08/03/2023 Darling of the Day: Jennifer Lopez’s National Spritz Day Look for Less!


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 the exact dress here:

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:

SHOP: ditsy floral drawstring ruched pocket ruffle tiered dress in mint @Bloomchic ($32.80, available in sizes M-6X & 5 colors) & floral print ruched puff sleeve midi dress in teal @Rainbow ($19.97, available in sizes 1X-3X & 2 colors).

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:

SHOP: Cloverlay flip flops in rose gold @Amazon ($19.99, available in 6-11 & 10 styles) & Gacimy chunky 14-karat gold hoop earrings @Amazon (on sale: $13.99).

SHOP NOW!: Enter the Peplum Era of Your Wardrobe!


If there’s one silhouette that I love & will never stop wearing, it’s a peplum, which is both flattering & forgiving for any occasion. For my plus-size, curvier Style Darlings, I’ve found just the right top to pair with white ankle jeans & slides, a pencil skirt & stilettos, leggings & knee boots, lace short & wedges, or belted with a maxi skirt. Take a look at some colorful & affordable options!

SHOP: solid crepe knit peplum top limited availability in all 5 colors @Rainbow ($12.99, available in sizes 1X-3X).

SHOP: tiered sleeve ruffle peplum top in 7 colors @Rainbow ($16.99, available in sizes 1X-3X).

I adore both of these options, even though I’m not usually one for a voluminous sleeve moment. For such an affordable price, it only makes sense to invest in multiple colors in these. How would you style these tops? Which colors do you like best? How often do you wear peplum?
