It's definitely summer in Florida, the humidity is through the roof and it rains every afternoon. This day was no exception! If you follow my blog you might have seen this dress on my post last week when I couldn't decide between this dress and the red crochet dress, well spoiler alert, I got them both!
I love the cut out sides and back of this dress and you all know how much I love a maxi dress so I just couldn't pass this dress up. It's so comfy with just the right amount of sexy, it's the perfect day to night maxi. I love pairing cobalt blue with gold so of course I decided to pair this dress with some chunky gold jewelry and some gold espadrille wedges. I normally would have like to played this up with a pair of leopard print shoes or fun gladiator sandals but I decided to class it up a bit for this look. What do you think of the blue cut out dress, was it a good choice?

I love summer. I love the heat, the sunshine, the longer days, pretty much everything about summer I love. I'd appreciate a little less humidity but I know beggars can't be choosers so I'll live with it! I do hate some little things... one of them being how easily my clothes get wrinkled! I seriously ironed this shirt before going out and it was STILL wrinkled by the time I did these pictures. I guess I should have done pictures first instead of doing shopping and other errands but oh well. Lesson learned.
I love the romantic/boho feel of this top so to keep with that feel I decided to pair it with some delicate lace detail shorts and some fun gold accessories. Lately I've been loving anything off the shoulder. I feel like it's such a sexy look without showing off too much skin. Not to mention how great these tops look with jeans, shorts, skirts... pretty much everything!

Lá Fhéile Pádraig Sona Daoibh or Happy St. Patrick's Day!
This is one of my favorite holidays and not just for the drinking. I love how everyone you see is wearing something green, I love Irish food and I'm not going to lie, I love the music and dancing! I usually play the Dropkick Murphys Pandora station ALL day on St. Paddy's Day and I love every second of it! Of course the (green) beer is a plus too, although I usually prefer the cider!
I had such a hard time finding something green this year. I felt like everything was mint green or sea green but I wanted emerald green so I began the hunt to find something that was the "perfect" color. After multiple stores I finally found this maxi skirt at Target (I shouldn't be surprised, I find EVERYTHING at Target!), not only was it the perfect color but it was also a maxi skirt - win for me! This whole outfit, down to my hair, was actually inspired by a co-worker of mine who came out to a bachelorette bar crawl wearing a similar outfit and the exact same hair style last weekend. I loved how casual yet chic it looks so I recreated it to celebrate St. Paddy's day with friends this weekend at Raglan Road. I decided to pair the maxi skirt with a tied off t-shirt from Hollister, a gold circular necklace from H&M that reminded me of a Celtic knot and sandals since walking around at Downtown Disney can be crazy (and it was!). Below is a preview of my St. Patrick's Day celebration, how did you spend yours?
{Me and my favorite girls, some crazy guy decked out in an entire rhinestone Ferrari outfit (stayed tuned, I might have to recreate that one ;) ), green drinks, green shots!}
