My Style: White Plum Giveaway

gifted White Plum Sweater & Shorts (Enter BRUNETTE20 for 20% off your entire purchase until 6/18) | Forever 21 Sandals | 31Bits Bracelet | Rebecca Minkoff Crossbody

Well, I'm a married woman with a new last name! My husband (feels so weird to say and type) and I are still feeling that honeymoon hangover and wish we could fly back to the beach this week. We returned last Saturday evening from a week spent soaking up the sunshine in Laguna Beach. I can't wait to share all the details for our big day (finally!) in the coming weeks but for now I'll share a few outfits from our honeymoon!

 I wore this on the flight out to the OC. The sweater provided warmth from the chilly a/c ridden airplane, but provided some breathability once we touched down and ventured to al fresco lunch at The Rooftop. The cotton shorts were provided such comfort on the plane, and felt like I was wearing pajama shorts! While I typically travel in maxi dresses during the summer, I would say this combo may be my new go-to! 

White Plum is offering my readers a discount and if that's not enough, enter the giveaway below for a chance to win a $50 store credit to WPB! Enter BRUNETTE20 for 20% off your entire purchase until 6/18.
