When putting an outfit together for a work day, sometimes the more subtle & professional you look, the better. However, it’s the minor details that make all the difference. For example, a flutter sleeve!
I love the color variety of these tops, along with the flattering v-neck & shoulder details. I imagine styling this with plaid pants & a cardigan, a pencil skirt & flywaway blazer, or hoop earrings & jeans. Also, I have my eye on the pumpkin hue, perfect for matching with black, navy, olive, khaki, & brown separates. How would you style this top? Which color do you like best?

Teachers everywhere, rejoice! Also, if you’re obsessed with all things “pumpkin spiced,” get your wardrobe ready for these must-have fall midi dresses that you can wear now & well into the holiday season!
I’m constantly torn over blogging about summer or fall fashion since there’s so much of both right now that is on sale & brand new, but a frequent question I get from friends & followers is how to build a capsule wardrobe. While this post isn’t going into great detail about the specifics of that, the best piece of advice I always give is to find pieces that you can wear multiple seasons & that layer well for a variety of occasion.
There is so much possibility with this top as the satin texture instantly dresses up any pair of jeans & slides, linen shorts & wedges, or peasant skirt & sneakers, but it can also be made even more sophisticated with a pencil skirt & stilettos, plaid trousers & ankle boots, or faux leather leggings & sneakers. This top is ideal for a professional look, a holiday dinner, happy hour, or date night. Keep an eye out for upcoming back-to-school deals from Old Navy to get a discount on this top that’ll be sure to rotate frequently in your wardrobe!
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:
Yes, it’s true. Fall is just around the corner, which means that richer, darker colors are on the horizon, along with more 90s throwbacks, like plaid & tiny florals. One such find includes this flutter blouse, which is a must-have for any weekend at a winery or fashionable day in the office.
When clicking on the new offerings by Tim & Tru, I was pleased to discover this blouse, which looks flowy & flattering, perfect to pair with dark denim jeans & a cardigan, a pencil skirt & pumps, or lace shorts & slides. This lightweight top is the perfect transitional piece as we move from summer to fall that’s both stylish & professional.
Statement jewelry with a vintage nod is all the rage currently, especially as we transition from summer into fall. While the changing seasons are ahead of us, the time is now to catch the best deals of jewelry on sale, especially at J. Crew Factory!
The hammered texture is the perfect contrast & detail to pair against an abstract print, tiny florals, houndstooth, or polka dots. I love the variety of earrings, as well as the hammered necklace, which is perfect for layering with a pendant or long chain for any date night or happy hour gathering with friends.

This season, there has been a lot of blending of pajamas with everyday loungewear, beachwear, & sportswear for women. And why not? We’re all running around so much & we want to be comfortable. If there’s anything that COVID-19 taught us, it’s to slow down. We can always dress up for extra special occasions, but when it comes to general casual dressing, it can still be both stylish & comfortable! Now that pajamas are being made more & more fashionably, why not get the most out of a garment & wear it during the day? It’s your secret (…kind of!)!
Any of these midi length dresses can be styled with a denim jacket or relaxed blazer, along with sneakers, braided slides, or jeweled flip-flops. Not to mention, they can also be accessorized with raffia earrings, bangles, or layered necklaces. How would you style these effortless dresses? Which color & pattern do you like best? Do you wear sleepwear during the day? For more stylish posts, check out: ribbed tanks for under $5, buckle mules by A New Day, & white skirt looks inspired by Taylor Swift & Priyanka Chopra-Jonas!

In the summer, a tank top is a versatile must-have. It’s always a good idea to maintain an array of colors to mix & match with bottoms, like shorts in a variety of materials, skirts of all lengths, & pants in any color or pattern, & jeans. This option, under $5, also has a rib texture & snug fit for when you want to show off your curves or contrast flowy bottoms.
I have quite a few of these to wear to bed, but also with wide leg tropical pants, linen shorts, or midi skirts. these have a 5-star rating & the color variety is so fun. How would you style these tanks? Which color is your favorite? Where are you shopping for summer essentials?

The summer of sets continues, especially with linen & cotton separates that are light & flowy, along with being interchangeable with other wardrobe staples. Back in April, I posted about Joyspun’s new sets, which have since expanded!
Wear these for a good night’s sleep or style them up with wedges or slides, a crossbody bag, & raffia hoop earrings. The possibilities are endless! How would you style these pieces? Do you wear sleepwear for day? Which color & print do you prefer? For more stylish posts, check out: chic buckle mules for fall, a cozy terry cover-up, & Olivia Rodrigo’s Vogue cover shoot!

One of my favorite summer purchases has to be an unexpected swim find, which has the ease of loungewear & versatility of athleisure for the pool or beach.
During a recent road trip to an out-of-state water park, I wore this with my swimsuit & shorts underneath during the drive & then between rides. I wish it was available in other colors as the white & metallic combination would be very chic. How would you style this piece? How many cover-up options do you have? Where are you headed this summer? For more stylish posts, check out: stylish summer slides,the smocked tank you’ll wear everywhere, & colorful straw totes! Happy Styling!
It’s not secret that white skirts, whether mini, midi, or maxi, are on trend for the summer time; however, inspiration from celebrity street style offers a variety of ways to wear this seasonal staple year-after-year.
Selena Gomez, Katie Holmes, Taylor Swift, Olivia Wilde, & Priyanka Chopra Jonas in white midi & maxi skirts
I love how it’s a lighter contrast to a heavier knit on a cool morning or evening, as well as a dressy way to coordinate a graphic tee or polish off a crop top for a special occasion. Not to mention, white-on-white monochrome is classic for the hotter days when you want to feel & look effortless. Here are some affordable & inclusive suggestions to get inspired by Selena, Katie, Taylor, Olivia, & Priyanka’s white skirt style.
Summer is the season of slides & flats, especially neutral & colorful pops to coordinate with any outfit. As you make more & more summer plans, staying comfortable in a low slide that can be styled many different ways is essential!
The tortoise detail on the buckle is by far my favorite part of these slides; however, the fabric also dresses them up for not only a fun weekend getaway, but also for a casual Friday at the office. I’m super excited that these sandals are currently marked down & might just get myself a pink pair! How would you style these flats? Which color do you like best? How often do you opt for slides?

During a recent jaunt to Kohl’s (with some Kohl’s cash to burn), I was pleasantly greeted with a smocked tank that can seamlessly be styled from day to night in a variety of ways. I bought the green & have already worn it with linen pants & ankle pants for work & weekend, loving the flowy silhouette.
While I can’t recommend this top enough, it is made from a rather sheer fabric, which is why I stayed away from buying the white. The square neckline is perfect for some shorter layered necklace or a long chain. Not to mention that this would look great tucked into shorts or paired with a mini, midi, or maxi skirt. How would you style this top? Which color do you like best? Where are you shopping for summer staples?

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!
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?

With all the necessities that go into planning a vacation, road trip, weekend getaway, or beach day, a sturdy & spacious tote is a must! Aside from a canvas find with a playful saying in it, consider crochet to accessorize your next summer adventure, especially with just under 16 inches in height & width!
The shoe of the season is a slide, which is available in multiple varieties this summer, including flower details, metallic tones, jewels a-plenty, & multiple straps. Additionally, to play up a “hardware” look, enter: the buckle.
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.
‘Tis the season for sundresses! Whether you’re trying to beat the heat or stay stylish, there are so many options right now that can easily be dressed up or down for any occasion. Take a look through these 5 fashionable, affordable, & inclusive dresses to build your next look!
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.
If interested in ordering these days, I’d recommend sizing up as I originally ordered XL, but then returned & repurchased XXL. I can’t wait to style these with fit & flare skirts, patterned bottoms, denim cut-offs, & pull-on pants. How would you style these tops? Which color do you like best? How do you like to wear lace?

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.
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? How often do you wear t-strap sandals? Where are you shopping for summer footwear?

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:
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!
I love the green option—being my favorite color—but also the stripes & florals are definitely popular for a reason. Any of these dresses will look fabulous with colorful beads, raffia earrings, or stacked bangles, as well as with a crochet cardigan & braided slides.
As temperatures rise & summer plans are made, cute & functional swimwear is necessary for a fun time! Aside from a swimsuit that I’m feeling confident in, I love a cover-up that doubles in style & purpose, like a printed dress that can go from poolside to the next destination.
I love the fruity option most, especially with sparkly slides & a chunky bangle. Not to mention that a little chain link belt would easily transform this cover-up into a stylish mini dress.
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.
SHOP:floral earrings @LOFT (on sale: $24.99, use code: CYBER for extra 50% off).
Depending on the look you’re going for, I wouldn’t recommend wearing these pieces together, but they’re perfect with more subtle accessories for any occasion any time of year, including a summer wedding, weekend gathering with friends, or date night.
Last summer, my love for linen (& caring for linen) began with these tanks, which are available currently for linen shorts or wide leg pants, denim cut-offs, peasant skirts, or ankle pants.
I love the ease & loose fit of these tops, along with the classic neckline. These are summer staples for me on weekends when my style priority is comfort. How would you style these tops? Which is your favorite? How often do you wear linen? For more stylish posts, check out: smocked tops for under $14, affordable beach totes, & statement jewelry from Macy’s. Happy Styling!
