May 2014 Reflections and Top 3 Looks.

This post is coming a lot later than usual, but I have had a very busy June. The blog has been taking more of a backseat these last couple of weeks. I happen to think that despite the days being longer, we are busier in the Summer. I also recapped my 30 for 30 challenge late. So anyway, better late than never.

In May, I posted 24 times, which give or take it means I took a whole week off from blogging - much necessary. (As I have mentioned before, I try not to let blogging make me tired and I rarely schedule posts ahead due to time.) Not counting the 3 Outfits (left over) from the 30 for 30 challenge, I showed you guys 22 Outfits, and there were 4 two-fer posts. There were 3 posts where I didn't show any OOTDs at all. Vivian made some appearances but not as many as before. It is hard taking photos of here lately. She is always running around. We had a few cold days in May so you saw the last of my Sweaters and Boots in a couple of Outfits. When the weather started warming up you saw a lot of Dresses, some Skirts and Ballet Flats, Sandals and Wedges for Footwear. As a SAHM, I usually have more Casual Outfits in this blog (since that's what I wear daily), but in May it was about half and half, since I showed you just as many Dressy Outfits. I wore a lot of my Dresses with Pumps, also. You saw a Lot of Blazer as well and Blues + Nautical Stripes were popular for my May Outfit Resume. My New Olive Cargo Pants were remixed twice (in a two-fer post). Some other items you saw more than once were my Anchor Chambray Shirt, as well as some of my Favorite Handbags like my New Red MK Tote, my New Gold Elliot Lucca Tote and my Windowpane Clutch. However my most favorite of all was my Birthday Post where I showed you a New Dress (that Outfit happens to be my Most Favorite of the month) and even invited 6 of my favorite bloggers to Style some Dresses for me. It was such a Fun and Fashionable Post. 

And speaking of Guests and Collaborations, my main collaboration in May (continuing through June) was with the Sweet and Lovely Amy Ann with which I did our Spring Must Haves which was a lot of fun and one of my favorite blogger collaborations thus far. I kicked off my Birthday Month co-hosting Tres Chic Thursday with the Pretty and Fashionable Mamma Agnes. Then later in the month I co-hosted Stylish Tuesday with the Sassy, Stylish and Sexy Paige. They were two very fun link-ups. I adore both of these ladies' styles and I am a regular follower of their blogs. Join their link-ups if you don't already. There was a Special Mother's Day Post in the last month too, where I invited two Favorite Mother-to-Be Bloggers Londyn and Laura. Check out their blogs as well. These ladies are gorgeous and have incredible style. I bet their little baby girls will follow in their footsteps.

Overall I had a great month of Outfits in May, it was hard choosing these favorites. There were a couple of Outfits that I liked less but I didn't hate any overall, so I am just showing the Top 3 Looks (in my ranking of how I liked them) and a few more (in no order). Enjoy and Thank You for reading Ladies. Enjoy the Rest of the Weekend!!

1. My Birthday Dress 2014.

I love this dress first and foremost. I love the 2 different sizes of the Classic/Neutral  Houndstooth Print (one of my Most Favorite Prints). I love the Patten-Mixing I did with my Windowpane Clutch and Python Pumps, keeping it Monochrome still. The Jewelry added Sparkle but I kept it Pretty Simple. This was a favorite among yours, too.

2. Cobalt Blue Faux Wrap Dress.

This was another New Dress that I wore in May. It has one of my Favorite Colors of the moment - Cobalt and it is in a Classic Silhouette - Wrap Style. I love the length of the Dress which would make it perfect for work too (not just date night - what I wore it to) and I love that it has long sleeves. A Beaded Lariat Necklace and Silver Pave Bracelet was all I needed to accessorize with and the Nude Pumps were perfect for it. I wore this as "The Statement Dress" for our "Spring Must Haves" series.

3. Watercolor Hi-Lo Dress and Bow Floppy Hat.

I styled this 'borrowed' Dress for a Horse Racing Event using my Favorite, Beautiful, Big Floppy Hat. The Teal of the Hat picked up the Greens of the Dress. I added Colorful Bracelets, Necklace, Clutch and Rainbow-Striped Wedges which also matched all the other Colors of the Dress. It ended up being a Super Colorful and Bold Outfit but it was Girly and Fun.

4. Nautical Blues Polished Up.

5. Polka Dot Sheath with Splashes of Green and Neon.

6. Striped Nautical Blazer, Graphic Tee and Black Jeans.

7. Python Wrap Dress and Mustard Wedges.

8. Pleated Striped Girly Skirt and Baby Pink Cropped Cardi.

Which are your 2-3 Favorite Outfits from above? Let me know. =)

P.S. Linking up with Carolyn, Claire, Doranda, Laura, Leeann, Molly, Patti, Saumya and Shea.
