Hello! The past few days have been super busy around here but Adrian is back from his business trip (no more single parenting, yay!), Spring Break is over, and the kids are back in school! I went to my first concert in months last weekend and stayed out wayyy too late for this grandma. This week has kicked off with two days of jury duty but fingers crossed that I get the rest of the week back so I can get back on my regular schedule again! Spring is officially here and I’ve been living in playful velvet pleated skirts lately and tops with fun details. Bows always draw me in and I fell in love with this sweater with its exaggerated bow — it’s such a cute addition and gives the whole look a more lighthearted feel. The sweater itself is made of a neoprene-like fabric and has a nice structure to it that makes it a versatile option for a dressier outfit that can go from the office to after hours with friends or co-workers!
Velvet has also been a trend that’s been making a statement and I just fell in love with this velvet pleated skirt! The velvet makes it luxe while the contrasting black waistband gives it a bit of edge. The length is perfect even for petites and I just love the swish and movement of pleats. At under $30, this skirt is such a great piece for Spring and comes in 5 colors too!
Meanwhile, my apologies that the photos here are a bit blurry. I had left my usual camera lens at home and switched to another one that I didn’t realize was having focus issues. Gotta make a trip to the camera shop this week to get things fixed!
Have a great first day of spring and I hope you have a great week!

Girl this look is everything. I will need to check out the velvet skirt. Thank God that your hubby is back and I wish you luck on your jury’s duty. The pictures look great on my phone. Do you take your pictures by yourself?

Absolutely adore the pastel toned outfit, great transition into spring. Bow detailing grabs my attention as well, obsessed with your jumper, love the fact it can be dressed up or down depending on occasion. Beautiful style dear.
