After finding out last week that I will only be able to pack two large suitcases and a carry on for my semester abroad this fall I had a bit of a panic attack. I know I'm crazy for worrying about packing for a trip that is four months away, but that's what happens when you are really attached to your clothes. 

I also have a pretty in cohesive wardrobe, meaning a lot of different neutrals and colors that don't really go together. The amount of pieces I have that only work in two or three specific outfits is kind of ridiculous, and those aren't the kinds of things I can bring with me to Madrid. So my focus for the next few months is to ensure that everything I buy can be worn in about a million different ways. One of the easiest ways to do this is to stick to a good color palette of neutrals. While black and navy can work together picking one dark neutral and then adding whites, creams, and cognac (which goes with everything). I'll definitely be expanding the black section of my wardrobe with lots of fun stripes and pretty cuts. 

Also, happy May! I'm officially in summer mode, even though the weather is not really cooperating. Crossing my fingers that the April showers are officially over. Seriously, bring on the sun!

Happy Monday! While almost never is Monday a happy day today is the exception. My sister and I are spending the week in Connecticut by the ocean and I can't wait to indulge in some much needed relaxing and exploring. Check out my instagram to follow along!

While I know I can't stop talking about the heat I'm going to mention it again. Highs are supposed to be in the mid 90s all week and all I can think about is cool fall mornings. The heat is bringing me back to classic easy (and light) pieces, such as some of my favorite black and white staples.

 I love pairing classic tops with fun patterned bottoms while still keeping it all neutral. That being said the pants on the left aren't very realistic for 90 degree weather, though they will be perfect when fall starts to set in. Since it is still summer I thought bright bold bags were the perfect addition to the otherwise neutral looks. Switching the bold bags out for a burgundy blazer or cardigan over either of these outfits would also be a great way to transition into the chillier months ahead
