{OOTD} My Real Recital Outfit

Happy Monday!

I hope you all had great weekends!  So as most of you know, I had our little cousin's dance recital Saturday night.  I wish I could have worn this outfit, but I ended up wearing this little number instead:

I just recently bought this maxi dress...I LOVE how long it is and I LOVE the tie-die!  I can wear it with my highest of high wedges and there is still room to spare...I'm about 5'6" so you know it's a little longer than usual.  But I just majorly heart this dress!

Dress: Spy-C
Jean Jacket-Gap
Wedges-Banana Repulic
Jewelry-Amy

Here's a side shot.

One last look!

We had a great, relaxing weekend!  Yesterday was our cousin's First Communion which was very special.  Friday night, Hubs and I saw "Bridesmaids"...which I highly recommend...it's much more heartfelt than I expected.  And I'm sure the bar has been lifted for any future wedding shower gift...here's a little hint:

Just imagine a pink beret on this little guy!  :)

So what did you do this weekend??  Please share!

Friday Fancy::R&R's Dance Recital

Happy Friday Friends!

I'm always so happy when it's Friday and I have the weekend to look forward to!  What's especially nice about this weekend is that we're home and it's just us two...which means I get to play some catch up around the house and in blogland!  :)

We do have a Hubby's cute cousin's dance recital {try saying that 3x fast!} to attend on Saturday night, so naturally, I am linking up to Friday Fancies today!

Hubby and I go to R&R's dance recital every year...they are SO cute and it's a blast to watch them have fun on stage and improve every year. 

A fun fact about this particular dance recital is that it is held in a casino...where adult beverages are served!  Fun stuff!  And since it's at night on a Saturday, we definitely get to dress up, which is always fun!

I based this outfit on this lovely Twenty 8 Twelve silk skirt...love the vibrant colors...what a show stopper huh?  The top is a simple tee, which helps the outfit become more casual.

I am also MAJORLY obsessed with these DVF wedges...I saw them in black, but fancy this color too!  I paired them with this neutral clutch and some fun jewelery...especially loving the Kendra Scott necklace.  Gorgeous!

Also, I am super excited to be posting over at a A Dose of Pretty where I am sharing my fashion files today!  Here's a sneak peak:

Any fun plans this weekend?  Hope it's a great one!

This also seems like a perfect time to Pay it Forward!  The lovely Cheryl, from Nap Time is the New Happy Hour, passed this along to me.  Paying it forward is an opportunity to support each other and celebrate the reason we're all so connected!  I wanted to use this as an opportunity to recognize some new blogs I've come across and who have shown me a great deal of love lately!

Last, a special thank you to Kara at A Little Bit of Lovely for passing the "Versatile Blogger Award" along to me!  It made my day!!!  To see my 7 Things, go here.

Feel free to pay it forward and make someone's day!

So Apparently I Have a Thing For...

SCARVES!!!

Yes I just LOVE them!  Wide or skinny, long or circular, bright or muted, warm or light...I just can't get enough of scarves!  You might think it's because I live in a colder climate, but I still love wearing them in the spring and summer too!  They're the perfect accessory!

 Surprisingly, for me, I have a lot of creams and pinks! 

 This section probably gets the least wear because of how BOLD all the colors are...though they make a great statement when I do wear them!

I do love greens and neons right now though!

Ahhhh, my favorite part of the bunch...the neutrals.  It's definitely important to have scarves for all seasons...I have cashmere, wool, cotton, and everything in between.

The best thing about scarves?  There are SO many ways to wear them!  What's your favorite way?

I personally like to wear them like this!

And this picture reminds me that I want to buy a tie-die scarf next...though, probably in a more muted color...kind of like this!  :)

PS...it's been snowing here the last 3 days...where is SPRING???  No wonder I have scarves on the mind!
