The Perfect Picnic Outfit

Perfect summer days call for picnics. I love getting together with friends and throwing together a little picnic.  It's such a fun and simple way to keep in contact with people over the summer and to create fun memories. For this post I want to show you an outfit that I think is just perfect for picnics, as well as my picnic necessities!



I love putting together outfits that have a nautical vibe to them! This is a breathable outfit, and it is perfect for warm summer days. I adore the contrast between the black and white stripes and the pop of color of these cute Loft shorts give the look. This is an effortless outfit while still looking adorable. It's also super simple to put together with items from your own closet, since they are basic pieces.
My favorite spot to picnic this summer has been down by the riverfront. There are plenty of trees for shade, and there is something so peaceful about sitting near the water! Just make sure to grab some bug spray if you decide to head down since it can get pretty buggy!
What's summer in the Mid-west without watermelon? It's a perfect summer snack, and I always make sure to include it for picnics! Plus, it's national watermelon day- so naturally I just had to mention it!

When I put together a picnic I make a few sandwiches, wash some fruit, grab a bag of chips, throw in some veggies (along with some ranch dressing), and grab a few comfortable blankets. I love spending time catching up with friends, all the while eating some yummy food- bonus!!!

How to Get the Look:
Shirt: Old Navy (Old Purchase), but any black and white striped shirt is perfect!
Shorts: Loft (The pair I am wearing is currently sold out, but Loft still has a few similar pairs that are clearanced!) 
Shoes: Birkenstock
Hat: Target

The Perfect Autumn Cape

Last year I hopped on the cape bandwagon, and I am so glad I did. Similar to blanket scarves, they are just like socially acceptable blankets.  An added bonus is that they are super cute too! I saw a red and black buffalo checked cape in a picture last fall and searched all winter for a look-alike! Finally, a few weeks ago at Walmart, of all places, I spotted this one! I scored it for under $15 and was a happy girl! Here's how I styled it and how you can get the look! I started by layering the cape with a simple white shirt to brighten up the outfit. Between the warmth of the shirt underneath and the cape itself, this look was perfect for a gorgeous fall day. I paired the tops with my go-to American Eagle jeans, to keep the outfit simple and comfortable.   Since I am so short, a lot of material can easily swallow me up and create a very boxy shape. With this in mind, I added a simple tan belt around my waist to give the cape some shape. I was feeling extr...

Thanksgiving Outfit Inspiration

Happy Thanksgiving! There is so much to be thankful for this year. I am so thankful for my loving family and all of the support they show me. I am so thankful for my amazing friends who never fail to make me laugh. I am so thankful for my encouraging church and youth groups. I am so thankful that I have figured out where I want to go to college. I am so thankful for my blog and the opportunities it has brought. Most of all I am so thankful for my salvation through Jesus Christ. The list could go on and on with everything that I have to be thankful for, but I'll leave it with those. With Thanksgiving just days away, I'll be sharing a Thanksgiving look with you today and ways you can duplicate it with pieces from your own closet! Okay, so I am kind of in love with this scarf, I've been wearing it non-stop! It literally goes with anything, and the colors are perfect for fall.

A Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

Ah, fall is finally here and couldn't be happier about it! I love the cooler weather, pretty trees, and fun fall activities. I have to admit though that my favorite aspect of fall is that fact that I get to pull out all of my cozy sweaters and scarves. The fall months are prime time for playing around with layering due to the unpredictable tempatures. My easy go-to outfit for fall consists of a sweater, vest, blanket scarf, jeans, and riding boots. The evening my mom and I went to the pumpkin farm was the definition of a perfect fall evening; 50 degrees, a cool breeze, and sunny. I've linked all of the pieces down below if you are interested in getting the look! This outfit was perfect for finding the perfect pumpkin! It kept me plenty warm while still allowed for me to be able to easily move around! All of the pieces from this outfit are staples of mine. They all can be mixed and matched with so many other outfits to create a totally different look!  I love blan...
