Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend! Mine was slightly eventful! I went out for dessert on Friday night and then on Saturday I went out to dinner and hung out with my cousin. I don't really go out much these days as I'm still recovering from a major Crohn's flare, so even just an hour or two out of the house is like the best thing ever to me. Gosh, how uncool do I sound? 

Now let's talk about this dress! I am not really a big color wearing girl. Nothing against it, I just always gravitate toward more neutral colors for some reason. I've always been this way too! But for some reason I was really drawn to this dress. I loved the styling of it with the open lace back and the slit in the front. Plus, I have always thought blondes looked pretty in red from pictures I've seen of friends or other bloggers and thought what the heck let's go for it! I'm so glad I did. This is definitely something I'd wear to a dressier event or even a wedding. Turns out stepping out of your fashion comfort zone isn't as scary as I thought!

Happy Monday, friends! Did you have a good weekend? On Friday I stopped by a fun happy hour hosted by my blogger pal Denver Darling for Swoozies. It was so great to see all my local blogger pals and catch up! 

Today I'm sharing a look I love for Spring and Summer. I love monochrome looks because they're so easy to throw on and allow you to have fun with accessories. All white is one of my FAVORITE things to wear in the warmer months because it's light and fresh. This cold shoulder top has so many pretty details and is so lightweight, it's perfect for these warmer temps we're finally getting, and can be paired with so many different things. Pairing with some simple jewelry and fun shoes keeps it look simple and easy. 

What easy looks are you loving this time of year?

Festival Vibes

So I'm sure your Instagram and Snapchat feeds are full of Coachella posts right now. Anyone else having major FOMO like me? I've never really been a music festival kind of gal, but Coachella looks like SO much fun. Definitely something I want to do. 

I wanted to share this fun festival vibe look because it just seems appropriate with Coachella happening - 'tis the season, right? I mean, how cute is this dress?! I absolutely LOVE the cutout side detail. Adds a little flintiness when paired with the high neck. The material of this dress is suede, but it's actually super lightweight - much lighter than you'd expect. Definitely something you can wear all summer. Tip: static guard/hairspray needed to avoid clinginess. Another tip: I wore a sticky bra so I wouldn't have straps showing on the sides. I added this statement necklace with a tribal vibe to really tie the whole festival look together. Now you definitely don't need a faux fur jacket for a summer festival like I added here, but it's actually lightweight and was a last minute addition just for fun. Perfect for wearing this look in the evening. This whole look is something I'd wear for a fun dinner or even a Saturday out playing with friends. 

DON'T FORGET! Park Lane Jewelry (all the jewelry I'm wearing in this post) is hooking up Sweet & Sauer readers! Use code 'SWEETANDSAUER' for $10 off $30+ or $25 off $75+. They have SUCH cute stuff and the quality is fantastic. And I promise I'm not just saying that.
