There is something about the change of seasons that bring about feelings of hope and rebirth.  In the Pacific Northwest we are so lucky to experience all four seasons, albeit mild ones, but there is no other like Spring that bring the streets alive and humming with people. It's truly an experience you can feel and everyone takes notice. Happy Spring Lovelies.

I feel like the term soccer mom has an 'un-chic' connotation.  Am I wrong?  Maybe. Either way, I'm here to change the assumption about that term and give my own spin on 'soccer mom'. Obviously the focus is on our awesome little soccer players and not our attire but I figure we want to be comfortable AND chic at the same time, right? So, this is my attempt at it. Here's hoping.

I've always loved a good blazer but only recently began wearing the boyfriend blazer. I know I'm like 3 years late to the party but, man, I'm glad I showed up. The fit is relaxed and over sized which keeps it from looking corporate.  And the boyfriend blazer, as I'm now finding out, is also the perfect in between weather jacket for our confused spring temps.

If there's one thing I can count on in life it's that a blazer, skinny jeans, and a fierce heel will never disappoint. Yes, I said fierce. I'm sorry, not sorry. Have a great weekend everybody!

I have forever shamed the wear of sneakers outside of the gym. But I've come to see how cool sneakers are when paired with the unexpected, such as a leather pant. And the truth is, ballet flats just aren't comfortable to me and I won't be spending an entire day running around in them without sad feet. So, sneaker, thank you for being cool AND giving me support.

I'm a jeans and tee shirt kind of girl at heart, always have been. But I haven't always loved the denim top aka the chambray shirt. I guess it always reminded me of an old western movie. Or something. However, the combination of denim on top and bottom as seen all over Pinterest has changed my feelings for the chambray shirt. And of course, as with most things in my closet, when paired with a strong but simple heel all is well and good.

Perusing through Instagram yesterday, this post stopped me in my tracks. Immediately I was obsessing over the effortless but oh so cool vibe. I knew I wanted to recreate the look today so I shopped my closet and came up with this. Is it spot on? No. But I'm still loving it none the less.

Good morning! It has not stopped raining in 72 hours so there was no photos being had this weekend.  OOTD to resume upon sighting of the sun. Oh Seattle, I love you.
