3 Ways to Wear a Button up shirt

September 01, 2016

I have enjoyed styling my button up shirts a lot this summer. They are quite versatile and I think the right white button down shirt and denim shirt are wardrobe staples. These items shouldn't be investment pieces as you can pick yourself up a really good shirt for around 70 bucks or less if you shop the sale right! Old navy has a great selection that won't break the bank, and when Gap, Madewell, or Talbots has their sale, (which we all know they do several times a year) watch for your favorite to go down in price and grab it! I picked up my white shirt at Madewell, and my denim shirt at Talbots.

There are many ways to style a button up and here are a few of my most recent outfits. Tie it around your waist for a great layered look. One favorite by many is the half tuck. I shared both my chambray and my white button down with a half tuck in two outfits below. I layered my chambray shirt in the third picture with a light sweater; great look for transitioning seasons! Have fun with your button ups and think outside of the norm when it comes to traditional wear items!

Weekend Wear

August 31, 2016

arm party

So I have been home from vacation now for a few weeks and while the thought of putting away my sundresses and sandals is sooner than I would like, I have incorporated my bralettes nicely into my weekend wear. I am truly so happy I found a brand that is comfortable to wear all day. My favorite is the Cosabella racerback. I also love the Free People halter bralette and own it in several colors. For as long as I can remember I have worn underwire bras but lately I have noticed the wires being a bit uncomfortable. I am so glad I switched it up. Enough of bra talk... lets discuss fall transition for a bit. I know, I know, you're not suppose to wear white after labor day and that is this weekend. Well I call BS on that faux pas. White can be worn all fall if you layer it correct. Instead of a bright tee or top switch it out for a long sleeve tee in a more each tone color. Add a scarf to create a light layer and switch up your sandals for a heeled peep toe bootie. What would you wear with your white jeans to transition them for fall?

Style Tip: Add a pop of color to your outfit by layering your bralette in a bright fun color with your tee or top. You actually want your straps to show a little. It's a great accessory with a hint of color and lace.

Pink Tie Dye Sun Dress

August 29, 2016

Beach

Happy Monday, we made it through the weekend! As my vacation was coming to an end, we attempted to visit all the favorite spots in and around Palm Beach. Worth Avenue being one of these spots. The shopping is comparable to Rodeo Drive; just with prettier views of the ocean in my opinion! All of your high end designer shops are on Worth Avenue as well as some darling boutiques. I actually love the small boutiques and what you may find that is not as easily spotted on so many other fashionable woman. This dress is a boutique find. I spotted it in the window and dragged Gayle in and she agreed it was darling and looked like me. I love the print somewhere between a tie dye and a batik.

If you remember before I left on my trip, I shared my new Mezzi Cosima bag on my instagram, (follow me on instagram here if you don't already) and all the features this little cross body holds. Like a blue tooth for your phone, and a mini speaker to play your music. It even has a light inside to see in dimly lit locations. But what makes this bag the coolest is it's ability to fully charge your phone up to three full times! So if you're running low on juice because you have snap chatted the entire evening.... (we did several times) no worries, just plug your phone into your bag on the go and charge up! I have been a fan of the entire Mezzi line for a while now so to finally own one is awesome!! I now want to have the Mezzi Carezza bag too!

Blue Tank Dress with Cosabella Lace

August 23, 2016

arm party

Happy Tuesday. I am still in full summer mode and as I go through all my vacation pictures I am really not ready to say goodbye to summer anytime soon. We have had some unseasonably cool temperatures; morning lows 59 and 60's! It's flat out scary to think fall is so close. I have always loved summer and the warmer temperatures, but I do love fall once it is on full swing. Let's hope I still feel that way this year after such a fabulously warm time in southern Florida. When you think of layering you generally tend to think fall or spring. Think cardigans and blanket scarfs. Well today I am layering in the heat of summer and I love it!

I mentioned my new found Cosabella racerback bralettes when I shared my Cold Shoulder dress with you. Today I am showing you all the pretty little details; not to mention the back views. I love the delicate feel of my dress and paired with the lace it's a feminine look for sure. I knew that pairing this gorgeous chunky Ashley Pittman necklace would be the perfect statement necklace. Made of hammered brass links intertwined with horn, it is stunning. My earrings, also Ashley Pittman, are lightweight and so versatile. I love accessories that work across different seasons as well as able to dress up or down. These are the perfect statement earrings.
