This is the last of the "honeymoon dinner" outfits (see others here: 1, 2, 3, 4) I've been posting over the last couple weeks. It was fun dressing up every night after lounging by the pool & beach everyday. Those polka dot shorts are the most comfortable pair of shorts I own! Also, this outfit totally channels my wedding colors, peach & mint!

style tip || Another way to style a statement necklace is to wear it around the collar of a blouse buttoned all the way to the top - this creates a classic, clean look & really puts the focus on the statement necklace.

style tip || Balancing athletic & feminine throughout a look can provide a nice contrast - in the look above, the shorts & watch bring the "athletic" element & the sheer blouse, necklace & heels balance out the "feminine" element.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a blessed weekend!

Being from Oklahoma City, Thunder basketball is a big deal! People give me a hard time for being a Thunder fan because I'll cheer for the Lakers/Kobe Bryant whenever they play against them (I had to cheer for someone before OKC got an NBA team, right???). Any other time though, I'm Thunder all the way! Needless to say, Thunder blue & orange inspired this outfit! The skirt is one of my absolute favorites - I love the tribal pattern which is definitely on trend for this summer, as well as the bright royal blue color! You'll recognize the cuff & clutch from an earlier post this week. Having accessories that I could use repeatedly during the trip made for easier packing and outfit coordination!

Have a lovely Thursday! Feel free to share your feedback & follow this blog if you aren't already! Thanks for stopping by! :)

The "little red dress" -- arguably just as versatile as the "little black or white dress." I remember paying around $12 for this one at Forever 21 probably a year ago. I love the overall fit and where the neckline and hemline hit (both feminine and modest!). The accessories I incorporated into this look - specifically the white clutch and the blue cuff - will be making several appearances in upcoming posts. I never realized how versatile they were until I started planning outfits for the honeymoon!

{side note} I can't believe it's been almost two months since my last post - to say life has flown by since the wedding is an understatement! I'm looking forward to getting back into a blogging routine though! Stay tuned for new posts all week!

"Happy Monday" and thanks so much for stopping by!
