April Showers Bring May Flowers

Can you believe April is here already?! I canโ€™t get over how fast the last few months have flown by. While Iโ€™m happy winter seems to be behind us, I want to keep working on being present and making the most out of every day and week! Whether it be fun lunches or work dates during the week, itโ€™s so important to slow down and savor the small things.

April is known for itโ€™s showers and that couldnโ€™t be any closer to the truth in Chicago right nowโ€ฆ Rain is in the forecast for the foreseeable future! While it may wreck havoc on my hair and shoes, Iโ€™m all about those May flowers. I canโ€™t wait to see everything in bloom again!

One of my favorite spots to pop into is the Lincoln Park Conservatory. Itโ€™s the perfect dose of flowers and foliage when thereโ€™s none to be found outside!

Iโ€™ve been scooping up floral printed pieces left and right lately. โ€œFlorals for spring, groundbreaking.โ€ Who can name that movie? 😂ย There are so many great floral finds (and non-floral, too) at Old Navy right now and I just had to share some of my favorites!

I also picked up this dress for the Amalfi Coast this summer, this off-the-shoulder top (in both white and chambray!), and this eyelet top (in both white and coral, but eyeing the navy, too!).

Floral prints tend to be super colorful, which I personally love, but sometimes youโ€™re just in a neturals kind of mood! I absolutely love this black and white floral print that Iโ€™m wearing, with little touches of green. Itโ€™s a print that I can easily transition to and from summer with booties and a leather moto jacket! Itโ€™s available in three different styles and silhouettesโ€ฆ The dress Iโ€™m wearing, this swing dress, and this jumpsuit.

I tend to get a lot of questions about Old Navy sizingโ€ฆ Iโ€™m a small in everything Iโ€™ve tried on so far this spring. Iโ€™m typically a size 4, so hopefully thatโ€™s a helpful comparison as youโ€™re shopping!

    Super cute! I feel like Old Navy has really stepped it up lately! I can’t go in there (even to return something) without picking up something new. Love this look for spring!

      That would be nice! I actually bought this one last summer, too, and it’s a really cute size and only $29! The brim is smaller than this Janessa Leone one, so it’s much easier to wear.

    Didn’t bother to look at the pics. The world should be spelled “occasion.” One “s” not two.

        Ha! I don’t even see the word occasion anywhere in this post so I have no idea what you’re referring to.
