Today I just want to take a minute out to send my thoughts and prayers to the folks in Oklahoma. I plan on making a donation to the Red Cross to help support relief efforts, and I hope that all of you out there will do the same. My heart is breaking for all of those affected by this tragedy and you are definitely in my prayers.

Summertime here in New Orleans can be brutally hot, and we’re already starting to feel the heat. On a little day outing last week, I decided to keep it cool in this Urban Outfitters cut-out dress along with my favorite summer hat. I’ve had this hat for several years now, and it’s definitely one item I’d recommend you purchase for the summer and spring time. Perfect for festivals, warm days spent outdoors, and bad hair days. In the thick of summer I’m literally pulling it out every weekend to wear! My cut-out dress was an impulse buy from Urban Outfitters last summer, but it has definitely proved its worth in my summer wardrobe. If only more of my impulse purchases turned out as great as this one…the world would be a much better place. No more buyer’s remorse. I’ve been known to have a bout of it every once and again! Happy Monday everyone!

Sometimes more is better than less, because if you have more of less…you might want to have some more of something and your parents just won’t let you. We want more, we want more. Bonus points if you know what commercial those lines come from!
In my opinion when it comes to accessories – more is definitely better than less. The number of pairs of shoes a girl owns – more, more, more please. But sometimes for your outfits more isn’t always better then less. What I mean is – there’s alot to be said for classic simplicity when getting dressed and also in our wardrobes. Certain classics – in my case these Gap wide legged pants, and Tory Burch sweater take the guesswork out of figuring out what in the heck to wear some mornings! They also can be worn time and time again and I’m all about the cost per wear factor my friends.
I love my trendy pieces just as much as the next gal, but sometimes all it takes is a classic sweater in a fun color, always wearable wedges, and classic pants to get your Monday going. Oh, and I was told my ensemble was very Jackie Kennedy like – I’ll take it.
