FRIDAY FAVORITES....FLORAL FUN EDITION

This month is going so fast and two boys are already down at college. After Tuesday, we will be empty-nesters, for the college year anyway, and I don’t quite know how to feel about it. Definitely keeping busy is on the agenda and not quite sure yet how are going to fill our Friday nights without football under the lights? Lol. Tomorrow will be a baby shower for my cousin and hopefully Sunday will be a pool day. What are you up to this weekend?

1. CHICAGO WITH MR. NINE

You know we love to get to Chicago when we can and after hearing it was going to be a nice weekend there, Mr. Nine just knew we had to get away after all they have been going on at home. Plus, I think he kind of wanted to cheer me up. It was one of those no agenda weekends and it was perfect. We did lots of walking, eating, and drinking and visiting rooftop bars! Sunday was full of people watching on the Riverwalk and more good food including Stan’s Donuts! I actually ate two entire donuts on the way home as I had not had anything sweet to eat in two weeks and they were absolutely delicious!

Love staying at the Trump Hotel..the view and customer service are Ahhmazing 

A Favorite Restaurant is Nico Osteria. The Brussels Sprouts Bruschetta is one of my favorite dishes ever. Mr.Nine got the BEST Corn Beef Hash.

2. MEMORY JAR

Before Daisy passed, I cut some locks of her hair and wanted something special to put them in. How precious is this little Memory Jar. The boys think I should put it on the Christmas tree this year. The owner of the Etsy shop was so sweet and was even able to put her middle name on the tag as well.

4. FLORAL PANTS, TANK & FEDORA

You know I love to wear dresses but when I find pants that are as cute as this and fit this well, I’m sold! They are a dream to wear. I got these cuties at Kohl’s and it looks so cute with the tank top and fedora. This was what I wore all day on Saturday in Chicago and it was super comfortable and fun!

CHAMBRAY DRESS RE-CREATION

A couple weeks ago I posted some outfits in my Friday Favorites HERE that I want to try to recreate as I thought they were so stinkin' cute! 

This adorable chambray dress ensemble below was one of them.

I actually had everything in my closet to make a similar outfit. 

While, a little lighter shade, I got my Chambray dress from the Loft a couple months ago and love how comfortable it is. The style possibilities will take me well into Fall.

My leopard clutch is from Express, scarf from Amazon, Booties are Dolce Vita from 6pm.com and Fedora is from Target. (after I did this post, I got a darker tan fedora that would've looked better and will be more Fallish but I still love how this turned out and the lighter color of it for Summer.)

Another CUTE Chambray dress my husband got me Saturday (Clearance at Eddie Bauer)

It has pockets!! Great for Fall with a cardigan!!

MY FEDORA!!

Aren't Fedora hats like the greatest hat EVER! I often feel like I do not look good in hats, but in a Fedora, I feel confident and I can cover up a bad hair day like nobodies business. Can I just say, this fedora saved my hair life, not to mention time on our Cayman vacation. No need to worry about humidity and frizz, just throw on a fedora!! Oh and I liked this pic because my beverage matched my top. LOL

 

Here is how I styled it in the back most days but the fedora even looks cute with braids. pig tails, a pony, down,etc. Anything goes under a fedora.

Holding a Stingray :) 

Cover up is last year by Jessica Simpson. I kept waiting for it to go on sale but waited too long until it was gone in my size. However, I lucked out and found it on Ebay for 1/5 the price still with the tags on. Love it and Jessica Simpson has so many other cute coverups. Really comfy and breezy and goes with a lot of suits.
