Now that we’re in the second week of August I’m starting to experience the same sadness I did as a kid when the summer was wrapping up and it was time to go back to school. Only instead of school, I’m getting ready to go back to work after almost 7 months off!

Spring dresses are my absolute favorite. After a long winter they just seem so fresh and I’m always excited to wear them when the weather permits. I got this one last week and couldn’t wait to put it on…. but that may be because most days I’m in workout clothes now #momlife.

As of Monday it’s officially spring and I couldn’t be happier. Flowers are blooming, the weather has been so beautiful – although we might get more rain – and I’m celebrating in wedges and a maxi dress. This dress was really the solution to my late pregnancy woes when nothing was fitting.

Happy Friday! Coming off a vacation and going back to work is never easy, even when it’s just a quick weekend getaway. But we made it to the weekend and I’m excited for a couple days with nothing on the schedule. I took a bunch of pictures in Palm Springs and wanted to share. It’s one of my favorite places to relax so I usually only pack the basics. Coverups and cutoffs were pretty much on repeat all weekend.

I actually received a few new coverups towards the end of the summer and never got a chance to wear them. This red tasseled one from Eberjey is so soft and perfect for pool side lounging and I’m just as obsessed with this embroidered one from Chicwish.

It might be fall according to the calendar, but I’m still over here sweating like it’s mid-July. One thing I’ve tried to adapt recently is to dress for the season not the weather. This can be tricky when it’s technically autumn but temps are above 100 degrees. My solution? Pick pieces appropriate for the weather in colors for the season. I tried to follow that here with this blue maxi dress but it might be a little more summer than fall. I think I made up for it with my cognac accessories. So while I’m still wearing open-toed sandals, I’m feeling a little more ready for the pumpkin patch.
