Spring hair inspiration.

Are you feeling the urge to chop? I did last year and it was one of the best decisions I made. Not only do I feel empowered, chic, and fresh with a new, short hair-do, it also saves me a great deal of time getting ready for the day. 

Everywhere you look beautiful women are taking the plunge and creating a new look for themselves with a new hair-do. If you are feeling the itch to chop or are looking for a new color idea then this post from ELLE is a must read. 

Here are some of my favorite photos from the article.

Read, enjoy, and be inspired.

Sundays are for sundresses.

Could today have been any more beautiful? Mid seventies with sunny skies and warm rays of sunlight to warm your skin and soul. I am always grateful for the beautiful weather we have in Southern California and this weekend was no exception. 

I was so excited to dress for the warm weather this weekend. All of my beautiful printed and embellished shorts, sundresses, and rompers are just waiting for spring to begin and this weather to be a daily occurrence. 

This little sundress from American Eagle Outfitters is one of my favorites. I love the color coral and the way it looks on my skin tone. Spring and summer are all about bright, colorful colors and prints. It is important to find shades that flatter your skin tone and hair color. Those items will give you a glow from within.

friday embellishment

T.G.I.F.!

After the week I had, it is no stretch to say I am deserving of a nice, relaxing weekend. 

My sweet husband took me out to dinner on this Friday evening at my favorite local italian restaurant. Heading to a casual haunt meant wearing something classic, clean, and pretty for my dinner date. On days where I am craving some classic style I know J.Crew is the direction I need to follow. Tonight I did just that by pairing this beautiful embellished top from J.Crew along with my go-to jeggings (they are SO comfortable) and my favorite fringe booties. 

My hair is growing so quickly - it was quite the traditional bob in January and now is growing back into the more relaxed, LOB. I have to say it was fun to try the bob and take my hair that short (I haven't in all of my life!). I am definitely loving the direction it is going style and length wise - I am looking forward to trying some braided updos and things soon. 

Until next time, 

xoxo Amanda

back at it

Hello all of you beautiful and uh-mazing blog followers, 

Thank you so much for being so patient for me as I had to take some time off from blogging due to some personal matters. To say the last few months have been trying is an understatement. Luckily I have my wonderful family, friends, and community to help keep me going. 

I have been keeping up some with my instagram page (WhatAmandaWore) and wanted to share a few of my photos from the time off I had from blogging. I look forward to getting back into sharing my favorite outfits, inspiration, shopping finds, and other fabulous things with you. 

Keep your eyes peeled for some stylish new posts to come your way. 

xoxo Amanda

Napa was AMAZING. I had the most wonderful time and loved getting away with my hubby.

I spent the day in Santa Barbara wine country with my husband and sister. We had the best time. I enjoyed the cooler, rainy weather we had and the ability to wear a cozy sweater, boots, and jeans because we have been experiencing quite a bit of 70 degree days here in Southern California.

I couldn't of had an update without having my sweet Belle be a part of it. She is my baby girl and I am just obsessed with her. She keeps growing and growing. Okay, Anabelle, you can stop now!
