I cannot express to you how much more awesome this shirt is in person. It is so lightweight and comfy but so sexy and polished at the same time. I have so many clothes that I have started to only buy/ask for things that I know I will have for a long time, I really love and that can be worn many ways and for different seasons {ha, not that we even have seasons in Texas}.

I first saw this necklace on Real Housewives of the OC when Alexis' hubby gave her the $5k diamond version with all three kids initials. I then saw lots of versions floating around Pinterest and have been obsessed ever since. I wear a lot of statement necklaces and I love the idea of wearing them along with this layered. It is so delicate and sweet. I am in love. I was on the fence about the different sizes available. Most of the outfit posts I have seen have the extra large version but it is pretty pricey and it is almost 2" big which I was afraid would be too big to layer. I liked the idea of the medium because it was kind of in between. It is still 1" big so it's not like it is super small. You can get many variations of this at all different price points but I liked the Max & Chloe version. Buy here. So here are a few new outfits, hope ya'll had someone spoil you for Mother's day {or pet mommy's day} too!!
Love this with shorts and wedges because even though the shirt is a very nice and probably more work appropriate shirt, you can dress it down to still be able to wear in every day life. Although a bit dressy, this would be casual enough to wear to happy hour or out to lunch with girlfriends. I would wear the shirt untucked with a white tank underneath.
{At the request of my good friend} I am going to do a whole separate white skinny jeans post but I wanted to throw this outfit on here. If the Texas weather allows it, this is casual enough to wear during the day but would work for a dinner date although I would probably add heels in that case. I got a pair of white skinny jeans on clearance at TJ Maxx because I am still not totally sold on the idea of skinny jeans without boots over them. Let's be honest, I was such a hater of skinny jeans for so long that I feel a bit like a hypocrite wearing them but I am starting to come around. Oh and again, I would wear the shirt untucked with a tank under it.
This is def a more work appropriate outfit but I think I could get away with it for church or maybe a dinner date. This outfit is pretty much what solidified my obsession with this shirt. Ann Taylor had a very similar version of this in their window paired with a pair of white pants with a wide white tie belt and it looked so hot {like spicy hot} for summer work attire. To be honest it made me miss working just for the clothes! Haha! I love white pants in the summer time, especially to break up the monotony of shorts which are about all you can wear in Texas in summer. White pants repel the heat and stay cool (given they aren't lined, ughhh!) ANNNNND they go with everything! The only downside is having baby Goat and white pants do not mix.
Did I mention my child is freaking huge and I might have to change his name to Giant Baby Child Goat. It is boggling my mind and making me very sad. Where did little 8 lb. Goat go and who is this kid who answers questions, tells me "no", and gives me attitude?! Time to have another one I suppose. Hehe!
Anyway, there are a few uses of my mother's day loot! I sure cleaned up! What about you? What was on your wish list? Did you get anything super fab that you weren't expecting?
