I hope your Monday is off to a great start! Last weekend on Memorial Day Trey and I got to go to the outlet mall at Lake of the Ozarks (Missouri girls you know what I'm talking about...it's great), and I did quite a bit of shopping for my new job! I had great intentions of only buying things I could wear to work, but I couldn't resist this little 'Love' tee at J. Crew Factory. Oh, and did I mention everything in the store was 50% off + an additional 10% off?! Yeah, I kind of went to town.

I love dressing up a graphic tee with jewelry (in this case my statement necklace), shoes, and sometimes a blazer! They're so fun to play around with.

Hello! Aren't you glad this is a shorter work week? I had a fun 3-day weekend, filled with family time, shopping (hello outlet mall MDW sales), wedding invites, and even a little time to catch up on TV shows.

Later this week I will be starting my new job + semi-moving an hour away (clothes-only at this point), and with rain in the forecast all. week. long. I can't promise many outfit posts in the next couple of weeks. But please know, I'll be doing my best to post consistently, and to bring you the best content I can! In the meantime, please pardon my Instagram post today ;) If you know me or have followed me for awhile (follow along here), you know how truly obsessed I am with Instagram though. Seriously, it's the best.

Loving Lately | Flats 3.06.2014

First row L to R: Ankle Strap Flats | Printed Loafers

Middle row L to R: Gray D'Orsay Flats | Pink & Black D'Orsay Flats

Bottom row L to R: Ankle Strap Flats | Striped Pointed Toe Flats 

Say hello to my latest obsession - flats! To be honest, I haven't really ever liked flats up until about a year ago. I thought round-toe ballet flats were often frumpy, and that pointed toe flats would make my already long feet look like flippers! 

I've found that pointed-toe flats, while they may make your feet look slightly longer, are extremely elongating and slimming! And I don't think there are many of us girls that don't want our legs to look long and lean, am I right? Sometimes they can be uncomfortable, but if you find a well-fitting pair with a bit of 'give,' they're not at all bad once you break them in slightly. Now onto rounded-toe ballet flats... I mentioned above that I used to find them frumpy. But, I think a lot of this is the way they used to be styled, and overall that shoes just weren't as cute when I was in middle school and high school! I've come to realize they're such a classic, elegant shoe and that they're so versatile. I just bought a pair of cognac ballet flats last week and I already know I'll wear them so much.

In addition to some of my current favorites above, here are a ton of other options! Price-wise I've picked options ranging from $22 to $100, and most of these come in a few different colors!

Jacy
