When I went to take blog photos with Ana (yes, she's still killing the photography game)...we came across this stage with a giant American flag painted on it and obviously had to use it. I realized it was only right that this outfit wait to be posted until today. With that being said, Happy Memorial Day. Today is a day to remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country. A huge thank you to all of the men and women who have served, are currently serving, and will serve to protect each and every one of us. Freedom isn't free and I'm extremely grateful for those who make the choice to stand up and fight for it. 

Now, onto the outfit. I have been loving the hat trend recently. I think it's such a fun, carefree touch....and can be extremely helpful on bad hair days ;) I picked this tan one up at Target a while back. It's felt material and has a pretty large brim. I wanted to tie in the black trim from the hat so I went with black jeans for this look. This pair is from Charlotte Russe (got these recently so they should still be there if you're interested!) and have a little bit of distressing. I added this gauzy white top with a little cut out design, also from CR. This top is so breezy and easy to pair with just about anything. To finish the look, I added my brown lace up wedges.

I'm all about taking risks when it comes to fashion...and that's where these shoes come in. Cheetah loafers with bright orange soles- how fun, right?! I picked these shoes up from Gabe's last week for six bucks (which made taking a risk much easier). Obviously, they're kind of out there, so I wanted to dull down the rest of the outfit. I threw on this black v neck tee and boyfriend jeans from Target. I love the way boyfriend jeans look with loafer type shoes...and this outfit was no exception. 

Don't be afraid to take a risk!

PS: As usual, Ana killed it with the photos again. Best photographer I know :)

Don't hate me...but here comes another boho look (I just can't help it). I recently picked up this shirt for 10 bucks from Gabe's and had to style it right away. I absolutely love the flowy open back and cut out shoulders. It's such a relaxed, easy top that I wanted to keep the rest of the look pretty low key but still dainty and feminine. I threw on some ripped jean shorts and these rust/tan colored booties I got from Charlotte Russe years ago. I adore how simple, but pretty this look turned out.

And again, I have to credit my girl Ana for these photos. She's incredible (and so fun to work with)! 

Find a unique piece you love and plan your whole outfit around it :)

I had to take a break from boho style to work with all my city slickers today and I'm really happy I did! I paired this simple, midi length pencil skirt from Forever 21 with this graphic tank to give it a little 'edge' . Tucked in the shirt bunched up and left out it made me look like a pillow case, so I pulled it up and knotted it at the side to avoid chopping up the body too much. I added the same coin collar necklace from my other recent post (I just can't get enough of it) and black booties to finish it off. 

Ana killed the photography game...again!

Like I mentioned in my last post, I've been loving the boho vibes lately. One of the things I love most about the bohemian style is how fun the accessories can be! I have seen tons of coin collar necklaces from just about every place you can imagine and have always wanted one. Between high prices and it just not being "the one," I hadn't bit the bullet. Then, I found this one...on amazon...for 13 dollars. Yep, you read that right. It was exactly what I was looking for and I couldn't be more pleased with it. It's the perfect boho addition to any look. For this outfit I paired it with these super distressed jeans from Charlotte Russe and tan, open toed wedges. I threw on a simple, white, relaxed button up from Wal-Mart (yep...Wal-Mart) to avoid over kill with everything else going on. 

And again...Ana kills it with the photos. I'm telling you, she's your girl for any occasion you need pictures for!

Don't be shy to step out of your comfort zone and try new styles!

With the warm Spring weather (finally) arriving, I've been having fun putting some outfits together. I've noticed recently that I've been leaning more to the boho side of things. Loose fitting, comfy, feminine outfits seem to be my go-to lately. It's just so effortless- like this dress. It's a simple off the shoulder white dress. It's so easy, but makes you look like you put in way more effort than you actually did (tricky). This particular dress was ordered off of Amazon last year sometime, but they have these everywhere now a days. I paired it with these strappy tan wedges that I picked up on clearance at South Moon Under a while back. I added a DIY gold chain head piece and walked out of the door. 

Now, let's talk about these pictures real quick! AH! My friend Ana is a fabulous photographer in the area and was able to work me into her busy schedule to snap some pictures. You can see for yourself, but I'm not lying when I say she's incredible. If any of you are in my area and looking for a photographer- let me know and I can pass along her information! 

BIG THANKS to Ana! Now get out and enjoy the weather.

xoxo Katie
