I can hardly believe that exactly 6 months ago I was wearing a fancy white dress, surrounded by all the people in my life I love, and marrying my best friend. In some ways I could say it’s flown by, in other ways I’d say it’s been a long 6 months, and in all ways I’d definitely say that our vows of “for better or for worse” have certainly been tested. In what we thought would be nothing but 6 months of newlywed bliss, God has certainly challenged us as husband and wife with some life realness. Nearly on the other side of it I will say this:

When life doesn’t go as planned and gets tough, it’s certainly made better by having someone at your side to be your partner through the highs and the lows.

I’m hoping in the next 6 months we get to breath a little bit easier than the last, but in the spirit of turning negativity on its head I will say I am grateful for the lessons I learned in this season of life. And also good riddance.

 

So what does wearing white look like 6 months later? My favorite crisp white shirt, these levi’s I can’t stop wearing  and a fun little neck scarf to throw in some color (and style) to an otherwise simple and classic look. You have a white button down in your closet right?! If not, scroll below immediately and buy one I’ve linked.

A good white shirt is a must in my staple wardrobe picks. It’s so versatile and  gives you a put together look that can go with so many things, for so many occasions. Wear it to work, wear it with jeans, roll up the sleeves, layer underneath sweaters….. have I convinced you yet?

 

 

I’ve been wanting a proper neck scarf for years, I like the idea of them. They feel ladylike, put together and can give a pop of color and sophistication that just adds a little something to a simple look. I need to research all the ways to tie them because there are a ton and I only know a few.

I’m also still loving the platform trend from last summer and these shoes bring the look to a fun casual level for a great daytime look. I would also pair this with some nude stilettos for night time or to make it appropriate for work I’d swap a darker simple denim and navy blazer.

 

 

So what are we doing to celebrate 6 months of marriage? Because its a busy weekend with Mother’s Day and my father-in-law in town, we celebrated last night with our favorite sushi spot and surprise flowers and wine from my sweet hubby. Tonight it’s Italian with the father-in-law for our actual anniversary, and since I get to have pizza AND pasta I’ll try not to complain 😉 Oh and I’ll probably make hubby watch our wedding video for the 2347385453 time and have ALL THE FEELS all over again.

What are your weekend plans?

 

XO,

JESS
