My Shopbop Shopping Cart

I've always been a big planner when it comes to fashion, even way before I started this blog.  I like to try and plan my outfits seasons in advance for specific trips or occasions - or at least get a general idea of what I'm going to be wearing.  Lately, I've had my mind on warm weather, trips to the beach, and one-pieces! Isn't that comforting knowing that one-pieces are so in again? Well, it doesn't quite mean you can just take it easy on the spring workout plan. These one-pieces are still sexy but have a more conservative approach to them than bikinis and I love it!

Black is always in style and one should always have a go-to little black dress in their closet.  Trust me, I am ALL about colorful clothes, pinks and teals, but sometimes the look of a classic black dress is all you need to feel confident and beautiful.  This past weekend, I was helping out with a good friend's wedding and was asked to wear a black dress.  Well, at the time, I really didn't have many black dresses and wasn't quite sure what to wear.  I ended up looking on Rent the Runway (as usual for these types of events) and wore this Trina Turk Sonoma Lace Laurel Dress. I loved the lace peplum detail and I felt different wearing all black and no pink or patterns.  It was a good different though.  There are so many gorgeous black dresses that I am loving this season especially this French Connection Crepe Frill Hem dress.  

Today, I have the day off work and plan on getting A LOT done around my apartment.  I am looking forward to this spring weather this week and am so happy that April is here.  April is actually a pretty non-busy month for me and I am pumped about it.

Thanks for reading!
