Color Crush: Shades of Green

March 17, 2021 by Rachel McCarthy

Happy Wednesday, friends! It has been awhile since I shared a Wednesday Wishes post and what better way to bring the series back than with a color crush post! Ironically, I am sharing a shades of green color crush post on St. Patrick’s Day; however, these shades of green have been some of my favorite recently. Here are my finds for this spring’s color crush: shades of green.

Color Crush: Shades of Green

Green is always a great color for spring — there is something so new and fresh about the shade. Over the past few weeks, I have really been gravitating towards all different shades of green. It all started with this green and white stripe shirt. I fell in love with the color, ordered it, and I’m actually wearing it today! The shirt is designed to be a little oversized, so I ordered my usual size. Also available in other colors if green isn’t your thing!

A few other pieces to highlight from this set: I have been missing my dress collection — I feel like I haven’t worn a dress since I was in my office over a year ago! I love this tiered maxi dress. It would be perfect for a bridal or baby shower, wedding, or even Easter. And this fit and flare dress just screams vacation! It would be so darling styled with a cute pair of sandals.

As for accessories, you can never go wrong with a headband in my opinion! I love the pearl details on this headband. I also love these fun artichoke statement earrings — the shades of green are bright and fresh and so perfect for this post!

I’ve included a few other green pieces below that I wasn’t able to fit in the collage, so be sure to scroll through!

Hair Accessories During Quarantine

April 23, 2020 by Rachel McCarthy

If you are anything like me, you cannot WAIT for hair salons to reopen. But until they do, I have been trying just about everything to hide the fact that I need highlights! Thankfully, my highlights aren’t that much lighter than my natural color, but it’s still enough to drive me crazy. Everyone is in this same boat, so I wanted to share some hair accessories during quarantine that can help hide the fact that you are in desperate need for a salon day!

Must-Have Spring Brights

Taking a break from the quarantine/social distancing posts to brighten up your computer today! There are so many bright and fun pieces to pick from right now, I’m planning to add some of these to my closet so I am ready for when all this is over. These must-have spring brights, that can most definitely be worn into the summer, not only brighten your closet but also your spirits — which is especially important given our current situation.

It’s difficult to pick a favorite with this colorful combination, but if I were to pick a “first day out of quarantine outfit” I’m thinking it would be something like this tiered floral maxi dress or this hot pink eyelet top. What is your first outfit out of quarantine going to be?! It’s probably sad that it has come to this, but it will for sure be a momentous occasion! Do tell in the comments section below!

Each year, I am always anxious to see what color rises to Pantone’s Color of the Year. And this week’s Wednesday Wishes is all about 2019’s color: coral. I share these color inspiration post each year and in the past, it’s been tough to find clothing in that color. Ironic since this color should be everywhere. Well, that was not the case with coral this year! Coral is everywhere and I have to say, I’m pretty excited about it. Here is some coral outfit inspiration:

With a new season comes a new way to style your chambray! Chambray, whether in the form of a shirt, dress or even shorts, is a versatile piece of clothing to have in your closet.

12 Outfits In a Carry-on

May 9, 2018 by Rachel McCarthy

I don’t know about you, but packing ranks high at the top of things I hate the most. Well, unpacking is probably a little higher 😉 We are leaving next week for a trip and after several to do lists with planning out what to pack, I thought I would share a travel post for this Wednesday Wishes. Packing a carry-on can be challenging. Especially if you want to make more than just a few outfits. But today, I have found 13 pieces (not including the earrings and necklace because those can be worn with just about everything) that can be mixed and match to create 12 outfits in a carry-on!
