Wonder snake skin skinny bangle; Stuart Weitzman nude strappy heels

Buttoned up shirts tied over colorful dresses — it’s kind of my jam and you’re gonna be seeing a lot of this combo over the summer.  It’s a quick and easy way to spice up a dress and quadruple your wardrobe options.  And if you’re always in a rush to run out the door like me, this is the kind of outfit that will let you snooze for those extra ten minutes.  Happy Monday peeps!

I never really liked the phrase, “Working for the weekend,” but it’s kind of the story of my life right now.  My weeks are jam packed with work, events and errands, but when Friday finally rolls around, I make sure to savor every free moment.  So I thought I’d start a new series on the blog and ring in the weekend with casual/cool outfits that scream TGIF. Cheers!
