Summer Outfit Hacks with Ann Taylor

Hey everyone, I hope you all had a nice weekend. Today I’m sharing a fun Fourth of July outfit idea with Ann Taylor that is sure to keep you cool on this hot holiday. The temps have been in the high 90s down here in Louisiana lately, which makes it so hard to get dressed in the morning considering you don’t even want to put clothes. Unfortunately, no clothing is not an option so I’ve come up with a couple of cute outfit hacks to make getting dressed a little more enjoyable in this extreme heat!

1) The Scarf Top

My top favorite summer outfit hack is the “scarf top.” I love converting full, lightweight scarves into stylish cropped tops during the summer time. I found this floral embroidered scarf at Ann Taylor and it just so happens to be 40% OFF right now with code: MYSTERY

I love me some slide sandals especially when they’re hot pink! I scored this pretty pair from Ann Taylor for 40% OFF! A pink pair of sandals is the the perfect way to add a fun pop of color to any summer outfit.

2) Bring on the shade!

One of best ways to protect your face from the sun other than SPF is with a stylish summer hat like this pom pom Fedora.

3) Make a “cool” statement in all white!

 Did you know that white and light pastel colors actually dispel heat instead of absorbing it? So not only do white monochromatic outfits make you look effortlessly chic, but it also helps keep you cool too?

If you love all of these ideas, make sure to head over to Instagram for a chance to WIN a $1,000 shopping spree to Ann Taylor to spruce up your summer wardrobe!

How To Style Colorful Sandals For Summer

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and Mother’s Day! I’m just getting back into the swing of things since returning from Palm Beach. I actually didn’t want to leave and I’m currently plotting ways on how I shall return to Palm Beach and maybe even move there. Okay…so maybe I won’t go as far as moving there, but I will definitely be visiting again very soon. As you an see from the photos below, I’m not exaggerating when I say that every corner, front yard, alleyway and even stairway were just so breathtaking! I was so glad that I packed a suitcase full of printed dresses, rompers and colorful accessories to complement the beautiful backdrops of Palm Beach including these spicy mustard sandals from Sole Society in today’s post.

Speaking of the sandals featured in today’s post, I notice that a lot of people tend to avoid colorful sandals in fear of them not “matching” anything in their wardrobe. Well, I’m here to tell you that when it comes to styling colorful items, your outfit doesn’t have to actually “match” your accessories, it just needs to “go” with them! In other words, your colorful shoes or accessories don’t have to be the exact same color as the print in your outfit, the colors and textures just have to complement each other.

For example, my spicy mustard sandals don’t match the exact shade of yellow in my romper, but they do complement the soft yellow, poppy red and green in the print.

Flutter Sleeve Romper

Hi everyone, for my second post today I’m styling this adorable Jodi Flutter Sleeve Romper from Urban Outfitters. It’s the perfect breezy romper to finish out the summer in and when early fall rolls around, you can easily throw on a denim jacket or moto jacket and some ankle boots and you’re good to go especially if you live down here in the south.  I love wearing lightweight dresses and rompers pairs with boots and moto jackets to get me through at award transitional phase between summer and fall.

For moto jackets, I highly recommend this vegan suede moto jacket, and for ankle boots, I’m obsessed with these->Jasper Western Cutout Booties

If you’re interested in my saddle bag, it actually won’t be out until August, but I linked to a super cute similar one here—>Suede Saddle Bag

For sizing reference, I am wearing the size medium in these photos. However, I probably should have just stuck with my normal size small. I only went with the medium because other reviewers said to size up, but I found that it ran true to size.

P.S. I’m obsessed with the Gold Espadrille Wedges that I’m wearing it today’s post. See how else I styled them here–> Shop The 48 Hour Sale at Macy’s and here–> Linen Shirt Dress For Summer
