Styling Outfits with Prints and Patterns

Hey Loves!

Notice any similarities between this outfit and the outfit featured in our last post, Weekend Wear: Formal to Fun in a Flash?

All I did was swap out my floral print skirt with cute palm shorts (outfit details below). Everything else is the same! Black tank, jean vest and wedge sandals.

Don’t be afraid to wear patterns ladies (and gents!). If you’re a beginner, here are a few simple tips to remember.

  1. Keep the focus on one item of clothing that has a pattern/print
  2. Pair with solid colors
  3. Wear items with similar hues (for example, I chose blues and blacks, but could have easily worn a white tank also)

Outfit details:

  • palm shorts – Attention brand from Kmart – ($4 on clearance!)
  • jean vest – Adam Levine brand from Kmart
  • black tank – Target
  • wedge sandals – Nine West

Have a great weekend!

Weekend Wear: Formal to Fun in a Flash

Happy Friday!

We get it. Sometimes, when you’re running from one weekend event to the next, there’s not enough time to go home and change your outfit. So what’s a girl to do when you’re heading from church with the family to a fun Fourth of July BBQ with friends and need to look the part?!

Check out how we took this summer floral look from formal to casual chic by swapping out one clothing item for another. Yes, that’s right. A simple neutral blazer for a jean vest makes a huge difference.

Enjoy and Happy 4th!

xoxo,

“Fall”ing in love with October

Yes, Autumn is officially here, but the change in season isn’t going to stop us from enjoying this unusually warm weather. We’re still showing off a little skin!

What better way to celebrate October and the San Francisco Giants, by sporting some orange and black in this super simple one piece that’s both professional and chic? Throw on a pair of over sized sunglasses and some gold jewelry and you’re all set.

Also keep in mind that a large handbag makes it easier to stash a light cardigan in for those not so warm nights.

Happy Fall.
