Cross training Shoes // Suede Booties
White Dress // Hot Coral Hoodie // Black Dress
Happy almost spring! We were all SO ready for the longest month of January to end, and then February blew over like a tornado! Whew that was a fast month! As you can see, I’m generally a neutral type of girl, but this hot coral hoodie even took me by surprised! It is such a fun color to break up the dreary winter days! It’s been raining like mad for weeks on end it seems like. In Atlanta, we haven’t had more than 3 days of sun in a row since 2019 and we love our sunshine in the South, so I was feeling like cabin fever crazy! I don’t even know how I am going to handle any sort of coronavirus quarantine if that should happen here-fingers crossed we won’t have to do that!

Thoughts on What I Bought
- New Balance Cross Trainers-7.5 size up 1 whole size for a better fit. $48 I needed some new ones and there is such a limited selection of cross trainers compared to running shoes are the market. I wonder why? Do people only run? LOL Anyway love the gray color and lightweight mesh.
- Dolce Vita Gray Booties-TTS $56-used a $5 Gift Card, I stalked these at Nordstrom and was so excited to see they went on sale from $146. I love light colored shoes and the 2″ heel and pointy toe really elevate an outfit. I got so many compliments when I wear them!
- White Dress-Small $24. Love white dresses especially since this one is 100% cotton, lined, and 3/4 sleeves! Yes! Currently on sale for 20% off
- Hot Coral Hoodie-small $23 LOVE this hoodie. Front pocket, long enough to cover the butt, it’s perfect and super cozy yet bright for spring!
- Black Dot Dress-small c/o This is a short sleeve empire cut dress with a separate bow belt accessory. Lined and comes is several colors! It’s a great wedding guest dress and the wrap front is sewed in rather than with snap type so no worries about showing too much cleavage. Love the dot texture too!
Luxury Buys
I loved these slides and grabbed the white one. I would say it’s TTS and there has been some comments of discomfort where the seam that hits the top part of the foot. It’s rigid brand new, but softens quickly and excited that it will be my go to this spring and summer!
