m sharing my latest favorite piece from the Who What Wear collection at Target. I’ve been searching for the perfect black romper for awhile now, and I think I found it! I love the bell sleeves, and the cute tie on the side. It’s a great piece to have in your summer wardrobe to throw on for an easy, casual and chic look. I think this romper would look great with some brightly colored strappy sandals, so now I’m on the hunt for those (let me know if any of you guys have suggestions on some cute ones)!

XO, Katie

P.S. If you’re looking for this romper, I wasn’t able to link it up directly, but you can check your local Target to see if they’re carrying this item (it comes in a couple of prints)!

Monday Must-Haves: Navy Gingham
May 9, 2016

DSC_0422edit DSC_0448edit DSC_0531edit

Happy Monday! Today I’m introducing a new series of posts, Must-Have Mondays. This series will showcase what I consider to be absolute must have’s in your closet in order to build a really solid basic wardrobe. Building a basic wardrobe is something I’ve been working on for the last few years, and it’s so important so I’ve decided to share it with those of you out there who might be looking to do the same thing. It can be a little overwhelming, especially when trying to transition your college wardrobe into one fit for the working world. If you tackle it one piece at a time, I think it’s much more manageable! Then once you have all your basics, you can take on more trendy and seasonal pieces.

One of my favorite basics in my closet is my navy gingham button down. While this button down comes in a ton of colors, the navy is definitely my favorite. I have worn this top in so many ways, I couldn’t even begin to count them out. It’s great for layering under absolutely anything. This shirt can be dressed up for work with a pencil skirt and statement necklace or just thrown on with some bright colored shorts for an easy go-to summer look.  This shirt is my favorite thing to pull out when I’m just having bad luck picking out an outfit, because it never lets me down!

Also, I do have to sidebar a little and note my new umbrella. I saw it on J.Crew’s website and fell in love instantly, gold polka dots?! How perfect! I bought it instantly and had to show it off in today’s post since it’s been so rainy the past couple of days.

How do you guys where your navy gingham? Comment below!

XO, Katie
