btd weekly round up featured photo april 4 2016 // view blog post for full outfit details and more outfits too!

Like I’m trying to do every Monday, I’m sharing this past week of instagram photos as well as a recap of what you might have missed on brightontheday.com. Let me know if you have any questions! And sorry this is late this morning, I came down with something nasty over the weekend – I’m actually in the doctor’s waiting room right this second :)

It pretty much rained ALL DAY on Wednesday here in Dallas, and I had to dress for the weather since I had quite a few errands to run that day and would be in the middle of it. I ended up braiding my hair because it got so drenched! And yes, I wore the same dress on Wednesday that  I wore on Monday – lol. What can I say, it really is such a great GO-TO!

Wednesday’s OOTD: Striped Dress (under $50! wearing size XS)  // Hunter Rain Boots (only come in whole sizes, i would size down since they tend to run big!) // 3.1 Phillip Lim Bag

Cognac Color Crush: Tory Burch Cross Body Bag // Tory Burch Sandals // Hinge Wedge Sandals

Friday morning I had a brunch at the Forty Five Ten “T Room”. I hadn’t ever been to this restaurant before but it was such a hidden gem – I’m sure I’ll go back! It’s actually a boutique with a restaurant in the back :)

Here’s another photo I took before heading over there but didn’t end up posting but I wanted to share here because you can see the skirt and shirt a little better.

Friday’s Brunch Outfit: Midi skirt // ruffled crop top blouse // chloe bag // earrings // shoes (less expensive version here)

fall outfit, utility jacket, cognac wedges, rolled up jeans, tory burch york tote, long gold pendant necklace, april outfit, september outfit

I guess the rain all day Wednesday brought in some cooler temps because Friday was FREEZING! I felt a little edgy even wearing these open toe shoes, but I think that these didn’t look as strange paired with the sweater and jacket because they’re almost like “shooties” in that they cover most of your foot! Do you know what I mean? I tried this outfit on with the wedges in the photo above (the cork ones) and they looked super silly because it looked like I was confused (spring on bottom and fall on top lol).

Outfit Details: Grey Sweater (wearing size XS) // Utility Jacket (under $70 – wearing size XS), Blue Jeans // Cognac Wedges (15% OFF) // Tory Burch York Tote (under $300 and fits my 15 inch laptop) // Long Gold Bar Necklace (only $18!)

On Saturday, I headed to Houston for the night so I could attend a baptism on Sunday morning. It was a super quick trip (a lot of driving though..) but it was nice because I got to see a few of my Houston friends Saturday night.

Unfortunately though, somewhere between Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon I got super sick :( and I woke up this morning even sicker. So I’m about to head to the minute clinic to get a shot maybe and some meds.

Saturday’s #OOTD: Pink button up blouse (linen blend, perfect for spring! wearing size US2) // grey jeans (LOVE these) // 3.1 Phillip Lim Mini Pashli // tory Burch flats (so comfortable and the color is PERFECT)

This is what I wore to the baptism and church before heading back to Dallas :)

Sunday’s #OOTD: Pink fit and flare dress (under $50) // blue heels // 3.1 Phillip Lim Mini Pashli //  Statement Necklace

On Tuesday, I talked ALL ABOUT what to wear (and how to wear) a flowy midi skirt. I think midi skirts are here to stay (at least for awhile), so I figured I should cover all the basics with you all and discuss the different kinds of midi skirts on the market. This post is the first of hopefully a few more covering the different styles. See the full post HERE
