Gingham Ruffles & Dublin Ivy // Ireland Day Seven

Sweater: Topshop // Jeans: Rag & Bone {altered} // Boots: Public Desire // Bag: Stella McCartney // Watch (℅): VOTCH // Bracelets (℅): SugarFix by BaubleBar

These photos are from my last day in Ireland, which was about two weeks ago.  I'm missing gorgeous Dublin so much, for everything from the weather to the lovely streets like this one.  This sweater is something I picked up at Topshop on St. Stephen's Green in Dublin.  I love the gingham ruffled cuffs and hem in the bag.  It's such a perfect piece for spring, especially if you live somewhere that's a little colder this time of year.  

I've been loving this jewelry that was gifted from me by SugarFix, Baublebar's new affordable collection at Target.  This layering set of dainty little bracelets are seriously my favorite new pieces of jewelry and I've been wearing them with everything.  Right now, SugarFix is actually having a sale  from May 7-13 online and in Target stores for 20% off your purchase!  If you're a fan of Baublebar jewelry, you'll definitely love SugarFix and I'd totally recommend checking our the collection. 

Carissima Lace Pencil // Dressed Down

Dress (worn as skirt): Anthropologie {last seen here} // Sweater: Madewell {similar} // Shoes: Lulu's // Bag: Celine 'Nano' dupe by Dailylook // Lips: Tarte 'Bae' // Bracelets: Swarovski bracelet and lariat bracelet

One of my most popular posts last year was this outfit wearing the Byron Lars "Carissima" lace sheath from Anthropologie.  I love that dress- it's so unique and classic, but like most cocktail/formal dresses, there's not really much you can do to style it in different ways.  For some reason I got the idea to layer on a cozy, loose sweater over the skirt.  This Madewell funnel-neck cotton sweater is so comfy and I loved the more relaxed vibe it brought to the outfit {mine is old but I linked a similar option above}.  I also added on these black vegan suede bow heels from Lulu's!

I'm so ready for the weekend- this week is dragging by and the only thing that's getting me through it is tea and the promise of a relaxing weekend.  No major plans- just going out with my best friend tomorrow night to go see Get Out (let me know if anyone's seen it!) and catching up on some work for the rest of the weekend.  Do you have any plans?

Hello, Stardust.

Cardigan: Ann Taylor {similar} // Collared Sweater: Ted Baker // Skirt: Urban Outfitters // Shoes: J. Crew Factory  // Bag: Celine 'Nano' dupe by Dailylook // Watch (℅): VOTCH // Sunglasses (℅): SICKY Eyewear // Lips: Tarte 'Bae'

Leave it to me to make my post title for this outfit into a Star Wars reference.  I went to go see Rogue One in theaters this week and I was not disappointed.  I make a habit of getting way too emotionally attached to fictional characters, especially in Star Wars movies.  To sum up the movie without spoilers, I'll just say that it was bittersweet.  But overall, the movie was amazing and it's a must see if you loved The Force Awakens.  

This stardust cardigan from LOFT is embellished with pearls and crystals on a grey cotton knit, and I couldn't resist pairing it with some extra sparkle in the form of this collared Ted Baker sweater from last year.  I know I wore this skirt in the last outfit post, but I just love it and I've been wearing it non-stop.

Lace on Lace // Bougainvillea Garden

Top: Forever 21 (similar here, and this tank here)      Skirt: H&M      Shoes: Wills London ℅     Necklace: J. Crew {similar}     Sunglasses: SICKY Eyewear ℅   Bag: 88 ℅ 

This blush pink lace crop top is something I bought with no particular vision in mind, I just knew I loved it (unfortunately it's no longer available, but I linked two similar ones above).  If you know me, you know that blush pink is my favorite color.  I knew I wanted to work this into some kind of formal outfit with a long skirt, and I thought, why not pair it with more lace?

I'm a huge fan of mixing prints, especially the same prints, so lace on lace seemed fair game.  I wanted to add a little sparkle and something to draw attention away from the cami underneath, so I layered on this floral lattice J. Crew necklace and just added on simple extras: my favorite 88 vegan bag, my favorite pair of shoes (from Wills Vegan Shoes), and my new go-to tort sunglasses.

I'm just starting to plan some holiday posts that will be coming soon to LMHC in the next two months, and I'm so excited to share them with you.  Hope everyone has had a wonderful weekend so far!
