Hello everyone! And happy Wednesday!
As you’re reading this, I am spending the day in Amsterdam! My cousin and her husband are out for a visit and since we live only a couple hours from there we thought we’d take a little day trip. I am so excited. The last time I was in Amsterdam I was 15 years old. I had a chance to go to Anne Frank’s house and turned it down. What can I say? Stupid teenager I guess. But I have that chance again and after reading her diary and wising up a little bit, we’re going! I’ll try to take pictures to share with you all later.
But for now we have to talk some fashion! Ilene from Much Love, Illy got to challenge us last week and I loved her choice! Floral! It’s such a fun way to brighten up your winter wardrobe.
I was actually pretty proud of myself. Not only did I look into my closet to find something I wouldn’t normally wear, I actually took outfit pictures at a park we happened to be at! Bam!!
This outfit is actually kind of paisley but it has a floral pattern on it as well so I think that counts, right? You’re gonna die, it’s actually a swim suit pull over thing but I think it’s pretty so I wear it as a top sometimes! Oh and don’t be fooled, it was freezing. I just took my jacket off for the pictures and then jumped right back in it!
Now for the adorbs Ilene and her outfit challenge:
Love it! She’s always cute and you have to read about her recent elopement to her hubby, so cute!
If you’d like a weekly style challenge right to your inbox to help you try new things or get out of a fashion rut, we’d love to have ya! You can sign up here:
Now for those of you with amazing outfits, floral or not, to show off! Guess what, we want to see them! Kelley & I get so excited scrolling through all the links and we know you do too because we see it in our outgoing traffic! Last week alone on just my blog I saw 186 click throughs, that’s not even including Kelley’s! I love it!
So link up your fashion related post here, at The Grant Life, or at Much Love, Illy’s and have fun being inspired!

Love your floral paisley top! Never would have guessed it was a cover up. I now have another look that I will be on the look out for.
Thank you! I am trying to be creative with outfits!
you both look adorable …
Thank you!
I love copycat closet! Floral is a great challenge to try regardless of the season and I loved your outfit (totally thought it was a top). I love your hair articles too – more for short hair please
I’m working on it for sure!!
