Five on Friday

Friday, February 5, 2016

I am so glad the weekend is finally here!! We didn't have a rough week, by any means, but I've just been SO TIRED this week (don't worry, I'm not pregnant). I think it's attributed to the fact that a lot of people at work are either in training or traveling and it's so quiet! Staring at a screen all day really does a number on you and the hour commute each way doesn't help either... so cheers to the weekend!

One
I'm so excited because my parents are coming to town today!! My dad had a business trip in Miami this week so they're stopping by our house for the weekend on their way back to TN. Can't wait to see them again and show them all the updates to the house!

On Monday, I mentioned that we were between two styles of chairs for our living room. We bit the bullet and bought this one!! We are so excited to get them in the living room but it'll be about a month before they're delivered - boo! So glad we finally settled on chairs that we both liked :)

Three
My parents got me some Hunter boots for Christmas and my mom threw in some adorable boot socks from Old Navy and Francesca's. I've been wanting to wear the boot socks but I quickly realized they look so weird (at least on me) with jeans so I've decided I'll try them with a dress. Well, I realized I didn't have any good dresses that matched and set out to find a swing dress to go with my green Hunter's and beige colored socks. I found an adorable navy dress (this one is similar, of course they don't have the one I got online) that doesn't make me look like I'm wearing a potato sack while not being clingy and showing off all my cellulite. I'm hoping to get some wear out of it this weekend, especially before it get's hot. [This one is fantastic for spring/summer!]

Going for a look kind of like this

While hunting for said dress above, I stumbled upon these amazing rompers from Old Navy. How adorable are they for spring/summer!? Love that the navy one has a small gingham print on it. I'm getting super excited for spring now (I won't mention that we're supposed to get a cold front and the temps will be around the 30s... in FL)!


Five
One last fashion-related item - Target recently released their Who What Wear collection and I have to admit, I have no clue what this is; is it a designer? is it just the name is fun? I'm totally missing the point but I'm loving some of their pieces! I really like this pencil skit, this birdcage skirt would be adorable with a black top and heels and the matching top is so sophisticated.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

  3. Hi Ashley! Love reading your blog - next time it is cooler in Florida (if it happens haha) try your hunter boots with the boot socks with leggings and a longer top or even the dress you posted - I like wearing the boot socks best with leggings and a long top :) It works up here in Michigan although it might be too hot already in Florida!

    1. Thanks Rachael!! I'm so glad you enjoy the blog! That's a great idea to try boot socks with leggings! It's supposed to be freezing next week (too bad I can't wear them to work ;)) Hope y'all are doing well in MI and are staying warm! Seems like y'all are really enjoying it and Cooper is loving the snow :)
