the striped dress... continued

7/2/15

One dress, two looks... I already raved about this dress in my last post but here is another outfit idea! Dressed up or dressed down this dress works for any type of setting for The Forth of July! I love layers so I find a way for them to work even in the summer. This dress has such a simple silhouette that it can be paired with a cropped sweater without fail. For summer layers I make sure the pieces are light enough but adding a sweater on top of a summer dress can change the vibe completely. The nights are still chilly so adding a sweater over a dress for late night fireworks or a walk on the beach is ideal.

I wish these shoes were still available but I ordered them from Hautelook last summer and can not find the exact pair anywhere! (I linked a similar pair above) the ones I linked have a great wedge so they work on grass or other uneven surfaces! I love the touch of a white shoe against tan skin, and it helps that they go with everything so if you haven't purchased a pair for summer, you should!

Hope everyone has a great Independence Day Weekend

(there will be one more themed post tomorrow)

sunset slush

6/26/15

I do not really have much time to enjoy the summer. Most of the time I am working, and the rest of the time it is usually raining... ok, ok I get a few nice days off here and there but not as many as I would like. If I could, I would spend the entire summer at the beach. I would rotate swimwear and my main worry would be what flavor slush to choose, if only life were that simple. I should not be complaining, I love my job and most of the time I am there more than I need to be but when the summer rolls around I would kill to wake up and have nowhere to be & nothing to do.

End rant.

On to the outfit - stripes, an olive vest, and lace up sandals

1. I can get away with this outfit at work (with a little added attention to my hair)

2. This dress may double as a nighty (it is so soft)

3. These sandals were around $20 and I am all for a good bargain (and anything blush)

now go enjoy a slush, or an ice cream...

Blushing Again

4/21/15

Here we are again... This bush coat is hands down my favorite piece right now and you can probably guess why: its blush, and its transitional. The weather these past couple of weeks has been so temperamental, it goes from 70 degrees and sunny to 50 degrees and windy. This jacket is perfect over a tee and skinnies with a scarf but can also be flawless over a simple dress (they need to make more colors). It also dose not hurt that it is under $40!

Jacket- Forever 21 | flats- Gap (so old) | necklace- BaubleBar | tote- Old Navy (I also love the cream)

You'll probably see this jacket again,

Kay
