Happy Monday everybody! I hope your weekend and Mother’s Day were both amazing! Now that I’ve had a few days to recover and catch up from my New York trip, I’m back to my normal schedule at home. Not for long though!
This weekend I’m heading to my friend Jenny’s wedding in Nashville. It’s been nearly ten years since I was last in Tennessee, so I’m looking forward to reacquainting myself with the country music capital of the world. While I don’t have a ton of free time, I will have time to grab dinner on Thursday night – do y’all have any recommendations?? Let me know!
Now to today’s outfit… I wore this look for a few meetings in New York last week. This blazer is one I picked up right before the rewardStyle conference in April. The unique caramel color and the open-back style are initially what drew me in, but the fact that it was on sale sealed the deal. The fabric on this jacket is light, making it an ideal transitional piece from winter to spring and summer to fall. Definitely a piece I’ll be packing for London! PS – if you wear a size 2, check out this blazer in cream. So gorgeous!
One more thing… I’m still not completely sold on how I want the UK links to show up in my “SHOP THE POST” section in every blog post. I hope you’ll bear with me as I figure out the best way to incorporate these new links for my UK readers! If you have any questions or suggestions on how to make it easier for you to read, let me know!
