Doing spring right with pretty, delicate details

So in case you haven't heard, spring is here! I will ignore the fact that a good chunk of our country will get pounded with some cold weather and snow.  It will be a good 30-40 degree difference in temperature today from the last two days.  This makes me really sad! 

Maybe you have heard the news? My family and I are moving to somewhere much warmer.  We are headed down to Beaufort, SC. We will be living and enjoying the beach life and much warmer weather.  Warm weather wasn't the only factor into why we were moving out of Chicago.  We have been wanting to leave for a few years now and said if we were to move it would be somewhere warm.  There are alot of factors such as cost of living, taxes, crime, corruption, traffic and others that pushed us out.  I ended up finding a job in Beaufort and we could not be more excited.  We didn't know much about South Carolina prior to this point but we knew if this was an option, it would be along the coast.  We talked about Texas and I always liked Florida.  After visiting Beaufort, we were sold.  It is such a slower pace, not as congested, has a small town feel yet there is so much around in the area.  There are so many beautiful islands to visit and places to see.  We were ready to leave the big city living behind. 

With that being said, it may be varying between spring and winter here but my heart and head is in the south with the beautiful sunshine.  I was inspired by the beauty and the nature I saw down there and have been looking for items that are accentuated by that beauty.  This Loft top is it! There is such beautiful intricacy in the detail and it has such a delicate feel.  

I love how from afar the top looks like a basic white button down but up close you see the detail.  I rolled the sleeves up but you can also roll them all the way down.  It dresses up a pair of jeans so nicely but wear it with your favorite work pants or even a cute, feminine skirt.  The fabric is so nice and light so even on days when it is hotter, it still won't make you too warm.  It can left loose or tucked in.  I am all about the tops that are versatile and this one is so nice and versatile.  

Have you heard that the Loft now has a loyalty reward program? This is across all the Ann Taylor stores and brands.  Earn points toward rewards.  You earn a $5 reward for every 500 points (2 points per dollar spent), exclusive offers for your birthday.  I am very excited about this! I love when there are that extra incentives to shop.  As if I already needed another incentive to shop at my favorite store....

Happy Shopping!
