Early Summer Sunshine

3 Apr posted by

Are you having beautiful weather wherever you are? I hope so!

The weather here has been downright beautiful. Maybe even, dare I say it, hot! I’ve loved bringing out my summer dresses (and purchasing some new ones). This dress was a new grab from a short trip home to see my family. I was at TJ Maxx with a friend and as she was trying things on, the print jumped out at me from the rack in the dressing room. I didn’t even try it on and just bought it! At only $14.99, it was a steal!

What have you snagged lately?

Layering It Up

2 Feb posted by

I often get comments from friends that I never wear the same thing twice. While I would love to have the wardrobe to pull that off, it often appears that way. How do I do it? By layering various pieces in new ways each time I wear them keeps my outfits fresh and my wardrobe afforable.

I’ve worn this dress so. many. times. I mean I should probably make a rule I need to wait to wear it again for awhile but I love it. It fits perfectly. It’s unbelievably comfortable. And it’s one of those dresses that I can wear with anything.

Add a key accessory (like a scarf) and it’s a totally different look than if I add a sweater, which is also different from how it looks with a shirt underneath. The list goes on.

When I decided to wear it this week I immediately wanted to look for a new way to wear it. I was in a LBD rut of sorts. Then I realized it would be perfect with this cowl neck dress shirt I don’t wear enough (let’s be honest – I’m just not a business casual girl).

Belting it in

12 Oct posted by

Have you ever put together an outfit and just felt ‘eh.’ Typically I feel this way because I feel like the outfit doesn’t give me enough shape (which is easy with my frame). Typically, the way I fix this is by adding something to break me up in the middle. I have a fairly long torso, so belting it in and breaking it up helps.

Have you tried this tip?

Last Moments of Summer

I just found a few summery photos on my camera that I had to share. For the most part, we’ve moved on to fall weather in Cincinnati but these photos remind me of warm rays on my face…

Making the LBD casual

3 Aug posted by

One of the best ways to get the most of your wardrobe is to have accessories that can dress up or down a simple piece. In this case, I took a basic little black dress and made it casual by adding a hipster-inspired tied neckscarf and sandals.

With the right jewelry and heels, this dress can actually look quite fancy!
