Thank you for all of the kind comments, birthday emails, and texts yesterday. You sure know how to make a girl feel good. I have to give a huge shout out to my husband who made the day truly unforgettable. Today we are off to watch my daughter’s dance recital. I get so emotional and choked up when I see that sweet girl up on stage. I am always so blown away by her confidence and poise. Throw in Father’s day and I’m a hot mess of emotions. But a dear friend of mine pointed out that simply means I am taking it all in. I like that perspective. So when you are feeling things strongly and deeply, it’s a nice reminder that you really absorbing and taking it all in. On a lighter note, this week’s Saturday Shopping is one of my favorite mixes. Denim and White.
I bought this blazer last summer and have already been wearing it this year again. You honestly can not beat the $25 price tag. If you do order it, it runs small so go a size up. I am wearing a medium. And mine arrived wrinkled but all of the wrinkles fell out when I hung it in the bathroom near the hot shower. Always an easy trick I use. A white blazer works with so many things. You can wear it with shorts and a fun tank or over any sundress. I adore all white with denim and think it looks really fresh. I chose to toss in pale pink with mine, but you could work in any color you wanted.

I think there is something really fun about a lace top mixed with ripped denim. It’s just a fun juxtaposition. These exact jeans just came out and are not on the website yet but I will update you when they are. I linked a similar pair by the same brand. I recently had to say goodbye to my perfectly ripped and worn in jeans. It was a tragic day. So I finally bought a pair to replace them after realizing I reached for them constantly. They just work so well with so many looks.
I’ve also always wanted a pale pink purse. It reminds me of ballet slippers and there is something so feminine and pretty about it. This one is a splurge but I found this one and this one (with fringe!) that are not such an investment. This one is a darling clutch and ships for free. I do plan on carrying mine for years to come and I have not put it down lately. The color is just so pretty.
I have had these leopard heels for quite some time and love them. I am a sucker for a sexy heel. I really am. But let me be honest, these heels were not made for walking around town. I don’t want to mislead you. Do I love them and wear them a lot? Yes? But I wear them to dinner and for date nights . . .not for long sight-seeing journeys! If you are needing one that you can wear for the long haul, these are darling or you could go with a cute pair of sandals. Great way to add a pop of leopard to an outfit.

And like I mentioned earlier, this ballet slipper pink handbag has been on my wishlist for years, but I found some other really darling ones that are more budget friendly if you are just looking for a similar look.
Pale Pink Handbags
dress | handbag | blazer | heels
A white blazer really is so versatile for summer. You can slip it over a black dress for date night. Add a little leopard with the heel and you have a sexy but well put together look. I love the gold detail on that clutch, too.
sandals | blazer | similar shorts | pink handbag
Can we talk about that bag? It’s so darn cute with the fringe. So here is an example of how you can pull together the same look as my featured look but with slightly different pieces. The fringed bag, sandals and shorts are more casual and work great for during the daytime.
I hope you found some fun outfit inspiration. Lastly, I will leave you with my favorite deal of the day. Check out this darling bow blouse!!!! It’s 40% which makes it only $26. Really cute.

I always love the detail you give in sizing and comfort. I live in the Caribbean and there is NO shopping here, so all my purchases are on-line usually via Nordstrom because of their fabulous return policy and I live by your words for my purchases! Thank you for helping me stay stylish when I travel, I would otherwise be completely out of the fashion loop.
Courtney says
The Caribbean. Holy cow I am envious. That sounds dreamy. I am so happy to hear you are able to order things online . Please don’t ever hesitate to ask if you need more detail on how things fit. And thank you for the lovely comment. It means so much.

Courtney says
Thanks, sweet friend. Ryan spoiled me for sure. Been thinking about you all weekend. Love you.
Elizabeth says
I’m relatively new to your blog, but I’m so glad I’ve found you! You have my favorite fashion feature out of all the blogs I follow. I truly appreciate the classic and feminine looks you put together, and have admittedly copied quite a few! My white blazer is now on its way! Excited to have a piece to polish up my maternity wardrobe the next few months, yet I can still wear after baby!
Courtney says
Hi Elizabeth. So happy you found my little blog. And thank you for such a kind compliment. That means so so much to me. I love that you have been able to find some inspiration. And congrats on the baby on the way. You are going to be one stylish mama! Have a great weekend and thanks again for taking the time to comment.

Amanda says
I love your fashion posts – just bought those striped shorts from Target that you recently recommended and I LOVE them! I seem to be about the same size as you, so I was wondering – do you mind sharing if you ordered a small or medium? I’m assuming medium, but was just looking at the reviews and some said it was baggy. I’m definitely ordering one of these – have a cruise coming up in August and this blazer would be perfect!
Courtney says
Hi Amanda,
You totally made my day. Thank you for such a sweet comment. I am thrilled you like the shorts. I adore them.
Yes . . . I am wearing a medium. I should have included that in the post. I just went back and changed it. I bought a small first and it was too snug. I am pretty slight {size 2/4} but do have broad shoulders. But I really couldn’t move in the small. Hope that helps.
Have sooooo much fun on your trip.
Lovely Sharice says
Yes! So simple yet chic. I love it!
