Even though a wedge isn’t exclusive to summer, it’s a staple that is available in a variety of styles & colors, many of which are neutral for any summer outfit. Crochet, raffia, & basket weave details offer a contrast in textures against the season’s boldest prints & neon hues.

SHOP NOW!: A Sheer Sleeve Top in 27 Varieties!


During a recent pursuit of burgundy tops (for school spirit days next semester), I came across an Amazon retailer that offers a stylish top in 27 varieties. As I plan my summer wardrobe, vacation ensembles, & filter out older pieces to donate, I’m always on the hunt for some staple stand-by pieces for upcoming busy weeks & weekends.

SHOP: Aokosor Swiss Dot Puff Sleeve Tops in 27 styles @Amazon ($18.69-$24.99, available in sizes S-XXL).

I have already ordered the burgundy, black, Kelly green, & cobalt blue, along with 2 of the printed varieties. They run true to size & I love how they can be styled with jeans, a pencil skirt, linen shorts, wide leg palazzo pants, faux leather pants, or ankle pants for any time of the year. Also, I’m excited to style these up with drop earrings or a statement necklace, as well as cluster studs & charm bracelets.

The time is now to hop aboard the Kohl’s train with their major clearance blowouts, Kohl’s Cash (if you have it), & summer sales, including some must-have accessories to wear all year long. One of my favorite fashion jewelry brands, LC Lauren Conrad, knows a thing or two about chic subtlety when it comes to jewelry for special occasions, a professional look, or for the everyday outfit.

SHOP NOW!: An Inclusive Smocked Midi Dress for Summer!


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.

SHOP: A New Day smocked tube dress in 5 styles @Target ($30.00, available in sizes XS-4X).

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!

SHOP NOW!: Linen Sleepwear to Wear Every Day!


As I continue to expand my sleepwear & loungewear wardrobe, I love finding pieces that seamlessly work for both parts of my life. When it comes to linen, I even hope that a piece will coordinate for an office summer look. As much as I do rely on neutrals for this time of year to offset with a pop of color, I’m also very much into pink bottoms!

SHOP: Stars Above linen cropped pajama pants in 3 styles @Target ($17.00, available in sizes XS-XXL).

Recently, I bought the pink pair on a whim without a sale & I’m so glad I did. the only thing to consider with these pants is that the linen is very lightweight & you should wear flesh-tone underwear to avoid any see-through moments. Currently, I have ordered the blue pair as well.

SHOP NOW!: New $6 Tees for Work & Casual!


I’m making a promise to wear as many skirts as I can this summer, especially since I’ve been guilty of neglecting them. However, to do that, I need to ensure that I have the right tops to wear since I’m considering these skirts for my daily summer classes, starting on Wednesday. It’s just my luck that New York & Company had these:

SHOP: flutter sleeve t-shirt in 6 colors @New York & Company (on sale: $8 each or $6 each when you buy 2 or more, available in sizes XS-XXL).

While I love the color variety, I do wish there was a red, navy, & cobalt option. Also, as the retailer has been offering more inclusive sizes, this top isn’t available beyond a XXL. How would you style this top? Which color do you like the best? How often do you wear a flutter sleeve?

SHOP NOW!: Tank Tops with Bows!


I love a bow detail—no matter if it is on jewelry, shoes, or a dress. However, when I’m looking to put together a casual, but stylish outfit, I don’t always think about bows. It’s easy to throw together a top & shorts or tank & jeans when heading out & about with the kids. Now, it can be an even more fashionable experience with these new must-have summer picks!

SHOP: Time & Tru bow shoulder tank top in 4 colors @Walmart ($13.98, available in sizes XS-XXXL).

I can’t wait to wear this top with tropical linen shorts, a pleated midi skirt, or denim with slides. How would you style this top? Which color do you like the best?

Accessories Access: Spring’s Most Versatile Crossbody Bag!


When it comes to running out & about, whether for fun or errands, a crossbody is my go-to. I’ve fallen into the habit of changing out my massive weekday tote to a smaller crossbody for weekends, especially when needing to be mobile with my little one. This newest crossbody is not only versatile for its removable strap, but also stylish for any spring occasion, including a family party, date night, or al fresco brunch with girlfriends.

SHOP: A New Day straw chain shoulder handbag in natural, green, & pink @Target (on sale: $28.00).

I love the contrast of the tortoise chain, especially in the green & pink options, but when simplifying the look, I love the thinner strap. How would you style this bag? Which color do you prefer? How would you wear this bag? For more stylish posts, check out: gold hoop earrings for under $7, Lily James’ best beauty & hair red carpet moments, & chambray peplum tops for spring! Happy Styling!

SHOP NOW!: A Lace Sleeve Pullover for Under $10!


The must-have markdown of the season is here! I love a pullover that can go from dressy to casual with the switch out of jeans & sneakers to faux leather leggings & a statement necklace. This is especially the case for a top with statement sleeves that’s worth it to have in every color!

SHOP: Nine.Eight casual long sleeve statement pullover @Walmart (on sale: $9.88, limited availability in sizes XS-XXXL).

Originally, I ordered the white because the item is referred to as a sweatshirt; however, this is a thin, stretchy pullover material & it was very sheer. Not wanting to layer, I’m returning it, but very much looking forward to the navy & magenta options. The price is just too good to be true & I wish my size was available in more colors. I guess that’s just how it goes with end of the season clearance items!

SHOP NOW!: The Ultimate Linen Dress for EVERYONE!


Now that spring has sprung & 2 local trips are planned between now & early June, it’s time I start looking ahead to summer—in style! While linen does wrinkle & require care when washing, it is a breathable, comfortable, & classic material for a dress. Even better, a flattering & inclusive dress that can be styled up or worn casually.

SHOP: Universal Thread sleeveless linen dress in blue, black, pink multimate, green, blue multi, & white @Target ($30.00, available in sizes XS-4X).

My favorite is the green, but I did recently get the green eyelet dress I posted about back in February, so I think the blue (navy) will be a formidable option. I do wish there was a thicker strap, but the puckering across the waist is so flattering.

SHOP NOW!: Puff Sleeves are Here to Stay!


It’s taken me a while to hop aboard the puff sleeve trend train, but as these gorgeous spring styles are rolling into my ‘Gram (@styledarlingdaily), I can’t help but think about all of the styling options!

SHOP: puff sleeve mixed media top in Palm Springs Pink, Agave, & Black @LOFT (on sale: $29.97, available in sizes XXS-XXL).

I’m nuts for the minty ‘agave’ top, especially with tropical linen shorts & neutral mules for vacation, windowpane trousers & block heels for work, a pleated midi skirt & ballet flats for a family party, or jeans & sneakers on the weekends.

SHOP NOW!: The Most Comfortable Denim Joggers!


Let’s all give it up for the one & only Sofia Vergara who got denim joggers right! The actress-turned-fashionista has nailed it when it comes to a combination of comfortable, stylish, & affordable pull- on jeans with a joggers twist. I can’t wait to wear them all the time, especially since I haven’t worn jeans since before my pregnancy in 2018 started to show!

SHOP: Sofia Jeans by Sofia Vergara Paula knit denim joggers in Bel Air, Trinity, & Oceana wash @Walmart (on sale: $18.50, limited availability in sizes XXS-XXXL).

At the recommendation of another blogger, I ordered these in the lightest Bel Air wash, only because the darker Oceana wash was sold out in my size; however, now that I’m in love with his comfortable & trendy these are, I’ve already ordered the Trinity wash before it’s too late!

SHOP Now!: Pretty in Polka Dots!


Spring is the perfect time of year to lighten up those layers & play with patterns. One of my all-time favorites is polka dots, especially in a cardigan that tops off a blouse, jeans, plaid trousers, or a fit & flare dress.

SHOP: polka dot puff-sleeve cardigan @New York & Company (on sale: $35.97, available in sizes XS-XXL).

Also, I love this, like it’s pictured, with a bright pair of trousers, but also a magenta or Kelly green pencil skirt would be fun too!

SHOP: ballet flats with bows in stripe, black white floral, blue floral, & beige black @Ardene (on sale: $10.43, available in sizes 6-11).

At such a great price & with so many fun & springy details, how can you not order all of them? I love the stripes for a classic tee & jeans look with layered necklaces of the blue floral with a cotton eyelet dress & cardigan. Not to mention the black floral will add some feminine flare to a midi dress. Also, the beige & black is perfect for a casual Friday in a cardigan set & windowpane pants.

SHOP NOW!: A Velour Sweatshirt for Under $14!


With all of the great end-of-the-season sales, I’m reveling in the final days of luxe, winter textures & deep, rich colors. Velvet has had a resurgence in all forms, especially when it comes to pieces that can work for both loungewear & work.

SHOP: velour sweatshirt in black @LOFT (on sale: $13.95, available in sizes S-XXL).

Try pairing this with plaid pants, faux leather leggings, dark denim jeans, wide-leg satin pants, or joggers. Also, the neckline is perfect for layered necklaces or a bold statement piece. I wish this too was available in other colors, but I guess that’s what happens when it comes to final sale items.

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!

SHOP NOW!: A Peplum Top Just in Time for Spring!


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!

Accessories Access: Bright & Beaded Earrings from SUGARFIX by BaubleBar!


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:

SHOP: SUGARFIX by BaubleBar beaded tassel earrings in pink & red @Target ($12.99).
