As If

black sweater - Target | skirt - vintage; very similar from Asos | 

nude pumps - Nordstrom (on sale!) | Swagger gits monogrammed clutch c/o

Daniel Wellington watch c/o (used code 'modaandthemar' for 15% off)

totally as if.  

i have been eyeing plaid skirts all year - i mean, the 90s are back in full-force - so when this vintage Talbots beauty showed up in one of my favorite insta-thrift shops, i couldn't type 'sold' fast enough.  

the trouble with pleated plaid comes in the styling.  it's waaaay to easy to go Catholic school girl or Cher Horowitz without even trying.  and since it's still too hot to layer, a preppy look with cableknits was out.  i decided to keep things simple with a thin sweater and my favorite nude pumps.  (BTW - these d'orsay nude pumps are perfection and are on sale right now!)

and since i'm not afraid of mixing my reds & purples, i finished the work look with a classic monogrammed clutch from Swagger Gifts.  OK GUYS - real talk....  this clutch is $15.  yep.  $15 monogrammed.  amazing deal, right?!!?  SO amazing in fact, i think more than one person on my Christmas list will be receiving their very own.  it comes in 8 different colors with your choice of thread color.   you're welcome.  

i hope everyone has a great weekend!

Happy Monday, guys!

I'm back to blogging with a passion this week (even though I still don't feel 100%) and today's post is a doozy!  So many fun new Summertime favorites!  

This dress from Swagger Boutique is going to be worn slam out this Summer!  I absolutely love the color and print on this simple shift.  The material is so soft and can easily be dressed up or down.  I'm pretty sure I need this dress in all 10 prints/colors that it comes in!  It would make getting dressed every day a whole lot easier!!   Swagger carries so many adorable pieces that are easy to wear.  AND they are close by here in NC so of course they have a special place in my heart!

Swagger phone clutch c/o | Minnie & Emma phone case c/o

Another fun & Suuuuper functional piece from Swagger ? This handy dandy cell phone clutch.  I mean... Genius.  I have seen clutches and wallets that hold your phone and cash & cards, but I have never seen one that actually allows you to access your phone without taking it out of your cute clutch every 5 minutes two seconds.  This makes my Instagram addiction super legit.  This dainty clutch comes in 7 fun colors for Summer - you know I had to have coral... and will be so convenient for concerts, barbecues and shopping!

Anjolee eternity band c/o

Ok - last amazing find for the day.  Promise.  So I have been pestering the hubs about a one-year anniversary band ever since I got the engagement ring.  No joke.  Leaving subtle hints and helping him to realize the one-year band is a real thing.  Needless to say, two years have passed since we vowed forever & always, ....and still no one-year band.  But thanks to the gorgeous diamond eternity rings from Anjolee I think I have him more than partially convinced.  The band I am wearing is a custom-made eternity band adorned with 18 3x5.5 mm stones.  It's stunning.  And just what my stack needs to feel complete....  I love every ring on Anjolee is completely customizable.  From the actual stones & settings to the metal and weight.   This band is exactly what I wanted and can even be worn solo for days when I don't want to risk my wedding set.   

Thanks for making it through this whopper!  I hope everyone had a great weekend!
