I hope all of you babes had a wonderful weekend! This week will be my first full week back to work and I'm not going to lie...I wish the weekend could just last a littleeee longer! 

The first official day of fall is just a few short weeks away, but the weather here has remained in the upper 80's. While I am getting excited to pull out my favorite boots and scarves, you won't find me complaining about the heat...I am a summer girl through and through! This weekend I wore this easy breezy outfit for a dinner date with the husband. It was the perfect casual date night look, especially in the sweltering 90 degree evening!

Taking a There's nothing I love more in the summertime than a white top and denim. Pairing a pretty white top with my best denim ensures that I feel like a million bucks. There is no easier summer combo! Throw on a pair of espadrilles and grab your favorite cross body bag and you've got an easy, effortless summer look. Want to add a fun summer touch? Add a pair of tassel earrings to add a pop of color. 

The moment I saw this off the shoulder top, I was sold. Hello...ruffles!! It's a fun summer piece that can easily be paired with shorts, a skirt or jeans!

Pink Palms

Palm Off the Shoulder Top c/o Purple Door Boutique // Similar White Denim Shorts // Rebecca Minkoff Bag // QUAY Sunnies // Slide Sandals 

Is there any print more perfect for summer than a palm print? I've been palm obsessed for awhile now, so the second I saw this sweet palm top from The Purple Door Boutique, I was sold. This flirty little number is made with the breeziest fabric making it perfect for the summertime heat! It's the prettiest combo of pale pink and green, which I love (because of the sun it's coming off more white!). I've worn this cutie with white denim shorts (as seen here!) and distressed denim, but plan on wearing it this weekend with a white skirt. If you are as palm print obsessed as I am, you will want to check out this gorgeous maxi (in the same print as my top!) and this fun little dress. I want to pack both for a vacation to the beach ASAP!

Happy Monday friends!

Today is my last day with my sweet firsties! I am excited to start my summer vacation, but I'm definitely going to miss this group of kiddos. It's so bittersweet saying goodbye! Year after year I always think it will get a little easier, but it never does. After spending 180 days with these cuties, they definitely leave an imprint on your heart! 

With summer break comes more time to spend on the blog! I am finally done with my procert too and am going to be able to devote more time to my posts! I am excited to get back to a more normal blogging schedule!! 

Gingham has been EVERYWHERE recently and I am loving it! The moment I saw this top, I knew it would be the perfect piece of gingham to add to my summer wardrobe! Off the shoulder, ruffles and gingham?? Sold! 

Easy Summer Style

 OTS Ruffle Top c/o Antique Garden // Distressed Denim Shorts (under $50) // Taudrey Necklace // Slide Sandals // Rebecca Minkoff Bag // Hat

Can you believe it's already June?!? The past few months have flown by!! Isn't that always how it is when you have a ton of things to accomplish in a short amount of time? The next week and a half will be a little crazy for me as I finish the school year. I've got report cards to do, I will be moving classrooms and I will be completing my pro-cert. WHEW. I am so excited for my summer break to start!

Speaking of summer break, I'm sharing one of my go to summer combos. I wore this exact outfit in Mexico, and knew it would be on repeat all summer long. I actually took photos of it IN Mexico, but they didn't turn out due to the humidity. We don't have that problem here, and I never realized that it would cause your lens to fog up! What do those of you that deal with this do when this happens?! 

This top from Antique Garden is a summer must have! I love the color and the ruffle at the top. The best part is the slightly cropped fit, making it perfect for pairing with high-waisted denim! This is an easy outfit to throw on while running errands or enjoying the sunshine!!
