Love-Hate: Dresses

Not quite sure why, but I’ve had a love-hate relationship with dresses for years now. I love how easy it is to throw one on and you’re dressed, how girly it can make you feel, or best of all: how dressy it makes you. All this love, but theres still that something. This summer, I’ve decided to branch out, and go beyond my comfort zone to evolve my style and maybe even pin point “why such a love-hate?“.

On the hunt, I began thinking of the best places to wear a dress. The beach? A night out? Work & Play? All of the above! Here are some favorite finds sure to keep you looking and feeling cool over the summer months…

BEACH DAYS

NIGHT OUT

WORK + PLAY


Keep in mind, dresses instantly dress up your style, so depending on your mood you can throw in a sporty vibe like this white sneaker to soften up your look & keep it chill. Now, time to dress up! Xx

Woah, new look! Yes, I finally did it and went dark(er) saying goodbye ombre, hello new shade! As much as I loved the thought of going blonde, my hair did not. So, here we are, with a great start to one of the biggest changes, a woman can make; hair. You get it, right?! Change is better!

One better to the next, life is always better with tassels and stripes. Tassels are probably one of my favorite flares to any outfit, from earrings, necklaces, to the detailing on a blouse, they’re so fun! I just bought this tassel top and it’s so soft and easy to wear. I’m totally digging espadrilles for summer and this pair was way too perfect to pass up.

Thanks for stopping by! Xx

SJP

Hi fam! Hope it’s been a great week for you all. I’m so pumped to share this post with you guys because I know you’re not going to believe it. Ever get side tracked at The Rack and somehow find yourself on the shoe isle with decisions you have no business making? Me. Too.

As I walk away and talk myself out of every sandal I need, I spy SJP, in my size, with a jaw dropping worthy reaction. Although the decision was a no brainer, I still contemplated since I was trying to stay focused for what I was really there for—but who can focus with $15 Sarah Jessica Parker sandals staring into your sole??! Exactly.

In minutes, I had planned an imaginary girls trip to Mexico, drinking margaritas, dancing in until sunrise, all for the perfect place to wear them. What can I say, I’m a dreamer…in some amazing Italian SJP’s.

Hope you all had a happy weekend! I spent mine celebrating yet another year older with my close friends. Definitely felt the love and appreciate special moments like that!

Today I’m all about this lace-up top I found shopping in Iowa. I’ve been on a lace-up kick lately so don’t be surprised when you start seeing a trend :). I’m totally loving this one for summer and super love this. My favorite high-waisted jean came through for the perfect pairing.

Thanks for stopping by & have a sweet Monday. Xx
