We have finally started to see a bit of warm spring weather lately! It's been lovely. I'm so ready to say goodbye to my green parka. Even Brett said he was tired of seeing it. Haha! Last weekend, we took a trip down these railroad tracks out to the river. It was so windy, so we took shelter in this little field! I love how the colors of the grass fit with my bag and shoes! I absolutely love wind, but I'm more of a warm wind gal. With the sun being out though, I can't complain. Spring is here.
So this is my third item I've styled for my spring fever challenge with Lee and Birch. I chose a white long-sleeve top that had such pretty detailing at the top. I knew this top would go perfectly with any type of bottom I wanted. I'm in love with floral shorts lately. I want every pair I see! And saying that, I accidentally purchased these shorts twice... I know, I know. It was online and I didn't recognize that I already had them, so I've decided to just give the other pair away! So if you'd like them, they are size medium, just leave me a comment here!
I'm going to start listing my outfit items at the bottom, in separate lines, so they are easier to read and click on if you're interested! You'll be seeing this darling bag soon on a few bloggers, Syd from The Daybook and Lauren from Busy Bee Lauren. Frock Candy is sending it around to each of us and whoever styles it best gets to keep it. I love style challenges! I had a hard time styling it a bit because I honestly don't have anything else this color, so it was definitely a challenge, but a fun challenge!
I'm super excited for Friday tomorrow. We have dinner plans with my parents and on Saturday we're going to a show in Lansing that Brett wants to see! Hoping to find something day-trip-ish to do on Saturday too before the show. Every Sunday, we've been taking one room in our apartment and spring cleaning it, so this weekend we have the guest bedroom and the west wing hallway. Brett always picks on me because I always call the sections of our apartment the west wing or the east wing! Hehe. Have a great weekend!

picture perfect! I love your outfit.
I love this outfit. The shoes are to die for. I think everyone is super excited for spring; I know I am.

Lovely outfit Tieka! Especially the shorts. How are you going to decide to give them away?
That really is a gorgeous top, which like you said, could go with just about anything. Would definitely make a great addition to a wardrobe. :)
I really love how you styled it though, with the shorts and everything.. I wouldn't mind getting that extra pair. ;) haha. They're really cute! Have a great trip on Saturday!

Cute spring outfit! I love when you wear tights with shorts. I think you did a great job styling the purse! I like how your sunglasses match your shorts! I'm pretty sure I have those same sunglasses. The color is really fun.
Lovely, I've actually had my eye on those very same floral shorts! But alas I'm a small...
Loooveee your floral shorts, your delicate top and your boots!! ♥
-Anna
Oh I've done that before! Bought something I already own. I just pretend its a backup or I give it to my sister:) I hope you have a fantastic weekend! It sounds like a busy one for sure!
This outfit is SO adorable! I would love to be considered for the giveaway - they are my size, and I've been looking for some cute floral shorts for a while now! Fate?

I love those shorts, so perfect for spring - and what luck, they're in my size! You can count me in for this giveaway! :)

I have been hating on shorts the last few years and been sticking with skirts... but seeing your photos really makes me want to give them a second chance.
Could we do a trade? I'll send you something from my jewelry box or closet in exchange for the shorts!

This is seriously the perfect location for pictures!! It's so pretty in the sunshine. I tried on those floral shorts and ended up getting a different pair and now I'm regretting this decision! You are such an inspiration miss tieka, you are so beautiful! Have a great weekend! Xo
Love your shorts! I bought them as well but I have worn mine yet. Thanks for some inspiration!
I would love to be in the running for the shorts, they are adorable. Snow is FINALLY melting here, so I might actually be able to wear them soon!
I would also be willing to trade for them...check out my Etsy shop if you're interested!
These photos are so beautiful and the setting looks wonderful with your outfit! You are just darling! :)

The colors are so pretty in these pictures Tieka! Fingers crossed that you win that style challenge.
I was just thinking today that my puffy coat needs to get stored away already. It's April for goodness sake!
Loving your darker locks by the way. :)

You look so glam, and I love those shorts! XOXO, www.NatalyasCloset.com
i tried those shorts on but i was too poor that day to get them! i'd love you forever!!!
I am loving floral shorts as well, I have two pair already but I don't have those ones yet! :)
So gorgeous! So funny that you bought the shorts twice (they are so nice!) I have definately done that before too. Hope you and Brett have a wonderful weekend seeing your family, the show, and cleaning the west wing ;) You look so pretty in white by the way. Such a stunner! xo
I would LOVE the shorts! But, obviously whomever you choose is great. :) Missing Michigan so much these days. Good to see a bit of it in the photos.
Thanks.
Hope you guys are doing well.

Wow, so you're doing two styling challenges in one outfit? I am thoroughly impressed.. And the shorts are really cute!

Hi Tieka! Such a cute outfit! I think you styled up that bag nicely. :) I love the details on the shoulders of your blouse, and those shorts are darling. <3
those shorts are so pretty! i want! lol
I think it's so funny that you bought two of the same shorts! That is dedication. I would love to win one of those. :-)

I love the feel of this outfit! I've been loving florals lately. I'd love to be part of the giveaway!
lmerrima@gmail.com
the whole outfit has a sense of warmth to it which is lovely. the florals and light tan accessories are gorgeous xo
These pictures are so so dreamy and pretty. Lately, I've been really loving white/cream tops that have pretty detailing (I wore one today, actually) just because of their versatility. And I'm a huge sucker for detail :)
Beautiful outfit as always. I'm not sure if those pretty shorts would fit me, but they are so so lovely.
<3 Lea
I've been wanting some floral shorts too! They're such a great, more freeing alternative to floral skirts!!! :) You definitely thought right to pair it with that lovely top and those amazing tights! You always have the best weekends Tieka<3
these photos are all so stunning, beautiful shorts!
Love, need, and want the shorts. So cute!
Oh, yes! Those shorts are adorable! I'm loving floral shorts at the moment too, they are so much fun.
This outfit is gorgeous - I love all these items together, and you always remind me that I need more patterned tights!
Those tights are AMAZING!!!! :)

Hooray for spring! Those floral shorts are delightful.
These floral shorts are so cute, I love them! Spring is really the best season of the year =)
Juliette
you look gorgeous hun, love your shorts x
Oh jeez, I'd LOVE those shorts. Before I even saw that you were giving them away, I was thinking how much I adored them (& I thought they were a skirt originally) but I bet I'm too late, wah. I don't think they're selling them in Forever21 over here yet... they've only just started selling Delightfully Tacky's stripey skirt! On a better note, I'm SO glad that warmer weather is beginning to stick around. & I really, really love this entire outfit. It's looks so fresh & cool.
Those shorts are perfection! Love your outfit.

Tieka!! I love these pics, you look so pretty! I feel you on the floral shorts, I have been the same way about lace ones.
How are those shoes? I saw some black ones like them at Urban but I am a little broke. I don't hink they are the same brand but they look alike.
Have a great weekend girl!
could you get any cuter??
love the shorts/tights/wedge combo!
Want! I reference your blog when someone comments on my tights with short combos.
You're so pretty Tieka! I love your shorts, I'm not surprised you bought them twice, they are too cute :)

I have enjoyed reading your blog and I like how you incorporate a lot of local attractions and culture into your posts :) I really, really love those floral shorts. If you are going to do a drawing for them, I would like to be entered....or you can just send them my way ;) Keep up the good work!
These spring pictures are so lovely!!

I love the dreamy perfection of this whole look..swoon..the combination of the wheat sheaths and the brown tint of your sunglasses is so nostalgic.
The vintage print of the shorts looks perfect for spring, and all other season frolicking.
Your outfits are always so adorable and inspiring xx
this outfit is super cute! i love those sunglasses.
spring is coming in montreal too - i think its will arrive in the next week!
i love those shorts and they are my size!

Tieka, cute as always, no surprise there. Gimme the shorts! ;)
xo Lauren
Super cute! (as always). I especially like the color of the sky against the color of the grass :)
I love the neutral bag and shoes with the floral. The shorts would be too small for me - F21 sizing, ugh - but I hope they go to a good home!
I'm so jealous of the shorts- I saw them in f21 the other day but they didn't have my size!

I really wish we had better access to dome american shops... those old navy tights are gorgeous and those shorts are so so cute! Would be perfect for one of those slightly more laid back days at work! Loving the colour combination of the bag and shoes by the way!

Beautiful outfit - I LOVE the shorts. Floral shorts are pretty awesome in every way.
Great outfit and I really love those shorts so I can see why you'd buy them, *again*!
You look so cute, Tieka! I am overjoyed that it's getting warmer out. I'm ready to hit lake michigan soooon.
