How to Wear Sleeveless Tops Now & Later!

Hey everyone, I hope you all had a nice weekend. As promised, today I’m sharing my latest Evereve try-on session + how to style each look for both summer and fall. I can’t beleieve we’re already taking about fall, but I’m so ready for it! It’s been 95+ degrees here in Louisiana lately so I’ve been turned down the AC super low in my house lately and dreaming of fall. I’m sure my husband doesn’t appreciate it, but a girl has got to dream right?

Scroll through this post to see how I styled each look two different ways. All of the pieces from today’s post are available at Evereve. You can also head over to my Instagram stories for videos of the try-on session.

For size reference, I’m 5 ft | bust size: 34 B | Tops & Dresses size small (2-4) | Bottoms 26/27 in jeans.

How to Wear Sleeveless Tops Now & Later!

Outfit 1 for summer: Rolling Stones Tee (wearing sz s)| Parker Shorts (wearing sz 27, but the 26 fits too— these run a little big, but I got the 27 for comfort) | Greece Sandals  (size up a half size)

Since I’m petite (5 ft), I always like to knot the front of my tees for a cute cropped look because it helps lengthen my legs when wearing high waisted bottoms. This rolling stones inspired tee is so comfy and cute for casual everyday wear.

Outfit 1 for Fall: Rolling Stones Tee (wearing sz S)| Good Legs Crop Fray Hem (runs TTS —wearing sz 4/27) | Grey Jenny Cardigan (wearing sz XS)

To style the tee for fall, I did swap out the cutoff shorts for some jeans and added cardigan. I would also throw on some ankle booties to complete the look.

Alteration Note: Since I’m only 5 ft, I did get both pairs jeans cut and tapered at the bottom!

Outfit 2 for Summer: Tiger Face Tank (wearing sz S) | Parker Shorts (wearing sz 27, but the 26 fits too— these run a little big, but I got the 27 for comfort)

I picked out this Tiger Face Tank because I thought it would be perfect for an LSU game day look.

I absolutely love this orange colored tank because it transitions so beautifully into fall and I’m all about a pop of color. I also love this cardigan because it’s nice and airy for those early days of fall when when you don’t quite need a sweater, but you want to wear your fall clothes anyway.

For outfit 5, instead of showing you how to wear it for fall, I thought I’d show you the perfect kind of outfit to wear during that awkward phase in between summer and fall.

Everything You Need For Effortless Boho Waves

Hi everyone, in case you missed it, I finally filmed my most requested video, which is how I curl my hair and create effortless boho waves! Let me start by saying that I’m no professional hairstylist! These are just my own personal tips and tricks to creating an effortless wave! You can check out the full video below!

As I mentioned in the video, I believe that every good hair day starts with a good shampoo and conditioner! With that being said, I use a few different types throughout the week: a purple shampoo, which is vital if you have highlights or any color in your hair & a clarifying shampoo that gets rid of product buildup like all that dry shampoo, texturizing spray and hair spray. I also like to use volumizing shampoo and conditioner for extra volume and a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner at least once a week.

Be sure to watch the video for all of the other products I use and you can shop them in the style board below!

I always use Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray all over my hair before I start curling. I demonstrate exactly how I use in the video.

This is how my hair looks after letting it set for 20 minutes and then brushing out the curls using a wet brush and adding more texturing spray and hair spray.

If I’m going to be out all day, I make sure to use a strong hold hair spray like this Kerastase Laque Noire Strong Hold Hair Spray or Salon Grafix Freezing Hair Spray Mega Hold.

Why You Need Ripped Mom Jeans

Happy Friday friends! Today I’m sharing one of my favorite local burger joints along with one of my weekend looks to show you why you need to hop on the ripped mom jeans band wagon. They’re basically the new “boyfriend jeans,” but better because they actually show off your figure. I found this exact pair at Abercrombie along with my off the shoulder bodysuit in today’s post. I love shopping for jeans at Abercrombie because I’m only 5 ft and they make short lengths for petite people, which is a amazing for us because then we don’t have to get them altered. I usually get all of my jeans hemmed, which means I have to lose the cute detail at the bottom so the short length option is a godsend for me. These exact ripped mom jeans also come in regular and long lengths for all you tall people out there too. Abercrombie also offers plus sizes as well.

Outfit: Off-the-Shoulder Bodysuit (wearing sz S)| Ripped High Rise Mom Jeans (wearing sz S 28)— I sized up because there is no stretch! | White Heart Sunglasses | Tan Mules (also available here)

I liked these jeans so much that I bought them in two different washes. Shop more of  my current favorite Abercrombie styles below.

I love how Abercrombie also carries a variety of women’s bodysuits because they’re perfect for pairing with high-waisted bottoms. They give you nice smooth and sleek look without making your bottoms look all bunched up.

Anytime I share my hometown, I usually bring you around New Orleans because that’s what everyone is familiar with, but this time I thought I would show you another cute area in my neck of the woods, Lee’s Diner. It’s the cutest little burger joint with the most delicious milkshakes and daily specials. You should also checkout Courtyard Cafe for the most amazing nutella crepes and lattes.
