Good morning friends! I just love the mornings where I can see the sun rising and there isn’t a single cloud in the sky! We have had so much rain lately (especially on the weekends) that I haven’t really been able to just sit out and enjoy the sunshine. I know we need it and I am grateful for the rain since we have had drought summers the past few years, but I do love good quality deck time with friends and family. Luckily this past Sunday it was perfect and it has carried through so far this week and I for one am loving it.
After celebrating and spoiling mom most of the weekend (my mom gets double love because her birthday is always the same weekend as Mother’s day), Wes and I made it out to the pool for a few hours and then spent as much of our afternoon outside as possible. This amazingly dramatic gingham top was perfect for a little park bench sitting. It’s a wayyy off shoulder style. As I’m sure you can tell… I probably look topless in the shot of just my earrings, but it’s a super fun style with tiered gingham ruffles in three different colors. I totally felt like I was channeling traditional Spain with this silhouette but was still missing that major ruffle front skirt (stay tuned! I have since gotten my hands on a good one!!).
Another thing I’ve gotten my hands on: TWO SHOES!!! That’s right, as of last Friday, I am officially surgical boot free and have never been happier! Unfortunately, heels are a no go for a few more weeks (minus a low block heel every once in a while) so I’m living in my favorite sneakerdrilles until I can get back on my constant summer sandal high[t].
I hope you guys can get out and enjoy the sunshine today or at least eat lunch outside and get some vitamin D and fresh air to break up the work day. No time to leave your desk? Just take a mental break and shop my look and other gingham picks below and stop by the RH shop to get your hands on these bomb pearl tassel earrings!

Love the top and you styled it beautifully. I have to honestly say though; my eye was immediately drawn to your purse. I had the same one too many years ago to count and loved it!
What a fun top!! I’ve never seen anything like it! Perfect for spring and summer nights
I’m not sure I could pull off such a bold pattern and combo, but it looks really good on you! I’m just getting into the off-the-shoulder tops, and bought one at TJ Maxx the other day.
Oooh this has got to be the most unique of the gingham trend I’ve seen so far. You wear it really well. And definitely to channeling Spain?. Thanks for sharing!
I love an off-the-shoulder top, but could not do those large ruffles, haha! Kudos for being able to pull it off!
Such a cute top!!! Love it!
