Good Morning readers and welcome to Day 2 of Haute Off The Rack’s Island Getaway.  Today’s look is all about the Little Black Dress.  What I really love about LBD’s is that they give you so much room to get creative.   When it comes to styling little black dresses, the sky is the limit!  Plus when you’re stuck on what to wear, you can always go for Plan LBD.  That is why it is vital to pack a little black dress on your summer getaways because you never know when you might just need to throw one on and rush out the door.  You can always trust that dress because you know it looks good on you and you can easily dress it up or down with the right jewelry and accessories which you’ll hopefully remember to pack plenty of.  As you can see, I paired my dress with the both a casual Target beach bag and a dress shoulder bag by Elaine Turner.

Now, if you haven’t found your perfect little LBD yet, I highly recommend this little off the shoulder Show Me Your Mumu Lily Scrunch dress.  The polyester material is excellent for resisting wrinkles in your suitcase.

Packing tips: Make sure when packing for summer vacations that you remember to pack plenty of jewelry and accessories because in most cases just a change of shoes and accessories will allow you to transition your look from day to night without having to change your clothes.  This way you can keep your luggage under the 50 pound limit!

Good Morning readers, how fabulous are these floral shorts from Candy Apple!  They’re so fun and flirty for the summer especially with the ruffle detail on the sides.

For this look, I paired the shorts with a graphic designer tee to maintain the playful quirky look of the floral bottoms. Then I added the colorful statement necklace and mint studded clutch to pull out some of the colors in the pattern of the shorts. Lastly, I added plenty of wrist candy and actually tried two different options for shoes.  First, I tried my mint Dee Keller wedges and then I tried my nude ankle strap heels. The mint wedges definitely maintained the fun and colorful vibe of the outfit, but I think I preferred the toned-down look of the nude ankle strap heels.  What do you think?

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a great weekend full of warm sunny weather.  We sure had some hot sunny weather here in Louisiana.  It’s finally starting to feel like summer around here so if you haven’t felt ready to break out your shorts, tanks and swim suits now is the time.

I plan on wearing this Haute Hippie Longhorn tank even more casually than how I styled it here, but this is how I might transition it from day to night.  I just added some wedges and a white blazer to you how you can clean up your casual summer time look without actually having to change your whole outfit.
