Navy Stripes With Coral

I am so tired! This past weekend was my birthday weekend, and you know how that goes. We had to eat all the food and do ALL the activities. After brunching twice, walking a lot, eating more than my fill of Hopddody, playing Topgolf, and paddle boarding on the river I was exhausted come Sunday night. Then, we took our friend who was in town helping with the floods to Patrizi's, this amazing Italian food truck here in Austin, and sat there chatting for four hours. (Oh, and saw Zoe Deschanel too, but that's another story for another time:))   After our 4 hour chat, we realized that it was super late and we had to drive him all the way back down to Wimberely and then drive ourselves home. Needless to say, I was barely functioning on Monday morning. Then, to top it all off, my sister, her husband, their 3 kids and 2 dogs all came down on Monday night and stayed until Wednesday morning. Obviously we had to stay up late chatting and get no sleep again. So, last night was spent catching up on orders for my shop and relaxing. <sigh> It's always so much fun to have people in town and sad to see them go, but I am fully ready for a weekend of doing not much.  I'm hoping to get a little bit of painting done around our house this weekend, and that's about it. Let's hope it's as relaxing as I'm thinking it will be:)  Get The Look:  Ross Striped Maxi  //  Statement Necklace from Rocksbox  //  Charming Charlie Clutch, Belt, & Texas Bracelet  //  Target Sunglasses & Sandals  //  JORD Wooden Watch  This dress was a winner for sure. I got it for $12 at Ross and I have already worn it multiple times. I love the lace detail and I LOVE this necklace with it. It's my first purchase from a Rocksbox and I am SO in love with it! Side braids have been my go to hair style recently with all of this rain and humidity. I am so bummed at how this summer has started out. Usually by now it's in the 90's and beautiful every day and so far we've just had a lot of rain and humidity. Now, I can't really complain because this rain is getting us out of the drought, but I want to see some sunshine for more than a week! Haha! Oh well, I live in Texas...it will be absolutely beautiful in another week or so and there won't be a cloud in the sky for months:)  Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far and has a beautiful weekend! Thanks for stopping by!  PS: You can get your first Rocksbox for free with code

Horizontal Stripes Are Not The Enemy

Black and white striped skirtHi Lovelies!

Here’s to hoping that today is a better day than yesterday in terms of EVERYTHING. It was just one of those days yesterday. I was so unproductive…I am going to blame the weather. When it’s gloomy and cold outside Megan doesn’t do very well with motivation. Everything was just off yesterday: the weather was awful, my ankle hurt, I didn’t feel very good, it was just a blah day. Heres to a better day today! Woohoo!

I really wasn’t excited about this skirt when I tried it on because of the whole ‘horizontal stripes make you look fat’ thing, but I am really glad I didn’t listen to my instincts this time! I love this skirt! It’s really comfortable for a pencil skirt and it goes with pretty much anything. If you remember a while ago I styled it here with a polka dot shirt and some yellow accessories and it looked fab then too!  I would totally wear this look with some black tights and a cardigan for work, or as is to go out with the girls on Friday night:) Versatile outfits are my best friend:)

How would you style a striped pencil skirt?
