I know, I know! Everyone says statement necklaces are out & layering necklaces is in. I can’t help it, but I love a bold piece, especially one in a color I can’t resist. Case in point: green!
There are so many fun & fabulous ways to prepare transitioning your wardrobe from summer to fall, including breaking out accessories for layering. This includes kimonos & other sheer jackets for over a tank & shorts, t-shirt & jeans, & camisole & joggers.
Even though this option is sheer & lightweight, it’s perfect for adding a feminine touch to your look, especially when paired with tassel earrings & stacked bangles. How would you style this topper? Which color do you like best? How often do you wear kimono-like tops in your day-to-day life?

If anyone knows how to do summer in style, it’s Jennifer Lopez. She never fails to bring the drama, flair, & street when hitting the red carpet; however, it’s often her more feminine & delicate looks that are truly breathtaking & inspiring.
On Tuesday, the multihyphenate celebrated National Spritz Day while promoting Delola, her new business venture of “world class crafted cocktails,” according to the brand’s website. As posted on her Instagram, a video, featuring Taylor Swift‘s “Cruel Summer,” shows Jennifer exiting her summer home (maybe in The Hamptons?), wearing a gorgeous green–her favorite color–coreseted floral midi dress with a slit (see below), It’s a perfectly breezy choice for the summer & occasion. Additionally, the dress is affordable for $47.99! Keep scrolling!
SHOP:Houseofcb vintage floral print side slit corset midi dress in gardenia @Sthcute ($47.99, available in sizes S-L). However, while the dress is a great price, the inclusivity is missing, which is why I also selected these equally breezy & floral mint options to recreate the essence of JLo’s look:
Jennifer’s effortless & timeless look is finished off with thick round gold hoop earrings (shop similar here) & rose gold flip flops (shop similar here), which can be found more affordably here:
If a dress, top, pants, or jacket has some stretch to it, I’m all about it. In every day life with work & family, I don’t have the patience to feel constricted in my clothing, especially in summer. A smocked bust or detail in a dress makes all the difference, especially for curvier women.
I love the pop of color in the turquoise & the chic simplicity of the leopard print. I’m torn about which one to wear to my daughter’s preschool graduation, but I know I’ll get a lot of stylish use out of both this season. Not to mention, good on Target for not only the style variety, but also the vast size range for a classic summer dress!
Once of my favorite parts about this time of year is shedding the layers & heavy fabrics of the cooler months & embracing the light, flowy joy of cotton, along with the breezy & feminine texture of eyelet. Whether it’s a dress, skirt, embellishment on a shoe or pursue, I love an eyelet detail because it adds a little something special & classic to any look! Recently, Walmart‘s Time & Tru brand has included eyelet touches on some versatile staple items that are not only affordable, but also easy to style for a variety of occasions.
I love that both of these options, available in a variety of colors, can be styled with denim, linen, joggers, or leggings for shoppers in sizes XS-3XL! These are great to pair with an open cardigan & ankle pants for day & then mix it up on the weekend with cuffed jeans & tennis shoes.
The 90s are back with a stylish vengeance this season, including the slip dress trend! However, todays pick includes an inclusive slip dress in linen, perfect for an evening outing with metallic sides & a braided belt, the weekend with tennis shoes & a denim jacket, or poolside over a swimsuit.
I especially love the multicolor printed dress, as well as the stripes. If this was available in a maxi dress cut, I’d add them to my cart, for sure! I love sharing these with readers, especially since it’s an affordable find & available in a variety of sizes!
When it comes to style in the warmer months, while trendy pieces & bold accessories are essential for exploring your sensibilities, comfort is also key! It’s time to break out the linen, cotton, & chambray, along with any denim cut-offs, to pair with the season’s newest must-haves!
I love how pretty & classic this top is, juxtaposing the soft ruffles & peplum-inspired silhouette with seersucker stripes, which will pair perfectly with white jeans, linen shorts, dark wash denim capris, or gauzy wide leg pants!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Any day gives me an excuse to wear green, but today, especially, I’m excited to share a must-have polished sundress in green & white plaid for spring/summer that I can’t wait to try on myself, which is also available in black too!
The green option is lovely for Easter or other springtime festivities, while the black is a classic, feminine staple to dress up with platforms, wear with laid back slides, or be in casually with sneakers & a denim jacket.
As always, I’m a sucker for one of each, especially when it’s a classic item that can coordinate with nearly any look. This is Aldi the case when I’m thinking about jewelry—do I get the gold, rose gold, or silver? However, for the right price, why not get all 3?
These charming, yet stylish pendants are perfect for any button-down, as well as a mandarin collar blouse. The peek of some sparkle is a chic finishing touch—& how could you go wrong with the price?!
All fall & winter long, my Instagram feed has been overflowing with different Sherpa items, from shackets to coats to cardigans to slippers. I know I’m a little late to jump on the bandwagon, especially as so much light & fluttery spring fashion is on the horizon, but in looking to update my casual outerwear / topper options, I was pleased to discover this new rollback—& with polka dots!
Personally, I can’t decide between the white or the olive, so both have been added to my cart! For $13.00, originally priced at $21.98, how could you go wrong with 2? How would you style this pullover? How often do you wear pullover outerwear like this?

While cropped cardigans are taking a step into the background, long cardigans are having a moment as looser fits & more relaxed silhouettes are taking center stage, not only with loungewear, but also for more polished & professional outfits. Furthermore, a long cardigan tops off a look, dressing up t-shirts & jeans, a blouse & pencil skirt, or tank & joggers.
I love a maxi dress, especially a printed one with so much styling versatility. I can’t wait for spring & summer to come to Long Island, so that I can float everywhere I go in a maxi dress! Naturally, I support a maxi dress that’s also inclusive!
With this dress, one could break out a bolero cardigan, crochet cropped sweater, or a long sleeve duster for cooler nights. The faded hues & timeless prints get me thinking about the 90s with chunky wedge sandals or lace-up boots!
As the barrage of end-of-winter sales are coming to a close soon, it’s time to stock up on next season’s essentials. No matter how many time I examine & reorganize my bursting sweaters shelves, I can’t help but notice what colors & styles are missing. Suddenly, inspiration strikes & I click add-to-cart!
SHOP: essential dolman sweater in winter white, heather gray, syrah red, dark purple, golden seal, & blue destiny @New York & Company (on sale: $10.00, limited availability in sizes XS-XXL).
I have the burgundy sweater, which I’m excited to wear with plaid pants & a statement necklace for a work day. The weight of the sweater is just right & I’m thinking about adding the white & gold since they’re such a great price right now!
Walmart is really stepping up their pajama game with the Joyspun brand, which also now includes adorable sets in fun patterns, if you’re in need of sprucing up your sleepwear options!
SHOP:Joyspun knit notch collar top & capris 2-piece set in dark navy lemon, black soot, completely pink dot, lavender touch tile, peach cobbler floral, multi stripe, neela blue stripe, & neela blue travel @Walmart ($16.98, available in sizes S-3X).
I’m not a big fan of button-downs at night, but the patterns on these sets, especially the lemon & blue travel options, have me excited for warmer weather nights!
On a recent quick trip to Walmart, I took a stroll down the clearance-lined shoe aisle, & came across these dramatic knotted flats, perfect when needing a classic black option with a little extra flair—for only $7!
These were originally $30.00, so they’re at steal currently, if you can find them. I can’t wait to pair these with a fit & flare dress, printed tights, & embellished cardigan.
And below is my daughter, ever so proud of my bargain find!
I love a flowy top with feminine details, especially when it comes in multiple colors. I’m gearing up for spring & taking the time to reconsider my warm-weather casual wardrobe & this top just happens to come across my social media feed:
SHOP:Time & Tru peplum top in golden torch, mauve glow, black soot, & blue ash @Walmart ($13.98, available in sizes XS-XXXL).
I’ve purchased all 4 colors & tried them on; however, I’m not sold on them just yet, as they’re living in my “return” tote bag. They seem to look great on everyone on LTK, but I have some hesitations for my XL frame. Maybe I just need to style them up. We’ll see… All & all, Time & Tru is doing s fabulously fashionable job at encouraging this cool-girl spring—& summer—we’re all about to have!
Since my work week includes 2 night at my second job, I sometimes have the opportunity to change outfits from the typical gussied-up classroom look to something more laid back, but still fashionable. This usually entails—at least at this time of the year—a cozy pullover sweater & a big earring or necklace that might otherwise be too “extra” for the day. I’ve had my eye on several “big” earrings lately & can’t wait to hop on board this next bright beadwork accessories trend:
If you’re looking for a last-minute Valentine’s or Galentine’s gift for a lovely loved one, then head over to Macy’s star for a gift set bargain! Better yet, get these for yourself!
At such a can’t-miss final sale price, how could you go wrong with any of these sets? I’m not usually one to coordinate exactly when it comes to jewelry as I prefer to mix it up, but a classic pendant like this can be worn for a special occasion, with a collared shirt, or layered with other chains.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Style Darlings! To bring a—temporary—close to all the loved-themed goods, I wanted to post a reminder that self-love, in whatever form works for you, is the best way to honor yourself so that you can love others.
Once the sun comes out & the all that cold goes away, it’s time to break out some mules! The slide trend isn’t going away as we’re setting our feet free for another season of casual cool style.
I love the simplicity & of these with the braided, textured top. Additionally, they are versatile to wear for work, a weekend brunch with friends, a floral jumpsuit for a day date, or when running errands. My favorite is the black & white pair since it’s a polished contrast to other prints I may wear!
Are we thinking about summer yet? I mean, it’s nice to daydream & I definitely don’t want to wish the rest of cozy winter & romantic spring away, but… when I see a great summer item deal that’s inclusive for many sizes with a variety of styling potential, I can’t help but gush about it. Some of you may think that a printed tee isn’t the most stylish piece in a wardrobe, but these colors & prints from Old Navy mean business!
I love all of the prints of these! When it comes to summer staples, I’m a sucker for fruits, so the oranges are on my radar. I love that even though these can obviously be paired with casual items like denim cut-offs or linen pants, you can also elevate them with a blazer & pull-on pants or an open cardigan & belted midi skirt.
For the full-time work week, more than half the week includes a 3-piece outfit topped by a cardigan. This means that I need OPTIONS! My go-to store for cardigans of all kinds (that are also quality) is New York & Company. I miss their stores so much, but the variety of EVERYTHING on their website is making due—obviously if you’ve seen my cardigan collection.
Now is the time of year that the winter must-haves are getting marked down to make wave for stylish spring duds, which brings me to post about these $10 long-sleeve cardigans!
If there’s one retailer that’s been catching my eye when it comes to jewelry & accessories this past winter season, it’s LOFT. Now that the winter statement pieces are on deep discount, the deals just keep getting better & better! Also, as we slowly move away from the dark, rich hues of winter layers & sweaters, it’s time to start embracing (or, at least, planning for) pastels for spring separates. I have just the jewelry deal for pretty pinks, sweet greens, lovely lavenders, & sparkling peaches for you!
I already nabbed the necklace for a great discounted price, but the matching earrings are definitely worth considering. I wouldn’t necessarily match the necklace with the earrings since I love to mix up matchy-matchy pieces with other items in my jewelry collection, but the colors bring a smile to my face & the sparkles are just… EVERYTHING!
THIS POST HAS BEEN UPDATED! The tassel earring trend isn’t going away as we move between seasons, & why should it? The pop of color & contrast of fabric for a fun date night look, when heading to a party, or adding some flair on a casual Friday at work. As tassel earrings styles come & go, we’ve gotta grab an amazing deal when we see one!
I can’t believe I’m posting about shorts when it’s still so chilly here on Long Island, but spring break is in reach & I’m daydreaming about warmer days. However, a matching linen set is a stylish, fresh staple for any wardrobe, especially as sets are so on trend right now! Not to mention, I love mixing up colors & patterns for an array of possibilities.
I’m drawn to the green striped set, but thinking I’d get more use for switching up pieces with the navy stripes. Also, I’m waiting for a fabulous sale, which Target often has, to snatch up at least one set for my next vacation. Plus, the pink & olive sets are all over Instagram, so I’m not the only one on board with these looks!
