A Little Twist

This outfit came together for an impromptu Sunday brunch.  Lightweight jersey dresses are perfect for the sweltering heat of summer in Georgia.  I thought this one was interesting because it creates the silhouette of a wrap dress with a cute twist at the waist.  I also loved the balance it created with just a little thigh action and more coverage on one side and the back.  I'm all about proportions and balance, and this dress handles both of those effortlessly.  To add a little pop, I accessorized with a statement necklace and sandals, both with gold accents.  All together it created a cute but casual look for a Sunday Funday.  Get the details below! Happy Tuesday loves!

Sleeveless Trench

The sleeveless trench.  I've been waiting to get my hands on one of these for a while.  Then, once I got it, it's been sitting in my closet for about 3 months waiting to make it's debut. FINALLY, I took it out for a spin.  I knew the trench would be a statement in and of itself, so I decided to pair it with a few of my favorite summer staples:  skinny jeans and a white tank.  I love how these items came together.  The breezy, flowy movement of the trench makes it perfect for summer and is really forgiving for those of us who haven't quite perfected that summer body yet (I tried to break up with that dang bra strap roll months ago, but it's the clingy type). I completed my look with some cute sandals I picked up last year from Nastygal. Love the pop of white on the ankle. I haven't purchased many items from them but have found that they have some super cute shoes!

I'm really looking forward to all the other pairings I can create with this trench; It'd be perfect with some distressed shorts or pencil skirts or...  anyway, I digress.  Enjoy loves and Happy Monday! Check out the deets below.

Grown-Up Overalls

So, when I traditionally think of overalls, the word "chic" never came to mind.  Childhood memories of denim and corduroy one piece disasters I once coveted would come to mind.  Or even the over-sized contraptions of the 90s (with only one strap buckled of course, to keep in line with the 90s one-side disheveled styling).  Neither of these images fit into the more contemporary styling I've grown into as a young lady.  Then these wonders came along.  Although still very true to the overall style, the color, cut, and details added a more modern grown up feel.  With this, I felt like I could be true to my current style while still tapping into the more playful feel of overalls.  I added classic single strap sandals and a red lip to complete my modern day styling of these classics.  Overall (pun intended), I was pleased with how everything came together and for a moment, was taken back to those carefree childhood days... until an image of jean "short-alls" (the short length version of overalls) flashed and then I was back.  Hope this provides a little inspiration for one piece styling! Get into the deets below!
