Dressed to "The Nines"

My Chanel-inspired black/white look for the 2nd Annual The Nines Fashion Show last night. Such a great time! They are always on trend with looks for the summer. Some of my favorites were a blue chevron maxi dress and a scalloped crop top.

When all you want is the sun...

It has been raining for the past 8 days, I swear, with a 30 minute break yesterday for me (and my boys) to play outside. It seems like mother nature is laughing in our face. 'Oh, you're coming out to play because you've been cooped up for days? Just kidding, I'm not done raining.' 

This is really putting a damper on my girly cute spring/summer wardrobe. My bright colors are rarely seeing the outside of my closet and my dark, winter clothes are getting way more use than they are supposed to. 

Here are my tips to avoid a winter-like spring funk:

1. Throw on your Wellies water boots and go puddle jumping! Who cares? It's just water, be a kid.
 

2. Make a Target run for a cute umbrella and take a short walk around the block. How cute and fun is this?

3. And when you just can't leave your house because the wind and storm is too much, there's always online shopping!
