I am so excited to be sharing two summer dresses with French Connection in this post and the next. This is a brand I have long admired for the beauty and quality of the products, which makes it extra fun to have the opportunity to collaborate. As you know, dresses are always my go-to which is especially true in the summer. Today I am styling the posy lace maxi dress which I wore for a fun dinner date with Russ. Friday it will…
Happy 4th of July everyone! I always love this day as a reminder of the great honor and privilege it is to be born in the United States and have such freedom. I know what you are thinking: another dress? Another off the shoulder piece? Sorry, I cannot help it when things are as good as this blue and white striped off the shoulder dress! Pieces like this are quintessentially summer for me. I love the ease, versatility, and cool…
I admit, I wasn’t planning a 4th of July related outfit post. I’m honestly always amazed by the bloggers who think enough ahead around holidays to get things styled and posted in advance. All that changed when I got this adorable striped off the shoulder top in the mail and thought, “why not add a red lip and a white bag?” Does posting the Friday before a Monday holiday count as advance? Let’s just say it does so I can feel…
I’ve got a little fringe in my step thanks to these adorable block heeled fringe sandals from Restricted Shoes (also available in tan). This was a new company for me, but I have really fallen in love with this shoe. The block heel and shorter height make them really comfy, and the fringe makes them really fun. I can easily wear them all day to work which is a win in my book. Restricted Shoes also has a good dupe for…
I love the sneaker trend. I mean, what woman doesn’t want comfy shoes to be all the rage? Even as a fashion obsessed person, I have wondered how to wear the sneaker trend. Somehow it seems like a cool girl look I cannot quite achieve, so I did some research (aka Pinterest searching). Thankfully KicksUSA gave me the opportunity to test my theories with these awesome floral Nike sneakers. I mean, how cool are they?! I’d been wanting a pair…
I loved the colors in this pastel striped dress. I also loved that it gave me an opportunity to wear my pink hat. I love hats for many reasons, but this time it was because it covered up my roots. Ha! Thankfully I just had my appointment. Hats, fun shoes, sunglasses, and a good bag are always my go-to items when I want to keep things interesting. This dress was fun on its own but better with good accessories. My…
How to wear layers in the summer? And why? Well, if you are anything like me, once you actually get inside, most places are freezing! My work being a primary example. Doctor’s offices, movie theaters, church, I could go on and on. But you also don’t want to be dying when you are outside in the heat. My go-to formula of how to wear layers in the summer is a tank (or sleeveless dress) with a lighter top layer. It’s…
Floral and stripes has always been one of my favorite ways to mix prints. As long as there is a similar color in both, in this case navy, it’s a no fail combination. I thought it was fun to mix things up a little by pairing this off the shoulder top, a trendier piece, with a classic floral midi skirt. Add in my pink bag and shoes, and you have a complete look. I have been surprised at how much…
Trending now: embroidery and lace up shoes. I have some serious obsessions going with both of these lately. First it was my red and white embroidered midi dress (seen here). Then it was yesterday’s post. Today it is this embroidered dress which makes me so happy. I loved it when I saw it on a couple other bloggers, but by the time I went to order it was sold out. I was thrilled to find it on Oasap for under $30!…
This lace up floral maxi feels so very me. Sorry for yet another white/floral dress… I cannot seem to stop! I hope you are not bored. Embroidery is a big trend right now (I’ll be discussing it on Friday’s post, so be sure to come back then!). I loved how the colors of this floral paired with my pink bag (last seen here) and my pink shoes (last seen in our pregnancy announcement, grin). I actually added a white cami…
