Featured Outfit: Go Tigers!

As I mentioned in my previous post, I attended the Clemson-NC State baseball series in Raleigh this past weekend. The Friday game was cold (temps in upper 30's) the Saturday game was significantly warmer (temps in mid 50's), and the Sunday game was even warmer (temps in upper 60's). I took advantage of the spring-like weather on Sunday and wore my orange Lilly Pulitzer Cassie dress sans tights. My South Carolina Murfee scarf made an appearance in this ensemble as well. The print has some orange in it, so I really like how it looks with a solid orange dress. It was a beautiful day to be outside cheering on my Tigers. I definitely got some sun!

Dress: Lilly Pulitzer Cassie Dress; Scarf: Lilly Pulitzer South Carolina Murfee; Boots: Ariat; Earrings: Sheila Fajl Jewelry; Watch: Michael Kors; Bracelet: Handmade by my aunt!

Go Tigers!

Featured Outfit: I Love South Carolina

I have lived the majority of my life in North Carolina, and love so many things about the Tar Heel State. However, I went to college in South Carolina, and also lived there for a little less than three years as a post-college 20-something. As much as I enjoy life in NC, I miss SC very much and go back frequently to visit some of my dearest friends. When Lilly first introduced the Murfee scarves in six different state prints back in Fall 2012, I asked for the North Carolina one for Christmas. However, last summer I decided I needed the South Carolina Murfee too, because the print kept becoming more and more beautiful to me, and I realized more and more how much my time living in South Carolina shaped me as a person. I bought the SC Murfee in August 2014 when Lilly did a gift with purchase promotion. Here's how I styled it when I wore it to church about a month ago. It was an unseasonably warm February day, so I didn't need tights.

I also like how the SC print has some orange in it, which would look great with an orange top to support my Clemson Tigers! I'm a lifelong UNC Tar Heels fan, but have grown to love Clemson too, thanks to a dear friend who I met in SC who is a hard core Clemson fan!

Featured Outfit: Peppermint Stripes

I am way behind on winter Featured Outfit posts. Winter is almost over, thank goodness! As much as I dislike the cold weather, I still manage to put together some ensembles that I enjoy wearing. I wore the following back in December 2014, when I visited one of my best friends for a weekend of Christmas-y fun. This striped sweater was great to wear during the Christmas season because the pink and green stripes made me feel like a piece of peppermint candy. Depending on the weather, it could also be a great top for St. Patrick's Day in a couple weeks.

Outfit Details:

Top: Lilly Pulitzer Maria Sweater; Jeans: Joe's; Shoes: Tory Burch Silver Reva Flats, Necklace: Lilly Pultizer Goodie Goodie Necklace; Earrings: Sheila Fajl "Everybody's Favorite Hoop"; Watch: Michael Kors; Bracelets: Kate Spade Idiom bangles

Friday Five

Happy Friday! It's been another week of crazy winter weather in the South. I am linking up again with A. Liz Adventures for another Friday Five. Here are a few things I'm loving this week:

1. Southern Snow

This past Wednesday night it snowed several inches, which is A LOT for central North Carolina. I am not a fan of cold weather and winter, but I enjoy a rare event like this! The snow started a little after 9:00pm and just kept coming down. I enjoyed watching it fall and was so excited I didn't go to bed until almost 3:00am! This picture was taking from my balcony at around 12:30am, but it looks like daytime because the sky is so white and there is illumination from street lights. I had a snow day from work on Thursday. Stay tuned for a snow day recap post!

2. Lilly Pulitzer Madeline Sunglasses

I bought these fun Lilly Pulitzer sunglasses in the Hotty Pink First Impression print back in the fall and have worn them a lot over the past couple weeks. They provide a pop of brightness to this frigid winter weather we have been experiencing in NC lately.

3. South Carolina Pendant Necklace

I'm a North Carolina girl, but South Carolina holds a special place in my heart. The Palmetto State is my other home, since I went to college there, lived there for a few years post-college, and have dear friends who live there whom I frequently visit. I have a North Carolina pendant necklace like this, but recently decided I needed the South Carolina one too. I ordered mine from Lydia Lister Jewelry. I met Lydia through my former Bible Study leader who is a second mom to me. She is so sweet and has awesome customer service. Lydia sells multiple brands of jewelry, and many of the pieces she carries are under $30! Check out her website as well as her Instagram (@lydialisterjewelry). She will often post pieces on Instagram before they are available on her website, so I encourage following her!

4. Kate Spade Mug

I found this adorable pink Kate Spade mug at my TJ Maxx right before Thanksgiving. It has gotten a lot of use over the past week or so as the snow and frigid temperatures have increased my hot chocolate consumption!

5. Lauren James ASAP Sweet Tee

I want to show off another one of the super comfy long-sleeved Sweet Tees I got from the big Lauren James sales a few weeks ago. The coral color is very pretty, and I love the As Southern As Possible design on the back.

Hope y'all have a great weekend. Hang in there- just a few more weeks until spring!
