Orange + Ikat + #YOLOmondays Link-Up!

maternity style - orange eyelet dress, denim jacket, aztec print scarf
{{Dress: Old Navy Maternity (non-maternity version)
{{Jacket: LOFT
{{Scarf: Southern Charm Apparel
{{Necklace: The Mighty River Project
{{Clutch: Clothes Hound Raleigh
{{Flip-flops: Rainbow

Yes, I know I wore this dress just last week. BUT, let’s be real people. In real life, people wear things more than once. They also wear the same thing in the same week. This dress is comfortable and I happen to love it. So why not wear it again, but make it “feel” different? Last week I wore it with a cardigan and a headband. This week, I wear it with a fun light scarf and my favorite denim jacket. And flip-flops.

I have had this particular pair of brown rainbow flip-flops for TEN years. Yes, ten years. Maybe longer. I can just remember having them for ten years. They are perfectly broken in and basically, once the weather hits 60+ degrees, these puppies go on my feet and are on my feet for 90% of the warm months. Are you with me? Anyone else a Rainbow flip-flop fan? Oh, and by the way, I also have these in black. And I have them in white / beige. So I have all three of my neutral colors covered.

These photos also reminded me, however, that I need to paint my toenails. Thank the Lord you can’t really see my toes in these photos.

Also, funny story, I got about halfway through taking photos of this outfit and realized I still had my extremely ugly wrist brace / splint on (for my tendinitis). NOT cute. So I took it off and started over. It’s totally fine.

On another, more random note, the amount of pollen that is out right now should be illegal. Seriously. I don’t drive a yellow car. My car is blue. But no, it is yellow right now because of all the pollen. My eyes, nose, ears, throat, body, etc. are NOT fans of the pollen.

AMIRIGHT?!

Anywho. It’s Monday and it’s going to be a GREAT week. Get it, y’all.
Happy YOLO Monday! Each week, Carly & I select a few of our favorite posts from the Monday before to feature. It’s a great way to put the spotlight on a few of y’all each week! Please be sure to link up an ACTUAL post, not just a link to your main page.

April + #YOLOmondays Link-Up!

22 Replies

I hope you had a WONDERFUL Easter weekend! I know I did. It was low-key, spent the day Saturday hanging out with my family, and spent the day Sunday at an amazing worship celebration at church and then the rest of the day napping. Oh yeah.

What did YOU do this weekend?

I’ve been feeling super energized since getting over being sick last week and my blog brain is brewing with post ideas. I just have the hardest time being patient and writing them one at a time! Hahaha. Anyone else ever have that problem? Just me? No? I hope not.

Anywho. Well, we will get to those soon, but today, I have asked my sweet blog friend Rachel to guest post and share her AMAZING design skills with y’all and her April desktop calendar. (I use her calendars every month! I love them!) Enjoy!

+++

Hi all you pretty people! My name is Rachel and I blog over at lala Lists. While I am super happy to be here, I do know how much these annoying guest posts can be, so I won’t bore you. You can go here if you want to learn more about me. We all have super busy, crazy, maddening lives and sometimes it is hard to keep track of things. Well I want to help you with that!

As a graphic design student I love making pretty things. As a type-A
personality I go mad for calendars and planners. I decided to combine my
love of the two and create a little freebie. So last month I made my first desktop calendar and absolutely loved the process, so I decided to give it another go! I call it Aztec in April.

(aztec pattern via)

Whaddya think? There are 9 different sizes for different screen resolutions. If you don’t know your computer’s dimensions, you can go check here. You can download the calendar here. I hope you like it and I would love to hear any feedback you may have! I also hope you stop on by lala and say hi because I love to meet new bloggers and if you follow Molly, you must be a pretty fabulous bunch!
