"We love to put things together that don't seem to go together, but they do"- Frank Muytjens

While watching a video from J Crew, Frank Muytjens says this is how J Crew puts together outfits, it really stuck with me and inspired me to take risks and try pairing weird things together. While wearing this outfit I accomplished just that. I even got a compliment, the girl said, "I just love you outfit, it doesn't match at all but it goes together perfectly!" Haha. I plan on taking this even further in the future.

Jacob and I went to visit the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks here in Fayetteville, and it is so beautiful. I do recommend going if you are in the area! I loved the bridge pictured above, but there are so many other cool things there. I will definitely go back to take my mom and granny!

Jacob and I are leaving for the beach tomorrow, I'm so excited! Gulf Shores here we come! Meep!

So this is the outfit I wore on Monday while out and about with Jacob. Beautiful weather, sun shining, and not a care in the world. But now, with 5 am work days the weather has changed with my mood!! It's cold and rainy and we are expecting snow tomorrow! How much more crazy can this Arkansas weather be?! I need my 80 degree sunny days back!!! Rain or shine though I am super excited to go to my parents this weekend. I can't wait to see my family I miss them so much!

Jacob and I haven't been up to much, just working and planning our adventures for this summer! (Meep!) I can't wait to escape with him and make more amazing and fun memories! We are definitely hitting up the beach and along with that trip we want to take one somewhere totally different, we have some ideas but do y'all have any suggestions?

 

Dogwood Trees and Houndstooth.

From the moment I saw this skirt on the runway I knew I had to get my hands on it someway somehow. I promised myself that if it wasn't outrageously priced (which I was sure it was going to be) it would be mine! And lucky me, it was a reasonable price! (Well in my eyes, Jacob would definitely disagree though, haha). Anyways, I'm obsessed with it, one of the best purchases I've ever made. And I've already worn it multiple times in multiple different ways. This mixing of floral and hounds-tooth is my favorite though!

Well we are about to watch the season finale of Duck Dynasty. I'm kinda in love with this show and Jase, Phil, and Si.

I've decided to write more about what is going on in mine and Jacob's life on the blog. But this week is floor-set so I have been getting up at 3:30 (ugh!) to be at work at 5:00 (meh!) and we haven't done much of anything when I get home (and Jacob isn't at work) but watch Game of Thrones (we are now obsessed).

We took these pictures last week while out thrifting (found the most amazing gold, sequin maxi skirt), the weather was beautiful but the wind made it chilly so I threw on my old trusty blazer which I thrifted about 5 years ago (still one of my best finds). And you can never go wrong with a nautical blouse and green pants right!?

Hot Pink.

I have a slight obsession with sequin tops these days, and this one is one of my favorites (along with the sequin anchor tank I just got!). It's so fun, cute, and unique! I love it! I thought I would add a little more to this outfit by wearing a chambray top underneath it. 

And I knew I needed these hot pink pants once I saw them on sale at Abercrombie and Fitch! How fun are they? And you can never go wrong with Abercrombie pants, they have the best fit ever. 

Last night we threw Jacob a surprise congratulations dinner (for becoming a 2nd Lieutenant). We had about 30 people show up for him, it was amazing, so much fun, and he was so surprised!! Yay! I am so proud of what he has accomplished and I can't wait to see him get pinned this Saturday. I love you so much baby!

I hope you are all having a wonderful Easter! 

Spring is in the Air.

I'm back!! 

Yesterday was beautiful and really felt like Spring, so I just had to wear my new tulle skirt out on the town with Jacob (yes he is finally back from OCS and now a Second Lieutenant, congratulations baby!) I love this skirt it looks so cute with my plaid shirts and just plain comfy v-necks. Such a cute and girly addition to my closet, I can't wait to wear it again!

And how perfect is my monogram necklace, I love it!? Jacob got it for me for Valentine's Day :). 

I found these cute bracelets on Etsy where you can get your initial and your loved one's initial with a heart (I got "n" and "j" of course!), but they also have other options too! Definitely worth $25, so cute and personal! I urge everyone to go check it out (the link is above).

I plan on posting a lot more because the weather is warming up and my photographer is back! Meep!
