Dear Banana Republic, Thank you for making this perfect ruffled sleeve top. It has stripes, which is my favorite print. It’s black and white, which is my favorite color combination. The ruffle sleeves are totally bomb. It’s flowy, but not too loose, so I can wear it on both my skinny days and fat days and always feel confident. It washes and dries beautifully without needing to be ironed. I can wear it for work or weekends. The festive sleeves make me want to shimmy and dance. I’m thinking about buying it in all the colors & prints it comes in. Thank you for making the perfect shirt. Love, Miranda

What do y’all think about my new, blond-ish hair? I’ve had this color for about two weeks now and I think I’m finally getting used to it! It was definitely weird to see at first, but I am really loving it. I used to be blonde several years ago, but I just like changing up my hair every once in a while. To be honest, my gray roots are getting worse and worse as I get older so I wanted to go with a lighter color overall. I got tired of seeing the stark difference between my gray roots and dark brown hair only 3-4 weeks after each hair color appointment. To be completely candid, it was also a total pain to Photoshop! I’m hoping that the lighter color will blend in better with my natural granny hair, so we’ll see what happens!

Anyway, how cute is this little white dress? I first wore this in another post that I wrote detailing my visit to A Splash of Sass boutique in Cypress, TX. I’ve actually worn this dress a few times now so I figured it was time to get some proper photos of me wearing it. This dress is just so unique and cool, which makes it one of my favorite things in my closet. I don’t have anything else like it! I love the mesh overlay and the slightly jagged hem, and the white is so fresh for summer. I paired it with a white necklace and white wedges, but kept things fun with these amazing floral sunnies! I wish I knew the brand of the sunglasses, but I bought them at a boutique in Memphis and have no idea how to find them online. I did link to several similar items in the shopping widget below though, so happy shopping!

Road Trip Diaries: Athens of the South

I’m back today with another outfit post from our road trip to Kentucky. After we left Kentucky, we took a very leisurely route on our way home. We stopped to stay in Nashville, Tennessee for two nights because there was no way I was driving through without seeing the city! I had never been before but always wanted to visit, and Nashville did not disappoint us!

On this particular day we spent the morning in Kentucky, made the three hour drive to Nashville, and then explored the city a little bit in the evening. I wanted to wear an outfit that could take me through the whole day with no fuss. I tend to pack light on trips so that I don’t have to deal with a bunch of outfit changes. I always bring my most comfortable (but cute) clothes and shoes with the hope that I won’t ever have to fuss with what I’m wearing. I’d like to think that I’m pretty low maintenance on vacations, but I’m sure my husband would disagree with that!

Anyway, our hotel in Nashville was in an awesome location. We were directly across the street from Vanderbilt University, and just down the street from Centennial Park. After we checked in to our hotel and relaxed for a bit, we decided to get out and walk around. Visiting the park was on my Nashville bucket list because they have a Parthenon replica inside the park. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, then you know that we went to Greece on our honeymoon last year and visited the real Parthenon in Athens. I think it’s kind of silly and totally awesome that there is a Parthenon replica in Nashville, which has a fascinating history that you can read more about here. Apparently Nashville is known as “Athens of the South,” which I don’t completely understand but I’m totally on board with it anyway. We had an awesome visit enjoying the beautiful cool weather and snapping a million selfies. It was definitely a must-see for anyone visiting Nashville for the first time.

My next outfit post will feature more about Nashville, so stay tuned!
