All In the Family

This may look like a normal outfit, but really this ensemble is all about my family.  It all started when my bro left for college and left all his shirts.  Like any good sister, I went shopping… in his closet!  This men’s J. Crew button down is literally one of the most comfortable shirts I own.  In the spring and summer it goes with almost every outfit.  To make it a little more feminine for summer, I tied it up.

To keep a lightweight feel to look, I added three chain necklaces which are all meaningful.  I have lived in many different parts of the USA, so my cousin got me this Pennsylvania chain, from Brooklyn Charm, so I’d never forget where I come from.  The faith, hope, and love chain was my Granny’s, and the cross was from my parents.  To celebrate an important day in my life, my mother got me the Prism Light ring by Moonstone Magic. You will rarely see me without it on.  All together, they make the outfit so special.

Lastly, I paired this outfit with a cool pair of blue slacks from H&M and I added some neutral accents including a belt (featuring a cute belt knot to spice it up), bangles from New York & Co. and tan heels from Target (similar here).  It’s a simple outfit with a lot of meaning.

Fun in the Sun

The beach is one of my favorite places to visit.  I’m a complete sucker for the sound of the waves and the warmth of the sun.  As a redhead, being a beach bum poses a problem.  We burn…quickly.  So, I before I head down to the shore, I make sure to pack my sunscreen and a cute coverup.

I have been completely entranced with floral’s this summer.  When I search for a cover up, I have two requirements: 1) it must be a long sleeve, for extra sun protection, and 2) it MUST be lightweight so I don’t sweat to death.  This one from Forever 2 is a light gozzy cotton material that allows air to flow through, so I can enjoy the sun and not get burnt to a crisp! A redheads dream!
