striped top
When it comes to Thanksgiving outfits, my main goal is to be comfortable, but still polished at the same time. I wore this exact top and skirt a few Thanksgivings back and felt so cozy with the warm sweater material, but also comfy because of the elastic band, which is a must with all of the yummy food and drinks!
Read MoreHappy Wednesday, all! Snow pictures have always been my favorite. The cold that typically accompanies them is definitely not, but you cannot deny the beauty of a snowy backdrop. This was Ava's first big snow day too. l was so excited to see how she would like the snow and after a few tentative steps, she was off! Her snow suit outfit reminds me of a pink marshmallow, haha. It was the cutest thing watching her navigate her way through the white fluff.
Now, onto my look for our snow day fun. The snow had just stopped falling by the time we got outside and the temperature was starting to rise. By the time we headed back indoors, some of the snow was starting to melt already. I layered up with a button down, striped top, and a topcoat. I cannot get over these tulle cuffs on the striped top! Really, the most darling detail. I adore stripes, my nautical love coming through, and I adore tulle, my love for all things feminine and romantic coming through. Honestly, the tulle cuffs sold me on the top. It's great for pairing with a skirt for a night out, wearing in the summer with some white shorts, or layered up in the winter like I have here. It's incredibly versatile.
The beanie I'm wearing is from Love Your Melon. Their mission when they began back in 2012 was to put a hat on every child battling cancer in America. Their goal was met with 45,000 hats being donated, one for each child, and a new goal was set to raise and donate one million dollars for pediatric cancer research and to prove immediate help to children and their families. Fifty percent of profits from Love Your Melon is given to Love Your Melon's non-profit partners. To date over 80,000 hats and 1.5 million dollars has been donated.

The one thing I wanted to make sure I did while in Philly was take Ava to the zoo. What a wonderful time we had! You cannot really see in the first two zoo photos, but there is a tiger behind us haha. I had Ava in her tiger outfit that Justin and I picked out for her while we were at the San Diego zoo last year. I could not wait for her to be big enough to fit into the outfit and then to finally take her to a zoo while wearing it. She's my little tigress! The cutest event that happened was when, I'm assuming it is the mother, giraffe went over to one of the baby giraffe and started nuzzling it. Everyone went "aaaawwwwwww." My heart melted right there! This blue striped ruffle sleeve top is perfect for a summer outing. I love the nautical vibe, but these fun feminine ruffles are what really get me! They're too cute to pass up, plus the top is under $15. I'm wearing an XS.

On our second day in Philly, we did lots and lots of exploring! We went to the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and various shops. The historic part of Philly is so beautiful and a treasure trove of interesting sights and museums. You can never go wrong with stripes and needless to say I've always been a bit obsessed with them! They have a preppy nautical feel that I just adore. This shirt is so lightweight and comfortable to wear in the high heat. It also has great versatility, being able to wear it in the office with some khaki slacks, white shorts or blue jeans on the weekend, or even with a skirt for date night. The pink striped shorts have me feeling all kinds of happy! They're on sale now for $19.50 too. They are beyond cute and kind of remind me of candy, haha. Not a bad thing!

I never used to wear anything that was olive or army green inspired. I've mentioned before that I've been trying some different looks, with this color and style being one of them. I always try to put my girly spin on it though haha. Here's another army green coat I recently wore. The jewelry set from Lily Lough gives this a glam feeling as well as the leopard heels making this casual outfit feel more polished. The necklace and earrings set are stunningly beautiful. They look so much more expensive then they are (only $28!) The striped shirt from Humble Chic is a great layering piece to have. I love wearing this shirt with some jeans or under a sleeveless dress for some fun added warmth.
I'm totally having cabin fever right now and wanting to wear everything spring like. When I photographed this outfit on Tuesday, it was 50 degrees! If only it would stay that way. Anyone else feeling some cabin fever?
