Last weekend we took a family stroll down South Congress (one of my favorite spots in Austin) for my daughter's birthday. I mentioned on Instagram how glorious the weather was and that we planned to spend most of the day outdoors. I wanted my chosen outfit to match my mood; bright, airy and full of spring colors.
JcPenney Denim Jacket (option here and here + a coupon code) // Love Shopping Miami Maxi Skirt c/o // Target Leopard Sandals (option here and here) // Forever 21 Tote // Sira & Mara Necklace c/o (sold out. similar here) // Nashelle Ring c/o // Ettika Bracelet c/o // Michael Kors Watch c/o The Jeweler's Wife // Forever 21 Mirror Glasses (optional colors)
Even though there isn't anything earth shattering about the style I put together, it's one of those looks that just works time and time again. It's casual, comfortable and sings a springtime melody.
Sometimes I forget that it's okay to throw on a white tee, solid skirt and denim jacket to keep things simple. By adding a few accessories that compliment the colors in your outfit, you can really finish off a look and make things come together in an effortless fashion.
I have to mention this pleated maxi skirt that Love Shopping Miami sent to me. I predict this little number will get lots of love attention over the next few months. The best thing about it besides it's length and color? It is fully lined. It is a pet peeve of mine when the lining in maxi dresses or skirts stop at the knees and the rest of the bottom is see through. This one got triple points for being the opposite. It is on sale now, but there is only one size left and the size I am wearing. It's the perfect piece for both spring and summer and I highly recommend it. I opted not to wear the belt this go around, but plan to wear a tank tucked in next time.
In other news, I am heading back to L.A. tomorrow for LuckyFABB. To be honest, I haven't planned a single outfit and didn't really go shopping for the two day conference. I just can't get it together, but know that procrastination works in my favor and it will all come together in the end. I can't wait to see my two roomies Jenn and Stesha and hug so many ladies that I feel like I have known for years because of blogging. Let me know if you plan on attending so we can meet up! I haven't been before, but hear it's an amazing time and a great networking experience. Plus, Nicole Richie is going to be one of the speakers. I cannot wait to see and hear what advice she has for all of us.
After the conference I am staying with one of my best friends in the entire world and plan to decompress with a little girl time and a late night chat session. Make sure to follow me on Instagram if you are interested. I will do my best to not be "that" girl and post ten times a day, but I can't make any promises.

LOVE this skirt on you!
Great skirt! I've never felt like I could pull off a maxi skirt or dress, but I would definitely give this one a try. It's beautiful and I love how you've styled it.
Beautiful skirt. Love that you dressed it down with the jacket and tshirt. And I'm totally with you on the lining- it needs to go all the way down!
I LOVE that color of that skirt. That shade always looks fantastic on you too! Have so much fun at LuckyFabb!!

Ooh, it is sooo tempting to get that last skirt on their site. I love Love Shopping Miami!

I too can't stand the skirts that are see through! Such a bummer when they turn out to be only half lined! You'll have a great time at Lucky FABB! Great learning and networking experience!! Have fun!!
This is one of my favorite outfits! Simple, but still well put together and I love the accessories!! Can't wait to meet you at Lucky Fabb!! I am so excited!!

I won a giftcard to Love Shopping Miami and this skirt has been in my cart since I won it! I keep waiting to see what they have for spring before cashing in on my prize. You make it look good!

I so wish I could rock a maxi. You look fabulous.
Safe travels! Enjoy!
Oh, I so agree with maxi skirt lining! Just make them match! haha I really love this look, I know it's simple, but it's classic and beautiful!
I personally love the laid back look. It's the less is more approach. And look at you and your Cali travels! I hope you have an awesome time and I would love to know how you prep to go to LuckyFabb! Like what do you always bring to blog networking events and how do you get over the initial awkwardness of meeting new people? I would love to hear your tips!
That skirt!! I used to have one similar but it took a trip to the consignment shop and I have been on the lookout for a new one!
Have SO much fun!!!
LOVE the skirt, you look fabulous! And that redic half lining is my pet peeve too! Can't stand it! Have fun in LA!
but see i LOVE this look, casual and beautiful. the colors are gorgeous! so to me it's perfect :)
I've always loved bright pink and teal together–the combo is just so fun! Have a blast at the conference! I can't wait to see what you wear :)
I love this outfit! It is simple, but so so cute. I love the pleated maxi. And I am super jealous you are going to LuckyFABB! I really wanted to go, but I wish they would announce them earlier so I can try to save my $! Maybe in the fall :) Have so much fun!

Perfect Spring outfit! The bright colors are so cute. I can't wait for warmer weather
I still need to get my hands on a great denim jacket. Maybe this year. That skirt isn't my color but I like the way the outfit goes together. I'd probably go with an orange. :)
I love how you paired the pink and turquoise together! I'll have to try this with my pink maxi when it's warm enough here :) Have an awesome time at Lucky FABB!

Great skirt! Love it, especially since it's fully lined!
I absolutely LOVE this outfit!!! This is something I could wear every day!
Loving the pink maxi!! I am so into maxi skirts it's not funny. I have a few that I'm waiting for in the mail as we speak.
I am usuually not a fan of anything pink, but I love this whole outfit! Even the bright pink skirt :)
There is such a nice, laid-back boho chic coolness to this outfit that it makes me want to take my maxi's out and my sandals and just go stroll around, antique shopping and stopping by a cute little coffee shop. <3<3 There is nothing wrong with effortless chic especially when it is done so tastefully like this outfit! I LOVE that skirt, accessories, and how at ease you look. Greatly done Shanna! XOXO, Elif @theboxqueen
It's such a simple and stylish outfit! The pink skirt is lovely.
