Due to my lack of planning and preparation, this blog post is coming to you a day late. This past week, I was running around like a crazy lady prepping for vacation. Nothing like waiting until the last minute possible to run errands, right? I know I am not the only one who operates this way. Each time around this year my husband and I sneak away from work and get on an airplane. We trade our work shoes for flip flops and call the beach home for a week. Friday we landed in Costa Rica!

Thursday afternoon I rushed to the dry cleaners to pick up my order. One of the items, this great skirt! I packed this outfit for one of our date nights. It seriously breaks my heart that this skirt is sold out. I ordered it this spring, and it also came in a beautiful white option. In this season of life, I love the length of it. I can dress it up for the office and down for weekend brunch with my gal pals.

Right now, this tulip sleeve tee is sold out in white. However, there are two great options: deep garnet and whisper white. I think that this tee is on the dressier side because of the sleeve details. I could see it working for a casual Friday or paired with black slacks for a little more business casual. If you were to ever look into my closet, you would see a million of these type of tees in my closet. I think that it's all about how you accessories and pair plain tees with items to dress it up a notch. Right now, this tee is on sale for $35 (and an extra 40% off).

Let's take a moment to talk about this necklace. It was on my wishlist for months. I patiently waited until it went on clearance! It is even more beautiful in person. Right now, there is a summer option that was just released. It's on the pricey side, but my goodness is it beautiful! It still has a navy theme and gorgeous colors that you could match with multiple items in your closet. Who knows, it may even inspire you to match unexpected colors together. It is definitely on my must-watch list for now.

This handbag has been in my life for four years. On the way home from our honeymoon, we stopped in Dallas at the outlet mall. I knew that this purse had to come back with me. This bright and bold color has been one of my favorites for a while now. I have carried this bag each spring for four years now, and I must say, it still looks pretty good. I love high-quality products (just hate the price tag).
