My hair will continue to be on top of my head if it stays this hot. Mercy…

Skirts can be hard to style. You want the perfect top to tuck in, to leave out or to sit right at the top of your waistband. I often avoid skirts unless I know I have that perfect top to pair back. I bought this skirt as a set to the matching blouse, BUT I hadn’t figured out what else to pair it with until I felt inspired by its texture. I tucked this old eyelet blouse into the skirt for the perfect work look.

Get inspired by what you already have in your closet!

I’m wearing some oldies but goodies today! There’s nothing greater or more classic than a white and denim combo, and you can most likely create this look with what you already have in your closet. I got this Theory dress about 5 years ago, and it still remains a front runner after all these years. A white fit and flare won’t go out of style, so why not splurge and get one of great quality to last. I linked some similar options for you try!

ALSO, how adorable are my resin earrings from Hudson Carter?? I’ve partnered with them to give YOU 15% off your order using code “SS15.” They’ve got clothes and accessories you must check out! Don’t forget to follow them on Instagram because they post a lot of really great pieces that aren’t online (how I got my earrings). Share this with your friends, too!

Hi friends, it’s me again! I am loving this embroidered Zara dress. I’ve worn it to work, and I have to say it was definitely comfortable but not wrinkle friendly. This dress is super versatile which is something I look for when shopping. I can wear it to work, casually on the weekends with sneakers and then to church with a simple flat.

Be on the look out for July 4th outfit inspiration coming this Friday! It’s not too early to start planning your holiday look!

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

Once again, I have fun getting dressed in the morning. I’ve paired two older pieces and brought them back to life! The blouse is technically a tunic which allows me to have ample fabric to tie. The skirt is a great transition piece that I can pair with a white blouse in the summer and with a black sweater for the fall and winter. The piece I’m most proud of is the black suede slide that I’m wearing. I got these at TJ Maxx for $16.99, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. This style is selling at big department stores for over $200. Mine look the same yet cost a fraction of the price.

If you haven’t noticed, the bandana is back in style. I used to wear them as a child, and it’s nice to see a trend resurface. There are many ways to wear your scarf: as a headband, neckerchief (tie in front), pointed scarf (tie in back), and as a ponytail scarf. I have linked a few of my favorites below.

So my sweet boyfriend, Henry, gave me these headphones for graduation, and I’m already obsessed. My old ones would always get tangled in my necklaces, but these stay behind your neck. The sound is also extremely clear and wipes out excess noises. I definitely recommend these for those who exercise often.
