a place in the sun

Nothing screams summer quite like dancing in the grass barefoot and watching the sunrise and sunset. This outfit is my perfect summer night outfit, whether it's eating dinner with significant others, friends, going to a concert, time with family, on vacation, or just hanging out around a camp fire. This look accommodates all things related to summer. It is simple, light weight, and can easily be dressed up or dressed down, flats for an easy going night with friends and wedges for dressing up or a night on the town.

Sparks Fly

The Fourth of July is just days away and over the years has become on of my favorite Holiday's to dress for. Its all stars, stripes, red, white, and blue which also makes it one of the most colorful days in clothing history for myself. Fourth of July is the special time of year in which we set off firework, cook out, spend time with family and friends, and most importantly celebrate our independence! For my Fourth of July look I complied a look that transitions from day to evening. The button down can be removed to expose the red tank and untuck it to wear during the day with the white shorts. Then depending on how the weather is during your Fourth, you can add the stripped button down to the red tank to make for a warmer and classic Fourth of July evening. If your fourth is a little more on the glamorous side of things, you can always add a classic nude heel to elevate your look. The look is a classic fourth of July style that can be mixed and matched to fit your style as well as your plans!

unwritten

New Year's Eve is tomorrow night meaning that the upcoming year 2015 allows for new opportunities and adventures. This also means one of my favorite things, new trends, styles, and color pallets. So for tomorrow night I would like to ring in the New Year in one of my favorite styles that I don't believe I will be saying goodbye to in 2015. I love wearing fur vests with leather it makes me feel like a rock star, which is how everyone should feel when welcoming a new year! I chose to pair an olive green top with a fuzzy sweater for warmth and sticking with my Christmas Eve trend of wearing leather jeans wearing booties instead of heels allows comfort in standing or dance away 2014! Adding my favorite sparkled bracelet to give a hint of new year excitement and a bold lip to tie my look together to wave goodbye to 2014 and say hello to 2015. Will you be greeting the New Year in style?

weekend warriors

After Thanksgiving feasts, I feel incredibly full meaning no skinny jeans or fitted tops. This look is inspired by my love for comfort and is actually perfect when you are still wanting to look chic and fun while Black Friday shopping, running errands, or just hanging out on the weekends! It is a beautiful weekend here in the Midwest meaning that wearing a sweater without a coat or even just a long sleeve shirt is perfectly comfortable! This sweater from Express is fairly light weight while still giving just enough warmth for the wild winds we are experiencing and it is also flowy enough you don't have to worry about having a food baby while eating Thanksgiving leftovers! These citizens of humanity jeans are perfect for errand running several pockets so you don't have to worry about a huge tote bag, and stretchy enough they aren't cutting into you like skinny jeans! I would also pair this look with some booties if I were looking to dress it up, but ultimately I love wearing fashion sneakers for extreme comfort. This outfit is the perfect amount of easy, comfort, and fun for this gorgeous holiday weekend. Weekend warriors and Black Friday shoppers how are you planning on styling yourself for function and comfort?
