Nothing says full summer like a dress painted in ice cream. And what better way to compliment a bold print than by pairing it with summer friendly accessories? Today’s outfit is a little out of the box, but it’s summer and there’s no better time to experiment. I threw these things together and initially thought…
Summer Outfits
Making it Work
Today, I decided to go rogue. All of my usual outfit formulations weren’t working for me, so I went in the opposite direction. I’m not going to lie, it started out rough. I love a plan. I love to have a vision! But, I was determined to make it work.
When You Can’t Be Bothered
Some days, I feel like I’m really on my A-Game when it comes to style inspiration. The outfits are coming together perfectly, I’m excited to get dressed in the morning, and I’m reminded why I love style so much. Then comes a day when I simply can’t be bothered. It seems funny to include an…
Travel Shoe Upgrade
I went on vacation at the beginning of the summer and made a critical error. I exclusively packed aspirational shoes. In this scenario, aspirational foot wear looked like shoes that I’ve broken in, but are not necessarily comfortable for long distance walking. Of course, on my trip, there was plenty of long distance walking. I’m…
Summer’s Last Hurrah
Normally I’d be upset about the summer heat encroaching on my favorite season, but this year is different. Just as I was lamenting the loss of summer weather, the hot temperatures have returned for one final run. I’m taking advantage of summer’s last hurrah by styling a few seasonal favorites for this transitional weather. I…
Statement Skirt
There are many things in my closet that I instantly gravitate towards because they’re comfortable, they go with everything, and they’re easy to style. This skirt is not one of those pieces. I don’t know what it is about this particular statement skirt, but sometimes it feels like the pattern, the color, and the beading…
Skort Take Two
Over the years, I’ve tried to develop a certain level of intentionality when it comes to shopping. Gone are the days of regular seasonal hauls. In their place, I’ve made a point of letting an item marinate in my mind for a while. Not only has this helped curb impulsive spending, but it has also…
Same But Different
I love creating unique and layered outfits. Playing around with different textures and colors makes getting dressed all the more fun. However, if I’m being completely honest, my day to day style is not always so revolutionary. In fact, I typically operate with a ‘same but different’ philosophy. The ‘same but different’ idea is simple….
Business Casual
Do poplin and loafers automatically categorize an outfit as business casual? This may be the loosest interpretation of a theme, but I’m running with it anyway. Ok, so I wouldn’t actually wear this to an event that calls for business casual attire. However, I’ve found that taking a theme and creating a different spin brings…
Personality Over Practicality
I love a functional outfit. There’s nothing like feeling fully capable of taking on all that the day has in store. High temperatures? A lot of walking? No problem. I’ve got an outfit for that. I’ve learned over the years how to combine my love for function with my love for fashion to create outfits…
