Cold Shoulder Maxi Dress

I know in the fashion blogging world, the cold shoulder trend is all the rage. I personally love the cold shoulder look, but rarely find myself wearing it. I’ll be honest, my days of wearing anything but a regular bra are pretty much over. Gone are the strapless bra days, which is probably why I don’t wear the trend a lot. I actually already own this exact maxi dress in black and couldn’t resist getting the navy version this year. Trust me when I say this dress is worth wearing a strapless bra for!

I love a good maxi dress, especially one with special details and accents. I mean, who isn’t a sucker for a dress with pockets? The side slit detail on this maxi is perfect for summer, and also for us tall girls! It’s often a struggle to find a maxi dress that is long enough. This one isn’t necessarily too short, but the slit detail helps distract from the fact that it’s just a tad shorter than I would prefer. I actually wore this exact outfit to the beach while we were in Santa Cruz and it makes the perfect cool and casual beach outfit!

What to Wear for 4th of July

what to wear for 4th of july

The 4th of July always tends to be one of my favorite holidays to celebrate. There’s just something about spending time with family while eating delicious food and watching fireworks that I love. Summer is also one of my favorite seasons, and I’m so glad it’s finally here. 4th of July is only about a week and a half away, so of course I’m starting to outfit plan. I just got the cutest star top (with a scalloped hem!) in the mail for Harper. I wish it came in my size, but since it doesn’t, I’ll have to go with plan B. I’m pretty sure you’ll be seeing me wearing my favorite pair of white frayed cuff jeans on the 4th. You can also never go wrong with a simple embroidered white dress and a cute pair of wedges.

When thinking about what to wear for any holiday, I like to find pieces that are versatile and can be worn almost any day of the year. While I’m all for a cute patriotic scarf, I personally like to stick to more simple patterns, like a nice striped tee. Off the shoulder tops are all the rage right now, and I’m totally obsessed with this cute option from Old Navy! You guys also know I can’t live without my Rockstar jeans, and how perfect are the distressed mid-rise pair I’m sharing today?

What are you planning to wear for the 4th of July?

Date Night Style // Leopard Print & Lace

Happy Friday friends! You may be wondering, “why is she wearing a blazer when it’s 100 degrees out?” Well, if you follow my Insta-stories, you may have seen that I randomly fainted last week. As a result, I earned myself some pretty intense cuts and scrapes. Thankfully they have healed up pretty well so far, but I figured I would spare you my bare arms for awhile. I’ve had this lace cami for a few months now, and always wear it underneath a jacket or vest. Spaghetti straps are not my friend anymore now that I am older. I knew I couldn’t go full-on blazer with this look, considering the heat, but this cape blazer felt like the perfect finishing touch.

Definitely a silly #bloggerproblem but for the life of me I couldn’t figure out what to title today’s post. I’ve mentioned before that every outfit I share on here is something I have actually worn, or plan to wear, in real life. This outfit, however, has not yet made it out for an actual date night, but doesn’t it seem like the perfect night out look? I always feel more comfortable wearing pants, and my husband actually prefers jeans/pants to dresses, so I always opt for them on date night. I could live in Old Navy Rockstar jeans, and I love this simple black pair because they’re so versatile. They’re also almost always on sale, sometimes as low as $20 or less!

The next few Friday’s on here will be a little bit different, as Megan and I won’t be hosting The Weekly Style Edit link up. This is only temporary, and in lieu of us getting prepared for the launch of a new lifestyle online magazine, Live Plentiful. The site will be up and running in July, but in the meantime, be sure to like us on Facebook and follow along on Instagram for all of the launch details.

White Jeans for Summer + The Weekly Style Edit Link Up

You guys… it has been a week! One of those weeks where it feels like there isn’t enough time in the day and you’re so exhausted by 7pm. I think coming back from vacation and straight into another short week really did a number on me. I am definitely welcoming this weekend with open arms. Speaking of the weekend, I have a feeling I may be repeating this outfit. I was never a fan of white jeans, but I think I have officially found the perfect pair! After a long search, I found this pair that are flatting on every body type. They come in petite, regular, and tall, and are under $70. They feel lightweight, but are thick enough to not feel like they are see-through at all. You need these in your life!

If you follow me on Instagram (which you should, if you aren’t!), you may recognize these jeans. I legit spilled a huge blob of my foundation on them a few weeks ago before I ever had the chance to wear them. After trying some failed remedies and getting helpful advice from others, I somehow managed to completely remove the stain! It took me about 4 days, but now I feel like I can do just about anything haha! I also feel like I can wear white a lot more often because I’m not worried about ruining the fabric.

Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale + The Weekly Style Edit Link Up

Let me guess… you’ve seen at least 10 posts by now about the Nordstrom sale right? Every time a big sale happens, I feel like the blogging world goes crazy. Sometimes, as a reader, I feel like I am over-saturated with a lot of the same posts all at the same time. With that being said, it’s usually for good reason! Any time Nordstrom has a sale, I have to admit that I am completely sucked in. It is so easy to find so many cute pieces for such great prices. Usually a lot of the items I’ve had on my wishlist go on sale, and when that happens, it’s all over!

The beautiful Baublebar bib necklace I am wearing above is on sale for 40% off, which pretty much never happens. I love the pop of color it adds to any outfit, and I am always getting compliments on this piece. Another one of my favorites from the sale is the Lush roll tab sleeve tunic I am wearing below. It comes in 7 colors, is under $30, and is definitely a year-round staple of mine. It fits a little oversized, and perfect to wearing with your favorite pair of jeans or leggings. I definitely plan on picking up this Free People tank and Sole Society pumps before the sale ends on June 4th!

Lace Peplum Top & The Weekly Style Edit Link Up

Happy Friday! I hope you had a fabulous week so far. My week has been even better than usual because I have been on vacation! This is actually the first family vacation I’ve been on since I found out I was pregnant with Harper about 2 1/2 years ago. Let’s just say it has been long overdue! Today I am sharing the prettiest lace peplum top from Cest Ca New York. You may remember last week I shared mommy & me tulle skirts from the same shop, which are equally as beautiful as this top.

I’m usually not drawn to such delicate pieces, but something about this top felt very versatile and accessible. It’s always fun to pair feminine tops with distressed denim. I love how these jeans added a bit of roughness to this beautiful lace top. These Steve Madden wedges are still on repeat, and I am not kidding when I say they are so comfortable. I actually wore this outfit out last weekend to celebrate my best friend’s birthday, and was able to walk around all night with ease. It’s not every day that you can find a pair of wedges that are comfortable enough to wear for hours on end.
