Two Ways to Wear an Off The Shoulder Dress!

We’re almost to July and I’m still rocking two of my favorite trends for summer: fringe and off the shoulder! Today, I’m sharing two ways to wear this navy off the shoulder dress from Chicwish including a little fringe action and the best part– the dress is under $50!

Good Morning readers, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and that this week goes by quickly so we can celebrate the 4th of July! Speaking of the 4th of July, this little off the shoulder dress from Chicwish would make a super cute Independence Day outfit! I also love it in the white version (here) and the chambray version (here) too!

As you can see in the photos above, I styled the dress for day time with a straw tote, ankle strap sandals and a floppy hat. For night time, I changed into wedges, lost the hat and swapped out the tote for a bright fringe clutch.  How would you style this dress?

Thank you to Chicwish for bringing you this post. All opinions are my own. 

What to Wear When It’s Haute! Part 3

It’s still hot people! It’s STILL hot, but don’t worry because I still have more of ‘what to wear when it’s haute’ outfit posts coming for you! You may recognize today’s dress from a recent photo if you follow me on Instagram. You also might notice that I have featured this same style dress in a few different prints on my blog including Jazz Fest. See (here). That’s because the Bella style dress by Show Me Your Mumu is amazing and it comes it different prints year round so I tend to scoop it up in fun new print every season! I got this particular print from Herringstone’s Boutique.

In case you’ve never heard of Fotostrap, it’s the camera strap that gives back! I first heard about the brand from my photographer, Kaela when I noticed her customized camera strap with her logo. She told me you could even get your initials monogrammed on the strap. Then I recently learned that with every purchase, Fotostrap donates 10% to Fotolanthropy, a non-profit that gives portrait sessions and short films to inspiring people who are overcoming adversity. “By choosing Fotostrap, you are directly helping to fund Fotolanthropy! It is because of our Fotostrap customers that Fotolanthropy can continue to give, capture and share inspiring true stories.” Learn about this movement by visiting www.fotolanthropy.com

What to Wear When It’s Haute! Part 2

As promised, here is another easy breezy outfit to wear when it’s just too ‘haute’ outside featuring this MinkPink dress from Mimosa Boutique. I love the little keyhole detail in front and the bright and colorful print of this lightweight, flowy dress. The best part is that there is little styling involved! All it took to style this look was a floppy hat, a nude pair of heels and my Jenn Bucket Bag! You could easily dress the look down with a pair of flat sandals too.

Summer Maxi Dresses + A Promo Code!

Who doesn’t love fun printed summer maxi dresses?! They’re light, breezy and require little styling so what’s not to love! I’ll be honest, I actually didn’t love this dress when it arrived. When I pulled it out of the box, I was like “umm…. I think this print is a little much for me.”  Then once I put the dress on, I fell in love! It’s fitted through the body, but the bold print distracts people from noticing any of my bodily imperfections. When I say ‘bodily imperfections,’ I just mean I don’t normally like to wear fitted dresses because I always feel like I have to suck in the whole time. However, with this loud print you can’t even tell.
