Happy Friday!
Today’s post is all about this sweet neck tie blouse I styled from Shop Fancy Free Boutique. Working with this company was such a fun experience. Not only are they fast and affordable, but they also have an awesome selection of Spring styles available! I have a black sleeveless dress I plan to wear over this to dress it up a bit. I also think it would look so cute tucked into a flared black skirt.

I’ve had Spring cleaning on the brain since the weather has been nice and I’m pretty much always itching to de-clutter. I wanted to share a few simple tips I keep in mind to avoid it turning into a totally overwhelming process!
Keep the end goal in mind: When you’re planning to clean stuff out, you also want to plan to get rid of said stuff. Unfortunately moving stuff around without getting rid of anything will leave you in the same spot as you were before . The end goal is to simplify so as you start, go ahead and plan to take a trip to Goodwill with all the things you no longer need or use.
Simplify first, clean later: It’s tempting to see the dust and think you need to clean your whole house before you begin to get rid of anything, but getting rid of stuff will stir up the dust even more so save the cleaning til later. Chances are, you’ll end up with less to clean!
Organize into piles: I organize my piles into what I’m keeping, what I’m throwing away, and what I’m going to donate. If it’s something I haven’t used and I know no one else will want it, I toss it. If it’s something I think someone else might love, I donate it. If it’s something I’m going to keep, I have to make sure I have a place for it! Once I’ve thrown away the junk and donated the excess, I organize what is going to stay.
I hope these tips are helpful for you to simplify your space and simplify your life! If you’re like me, you know a clean space is a happy space. So here’s to living in happy spaces!
Much love!
