Check Mate // with Femme Boutique Boston

Hello lovelies!  So I recently visited the Femme Boutique Boston's pop-up trunk show at the Nest in Amesbury, and this sweater immediately caught my eye.  It was love at first sight -- I mean who doesn't love a scalloped edge?!  The ladies behind Femme Boutique graciously gifted me the sweater -- I couldn't wait to style it.  I opted for keep it semi-summery with sandals and my favorite saddle bag.  But I know this sweater would pair fabulously layered with a chambray button down, some black jeans and tall boots.  More to come.... 

I highly recommend a visit to the Nest in Amesbury.  The town is so charming.  You can make of day of it exploring the historic cobblestone streets, discovering more quaint shopping, and stopping for a bite at one of the many great restaurants in town.

This weekend only, Femme Boutique Boston is offering my readers 20% off your online purchase, use code "Style-Blueprint" at checkout (online only, not available in store).  They have so many great pieces to choose from, including this ruffle sweater that I loveee and these super comfy trousers!  Happy Shopping!

Gingham Goes Floral

Oh, the joys of Friday...  Even though I have to work all weekend (Sox are home and Yanks are in town), I have no other major plans, except for a long run sometime tomorrow.  Sometimes the days // weekends are just so damn-jam packed, it's nice to just sit back + relax.  I have some busy weekends coming up in August so I should enjoy this "down" time while I can, right?  That's what I'm telling myself anyways.

Back to the outfit, I ended up purchasing this skirt on major sale at L&T (obvs).  I love the print mixing happening, even though I can't take credit since I didn't design the skirt.  My goal in life (or at least in my wardrobe) is to experiment more with different patterns + prints.  {I started to look for some separates in my closet that may help get my creative juices flowing, see here.}  I can do it, just gotta stay confident.  Have a fabulous weekend!
