Springtime Mood Board – 3/27/2023

Last week I said I was bringing the spring vibes, but when I look back…it was summer nights vibes for sure last week. Can you tell I desperately want warm weather?? So, I’m bringing the spring vibes this week.

With Easter right around the corner, there is a little inspo in here for the calming vibes I’m embodying for Easter. We plan on going to church and then spending the afternoon with friends. Nothing flashy, just wholesome fun to enjoy the time together and appreciate everything we have.

I’m also really trying to be calm and present in the moment, appreciating my family, animals, and the highly anticipated warmer weather that’s just around the corner. I am itching for spring!! This weekend should give me allllllll the feels for that. We’re planning to put up the playset we bought for the kids. I still have to paint it though…so maybe I should do that Friday before the guys come put it together.

What do you have planned this weekend?

Mood Board Monday – March 20

Mood Board Monday – March 20

Last week, after putting together my moody mood board, the only thing I ended up doing that evening was having an espresso martini (or 5…) and had a cozy evening with my husband where we played Skip-Bo and talked for hours. It honestly was magical and lifted my mood tremendously. Marriage can be hard, and communication can be tricky and nuanced, but working at it and reaping the rewards of honest communication is so worth it.

This week, I’m just feeling the calming springtime vibes. I’m looking forward to the peak into summer, the gardening, the healthy fresh start that comes with warmer weather, and the possibilities that the rest of the year has in store.

One of my goals is to be more present. To spend more, undistracted time with my kids and explore the outdoors. Winter can be so long and confining, and the hope that spring brings for warm weather, blooming trees and flowers, and endless possibilities is what keeps me going this time of year. I just can’t wait. Maybe I’ll put together a summertime bucket list this week!

What are you looking forward to this spring?

Mid Rise Boyfriend Shorts

Ponte Notch-Neck Bodysuit

Short Sleeve Button Up

These shorts are so comfortable. They are a great length. I sized up from what I ordered my jeans in and have zero regrets. I like a looser fit with shorts so they don’t hug my thighs too much.

These go great with a body suit and the Ponte Notch-Neck is such a sleek option. The fabric is nice and thick, the color is super flattering with my skin tone, and the cutout allows you to wear a normal t-shirt bra with no problems.

The shorts are also the perfect height along the waist for a cute crop top like the short sleeve button up. It rests right along the hemline and the color is one of my personal faves. I just don’t think you can go wrong with green! The material of the shirt has an activewear feel so it’s great for warm weather or layering.

Ottoman Slim Scoopneck Tank

Oversized Tunic Half-Zip Vest

Seamless Fabric Boatneck Top

The ottoman slim scoopneck tank is a thick knit tank top that rests beautifully at the top of some high-rise jeans and the color is a great muted purple color. This can easily be layered up in colder weather with a cropped sweater or flannel.

The oversized tunic half-zip vest is perfect for the changing seasons, adding warmth to the core but ventilation. Very casual, great for lounging around the house or running errands but I will say it is not easily dressed up.

The boatneck top is so so so comfortable and the neutral color is so chic. Great with a pair of high-waisted pants or a nice skirt / skort. By far one of my favorite tops, I love the scoopneck, it is extremely flattering along the neckline and the cut is slimming and comfortable. Definitely a must!

Stay tuned for part 2!
