A Sunny Disposition

Maxx (old, similar HERE) | BRALETTE: Impressions Boutique halter lace bralette | SKIRT: J.Crew Factory flared skirt (sold out, similar HERE and HERE) | SHOES: Jessica Simpson 'Calie' | PURSE: Michael Kors (old, similar HERE) | EARRINGS: Altar'd State (old, similar HERE) | NECKLACE: Kendra Scott 'Elisa' pendant necklace | WATCH: Wristology 'Rachel' gold boyfriend watch | RING: Rocksbox (use the code 'autumnmerraexoxo' for a free month!)

While Manhattan may be gloomy and the tornado warnings affluent, I'm not letting that bring down my bright, spring outfits, and what better way to brighten things up than with neon yellow and hot pink?! I love how light and airy this outfit is, and the define waist of the skirt and lace bralette add the perfect feminine flare for the season.

B&W Polka Dots

Today I'm mixing up one of the chicest color combinations, black and white, with a fun and feminine flair. While the solid black top along with the black accessories keep the outfit sophisticated, the polka pants add a younger factor to the whole look, and the Kendra Scott earrings along with the high neckline add a dash of class. 

Prep Up Your T-Shirts

SHIRT: Southern Grace Company flower wreath tee (also styled here) | SHORTS: T.J. Maxx (not available online, similar HERE) | SHOES: Mossimo Supply Co. 'Layla' sneakers | EARRINGS: Lauren Ralph Lauren faux pearl stud earrings | WATCH: Wristology 'Rachel' gold boyfriend watch | SUNGLASSES: Clubmaster tortoise sunglasses

While oversized t-shirts and norts are an easy and foolproof go-to (especially in college), pairing your tee with a pair of tailored chino shorts can bring your look from "I woke up like this" to preppy and cute. This t-shirt from Southern Grace Company has remained one of my favorites, even in the mix of all of my Comfort Colors sorority tees, because of its beautiful blue color. I loved putting it with a pair of light pink shorts that match the pink detailing on the shirt. 

Blue Stripe Trapeze Top

Maxx (old, exact ones HERE) | SHOES: Target (old, similar HERE) | PURSE: similar HERE | EARRINGS: Lauren Ralph Lauren faux pearl stud earrings | WATCH: Wristology 'Rachel' gold boyfriend watch | SUNGLASSES: Clubmaster tortoise sunglasses

Pink and blue will always been two of my favorite colors, and it's hard to go wrong when pairing them together. This striped trapeze top is super thin and light weight which makes it perfect for the summertime heat that is coming our way, and the bright pink shorts add the perfect pop of color.
