Posted on by

I love kicking off the school year in a dress, one that’s fashionable, functional, & versatile in styling possibilities. While I do love my classic scuba fit & flare dresses of yesteryear, I’m so drawn to the flowy ease of a “basic” dress that’s really anything but—

SHOP: Knox Rose flutter short sleeve tiered dress in 4 colors @Target ($30.00, available in sizes XS-4X).

Of course, any of these dresses can be styled with a denim jacket or duster cardigan, as well as ankle booties or cowboy boots. Which dress do you like best? Which colors are you drawn to?

90s trends have taken over summer & they’re not stopping for fall, including neutral sweater vests, which transition nicely from season-to-season.

With vacation plans booked & plenty of beach days ahead, a versatile, stylish, & affordable coverup is essential. While a classic, oversized button-down shirt is a classic choice, I love the idea of a caftan, as if it’s a maxi dress to keep you covered & cool.

SHOP NOW!: Ruffle Sleeve Lace Tops from Amazon!

Posted on by

In my continued pursuit for unique white & burgundy tops, I considered sleeve lengths of all styles, but struggled to find a well-fitting top that offered some sort of detail or interest beyond a basic tee, especially when I have been searching for something for work outfits & to pair with statement necklaces.

SHOP: Dorose lace top in 4 colors @Amazon ($25.99, available in sizes S-XXL).

If interested in ordering these days, I’d recommend sizing up as I originally ordered XL, but then returned & repurchased XXL.

With graduations, family parties, & all sorts of outdoor events coming up, a neutral, but glam pair of sandals are perfect to move from day to night & weekday to weekend.

I love the raffia texture of these sandals, reminiscent of the raffia flats I recently posted about, & it’s a perfect combination with the jewels that will dress up any look.

SHOP: Scoop embellished t-strap thong sandals @Walmart (on sale: $14.99, available in sizes 6-11).

Here’s how they look on me:

They’re lovely with my chambray dress, though a bit snug on my average foot around the ankles & across the top (where the jewels are). I wish these were also available with different jewel colors, but I’m looking forward to breaking these out with a variety of sundress looks & summer outfits. How would you style these shoes?

Accessories Access: Summer’s Must-Have Bracelets!

Posted on by

With temperatures rising, I’m always looking for comfortable & lightweight clothing to wear that’s stylish & special. Usually, I downplay my accessories game since I don’t like the feeling of various metals on my skin when spending the day outside in the sun. However, there’s a chic ease of a bracelet with a maxi dress & wedges, tank & linen shorts, or blouse & joggers, which is why I’m recommending these fabulous finds:

SHOP: Universal Thread cylinder beaded stretch bracelet @Target ($12.99).

SHOP: Universal Thread smooth bar stretch bangle bracelet set @Target ($12.99).

SHOP: Universal Thread simulated leather & tube slider magnetic bracelet @Target ($12.99).

Posted on by

All over social media, I’m seeing sundress after sundress in bright, playful colors in linen, cotton, & other fabric blends, inspiring shoppers to style up looks for baby showers, graduation parties, & daytime weddings. However, this particular dress in selling out fast!

SHOP: Free Assembly sleeveless square neck maxi dress with elastic straps in 5 styles @Walmart ($39.00, available in sizes XS-XXXL).

Just like my penchant for the same clothing items in multiple colors & patterns, jewelry in varying metal tones is a must-have, especially when recently & deeply discounted. This time of year is perfect to gift baubles to a bride-to-be, recent graduate, or bestie for a birthday in chic white gold, classic yellow gold, or (my favorite) rose gold. These 5 picks from Walmart are $24.99 & under—marked down from $69.00 & up, & I can’t decide which are my favorites!

Accessories Access: Floral Statement Jewelry on Clearance!

Sometimes, the most statement-making jewels don’t include any sparkles or gemstones. I love a strong piece on gold, silver, or rose as a neutral against brighter pieces like a red blouse, purple dress, or green sweater.
