Happy Friday, friends! A few days ago, I got to take Ava for a picnic at our local park to enjoy an afternoon out together. The weather could not have been more splendid. I packed all kinds of goodies that would be tasty for snacking/lunch time. There were berries, brie, crackers, a salad, macarons, and some wine. Ava even had her little lunch of formula too! She was asleep when we first got there, so I let her nap in the stroller while I set up with this gorgeous pink polka dot throw. It is seriously one of the softest blankets I've ever felt. Plus, its reversible making it like getting two throws for one. The cute fringe on the ends, along with the dot patter, puts such a big smile on my face. This was not planned, but did you see Ava's sun hat? It matches the blanket!

When I first saw this gingham top and short set, I thought wouldn't they look great together on a picnic!? I've been totally smitten with gingham lately, too. As I mentioned before, the print has that summery feeling and what is more summery than a fun filled picnic on a warm afternoon. What I love about a matching set is that I can wear each piece separately to create so many different outfits! The top is slightly cropped and has a boxy look to it. The shorts  are high waisted and super comfortable. They even have a retro vibe to them, which is right up my ally ;)

My two absolute favorite colors to pair together are blush and blue, or any form of them in pinks, blues, mints, you name it. I'm sure you've noticed that already! I also really love pairing a nice shirt underneath my sweaters for a preppy feeling and a little pop of color. This is one of my favorite blazers I own because it fits so perfectly and has sequins, which make everything better in my opinion. The colors play so well off of one another and the white sweater balances them out, plus keeps me warm in these frigid temperatures! I usually opt for flats or heels, choosing these tan booties instead, to keep a casual feel to the outfit with just a bit of "dressed up-ness," namely the blazer. Almost all of these pieces are from last season and are no longer available, but similar styles to shop are listed below. I know people usually love to shop a specific look, but I have so many pieces that sometimes an outfit becomes more of an inspirational look so to say.
