I live in the Midwest - in a college town which has a mix of style - casual and professional. I have styled two looks -- one more casual for the younger, college age group, and the other is a professional business-type look.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!
I styled this look around my birthday present - this neon yellow mini tote, which I can't wait to use more this summer. Also, I got this bold necklace in my most recent Rocksbox. It is a great statement piece - and is actually very lightweight and comfortable to wear. I would have thought it would be heavy. If you are interested in trying Rocksbox - I am offering one month free + 50% off a second month -- just enter the code: dailystylefindsxoxo. You can read more about it here.
I am in the process of growing out my bangs. Has anyone else struggled with how to style them when they are in the in-between stage?!? They are so heavy on my forehead but too short to tuck behind my ear. A few more months and they should be grown out - I can't wait!
THOUGHT OF THE DAY
"COME TO ME with your plans held in abeyance. Worship Me in spirit and in truth, allowing My Glory to permeate your entire being. Trust Me enough to let Me guide you through this day, accomplishing My purposes in My timing. Subordinate your myriad plans to My Master Plan. I am sovereign over every aspect of your life!"

Happy Memorial Day!
Memorial day is more than a day off of work, great shopping deals, and picnics with family, it is a time to remember those that lost their lives serving our country. Thanks to all those that have served.
HISTORY OF MEMORIAL DAY
Originally called Decoration Day, from the early tradition of decorating graves with flowers, wreaths and flags, Memorial Day is a day for remembrance of those who have died in service to our country. It was first widely observed on May 30, 1868 to commemorate the sacrifices of Civil War soldiers, by proclamation of Gen. John A. Logan of the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of former Union sailors and soldiers.
During that first national celebration, former Union Gen. and sitting Ohio Congressman James Garfield made a speech at Arlington National Cemetery, after which 5,000 participants helped to decorate the graves of the more than 20,000 Union and Confederate soldiers who were buried there.

One of my favorite places to shop is having its half-yearly sale - with up to 40% off! There are some great deals. I have been watching these wedges - and they went on sale, but sold out in my size. I found them even cheaper (with an extra 20% off - Code: FUN20SUN) - so this is one of those times I am glad they were sold out! Also, if you have wanted to get a pair of Hunter boots - they are on sale, which doesn't happen often. Lastly, one of my favorite parts of shopping at Nordstrom is FREE shipping & FREE returns - so there is no risk in trying something!
THOUGHT OF THE DAY
"You and I need to put the Holy Trinity on our case. With Jesus as our Friend, the Holy Spirit as our Advocate, and the heavenly Father as our Judge, we can retire from self-care, knowing that justice will be done — so that we can be anxious for nothing."
- From a bookI read last month (and talked about in this post).
Have a great day & have fun shopping!
