Good Morning readers, what do you think of Jazz Fest look #2?  As you can see I’m a huge fan of fringe and Jazz Fest is the perfect excuse to dust off all of your fringe clothing and accessories. For this look, I used my highlighter studded bag to pull out the bright orange color in the tee and the color of my nails.  Speaking of my nails, I’ve been getting a lot of inquires about the color, but I actually have no idea what the color is called.  However, I do know that Tart Deco by Essie is very similar to this neon hue and I definitely recommend adding it to your collection of summer polishes.

Also, if you really like this fringe top and you don’t like the one similar that I shared above,  you should try making one yourself with just a plain scoop neck tee from Walmart and some bright colored paint.  Just snip the ends of the tee to create the fringe and voilà! You’ve made your very own Jazz Fest top!  Plus you won’t have to worry about running in to anyone with the same outfit!

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a great weekend.  I apologize for my lack of posts lately, but this last week and a half has been super hectic for me with the work, the Doves of a Feather necklace and the Reward Style Conference in Dallas. (Follow me on Instagram @HauteOffTheRack for photos from the conference).  However, I am back and in full swing!  I have so many amazing collaborations coming to Haute Off The Rack soon including C. Wonder, Kendra Scott, Neiman Marcus Last Call, Elaine Turner Designs and more!  Let’s just say it’s going to be a great summer.  As for the outfit, what do you think of my coat of many colors?  This is what I wore to Day 1 of the Reward Style conference in Dallas this past week.  It was actually a last minute decision before I walked out the door, but it ended up being a boho chic hit!  I got so many compliments on my colorful Tart Collections Wrap and Krystal Knot necklace by Dotted Tusk.  One person even told me that my outfit look very Rachel Zoe-inspired, which is the ultimate compliment in the fashion world. I met some incredible people at the conference including my all time favorite blogger Wendy Nguyen from Wendy’s Lookbook.  She was just as wonderful in real life as I had imagined her!  I even met some new bloggers to follow and got to discuss some style collaboration ideas with them.
