Spring Florals & The Weekly Style Edit Link Up

Happy Friday! Spring has definitely sprung in Albuquerque, so what better way to celebrate than with spring florals! On a recent shopping trip to Target, I spotted this Who What Wear x Target floral blouse and immediately fell in love! When I tried it on, I wound up liking it even more than I originally thought I would. I look forward to dressing it down a bit the next time I style it. It would also look perfect with a pair of white boyfriend jeans and embellished sandals.

Spring florals can always seem a bit cliche, so you definitely have to be careful how you style them. Personally, I think if you pair a floral print with a lot of pastel or light colored accessories, it can often read as being too forced or contrived. I recently shared these amazing Baublebar tassel earrings, and thought they would bring the perfect amount of visual interest to this outfit. The yellow shade is bright enough to stand out against a bold floral print, while still coordinating with the look.

Be sure to link up your favorite outfits from the week with Megan from The Fashionista Momma for The Weekly Style Edit link up. We love to see all of the beautiful looks that are shared each week, and hope you’ll join us! We are also always looking for co-hosts as well, so feel free to connect with Megan or I if you’d like to join us.

Moto Jeggings & Lace + The Weekly Style Edit Link Up

TGIF! I don’t know about you, but I have been seeing cute moto jeggings all over the blog-osphere lately. They are definitely a fun spin on a basic pair of jeggings! I have never actually owned a pair until now, and totally feel like I have been missing out. I am totally in love with this pair from Wight Gold! They also come in a few other colors and are super affordable. I’m thinking of picking up the off white pair next to wear throughout spring and summer. I am also loving anything lace for spring, and this top has the sweetest detail. It is so light and airy, I can’t wait to wear it throughout spring. It is also perfect considering today is St. Patrick’s Day!

How to Style Spring Sandals Two Ways with Marc Fisher Footwear

This post is sponsored by the PRIMP Network. All opinions are my own.

Happy Tuesday! Today I am so excited to be partnering with Marc Fisher Footwear to share two different ways to style some of the cutest new spring sandals. The weather has finally warmed up here, and I’m really hoping it sticks around. It was in the 70’s over the weekend, so I couldn’t wait to wear my first maxi dress of the season. I usually find myself gravitating toward midi or maxi length dresses as the temperature rises. I just love how light and flowy this one is! As soon as I received these chambray Meliza platform sandals I knew they would look perfect with this dress. I wouldn’t typically be drawn to such bold shoes, however I wound up falling in love with the unique spin these sandals can add to any outfit.

Wearing:

Zaful Floral Maxi Dress c/o
Meliza Platform Sandal c/o Marc Fisher
Initial Necklace c/o Eve’s Addiction
Karen Walker Sunglasses (currently on sale for 50% off – only $140!)

I decided to style these amazing espadrille wedges with my favorite pair of dark skinny leg jeans and a flirty open shoulder top. You guys know that jeans and a simple tops are essentials in my wardrobe. I love the way a unique pair of shoes can elevate any casual look. The cut out details of this pair of wedges are absolutely incredible! Typically when I wear a pair of jeans and a basic top, I love to add bright accessories to complete the look. I already know that these Artemis Tassel Drops from Baublebar are going to be my go-to pair of statement earrings for spring and summer!

Wearing:

Gray Monroe Open Shoulder Top c/o
Kut From The Kloth Jeans
Harlea Wedge Espadrille c/o Marc Fisher

The Best, Most Affordable Wedges for Spring & The Weekly Style Edit Link Up

Before I share the best, most affordable wedges for spring with you today, I just have to point out the obvious. Do you notice that things look a little different around here? I finally, almost 3 years after starting Middle of Somewhere, made the switch from Blogger to WordPress. I couldn’t be more excited! I am so in love with my new design, and can’t thank the lovely Kristen of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot enough for all of her hard work to make this possible. I am also super excited that my first post here is another edition of The Weekly Style Edit link up because you know that’s my favorite posting day of the week!

Today I am wearing the famous Marc Fisher dupes. You guys, trust me when I say that they are are amazing as I had hoped they would be! Like every other style blogger out there, I had my eye on the Marc Fisher Adalyn wedges. I totally could not justify spending $160 on a pair of shoes right now. I typically only wear wedges on the weekend or if I go out, so it didn’t make sense for me to spend so much on a pair of shoes that would be worn maybe once a week at most. Then I found the more affordable alternative, and am so glad I tried them! I actually want to get them in black next. Even though my husband says I’m “like 6’3″ in them”, I think they’re the absolute best, most affordable wedges for spring!

Be sure to come link up with Megan from The Fashionista Momma and I for The Weekly Style Edit at the end of the post.

Styling a Graphic Tee & The Weekly Style Edit Link Up

Happy Friday! This week has been an interesting one for me. If you follow me on Instagram or Snapchat (@lindsayrutland), you may know that on Wednesday my husband and I started our very first Whole30 journey. The past few days haven’t been as difficult as I thought they would be, but I feel like it’s a total honeymoon period. I also haven’t been faced with too many temptations yet, so we will see how this progresses! It’s kind of ironic that I’m wearing a tee that says “Different is Beautiful” today because it seems like every blogger in the world has done Whole30 before. Speaking of my shirt, how awesome is this graphic tee from Sevenly? A little known fact (in the blogging world) about me is that my day job is actually in the social work field. Before having Harper, I worked with kids and families as a licensed mental health therapist. I currently work in a different capacity with adults with various disabilities, including Autism Spectrum Disorder. As soon as I found out that a portion of each sale of this tee would be donated toward the Global Autism Project, I knew I had to have it. I usually don’t wear a ton of graphic tees, but there’s no way I could pass up one that supports a good cause!

P.S. Today the beautiful Angela of Pretty in Her Pearls will be joining Megan from The Fashionista Momma and I today to co-host The Weekly Style Edit link up. Be sure to come by and link up your favorite look of the week with us below!

Wearing:

Different is Beautiful Tee c/o Sevenly

My Favorite Pieces from the Nordstrom Sale

TGIF! Earlier this week I posted about my Nordstrom Winter Sale picks that are all under $100. While I was writing the post, it totally dawned on me that I already own a few of the pieces I included. You may know I’ve been obsessed with these booties since I got them last year and have worn them quite a few times in various posts (last seen here). They are super comfortable and can really be worn no matter what season it is. This Lush tunic is another great piece and is on sale now for $27! It comes in a ton of colors and is the perfect length to wear with any jeans or leggings. I plan on picking up this tunic in a few more colors before the sale ends on 02/26.

Often when a Nordstrom sale comes around, many of the same or similar pieces are included. It seems like there is always a version of the Lush tunic on sale and for good reason! You guys know I’m all about re-wearing and re-styling basics. I love a good pair of denim leggings, a tunic, and boots, especially as a transitional outfit. Have you shopped the sale yet? What are some of your favorite pieces?
