Mother's Day Gift Guide Part Two

 I know, I know - another gift guide? I can't help it! I love searching up recommendations to add to gift guides, and, with Mother's Day coming up this weekend (Sunday, May 9, 2021!), I just had to add an additional list for anyone who may still need to find a present before the holiday approaches. All of the below items are pieces that I would love myself, so I hope you find them interesting. Also - every item is under $75!

Linen Dresses For Spring 2021

 

With spring in bloom and summer approaching, I think now is a perfect time to pull out the linen clothing! There's so many options for linen, but I have to say that I'm fairly partial to a good linen dress. To me, there's just something about a lightweight, linen dress that give me all the spring/summer vibes. Whether you are checking out a local market, walking along the beach, or frolicking through a field of flowers, a linen dress is a stylish yet classic choice! 

Spring Adventures

Good Morning, lovelies! I hope you are all doing well. I had such a lovely day yesterday, especially because it is springtime where I am now and I can wear summer dresses again. The dress featured in this post is from Pink Lily and I am obsessed with it! From the lightweight material to the pattern and how it moves, it's definitely a great staple for spring and summer. Pink Lily carries this dress in sizes XS-2XL and it's a big YES from me!

Mother's Day 2021 Gift Ideas

 With the month of May right around the corner, that means that Mother's Day is quickly approaching, as well! I have a really positive relationship with my mom, so I love spoiling her on her birthday and other holidays. I have something very sentimental planned for her June birthday, but I am still kicking around gift ideas for Mother's Day.

Career-Minded Styles and Suggestions (Under $40!)

I have had a love/hate relationship with workplace styles for the longest time. Sometimes I feel that the dress code requirements of many workplaces can be very limiting, and that it almost puts a damper on my sense of style. Other times, I feel a sense of power from dressing in a more professional and elegant manner. This seems to be quite the dichotomy that I have been experiencing since, well, I started working.
