Field Day

Opening Day is Here

In honor of opening day for Major League Baseball, which is my hands down favorite sport to watch, I thought I'd dedicate a post to it.  Rule number one in going to a baseball game, come prepared.  This can be very different depending on the the time of day of the game and the time of the year.  For instance the outfit that I created below would be more for an afternoon game for this time of year in LA (L.A is my favorite team so I'm pretending that's where I'm going).  However, if this would be a night game, always, always, always bring a jacket, no matter where you are.  I have gone to my fare share of games, throughout the states and one thing I know of is that it always cools off at night and being cold and stuck at a game is not fun.  

The second rule, which is something my mother preaches religiously, put sunscreen on.  This goes hand-in-hand with the come prepared rule, but this is probably the most important thing you do not want to forget.  

Another little tip would be to look at the weather forecast a couple days before and also the day of, because those summer rain storms can be pretty spontaneous sometimes.  

The last thing is to just enjoy yourself.  A baseball game is great activity for friends, or family to go to and just spend time with one another without agenda or schedule.  Just enjoy the atmosphere and your company.  

Spring Fever

It's Spring but still not Summer 

Although according to our calendars it's spring but clearly the weather has not been informed, especially here in the Midwest.  So even though you may still have your shorts and tank tops still out from Spring Break, you may not be wearing them here for a little while.  Because the temperatures are so inconsistent I wanted to create a look that allows for early spring (or my version of mild winter).  You may not want to trade those layering pieces for t-shirts and shorts just yet.  

Because it is still pretty chilly out and has only warmed up a little bit (a little is better nothing),  I wanted to create an outfit that gets you out of those chunky, sad winter clothes and has a little more of a spring vibe to it.  

The light washed jeggings and cardigan are light and bright which I personally feel can really put you in the Spring mode.  However, this is a practical look because while looking cute is nice, looking cute while still being warm is a lot nicer.  Therefore, the cardigan is thick and the long-sleeve underneath add warmth as opposed to the regular layering tank or V-neck.  The leopard scarf also protects the neck and face from some of the bitter wind (I know I've experienced).

This is just an idea of a Spring look for when the temperatures are still a little low but you still want look cute and fashionable.
