June Favorite Looks

If you follow me on Instagram (and if you aren't you should! @BethieTheBoo) you may have noticed that I have done a couple of style challenges this month.  I love following along with these, especially ones that are a little more general, because they help provide me inspiration to help with mixing my closet a little better.  One of the challenges I did was a Dress Week Challenge and the other was a cute one that was themed after Rolling Stones songs - Rad Moves Like Jagger.  I thought I'd share some of my favorites from the month today.

 Dress - Target, Sweater - Camy Couture

Sandals - Target, Necklace - Stella and Dot

 Shirt - Stitch Fix, Pants - Mossimo (Target)

Bag - Stitch Fix, Sandals - Marshalls, Necklace - Lia Sophia

 Shirt and bag - Stitch Fix, Skirt - Gap (thrifted), Necklace - Stella and Dot

Sandals - Target, Bracelet - Nine West (gift from MN Blogger Bash)

Dress and bag - Stitch Fix, Necklace - Stella and Dot, Sandals - Target
Lots of color this month, lots of skirts and dresses, and you can see I am pretty much still in love with this Urban Expressions bag from my April Stitch Fix.  I carry a different bag for a few days here or there and I keep coming back to this one!  I haven't had a crush this hard core on one of my clothing items in quite some time!  Which look is your favorite?

Your Spring Style - Spring Celebrations

It's the last week of the Your Spring Style link up with Shea and Anne.  This week is all about spring celebrations - outfits we'd wear to spring weddings, graduations, parties, etc.  Sadly, we have no major celebrations this spring other than our own anniversary later in May.  That's ok though, I still pulled together a look I'd wear to a celebration.

I went a little more laid back on this one.  I think a maxi dress with a nice denim top or denim jacket makes a fun look for an outdoor gathering or barbecue.  I'd also wear something like this to dinner with Nate for our anniversary.  I like it because it looks nice but is so dang comfortable!  I'm a big fan of maxi dresses for their comfort!

Denim shirt - Old Navy, Maxi dress - Stitch Fix

Bag - Stitch Fix, Jewelry - Stella and Dot

Sandals - Target 

This overall look even feels a bit nautical - I suppose it's the stripes and the fact that while you can't see super well in the pictures, this shirt has little anchors all over it.  Maybe I need to go to a celebration on a boat!

Below here I thought I'd share an up close picture of my arm party - I love layering lots of bracelets in the spring and summer, my arm has a celebration every day!

It sounds as if next spring and summer we'll have a lot more celebrations - I have heard of at least three weddings coming up in our families and I'm sure in addition to the weddings there will also be showers.  So, hopefully this stuff is all still in style next year and I'll be all set!
Do you have any celebrations coming up?  What would you wear to a spring celebration?  And be sure to check out Anne and Shea's blogs for other spring styles!  Thanks to the both of them for a fun link up this month!

Thrift Style Thursday: Dainty

For Thrift Style Thursday today, the theme is "Delightfully Dainty."  I chose two pieces I've actually featured in previous Thrift Style Thursday posts - I just love them each so darn much!!  I stole this outfit idea from Frannie Pantz - I saw her put two similar pieces together and I realized, I could make the same outfit and it would be really cute!

 Shirt - J Crew (thrifted), Skirt - Wet Seal (thrifted)

Necklace - Stella and Dot, Shoes - Duck Head (from mom)

I can't get enough of this lace and tulle black skirt.  It is flirty and feminine and fun.  I figured that qualified as "dainty."  Also I love this J Crew striped top I thrifted - little details like the zipper on the back are just so fun!  It doesn't hurt that it's one of my favorite colors too, you can't beat coral!

I am pretty much a girly girl, I can't help but love all things lace and ruffles and frill!  It's funny though - as a mom to a boy I am finding I really actually appreciate boy clothes - it's so easy to put stuff together for him in the morning.  I think I'd actually stress more if I had a girl!  Not to mention, boy clothes are actually kind of cute - but definitely not dainty!!

Anniversary Style and Vacay!

Hello and happy Friday!  Today I am not actually at work.  I'm off to get ready for our big trip - I can't believe it's finally here.  We've been planning it since Oliver was born and at the time, June seemed sooooo far away - and now almost six months later, here we are.  Which means we will have a six month old in the house - say what?  I'll have his usual monthly recap up next week along with some other posts I've pre-scheduled, so hopefully you all won't miss me too much!

In the meantime, I thought I'd round out the week here by sharing my anniversary outfit from Tuesday.  I wore it to work all day, but I picked it out specially because the Pants Monkey loved it when I put it on for him when we went thrift shopping on Mother's Day.  

I love it too, the color of this shirt is too much fun.  I had been looking for a black lace skirt for awhile too, so I'm so happy to have one now!  This entire look may have been a tad bit too much for work maybe, but I guess maybe I was just giving off the hot secretary vibe?

Shirt - Express (thrifted), Skirt - Wet Seal (thrifted)
Bag - Tiganello (thrifted), Shoes - from cousin

I look forward to styling both of these pieces in other ways, but I had to wear them together for my wonderful hubby!  Speaking of my wonderful hubby - I mentioned that he and Ollie gifted me a spa day for Mother's Day - well I'm kicking my vacay off with a bang and using that today.  Get myself all relaxed before we head out of town (though maybe it would be better used after we get back, ha, but I wanted that mani/pedi now!)  I hope you all have a great week - I might not get around to your blogs, but as I said, there will still be some posts up here during the week.  I'll be Instagramming our journey as well, so feel free to follow along there!
