Black, White and Red All Over

My Little Bee by Minipop on Grooveshark

Sunday was a fun day for our little family. We packed up Mike's truck and headed down to my parents' house for a day of relaxing and hanging out. Toby played hard. He was all about my stepdad's huge lawn mower, helping fill up the bird feeder, and playing ball. I was pretty much wiped out from just watching him. We visited with my Nana and all went out to eat at the local Mexican restaurant I used to frequent in high school. My mom also gave me a bunch of flower bulbs and strawberry plants for my garden! Mike spent a good portion of yesterday planting them and doing various chores around the yard. I stayed in for a bit to wrap up some design work and then we all went to Franklin for the evening. Not a bad way to spend the past 36 hours I guess!
This outfit is about as simple as it gets. From style to color palette. I love this dress and I've worn it quite a bit since picking it up at Marshall's. It's American Eagle but I was able to pick it up for only $9! It warmed back up here in Nashville so I actually wore this dress sans tights yesterday. For the day pictured I paired it with a Forever 21 cardigan, thrifted purse (I cut the strap off), and my new black spiky loafers! I think they help give it an ~edgier vibe, but whatever. (These shoes come in a handful of different colors if you want to check them out! Also here!) I'm thinking the red might be a fun addition to my wardrobe, too! 
Today we're having an important visitor over at our house, and then Mike and I are going to try and finish up our flowerbeds. Then we're going to build a raised bed for the backyard and plant loads of vegetables. Probably won't actually get done tomorrow, but maybe we can at least get started with a trip to Lowe's. I'm excited to turn this black thumb green this year! Here's to hoping I actually can haha 

Hope your part of the world is bright and sunny today! The high today here in Nashville is going to be 86*F! I know... melting! Isn't it crazy that it's still technically winter?! Bizarre! (Well, I guess today is the first half day of Spring)

PS; Sorry for the picture overload! I really should have edited those down... but oh well. Here are like 7 pictures of me standing the same way in the same spot with the same hand on the hip ;)

PPS; This is my favorite song in the world right now. This entire album is gold. What's your favorite tune lately?

  3. Love the classic black white and red combo :) The weather here's been fantastic, though this morning is still kinda foggy (but that's kinda rawkin' too, but that might just be me)

    Sounds like you guys had a great weekend :)

  12. I love cheap stuff from AE! Plus, wow, 'dangerous' isn't usually a word associated with loafers, but I guess there's a first time for everything!

  14. I like that dress, I've been really into white lacey dresses lately. And I sure wouldn't want to be kicked in the face with those loafers (or any loafers, really...).

  15. Good luck with the gardening! We're getting ready to start our own out here. It's so nice to be able to step outside and grab fresh vegetables in the late summer and fall. I cannot wait.
