Tara Colleen: 2013

Sporty Neon Moto

I love a good trend, especially one that comes back around that I was smart enough to hold on to!

Remember when moto jeans were a must have??

every who's who in the world of celebrity owned a pair, so of course I had to get me some!

flash forward 4 years and they're makin a comeback!!

its not quite the necessity it was when I originally purchased them, but they are definitely making their presence known (mostly in leather) and I have always had a soft spot for these babies!

throw in a pop of neon and wedge sneakers and were officially trendy!

i was feelin' a bit sporty (insert british accent here) in my get-up so i thought i'd try some new styling with my hair to pull the look together.

mi madre was convinced a straight blowout with full bangs would look chic, so here's to you ma . . .

i finally gave in and i must say, im diggin' it!

probably not for my day to day (i am a bed head kinda girl, afterall,

but i do like a sleek look every now and then)

have a happy healthy new year!!

Goin to the Chapel and we're . . . .

gonna wear leopard and oxblood of course!!

I (like most girls) LIVE for a good reason to dress up! (or any reason for that matter)

sunday falls under my most favorite day of the week for many reasons

it's usually a pretty lazy morning with lattes in bed (to refuel my energy), followed by Church! (to replenish my soul), then lunch (to fill my tummy), and an unplanned afternoon of family fun!!

(to bask in the glowing love of my boys)

so unlike most sundays,

we took our well dressed butts to the pews

and got ourselves some good ole southern Baptist preachin'

followed by some delicious country home cookin'
it was the perfect ending to our Christmas week!

conservative is key when dressing for church

i'm forever a separates girl,

and I tend to have a hard time finding dresses long/appropriate enough for church

so I usually opt for a skirt and blouse

I literally buy every midi/bodycon skirt I find they're classic, sexy, easy to pair and thanks to the current trends, super easy to find!

dress it down with a rocker tee and booties or a crop top for a night out!

have a blessed and fashionable day!

gathered up all my boys for a beautiful afternoon in our gorgeous city of Charleston, SC
the weather could not have been more perfect!
I looked crisp and clean for about 5 minutes, but it was worth it for an afternoon with all 3 of my loves!

Mellow in our Neon Yellow

back to the ball field for another fun filled afternoon of football!!

Nix and I were all matchy matchy in our bright skinnies!

I cant help myself, I literally have to wear something denim everyday!!
a chambray shirt is such an easy pairing with colored skinnies.
I usually opt for the sloppy tuck, but it felt like a 1 sider kinda day.
