I know not everyone is a follower of mine on Instagram {but if you want to, I can be found at @amidwesternmix} but I thought I would do a short post that would roundup some of my recent outfits and outings. Oooh, and you might notice that I may or may not have a slight obsession with stripes. Enjoy! 🙂

Omaha Fashion Week hosted their Red Carpet Ready Event at Borsheim’s last Thursday and I thought this Rebecca Minkoff shirt dress was conservative but fashion-forward. The black & white version is sold-out, but this color combo is equally adorable.

This casual black maxi went from church to brunch a few Sundays back. I found it last summer at TJMaxx but found a few similar options (here & here) a these sandals have been on constant repeat so far this summer.

This particular afternoon we were out house hunting and I wanted something casual. It really doesn’t get any more summer than white cut-offs, chambray tops, slides, and a neutral tote. I absolutely love this look and have worn variations of it nearly every day.

When you sleep past your alarm and know it’s going to be hot & humid in the office, you wear the easiest thing in your closet…for me, it’s this striped cotton t-shirt dress. Throw on some cute flats, a long necklace, and I deemed it ‘work appropriate.’

<I picked out this sunny dress for Kyle’s cousin Parker’s wedding in early July. I found out the wedding colors (purple & yellow) AFTER I had purchased the dress, but I ended up matching Kyle in his groomsmen tux pretty well 🙂 I added two of my favorite pieces of jewelry; this necklace and this cuff for some interest.

This is one of my favorite looks of the summer…there’s a good chance I’ve worn this tank at least 10x since it arrived on my doorstep {#notsorry} and these boyfriend shorts are really figure-flattering! I threw this on for a 90* Saturday morning filled with the BEST latte ever and antique shopping in small town Iowa.Â
