Closet Cravings: Get Ribbed

 Growing up, I remember the only people who sported "wife beaters were rappers. 

Just writing this post is giving me flashbacks of Jay Z spittin' bars on a yacht while wearing the infamous ribbed tank in his "Big Pimpin'" music video. I wasn't too up on game back then with the terminology of this now rising trend, since I'd often call the muscle tee a "white beater"--I know I'm not the only one. Nonetheless, the ribbed look is making its way back on the style scene

in a much more cool & feminine way.

Where to Find:

Top: Gricka Ribbed Midi Skirt from Missguided & Ribbed Cropped Vest from Topshop 

1 | Lystra Ribbed High Neck Mini Dress from Missguided

2 | Maxi Dress in Rib from ASOS

3 | Midi Body-Conscious Dress from ASOS

4 | Skater Dress from ASOS

5 | Milana Knit Crop Top from Missguided

I love how something so casual as ribbed cotton has been given a much more fashionable spin. From skater dresses and body cons to crop tops and slimming skirts, I am itching to snag 

some ribbed pieces to wear this summer.

Motivation: Know Your Worth

Lately, I've noticed a lack of understanding when it comes to the true value of a woman, not only within other women, but within myself. The more I conversations I have where I am encouraging a young woman of how precious she is in the sight of her Heavenly Father, the more I am challenged with embracing that truth in my own life.

Trend Hunting: Birkenstock Stunnin'

When I started to see Birkenstocks popping up all over the blogosphere, 

I couldn't help but have deja vu moment. Back in the day, the only people wearing the now highly coveted sandals were dads and grandpas who had the audacity to show off their toes.

Now, the sandals have gone from shabby to staple! They give just the kind of laid back look that is needed for coolin' out this spring & summer. Check out my favorite Birkenstock picks below!
