If you've been following me for any length of time, you know I love everything southern! The styles, the decor and of course the gingham and monograms!

If you like the gingham print trend going on right now, but unsure you want an entire outfit in it, then opt for an accessory - a belt, scarf, headband, handbag or shoes. These options can become a statement piece for your outfit. 

If you're feeling adventurous, take a look at any one of the four tops I rounded-up below, pair them with a skirt, shorts, jeans or a solid colored pant. The tops are great on their own, but you could always pair them with a brightly colored blazer or sweater to make it really pop!

Loose, flowy tops and dresses are really hot and these gingham dresses are the perfect compliment. Add a cute elastic belt and/or an oversized hat and you have a super trendy, ultra fashionable outfit! Pair with shoes in the same shade or kick it up a notch and go with a bold shoe color to enhance the over all style or look. 

I'm loving the gingham trend and have definitely hopped on the band-wagon! Find all the below items linked in my liketoknow.it here

Did you hear the great news? Today is Groundhog day and Punxsutawney Phil - did NOT see his shadow, which means an early Spring! I am all for that!! Who's with me?

So I thought it would be the perfect time to head to Old Navy to do a try-on! I started with this pretty white spring top, which could very easily be wore into summer. 

{Sleeveless Ruffle Trim Top }

Affiliate links are included in this post, which means if you make a purchase using one of the links, I will earn a small commission, but it will not cost you one penny! But it does help to keep my website running. Thank you! The following is based strictly on my honest opinion. I only recommend products and brands I love and use personally. 

I am wearing a small, but definitely need to size down because the arm pit holes were too big and you could see the tunic I am wearing underneath. Since this top is low cut, I am wearing a solid white tunic under it. 

{Classic Ponte-Knit Blazer}

I paired the ruffle top with a classic navy blue blazer {I am wearing a small} to dress it up a bit. You could easily wear this to the office for casual Fridays and remove the blazer for happy hour. 

{Wrap-Front Side Tie Top}

This is one of my favorite tops of the try-on. It is very light weight and ties not only at the waist on the outside but also inside the shirt. It has a snap front on the v-neck part, which will help keep it closed. I wore the tunic again under this top, as it is a little low cut for office attire. This top would also be super cute with white shorts and a pair of Espadrilles!

{Classic Crew Neck Sweater}

This super cute green crew neck sweater fits really tight on the sleeves, so if you don't like that, you may want to size up. I am wearing an XS. I like the color details on the wrists and bottom of the sweater. 

{Football Style Tee}

I really like this tee! So perfect for the big game this weekend or for any outdoor spring sports! I felt it was a little long and boxy in the front so I simply did a front tuck for a more polished look. 

{Slim Fit Bracelet-sleeve Tee}

This navy and white striped shirt is soooo soft and comfty, I didn't want to take it off! It does fit true to size, I am wearing an XS and it fits perfect. Take a look at my Insta-stories for another way to wear this outfit! 

And that is a wrap, friends! It was cold and damp here today, so the white turtleneck was a must! *wink

I have had a few people ask where my booties are from! I purchased them here! You can find full videos of today's try-on in my insta-stories under Old Navy Try-on tab! 

**For reference: I am 5'5" and 102 lbs**

Let me know where you want me to go for my next try-on! I don't yet have Like to Know It, so all the direct links are here for you!

Happy Friday friends! Welcome to this weeks Fab Friday Finds!

Affiliate links are included in this post, which means if you make a purchase using one of the links, I will earn a small commission, but it will not cost you one penny! But it does help to keep my website running. Thank you!


I don't know about you, but I am so ready for Spring! The weather here in Dallas has been so cold, it almost feels as cold as Colorado! OK maybe not, but it has been super cold here lately! We normally don't see long cold spells, but February is one of the coldest months, although is it supposed to be in the 70s today! I will take it!

As I start planning my wardrobe for spring, I can't help but pick out some new finds along the way! I always purchase a few new pieces each season! Do you do that? I like to keep my closet up today with a few essential items. Shoes are always a must! If you know me, I LOVE shoes!! I have more shoes than anything else in my closet - no really! So I am loving these See by Chloe and Marc Fisher espadrilles!

To get me through the end of winter and into spring, when the days are warmer but the nights are still on the chilly side, I find myself living in my skinny jeans! These jeans are by my go-to pair!

Since the days are warmer, I love wearing lighter weight tops like this ruffle sleeve and this off the shoulder top! They are perfect for a girls luncheon or to run errands! Don't forget they look great with your favorite pair of skinny jeans and super cute heels - think date night! *wink*

My favorite lip color is this duo by NARS they pair nicely and I love wearing shades of pink and red during the spring and summer months. Don't forget to protect your eyes as the suns gets warmer and brighter as we get closer to summer! I love my Aviators!

Are you looking forward to the warmer months ahead and do you have any fab finds you would like to share?

I hope you have a great weekend! Ours is filled with sporting activities and birthday parties!

I'd like to introduce a new friend of mine ~ she is one of the fabulous women I met at SITS Bloggy Boot Camp Denver, this past September. To read the post, click here.  

Her name is Natalia of Ma Nouvelle Mode!! 

Welcome Natalia & thank you so much for being here with us today!!

 

Hi BellaGrey Design readers!!  It is so lovely to be here, thank you Jennifer for asking me to guest post! For those of you who don't know me, my name is Natalia and I blog over at Ma Nouvelle Mode. If you are wondering what that means, it is French for 'my new style.' Now you are probably wondering "why French?" Well, it just so happens that I am living here in France with my husband and two boys. My husband plays basketball here, and the boys and I are his biggest fans! Over at my place, you can find a mix of fashion, beauty, hair, makeup, and of course some of our crazy life of traveling the globe. But today with Christmas upon us, I thought I would do a post on holiday beauty ideas! Here are a few tips of mine for you to mix it up a bit and feel beautiful for all those holiday parties I am sure you get to attend!

 1.)  Try a bold lip!  I am not sure if this is out of your comfort zone or not, but it is such a small thing, putting on lipstick, and it adds so much!!  Nervous about wearing red?  Try a hot pink or a deep purple.  You can jazz up a simple outfit with just a lipstick!  Doesn't that sound great?

2.)  Sequins!  I put together this outfit below on Polyvore.  If you haven't heard of Polyvore, it's soooo fun.  I think this outfit could be casual or fancy, whatever you need it to be!  You could wear your hair sleek and straight or some big sexy curls parted to the side with the headband showing on the side with less hair.

holiday outfit by manouvellemode featuring mid heels I said this was my holiday outfit, but that's kinda a lie.  I wish this was my holiday outfit.  I wouldn't wear those heels (I am 6 feet tall, I would be huge!)  

3.) Try something fun and different with your hair!  I know that a lot of us ladies get into a routine that works for us and then rarely change it.  I want to challenge you to try something new with your hair.  I have quite a few hair tutorials on my blog, but try some big sexy curls, braids, buns, there are so many options! 

 Here are some ideas using braids.

4.) Prepare!  Sounds easy right?  It is!  I don't know about you, but there has been multiple times when I had an outfit in my head and it was just perfect.  I thought I was gonna be turning heads left and right.  Then the day came to wear said outfit and after putting it on I realized my mind had deceived me!  Take some time to prepare exactly what you want to wear, shoes to jewelry, a couple days ahead and you will be good to go! Less stress, that's for sure! Thank you so much for letting me come visit today!  I hope you enjoyed my few tips, now go get beautified for those parties!!

  

Thank you so much, Natalia, I enjoyed the tips & I hope all of you did too!!

Have a Super Great Day!!!!

xoxo,
