What a whirlwind June has been! It’s hard to believe we’re already almost half way through the month. I know that I was pretty MIA for a few weeks – it was just one of those times where I felt like I was doing everything I could to keep my head above the water and finding time to write a blog post was just not in the cards, unfortunately. In 8 days, I was on 4 different flights, drove over 200 miles, slept in 5 different hotels/lodging situations (aka. the dorm) and attended my 5 year college reunion. Needless to say, it was a crazy week, but I could not have asked for anything better. I was able to see so many friends, including some I had not seen since we threw out caps up to celebrate the end of our journey as college students.

Then to top it all off, the TONY Awards were on Sunday! If you don’t know, the TONY Awards are somewhat of a sacred holiday in my house….hehe. But seriously, I love going to the theater because it allows me to explore the stories of others and to see life from a different perspective. And the TONY Awards are a celebration of these stories and the amazing performances that make these stories more relatable. I loved watching the show this year because I was fortunate to see a lot of the musicals nominated and loved being able to make my predictions for each award armed with more information.

So after a week and a half of pure frenzy, I’m trying to get back in to the swing of my normal routine….including writing blog posts again. 😀

This gingham off the shoulder dress from ASOS has been one of my go-to wardrobe staples as it starts to warm up here in Houston. As y’all know, I am a sucker for anything and everything gingham, so this just seemed like the natural choice. I paired it with some glam jewelry and my white sneakers to wear to brunch a few weekends back. I also think it would look great with a fun pair of wedges for a night on the town. How would you style this dress? Let me know in the comments below!
