One of your summer staples should be a white dress! This look takes little thought, and dresses give you the breeze you need in the summer heat. I love the ease of throwing on a dress before work and the minimal amount of time it takes to get ready. These dresses can also be dressed up or down. Casual Sunday afternoon: wear a sandal. Fancy Thursday night: wear a nude heel.

If you need a refresh or just want to add another to your wardrobe, you’ve come to the right place! I’ve found beautiful options at all price points. Can you tell I love ruffles and bows?

Happy shopping, and don’t forget to share this with a friend!

P.S. I own numbers 4 and 5 and wear them all the time! Number 4 looks especially great with blue.

As you all know, I love shopping online at ASOS. They have great deals and highlight some of the season’s best trends. Their in-house line, ASOS Collection, is one of my favorite brands they carry and is the designer of this skirt.

I love this skirt for many reasons. First being the cut. I like the way it accentuates my waist yet flares for ease of wear. The color is a unique addition to my closet being I NEVER buy anything purple, and lastly, I love the skirt’s details. The belt cinches the waist, and the pleats create the perfect amount of flare. Overall, I’m in love.

The blanket scarf – a perfect accessory for the fall. They come in bright plaids, neutral stripes and every color in between. Whether your fall consists of 80 degree days like mine or frigid 30 degree nights, the blanket scarf is a necessary addition to your wardrobe. Wear it as a shawl to dinner, a scarf to a college football game or as a cocoon walking the streets of a very breezy New York.

My favorite blanket scarf came from Madewell a couple of years back, and it hasn’t let me down since. It made an appearance on the Christmas card, in blog photos and served as a blanket in a frigid office.

Looks for Less

Today’s post is about getting looks for less. Most of us can’t afford outfits with these kinds of price tags, so I’ve done a little work for you. I’ve taken outfits from Farfetch and transferred them into everyday affordable looks. Enjoy!

Needless to say, most people can’t afford this look. The blouse is well over $600, not to mention the jeans, leather bag and shoes. I’ve curated a few pieces so that you can recreate this trendy yet classic outfit on your own. You can get this look for around $315 with the pieces I selected.

I love the color combo Farfetch has created. The bag alone is $1000, but I’ve created this look for under $400. These pieces  are very versatile and can be worn through fall/winter into spring.

I can’t say no to a pop of red. This past weekend I wore a bright red dress to a wedding, and I loved it. This look can be transitioned from work to casual. The Givenchy trousers will set you back $1200.

I want to start a new segment on my blog entitled “Friday Finds.” Here I will share my favorite items of the week. They may be new items, a restaurant I tried, or a piece of home decor. Who knows… I hope you ride along on this adventure with me.

North Star Stud Earrings

I’m obsessed with these diamond and starburst earrings. They come in 14k yellow, white and rose gold. You can wear them everyday or dress them up. They are $240 a pair.

Textured Stripe Swimsuit

I love that the one piece is back in style. First of all they are just so easy to wear. No slips will happen when you’re all locked into this swimsuit. I love the bow detail in the back, too.

RailGarten

Memphis residents and tourists have a new place to hang out! RailGarten, located in Midtown, has something for everyone. From the ice cream parlor and cocktail lounge to the indoor ping pong bar and the outdoor sand volleyball court. There is even outdoor music and the largest tire swing that even the adults will want to swing on. I can’t wait to go back!

Red Stripe Denim

This twist on your average white denim will make your spring and summer looks. Pair with any blue button down or a ruffled blouse, and you’ve got your summer go-to look.

Ferris Wheel Tee

Okay, how cute is this embroidered tee? Tuck into a denim bottom, slip on your Adidas tennies or favorite mules and you’re out the door.

Thanks for stopping by! Let me know what else you would like to see here.

I’m realizing that as my time in college is coming to an end, I won’t have nearly the same amount of opportunities to get dressed up. It seems like I’m always looking for a formal dress, and I want them to be unique. Not something that everyone has and that’s hard to come by. I’ve had great luck on ASOS – prices are reasonable and they have lots of stock to choose from. This dress has to be one of my favorites!
