Jered and I have been married for a little over four years now. As cliché as it sounds, time does really fly by when you have fun! There were some tasks in wedding planning that were more enjoyable than others. Yet when it came to picking out the colors for our special day, I didn't have any hesitation. I love orange, pink, and Tiffany & Co. blue. I know it sounds odd, but it actually works when they are together. I don't think I ever shared any of our wedding photos with y'all. I will have to do a blog post about that sometime soon.

This summer has been filled with Oklahoma weddings, some indoor and the others outdoors. When I was looking for dresses this spring, this particular style made me glow with excitement. When I saw it online, it just screamed: "take me home." The color pairing of this dress reminds me of my wedding day and the bow detail gives me major heart eyes. If orange is not your thing, check out the vivid clover option. At the moment, both of these dresses are on sale. There are not many sizes left online, you might have better luck at your local store. When shopping online, I usually order my normal size within that company. I found that this dress ran large, so I returned it and ordered one size smaller. During the summer, I try to find dresses that are made out of cotton and machine washer friendly. Those two things make life a million times easier!

The statement flower necklace I am wearing in these photos is sold out, I found it at J.Crew Factory earlier this spring. However, there is a similar style still available and it comes in three different colors (fuchsia blossom, soft blossom and frosty sky). I am also wearing those darn CZ studs from Francesca's. It is safe to say I got my money worth on these bad boys, I probably wear them once a week if I am being completely honest with you. One time a co-worker thought they were real diamonds. I wanted to say, “sure they are real diamonds and you can call me Kim K.”

Let me introduce you to a party in a pouch! This pomaliscious party pouch from Packed Party is an instant conversation starter. Pom-poms are having a major moment, as we all know. Maybe I am 100% extra, but I do not care. I will shout it from the rooftops, I LOVE pom-poms! This little thing can fit whatever you need. Honestly, if I am carrying a large purse, you can bet there are at least two pouches in my bag keeping things nice and organized. Heck, my lipstick alone needs its own zip code (sad but true). Messy things stress me out! If you have a BFF that is team pom-poms, order this now and surprise her later.

I have exciting news! I have teamed up with two other bloggers (Basically Joy and The Cocooners) for a giveaway. One lucky winner will take home a $60 Target gift card and a $15 Starbucks gift card! If you would not mind, please tell your friends to enter. The more the merrier! Thank you so much for following along my blogging journey. Your support and encouragement is what keeps me typing!
