Vintage Inspired Navy Floral Skirt

Today's post is a little photo-heavy, but can you honestly blame me? This skirt is such a dream! I can't get over this beautiful floral pattern--it's beautiful with a crisp white for spring but will also look darling this fall with a number of sweaters (I'm thinking navy, mustard, forest green...). I'm starting to slowly build my skirt collection in the hopes of having some looks that work more year-round and the quality of this one is promising to last me for years to come--important with a style as timeless as a circle skirt! I love that there are so many vintage styles that are still being recreated today!

When I found this skirt, I was initially only seeking a white blouse that would be a bit dressier than what I owned and would allow me to feel more appropriate donning my various skirts at church. When I came across this white peter pan collar blouse on Unique Vintage, it was actually styled with this exact skirt and I just fell in love! I immediately thought about how perfect it would be for fall, as well--something I always look for in a new piece of clothing. Unfortunately, this has also put me in an unshakable mood for all things autumn. There's just something to be said for that cozy feeling you get when there's a chill in the air and once our vacation has come and gone, I'm just kind of over summer.

Skirts are a fantastically versatile piece to have in your closet; you can change out your tops with the seasons or with your mood. Having pieces in your style arsenal that can be re-worn in new ways can make your wardrobe feel totally fresh and new for next to nothing--and skirts like these are exactly what you need for a long-lasting, quality closet that can be around for years to come! It can feel like a bit of an investment at first, but trust me, it will pay off in the long run!

How to Protect Your Pups This Summer

Thank you Hartz® UltraGuard Pro® for sponsoring this post. Complete and trusted flea and tick prevention starts with Hartz!



Hellooo, summertime! Now that we've added another furry friend to our family, our summer adventures are looking a little different. We're on a mission to make this summer the smoothest--and safest!--one yet, so I'm excited to partner with Hartz® UltraGuard Pro® to share a few tips for protecting your pups over the summer:




PREP

You never want to show up unprepared, so of course we always make sure to have some essentials on hand with us! Some of our must-haves for puppy outings are waste bags, bottled water, and doggie treats.




PREVENT

As important as it is to make sure you have everything you need for your outing, it's equally important to think about prevention! It can get so hot and humid here in the Midwest, so we try to always make sure we prevent overheating with our pups by planning our outings at peak times or in shady areas, keeping coats trim/brushed, and bringing along bottled water for everyone. When everyone has the energy and hydration they need, the outing goes much more smoothly!



PROTECT

If your pup is anything like Hazel, she'll find the most overgrown patch of grass or shrubbery and immediately roll around in it. I love to see her having fun, but also know the dangers that can lurk in those tall grasses and leaves. Since summer is such a busy time, it's great to know I can rely on Hartz® UltraGuard Pro® Flea & Tick Collars to keep pesky parasites at bay for up to 7 months! These collars are so durable; they're water-resistant and sturdy enough to stand up to our outdoor adventures, day or night thanks to the added reflective strip! Hartz® UltraGuard Pro® works by repelling fleas, ticks, flea eggs, and even flea larvae! If you prefer to administer your pup's treatment on your own schedule, Hartz® UltraGuard Pro® also has a topical treatment available.



From prep to protect, your pup will thank you for making your summer adventures carefree! You can visit Hartz.com to learn more about Hartz® UltraGuard Pro® and where to find it. They protect more than 5 million dogs from flea and ticks each year, so you couldn't be putting your pups protection in better hands!

A Vintage Yellow Day Dress

I can't believe this is my very first true vintage day dress! You might not know that I'm an avid vintage lover and antique hunter. I could spend every weekend at the flea market, scouring for hidden gems and scooping up the latest treasures! On our recent trip to Galveston, I took a quick detour to Houston and got the chance to check out Retropolis: a vintage clothing lover's dream! I had an absolute blast trying on so many pieces of history in that store, but it was this delicate yellow frock that made its way home with me. It's actually from JCPenney! I dated the tag back to the 1960's based on the logo. It's fun to think about the story behind the dress; I can picture the original owner ordering it out of a catalog and waiting anxiously for it to arrive. Was it for a special occasion? A first date, maybe? Whatever its original purpose, I'm excited to breathe new life into it in a new generation!
