I Don't Give A Tuck

Even though South Carolina was not hit by Snow Storm Stella, the weather here is still too cold for my liking. All week I had to wear long pants and a sweater or long sleeve shirt... NOT SPRING LIKE! Luckily today was a tad bit warmer and I at least got to rock an open back shirt without freezing to death while walking around the Oyster Factory in downtown Bluffton. 

If you know me, you should know I dress to be comfy and stylish at the same time. In shirts/sweaters I usually buy a size or two bigger because I rarely wear clothes skin tight! Because of that I like to tuck the front part of my shirt into my pants/skirts to cut down on looking frumpy... hence why this post is titled "I Don't Give A Tuck." 

In my opinion this outfit can work for many occasions and it is also very affordable. The entire outfit is less than $100, including the accessories. The shirt is from one of my favorite online boutiques, Dottie Couture Boutique the pants, boots (not the best for walking around on gravel) and sunglasses are from Target and the earrings are from World Market, which is one of my secret places for buying jewelry. 

Of course I had to show off my tattoo a little bit!
The open back gives this outfit an element of surprise which is a wonderful fashion statement!

When putting an outfit together it is also nice to have some humor associated with the completed look. This fun accessory was heart-shaped sunglasses...which typically you would see on a child. These heart-shaped sunglasses are trending with adults and I JUST LOVE THEM! They bring me back to my childhood and in conclusion they just make me smile. 

Even though I really love this outfit, I am so ready for the warm weather! I am ready for shorts, bathing suits and a great tan! But, if it has to be chilly this is a good outfit to rely on. 

Everything Sprouts In Spring

Spring is the season of rebirth and what better time to start my new adventure...blogging! I have always wanted to start a blog, but I have been too scared. Today I am no longer scared and I am sprouting into my new life as a blogger.  

Spring in South Carolina comes pretty early, usually the beginning or middle of March. I don't know about you, but I am beyond ready for winter to be completely over with so I can dress in my bright spring clothes. This is a new outfit I purchased during the coldest week in winter, hopeful that soon enough I could put on this bright dress and hit the streets of Bluffton. 

I may look sweet and innocent, but I do LOVE tattoos! I actually have four tattoos and I really enjoy showing them off. While buying clothes I do try to buy clothes that show off my tattoos as much as possible. I mean, I didn't get the tattoos to hide them right?

This photo shoot made me even more excited about Spring and I am ready to twirl myself right into the 80 degree and sunny weather.

The Best Accessory: A Dog...Or Three

I am a firm believer that the right accessory can truly make an outfit complete. I always love a great flowy scarf, a bold clutch, or a chunky necklace. But, my favorite accessory of all is a four-legged friend. Whether that is one, two or three! 

When I am walking down the street with one or all of my dogs, no matter what outfit I am wearing, I get numerous smiles from everyone I pass. Most of the time people think I am a crazy person, but still they notice us and that is why I think having a four-legged friend by your side is by far the BEST accessory one could ever have.  

My motto: Dog Hair Don't Care!
