As we are nearing the end of August it makes me want to cram in all the summertime fun!
Don’t get me wrong I love Fall but there’s something so magical about summer.
I love the drives and walks around the lake, ice cream late at night with the kids, sitting outside reading a good book, patio appetizers at my fave restaurant and the list goes on!
When I put on this dress it just reminded me of summer! I love the colors and the way it swings!
I paired it with my wood platforms to keep with the Boho Vibe!
I hope you all are enjoying the last bits of summer, because although we have about a month left; time seems to be flying by.
It’s funny to think that not too long ago mom jeans were laughed at. “Mom jeans” use to be only a thing that someone that knows nothing about fashion would wear! Now not only are they ok to wear but they are also a fashion staple to have in your closet!
When I saw these shorts at Urban Outfitters I knew I had to have them! I also purchased this delicate pink lacey crop top to pair with it!
These shorts look great with heels and flats alike. They will also work during the cooler months layered with tights and boots!
My gosh it’s been forever since we spoke so I apologize! To give you an update; I had another baby so I’ve been insanely busy and tired 💤
However, now that we’ve settled into a sorta routine I will be blogging once a week! So be ready to hear more from me!
Now on to the fashion!
I can’t believe how quickly the 4th is coming up! It seems as if I was just getting done with Easter now it’s already the end of June!
I love Independence Day! It’s usually hot and it’s a great day to be outside and hang with family and friends. It’s always fun to dress in America’s colors while doing it! However, I’m a firm believer in making sure outfits for holidays aren’t super “cliche looking!” I believe it’s important to purchase pieces that can be worn more than once and easily incorporated into your everyday wardrobe. You can easily add accessories to make your outfit look more patriotic!
First, a classic look that’s always an option-shorts!
A pair of chic shorts in classic denim or white would be a perfect choice to celebrate the 4th of July! Shorts are great for wearing to picnics and other outdoor events!
Next, leggings! This athleisure fave is a no brainer if you want to be comfy and stylish at the same time! Make it work for the hot weather by switching out leggings for a pair of biker shorts instead! Pair with flats and a tunic top to give it a daytime look rather than looking like you’re about to hit the gym!
Thanksgiving as you well know is this Thursday! If you still find yourself unsure of what to wear I have a few ideas that will hopefully ease those worries. Now I know we are only going to be walking from the living room to The dining room to the basement and back again! However, it’s great to look good while doing it!
My go-to is a maxi dress! A maxi allows you to move around freely and not worry too much about being cold. If you’re in a super cold climate like me(Minnesota) you should still opt for tights; however the long length adds that extra layer of warmth! Photo Credit: J.Crew.comPhoto Credit: J. Crew.com
Another personal favorite is the versatile midi dress! It’s long enough to say “hey I’m fancy” yet at the same time is short enough to were you aren’t having to walk around holding your dress up!
Classic lace is always an option! A lace dress is perfect for being your dressy go-to! You know that you’ll instantly feel fancy when you slip on a lace dress!
A slip dress is a great versatile option and would be perfect with a sweater layered over it! Make sure the sweater is a bit slouchy so go up a size if needed!
Note: Technical Glitch! For whatever reason the link to the slip dress and sweater below are at the top of the post! Both from J. Crew!
I honestly can’t believe that The 4th of July is next week! June seems to be flying by! When putting together my Independence Day look; I like to keep it Chic and not too over the top. This way, the outfit can be worn beyond the Patriotic Holiday!
I have chosen a few chic pieces to mix and match for the 4th of July and Beyond!
