Guest Post: Catherine of My Inner Fabulous

Catherine, Minnesota blogger from My Inner Fabulous is sharing a guest outfit post with the Midwest Blogger group today! Hunter boots are the perfect fall footwear and we love the bright red!

Jeans: Banana Republic. Chambray: J. Crew. Vest: Gap (old). Boots: Hunters. Watch: Fossil.

I love these boots so much I have no apologies for wearing them when it's sunny out. Lucky for me though, we're in for a rainy week :)

Spring Fever

Seriously, where is spring? Last time this year in the  Midwest we were breaking out the shorts and tank tops - but this year it's still a snowy wonderland {at least in Wisconsin}. 

How do we get through this grueling winter weather? Blogging about everything springy!

Check out some of our favorite spring posts this week -

Shag Jacket // via Megann at Dash of Glamm

One of the cardinal rules of a midwest blogger is that you must have a collection of cute coats. Let's be real, it's the only way to make long winters feel a bit more bearable.

How amazing is this shag coat from one of our chicago bloggers Megann at Dash of Glamm?
