Color-blocking with fun, bright colors has been a nice trend for Spring. It's fun to pair things together that you wouldn't normally think of. This outfit is pretty preppy with the gingham button-up and the high-waisted shorts, but I loved adding these leopard sandals for an unexpected element.

This weekend went by so quickly. Partly because I spent most of Saturday in bed with the worst neck pain ever. I couldn't move my head in any direction. It was so miserable. Sunday I was feeling a lot better so Matthew and I spent most of the day looking for a new apartment. We're so sad to move out of our place, especially since we haven't even been here for a year. We were renting a privately-owned condo though, and the owners were foreclosed on. The bank has upheld our lease for the last 6 months of our lease, but it's up in July. Looking for a new place is no fun, but I'm hoping we end up finding a place we love even more!
I hope your weeks are off to a great start!

You just gave me some major inspiration! I have hot pink shorts that I cannot wait to pair with a lilac top! Hope your neck has gotten better!! xx, Allie
ReplyDeleteSo, so cute and fresh! Haven't seen a lot of colored shorts yet this year but I'm sure that I will! They look great with tucked-in gingham. Love!
ReplyDeleteLove your bag lady!
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for anything gingham! I probably wouldn't have thought to put these two colors together either but I really, really like it!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your place. That really does suck but that was nice of the bank to uphold your lease & not leave you stranded. Good luck on the hunt!
Love those shorts and those shoes!! You look so pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteLove those shorts and you look lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the color combination! I just got that same gingham top, and a pair of shorts that are a similar color, so I may have to wear them together.
ReplyDeleteThat sucks about having to move soon! While I love setting up a new home, apartment-hunting and packing are the worst :)
Ugh! I can't believe you have to move because the owners couldn't pay the bills :( Hopefully you find something wonderful! Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful are you?!! Omgosh you are gorgeous, love thhis outfit so effortless and casual. The sandals are amazing! Found you in hellocotton and I'm not following you. Love finding new blogs:)

My favorite thing about this outfit is how unexpected the different elements are from the mix of prints to the color blocking. Love it! I have a gingham yellow shirt and you've now inspired a few outfits with it!

You look adorable! I love the way you have contrasted leopard and checks in addition to colourblocking - brilliant! x
ReplyDeleteThose red high-waisted shorts are awesome. I love the mixed prints with the gingham top and leopard shoes. Very unexpected and cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great mix of colors & prints. The shoes are a great surprise indeed. Wishing you and your husband luck in finding a new place :)
