Picture heavy, word light post today. I wore this outfit to brunch with my lady friends & it was one of those ensembles that I just felt GREAT in, for no reason in particular. Some how the combination of these pieces just clicked.

Speaking of brunch… The Nashville brunch scene is ON POINT these days… add South to your must-try list, the bottomless bloody's are the beginning to your next Sunday Funday.

Also, what are we calling these shoes? Mules? Shooties? Peep toe booties? This is like the shoe version of that that confusing wine/oxblood/cranberry color debacle of a few years ago!

Doing what I do best… 'gramming! Do you follow along with my Instagram? It will be honeymoon style central here in just a few days!

P.S. Please take a second to vote for me in the Levi's short styling competition! It would be a wonderful wedding present from you guys to win… not-so-subtle hint hint!

a little bit county

My friend Rachel & I thought that it would be fun to show our readers outfits that are a little bit of each of us. Me in Nashville & here in New York City.

Rachel used to live in Nashville & we almost met one time, except she never made it because she was hit by a truck (true story).

She now lives in The Big Apple & we will have to remain online friends, for now!

What I like about Nashville, is that no matter where you go, someone will be dressed in sweatpants & someone else spiffied up to the nines... no dress code needed!

This is my Nashville weekend look - perfect for going from brunch with the girls, popping into work, running errands, and walking the dogs. Leopard makes it fancy!

See, we aren't all rhinestone cowboys!

{ What I Wore: J.Crew chambray shirt & knit pants // Madewell leopard skimmers // Old Navy utility vest (similar) }

I have only been to the Big City for one brief day, with bucket list plans to go again one day!
But when I think of women in New York City - walking miles in heels, hailing cabs, hoofing it up to a 5th floor studio, spending $10 for a cup of coffee - those are superwomen (hence the double cuffs).

So my vision of a NYC weekend look is feminine, but tough, with fierce heels & a purse big enough to conceal my flats in!

{ What I Wore: J.Crew chambray shirt // Old Navy pencil skirt // Nine West leopard pumps (similar) // Wallis gold cuffs // Hobo purse }

Be sure to check out the looks that Rachel is rocking here

(I am obsessed with her "country" outfit, I think that means she needs to move back, right!?) 

Does where you live have a "dress code"? A certain look?

Are you more Nashville? Or NYC?

P.S. Don't worry, I am a card carrying Nashvillian - my cowboy boots are prominently displayed in my shoe rack!
