I think I found the perfect piece to wear in your at-home office and especially for your video work calls… statement tops! Working from home can be tricky, it’s hard to focus from the comfort of your own home when your warm bed or cozy couch is calling your name! Since we’re not going out and about these days, it’s difficult to be motivated to even get out of pajamas! But I’ve found that getting ready for the day is a great way to motivate myself to be more productive, and a statement top is really all you need! It works perfectly for work chats and makes you feel slightly more put together when you’re out walking the dog!
Hi Friends! So this was actually a post I’ve been meaning to write for months but it’s been ringing so true to me recently with all the time spent at home. It’s no secret that life has changed a great deal for me in the past year and while it’s been full of challenges it’s also been full of a lot of joys. I’ve learned a lot about myself in this period of life, as a mother, a wife, a friend, a business owner, and just as a person. I wanted to share what I’ve learned about my life lately (the good and the bad), in the hopes of possibly inspiring some of you to do a similar analysis. Also, have to call out this pretty dress because it’s my favorite recent find! Quality is so good and the price is even better- honestly thought it was mismarked!

March Edit: Pretty Pastels
It’s pastel season! As I’ve talked about recently, {check out my recent post on the best pastels for your skin tone!}, pastels are one of the biggest spring and summer 2020 trends, and I’m totally here for it! Soft shades and subtle hues are so pretty and girly, and can add color into an outfit in an understated, but adorable, way!
One of my favorite ways to wear pastels is actually through accessories! These peachy leaf earrings from Nordstrom are so cute and perfect for the coming spring and summer time, and the soft peach shade is a great subtle way to wear pastels. I also love this light pink bobby pin set. Hair accessories are so fun and really in right now {stay tuned for my favorites next week!}, not to mention these ones are a perfect pastel pink shade! And how cute is this baby blue pastel bag from TDE?! Not only is the pastel shade adorable, but this bag is also customizable! You can add text, in whatever font and font size you want, so you can add your initials or name, which I think is SO cute and fun!!
I think pastel shades are great in cozy sweaters – soft colors and soft sweaters! This fuzzy wool blend sweater from & Other Stories is such a pretty lavender shade and looks so cozy. This sweater is so easy to pair with jeans, white pants, or even a light floral skirt. This top from Nordstrom combines two of my favorite trends right now: pastels and puff sleeves. With a light peach floral pattern and slightly puffed sleeves, it’s the best of both worlds!! You can even find pastels in shoes! I love the light turquoise shade of these Steve Madden sandals, and the sandal style is so comfy and easy.
Another fun way to get those pastels into your look is with makeup! This peach makeup set from Anthropologie has blush, eye shadow, highlighter, and lipstick all in delicious shades of peach – so perfect for that glowy and natural makeup look! Nails are also a great way to go, there are so many pastel shades in nail polish! This nail polish comes in SO many pastel shades, but I love the soft blue for a subtle statement nail color. Adding that pastel nail color is the perfect way to finish off your pastel look!
