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

Posted on by

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!

How would you style this dress? Which color / pattern do you like best? How often do you wear smocking in the summer? For more stylish posts, check out: linen sleepwear for every day, square-neck peplum tops by Free Assembly, & clearance beach totes for $8! Happy Styling!

SHOP NOW!: Linen Sleepwear to Wear Every Day!

Posted on by

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.

Cute tops are everywhere this summer! The cuts, fabrics, & prints are more interchangeable than ever when it comes to styling & getting the most out of your wardrobe. Specifically, Free Assembly‘s summer line at Walmart is turning up the volume with a flattering top in a can’t-miss variety.

SHOP: Free Assembly square neck tank top with elastic straps in navy, green, white, floral, pink, & blue stripe @Walmart ($18.00, available in sizes XS-XXL).

I love the idea of this top with denim cut-off, linen shorts, satin joggers, or ankle pants, topped off with a denim jacket, woven bolero, or athleisure jacket. For summer, I love the mixed floral print, but the blue stripes reminds me of the freshness of seersucker this season.

Prairiecore style continues to dominate the summer with peasant tops & skirts, linen & wide leg separates, & sundresses galore. In some cases, it may be difficult to incorporate these pieces into a work look. However, this newest Time & Tru find is not only the dress of the summer, but full of styling possibilities for any time of year!

SHOP: Time & True puff sleeve button front dress in 4 styles @Walmart ($24.98, available in sizes XS-XXXL).

One of my favorite buy-one-in-every-color finds has expanded with another variety. This time, a blouse with so much styling potential, is available in black & ivory to pair seamlessly with so many different bottoms, but also a printed blazer, denim jacket, flyaway cardigan, & embellished bolero.

SHOP: LC Lauren Conrad pleated scoopneck top in black & ivory @Kohl’s (on sale: $31.99, available in sizes XS-XXL & plus sizes: 0X-4X for $32.00).

To complete this look, consider a pencil skirt & statement necklace, faux leather shorts & slides, & windowpane trousers & layered necklaces.

Here are 2 ways that I’ve worn the cream during the cooler early spring months.
And the black mixed with leopard ankle pants!
Also, the above blouses, though different in pattern & neckline, are also by LC Lauren Conrad & featured in this post!

SHOP: No Boundaries burlap large beach tote in 6 styles @Walmart (on sale: $7.98).

I love all of these, but my favorite has to be the yellow “vacay” option! Plus, you can’t beat the price! Which tote is your favorite? How often do you alternate your beach baggage?

SHOP NOW!: Tank Tops with Bows!

Posted on by

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?

SHOP NOW!: Linen Pants for Under $20!

One of the chicest ways to stay both cool & stylish as the temperatures rise is by wearing linen. I’ve always been weary about linen, due to caring for the wrinkles & washing to ensure that it doesn’t shrink, but in recent years, I’ve been a fan of linen shorts with tanks & tees of all varieties. However, I’m in love with these linen pants, which can be dressed up or down & still keep you cool.

SHOP: Time & Tru linen pull-on pants in 2 styles @Walmart ($19.98, available in sizes XS-3XL).

These are true to size. I wish they were available in more color varieties, including black & brighter hues to pair with my favorite spring-summer tops. How would you style these pants?

Accessories Access: Fashion Jewelry Must-Have Gifts for Mother’s Day!

Posted on by

Budget shoppers recognize the importance of getting a great deal & making the most of an occasion. When it comes to Mother’s Day, a hefty price tag isn’t necessarily the way to a mother’s heart. However, some sparkle does get there—to some degree. Whether you’re a mother, have one, or not, let’s just talk about a pretty bracelet!

SHOP: I.N.C. International Concepts baguette crystal slider bracelet in gold-tone & rose gold-tone @Macy’s (on sale: $8.83-$14.73).

I can’t decide which one to get, especially at such a major discount from its original $29.50 price. I’m a sucker for rose gold, but both are classic & dazzle for a variety of occasions. Which metal tone do you like best? How would you style this bracelet? What kind of jewelry is your favorite?

SHOP NOW!: Gauze Sleepwear for Lounge or Beach!

Posted on by

Last year’s coastal grandmother trend isn’t going away any time soon, which is why we’re seeing so much linen & cotton this season. It makes sense—after all, the cool, comfortable & classic gauzy look is effortless & stylish for all sizes. Currently, Walmart’s Joyspun sleepwear label is selling the following pieces (a tank with shorts set, as well as a top & pants separates) that triple in use for sleep, loungewear, & beachwear! Most of all, t while the matching sets whichever way you wear them are chic, they can be mixed up with other staple wardrobe pieces, including a denim jacket, button-down shirt, graphic t-shirt, or midi skirt.

SHOP: Joyspun gauze smocked cami & shorts sleep set in 8 styles @Walmart ($14.98, available in sizes S-3XL).

SHOP: Joyspun puff sleeve gauze sleep top in 8 styles @Walmart ($14.98, available in sizes S-3XL).

SHOP: Joyspun gauze sleep pants in 8 styles @Walmart ($14.98, available in sizes S-3XL).

Would you wear these just to sleep or out & about? Which style do you like the best?

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.

SHOP: A New Day sleeveless linen dress @Target ($20.00, available in sizes XS-4XL).

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!

Super Style Wishlist: A Classic Denim Blazer!

Posted on by

Recently, I’ve discovered some fashion flashback photos of my outfits, including a blazer over a dress or blouse with jeans—all decked out in heels, living my most affordable Devil Wears Prada life. However, I invested in blazers simply for the photo & hardly ever wear these days. Although, a denim blazer is a whole other topper than can be worn for a day in the office with trousers & a blouse or to dress up a t-shirt & midi skirt combination even more!

SHOP: INC International Concepts puff-sleeve denim blazer in black, white, gray, blue, & peach @Macy’s ($89.50, available in sizes XS-XXL).

While I love the blue denim option, but the black or gray styles can really elevate any look. How would you style this blazer? Which color do you like the best? How often do you wear blazers?

Accessories Access: A Classic Crossbody for All Spring & Summer Long!

Posted on by

My latest obsession is a crossbody bag. I’d been using the same one on weekends for a few weeks now, but then it went & broke on me right before a recent family getaway. While I do love using the silver croc-embossed version I recently posted about here, crossbody bags seem to be popping up everywhere!

SHOP: A New Day saddle crossbody bag in gray @Target (on sale in stores: $12.50, on sale online: $21.25).

While this is somewhat smaller than what I usually like to wear, I do love the neutral metallic hue that will look great with a casual look, such as a peasant top & denim cut-offs, or a date night ensemble, like a maxi dress & cardigan. Shoppers, look for this in your local Target stores to get the best deal, which you can see below, is available en masse near me.

SHOP NOW!: The Softest Hacci Pajama Separates by Joyspun!

Posted on by

Loungewear & sleepwear has come a long way in the last few years & I’m loving it! I’ve never paid much kind to sleepwear sets in the past, but the ease of getting ready for bed, along with variety of affordable & super soft-to-the-touch options, my entire perspective has changed! Check out the new separates below to put together your next comfy look:

SHOP: Joyspun hacci knit v-neck cardigan ($14.98), hacci knit tank ($7.98), hacci knit cropped pants ($12.98), & hacci knit joggers ($12.98) @Walmart, available in 8 colors / patterns, as well as sizes XS-XXXL.

I have the leopard separates & can’t wait for truly warmer weather to wear these for an at-home weekend or simply for a good night’s rest. However, I’m also a fan on the all-gray, as well as the stripes.

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

Posted on by

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!

Posted on by

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!: The Most Comfortable Denim Joggers!

Posted on by

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: Free Assembly midi sundress with tie belt in green plaid & black @Walmart ($36.00, available in sizes XS-XXXL).

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!

SHOP: Time & Tru faux Sherpa pullover in winter white, blue lagoon, olive dusk, & brilliant red @Walmart (on sale: $13.00, available in sizes XS-XXXL).

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?

SHOP NOW!: Long Cardigans for Spring!

Posted on by

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.

SHOP: Chelsea v-neck long cardigan in black, white, beige, green, pink, & blue @New York & Company (on sale: $20.00, available in sizes XS-XXL).

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.
