After posting my off the shoulder post earlier this week, I received so many compliments and comments from y’all that you are loving this off the shoulder trend. I don’t blame ya cause I’m right there with ya! It is no April fools joke that I bought 3 of these yesterday. This bare shoulder trend is here to stay all summer long so why not stock up now? Let’s be honest: everyone knows Fridays are for online shopping anyways. I’ve included options for all budgets. Happy shopping!
Have you noticed these off the shoulder tops are having a moment? What do I mean by that? This off the shoulder trend has blown up recently and I am definitely a fan! Last year it was all about showing off your midriff with the popular crop tops and this year it’s all about the shoulders. I would put money on it that this trend is here to stay all summer long. I’ve already added several of these tops and dresses to my wardrobe for the upcoming warmer weather. I have seen this trend worn a million different ways and you can honestly dress them up however you would like. Since this peasant, off the shoulder top is flowy I decided to pair it with a more form fitting bottom, specifically some distressed denim jeans.
I wore this simple, chic outfit to a blogger event last week and received so many compliments on this top. I can’t get over that it is only $17! The best part about a trendy piece like this is that you can pair it with jeans or something super casual and let the top do all of the talking. The mid sleeve ties are just enough to balance a tailored look. This outfit looks chic and put together when all I really did was put on some jeans and spruce it up with a pair of cute heels (which are only $16 and such a steal!). Isn’t it amazing what a good pair of shoes can do?
What do you guys think about this trend? Are you loving it as much as I am?
So most of y’all probably saw the title of this post and thought LIAR! You know me too well. Let’s be honest, there is almost nothing “fit” about me. I like my Chick-fil-a Mondays, my daily glass (or 2) of red wine, and I can’t live without my crepes. I do not work out on a regular basis and the word “diet” is a foreign word to me. I’ve been blessed with some good genes and live without having to watch what I eat for the most part. BUT that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy wearing athletic clothes like the next person. I am a firm believer that leggings are in fact pants and are an essential piece of clothing on a daily basis. As soon as I hit the door from work, I throw on my comfiest leggings and an oversized shirt (thanks sorority days for the 100 t-shirts). If you catch me out and about on the weekends there is also a 99% chance you will find me in athletic wear and I chuckle every time some asks me if I just came from the gym. [Insert awkward laugh here]
Hope you all are enjoying this Good Friday! I slept in, made a big gourmet breakfast (well I supervised), and am about to head to my parents house for the weekend as soon as I am done writing this post! The whole family will be in town this weekend and I can’t wait for some good food, time spent huddled around puzzles, and thanking Jesus that I can do all of this because of him. HE IS RISEN! God bless each and every one of you and may you have a blessed Easter weekend in the comfiest clothes that you own 🙂
Spring has officially kicked off and I could not be happier to pull out all of my warm weather clothes! Anyone else with me? My closet always seems a little less cheerful during the winter. Winter is known for darker colors and heavier materials. As soon as Spring hits, I push all of those dark Winter clothes aside and bring out the bright colors, florals, and lighter weight clothes. I would take the heat over the cold ANY day. Probably for the best because I don’t foresee moving away from Texas any time soon and we pretty much live in the heat down here!
This past weekend I attended the Houston Symphony for the first time. One bucket list item checked off and 1000 more to go. While the symphony was amazing, I think my favorite part about the entire night was that I got to get dressed up. That never happens anymore it seems like so any chance that I can wear a nice dress and I am in!
This dress. Let me start off by saying I think that it has earned the spot as my favorite in my closet. The detailing on it is amazing! From the bright colors to the fun length to the beaded collar, this dress makes a statement and I felt like a celebrity wearing it. I like to think that it says business in the front, party in the back. But mostly just party all around 😉
I am so mad that when I bought this dress and shoes a couple of weeks ago that they were available online, but since then they are sold out everywhere. I have linked a similar dress option for you guys but unfortunately it is a little pricey. What do you guys think of this “high-low” trend? I personally am loving it! I have also linked several gorgeous pink shoe options for Spring below.
Last week I grabbed lunch with blogger besties, Dede and Britt, to celebrate a big milestone for Britt. I secretly love that they can meet up with me for lunch or go shopping on my lunch break. It is such a great beak from work but usually ends up making me not want to go back!
I wore this cute, black scalloped dress to work and lunch with the girls. Several people asked me if I had a “hot date” after work so I think you could say that this dress could also been worn outside of the office as well. Spoiler alert: There was no “hot date” but I am all about an outfit that I can transition from work to after 5. I LOVE the scalloped hem on this dress. As I have said before, whenever you have a more simple outfit, you can spice it up with the details. This is where the leopard heels, pink clutch and statement necklace came in to the picture! O and did I mention that this adorable dress is under $20?!
I think you guys like it when I give you options so I went in search of some more leopard heels and am starting to think I might need to add another pair to my collection. I wear mine literally all the time because they spice up any plain outfit. My favorites can be found here (under $40) and here (under $90).
