Hey gals (and the total of, like, two guys who are probably reading this)!  I'm currently spending my last night in Ohio before heading back home to Phoenix tomorrow.  I was lucky enough to spend a whole week in the glorious midwest for my sister's wedding (a big congratulations to the newlyweds, Amanda & Jason!).  I was able to see family members and best friends from grade school, whom I hadn't seen in far too long!  This trip made me feel very nostalgic, and I wish I could see everyone more often.  Thankfully, though, I'm fortunate enough to be able to visit Ohio from time to time still.  (Plus I live in a cool enough place that people want to come see me, too... right, guys?  Riiiight?)

Rompin' & Rollin': Romper + Jacket + Booties

Rompers...  Rompers, man.  Probably one of the most hotly contested trends of... ever.  And I was one of those people who just... just didn't "get it" at first.  I was confused.  I mean, what's the point?  Don't they give you mom jeans butt?  Also, how does one go to the bathroom easily?  [You know you thought it, too - don't lie.]  There were so many questions.  That is, until I just bucked up the courage and bought one -- this very one featured in today's post to be precise.  My feelings on rompers now?  I won't ever look back and I won't be such a harsh critic on new trends from now on, prior to actually trying them out.  Plus, if I had tons of extra money lying around, I'd have every intention to purchase many more.  Many.

I am so glad I got over my irrational fear of rompers (and of maxi dresses too, for that matter).  What a life change for the better!  What's a trend you're glad you took a risk on?  Or one you regret like crazy?

Flowy Florals: Denim Jacket + Tank + Skirt + Kitten Heels

Hey guys! Do you want to know something I'm a fan of? Well, even if you don't, I'm still going to tell you: random midweek date nights. Especially when those unexpected dates are to an Indian food restaurant. Talk about delish. I can't get enough Indian food. Plus, so much of the menu tends to be vegetarian, so I have the #firstworldproblem of TOO many options (which is an issue I personally love to have when it comes to food). What's your favorite type of date?
