Vacation Style ~ OTS Top and Cutoffs

Fall is just around the corner.  The kids are heading back to school, the September fall fashion magazines are arriving daily and our latest shipments at Entourage have been full of flannel, suede and cozy knits but summer is still here ~ at least for a few more weeks.  There are still vacations to be had and beaches to visit before the temps turn cold so... this week on the blog I'm sharing the last two looks from our recent beach vacation before I start the fall transition outfits! (Fall transition can be tricky in Georgia since it stays freaking hot here until about October!! More on that later.)

I was a little late to the OTS (off the shoulder) trend party.  It seemed like every blogger out there was daily wearing OTS tops or dresses but not this girl until this pretty pink top hit my styling room!  The color of the top is the same as my favorite lippie of the summer so match made in heaven, right?  The top looks great with distressed white jeans, a flowy summer skirt or cutoffs, like I'm wearing here.

Vacation Style ~ Floral Romper

It's August, y'all!  This summer has flown by!!  It's still technically summer, even though with the start of August comes the fall fashion rush, so I'll be posting summer looks here as well as some pre-fall outfits until summer is really over!  I wear a lot more florals in the spring and summer than I do in the fall and winter and my vacation style this year was very floral heavy.  The bold pattern and colors of this romper got me right away!  Plus The Hubs loves this coral color on me so I knew it was a vacation/summer must have!

This Thursday I head to Charleston for The Blog Societies annual conference.  It's my first time going and I'm excited, nervous and scrambling on what to bring and wear.  The new business cards didn't happen (I have business cards, I just wanted to freshen them up), I'm currently working on my media kit and I have yet to pack or even decide what to wear.  A few super cute outfits came in at work this past week, one is a floral jumpsuit and another is floral dress, both of which I'm obsessed with so they will most likely be making the cut but I need at least three more outfits.  Here are a few options I'm considering...

1 ~ White Off the Shoulder Dress

2 ~ White Lace Romper

3 ~ Green Romper

4 ~ White Layered Dress

5 ~ Orange Dress

6 ~ Black Maxi Dress

7 ~ Black Lace Dress

Which are your favorites?  Tweet me, snap me, Insta me or comment below!  I've got to pack by Wednesday night!!

What Are You Wearing For the Fourth?

June is almost over, y'all!  Can you believe it?!  With the end of June comes that start of July (duh, right?) and with the start of July comes one of my favorite holiday's ~ Independence Day!  What's not to love about the Fourth of July?!  A day off of work that's full of family, friends, food, fireworks, fashion and celebrating our freedom!  Independence Day is not only one of my favorite holidays to celebrate but it's also one of my favorite days to get dressed in a fun, festive outfit.  My whole family comes to town and our day usually involves a lot of outdoor time, and in Georgia it's HOT in July, so my Fourth style usually involves shorts and a cute top or a breezy dress.  I've not decided yet what this years' outfit will be but here are a few ideas to give me ~ and you ~ some Independence Day outfit inspiration!

Camo ~ Another Neutral ~ Another Staple

I'm as girly of a girl as you can get but I love camo!  When camo became a hot trend a few years ago I jumped on it hard ~ from tops to jeans and joggers ~ my camo collection is pretty extensive!  I'm glad it's a trend that stuck around.  I'm also glad that camo, like leopard, is considered a neutral and pairs well with most colors, especially brights.  Everyone knows that a denim vest is a closet staple (and if this fact is new to you stop what you are doing, click on the link and get one now!) but I think a camo vest should be as well.  It's a great, versatile completer piece that can be worn year round!

Excuse the face.  I was focusing hard on crossing the street, coffee in hand! ha!

 ~ What I'm Wearing ~

Orange/Coral Maxi: Old Navy (last year) | Current season here (I love the hem!!)

Camo Vest: Scored at a "bloggers' closet" sale | Identical

Tan Leather Tote: Another closet staple and I've had this one for years! | LOVE this one and the price is amazing!

Wedges: I've had these for years too! | This fab pair is at the TOP of my summer wish list and they just went on sale!

Fringe Necklace: Stella & Dot

Sunnies: Quay Australia

Sorry that this post is a day late!  My weekend was INSANE (all good, lot's of family time, but so very busy celebrating my son's birthday and father's day) and every Monday after work I meet my blogger friend, Hannah, to shoot pics for the coming week, so I'm a bit behind!  Better late than never, right?

Color Loving Girl!

I'm all about an all black, white or neutral outfit but I'm a color loving girl at heart and for me the more color the better!  So when this dress hit my styling room a few months back I knew it had to be part of my personal wardrobe.  It has all of my favorite colors in a universally flattering A-line shape AND it has pockets!  I will definitely be styling this bold number several ways this season and I think it will transition well into fall with some knee-hi boots and a leather or denim jacket!

~ What I'm Wearing ~

"Kaleidoscope" Dress: Entourage Clothing (Sold Out | Similar here, here, here and here)

Lippie: NYX Liquid Suede in "Pink Lust"

Hot Pink Crossbody Bag: Steve Madden (Old | Obsessed with this one!)

White Faux Leather Vest: Forever 21 (Last Year | Similar)

Multi Colored Beaded Necklace: Stella & Dot

White Leather Wrap Bracelet: Stella & Dot

Pink Wedge Sandals: Jessica Simpson (Old | Similar)

Color makes me happy, can you tell? ;-)

Saying Goodbye to Summer

This is it ~ today's the last official day of summer and tomorrow, at 4:21am, will begin my favorite season of the year ~ fall!!  Now if the weather here in Georgia would magically cooperate...

What better outfit to say "goodbye" to summer in than my favorite trend of the season, a jumpsuit, in my favorite colors of the season, turquoise, white and purple.  And I'm happy to report that the jumpsuit trend isn't going anywhere as the temps get cooler.  I've got a few perfect-for-fall jumpsuits on my radar like this one, that's a great option for date night or an evening on the town, and this one (which I just ordered), that would be perfect for a business/casual office or brunch with friends.

~ What I'm Wearing ~

Jumpsuit: Forever 21 | It's on sale for under $20!!
Lace-up Sandals: Target (sold out) | Almost identical pair here
Straw Bag: Old | Similar
Earrings: Stella & Dot (can be worn three ways!)
Necklace: Stella & Dot (I'm wearing the top piece)

What trend did you wear this summer that you'll be carrying on into the coming season?

I'll be back later this week with some early fall fashion!

Two for One

It's still officially summer for a few more days and it's still summer on the blog with two mostly white outfits from The Loft Boutique.  Yep, it's a two for one today!  Because both of these outfits are from early in the summer most of what I'm wearing is sold out ~ but ~ I've found similar, and in a few cases identical, pieces for your shopping pleasure! ;-)

Orange Scarf: Similar | White Pants: Identical | Tote: Obsessed with this one from Vera Bradley! | White Tunic: Similar | Wedges: Similar

White Vest: Identical | Floral Top: This one would transition into fall beautifully | Tote: Almost Identical | White Pants: Identical | Wedges: Similar | Betsy Pittard Necklace: In a different color combo

I'm almost ready to say goodbye to summer and hello to fall ~ how about you?!
