How is it the end of March already?! They say the older you get, the faster time passes. I am starting to agree. Regardless, along with the change in seasons comes a change in attire and I am digging all of these warm weather styles. Two piece sets, rompers, and jumpsuits remain hot items. Have you made your springtime wish list yet?! If you answered no to this question, add a pink power suit to the list…like yesterday!

This jumpsuit is perfect for your springtime soiree, and it is not just for pink-loving ladies. It is also available in deep blue, and bound to turn heads. Featuring ruffle strap details and a matching belt, be the best dressed at the event without even trying. This is what I refer to as, “effortlessly chic.” We can all benefit from that, am I right?! The fit is true to size although I could benefit from a hem job. #ShortPeopleProblems. Act now as it’s only $55 and will not last long. Happy Thursday!

30 Things You Don’t Know About Me

1. I was born in Bogota, Colombia.
2. I lived in Puerto Rico from 1992-1996 and met my oldest friend to-date while there. Megan was a bridesmaid in my wedding and we’ve been friends for 26 years!
3.  I spent the remainder of my childhood and adolescence on the East Coast.
4. I am Jewish by choice.
5. My husband is a plastic surgeon.
6. I am a nervous flier. The second I get on a plane I count down the minutes till touchdown. In fact, there are 26 minutes left on this flight as we speak!
7. I HATE when food breaks. You know, when you’re about to bite into a juicy taco and the shell breaks down the middle. There’s nothing more aggravating.
8. Speaking of eating, I don’t like when food is sweet when it’s not “supposed” to be. Sweet potatoes…no thanks.
9. GG is my ride or die.
10. I’m a Bar Method addict.
11. Jonathan (my husband) and I are 14 years apart and we are living proof that age is just a number. We are the same person but male and female.
12. I’m obsessed with plantains – I snack on them almost everyday.
13. I’m the only girl I know who doesn’t like champagne.
14. Keeping up With the Kardashians is my guilty pleasure.
15. I’ve played field hockey competitively since I was 9 years old and was the captain and MVP of my high school team. I was also an All-Conference, and First Team All-State player. I was approached by two schools to play at a collegiate level, but I followed my dreams of going to college in the South. But I could not stay away from the sport for too long! I play in a women’s league in Northern California and LOVE every minute of it.
16. In August 2012 I visited California for the first time. Long story short, we were living in San Francisco by May 2013.
17. I graduated from LSU with a Bachelor’s Degree in Textile and Apparel Merchandising
    and a minor in Business Administration. #ForeverLSU
18.  I’m a Giants fan, but not the baseball team (sorry SF natives), the New York football team! My grandfather played for the NY Giants in the 1940’s!
19. Pitbull is my favorite singer/songwriter…dale!
20. I cook dinner 4-5 times per week. I got it from my mama…
21. Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate. Enough said.
22. I’m five feet tall
23. 68 degrees is my ideal temperature. I do not like to sweat unless I’m working out. In that case, BRING IT ON!
24. I am NOT a happy camper when I’m having a bad hair day.
25. I never imagined I’d choose a career that involved writing. In CT it was standard practice to conduct 45 minute “writing prompts” EVERY.SINGLE.WEEK 4th grade through 12th. Simply put, I was scarred for life!
26. I live in high heels. If high heel slippers were a “thing” I would own them!
27. Pizza Hut breadsticks give me life.
28. I prefer tea to coffee. The caffeine content in coffee makes me crazy.
29. Mascara is my favorite beauty product. Long lashes are my trademark.
30. I sometimes “suffer” from what Jonathan refers to as, “laughing fits.” I’ll put it to you this way, once I start I cannot stop…

It has been years since I last wore a skort but I can say with confidence that I have been missing out. It is WAY too hot and humid in Louisiana to wear anything other than loose fitting clothes. A skort is the perfect happy medium as it is a cross between shorts and a skirt! This little number was perfect for an afternoon in downtown Lafayette. I was impressed with the variety of store fronts and restaurants up and down Jefferson Street. Already looking forward to my next visit, I cannot wait to try the frozen rosé at Pop’s Poboys.

This yellow plaid skort is easy to dress as it features a high rise waist. I dressed it this time with a white crop top and pearl heel sandals. For a more casual encounter, I would probably tie a white t-shirt to the side and slide on a pair of nude or gold flip flops. As far as the fit, the shorts hit about mid thigh and I suggest sizing up one size. The Asos Collection tends to run a little bit on the small side. Happy Friday!

So what’s the secret? It’s all about the composition – the garment’s material make up. It would be easy to write off all lightweight fabrics but those come in handy in the form of undershirts. So before you purchase a bodysuit, always ask yourself how you plan to wear it. Are you wearing it under a fabulous jacket? If so, rayon or cutout bodysuits are great alternatives to the traditional camisole. Are you wearing it solo with jeans or a skirt? If you answered yes to the question above, choose the fabric wisely. Consider polyurethane or a wrap design for sufficient coverage.

I have an obsession with this ruffle bodysuit because it functions as a stand alone top. The scuba fabric provides ample coverage minus bulk. It looks great with pants and skirts alike. Better yet, it could pass for a designer item at a rock bottom price. Today I’m dressing it with this jacquard skirt from the H&M Conscious Exclusive collection. Sadly, but not surprisingly, this golden beauty sold out the same day it was released. See gorgeous alternatives here, here, and here. Regardless, you should still buy the bodysuit! I can assure you you’ll wear it frequently. After all ruffles are HUGE this season. The bigger the better.
