A Little Butterfly






Gap Sweater (similar), New York & Company Jeans (on sale here), Nordstrom Flats (similar), H&M Handbag (similar), Michael Kors Watch (similar), Bracelets: Ily Couture (here) and Luxe Craving (here).


Today, I thought that I would wear this pretty butterfly sweater I purchased at the Gap sometime ago.  When I originally saw the sweater, I loved the coral color of the sweater and gray butterfly on the it, too cute.  However, I decided I would wait a couple of weeks, to see if it would go on sale and it did:)  So I decided to pair my sweater with a pair of skinny jeans, nude flats, a handbag, and gold accessories.

I'm linking up with The Pleated Poppy, Rolled Up Pretty, I Feel Pretty, Because Shanna Said So, and Style Elixir.

Relocating


As some of you know, my family and I are relocating to Maryland and boy has this been a long process, from getting our home show ready, to staying on my toes whenever the phone rings for a showing.  Although, my home has only been on the market for three months now, my husband starts his new job next week.  Since the school year is almost over, we decided that our boys would just finish out the school year, so I'll still be here in Indiana:(

I'm trying to be a happy camper through all of this, but I feel as though God is teaching me to be patient and to continue to rely on Him, so I will.  However, I will also continue to pray that our home sells when the time is right and my husband has a good work week.  Please continue to pray for me and my family during our relocation process.

For my outfit today I decided to wear this sweater I purchased from the Gap not to long ago.  However, when I first saw this sweater I didn't want to pay regular price for it.  So, I decided to wait a couple of weeks and it finally went on sale, and I was able to buy it along with another sweater also:)

So, I paired my sweater with a chambray shirt that I wore underneath it, a pair of skinny jeans, black flats, my Zara handbag, Tom Ford sunnies, and gold & silver accessories.  Also, since it was cold outside today, I wore my Burberry Belted Puffer Coat and Cashmere Scarf:)

A Little Plaid & A Vest






Old Navy Vest (similar), Old Navy Shirt (here), Old Navy Tee Shirt (here), Old Navy Jeans (here), Nordstrom Flats (similar), Target Crossbody (here), Michael Kors Watch (here), ILY COUTURE Bracelet (here).

This week called for 40+ degree weather here in Indiana, so I decided I would wear one of my plaid shirts and sleeveless vest I purchased from Old Navy.  Even though it was a little cool outside, as long as I knew I could run in and out of buildings I was okay without a jacket.  I can't wait until spring, please come soon:)

So, I decided to pair my plaid shirt with a plain white t-shirt underneath, my green cargo vest, a pair of skinny jeans, brown flats, my crossbody bag, and gold accessories.
