Feminine and Fun!

Look of the Day:

There is nothing wrong with looking girly and feminine. The key is to not over do it. if you are wearing a girly color, such as pink, I think it works well to add in a color to offset it. With this outfit I have chosen a pinkish red dress and matched it with gold and blue accessories. I think the combo works great for summer! This dress is adorable and conservative enough for the office, but pretty enough to wear to a nice lunch or even for an evening out.

Affordable and Trendy

Look of the Day!
As you probably already know, I am a huge fan of looks that work for both day and night. Because sometimes there just isn't enough time to change! I love this outfit for summer. It's perfect for a day out at the vineyards, out shopping, or enjoying a picnic. And it works for a casual evening out as well. Just be sure to bring a sweater or cardigan with you in case you get cold from the blasting AC. I am a fan of wedges in the summer because sometimes you are in grassy areas and heels just tend to sink. Wedges are great because they give the same sexy effect as heels, but are just easier to maneuver. I would also like to point out how adorable the Newport News handbag is. I think it looks like it would cost a bit more than it does. A great find!

A Perfect Day to be on the water!

Look of the Day!

A wonderful summer activity is spending the day sailing or boating. Dressing for such a day can get a little tricky. I always think it is smart to dress a bit warm and bring along a bathing suit or have it on underneath. The bathing suit I have chosen would work well because it doesn't have any frills that could make it feel funny when worn under clothes. It may be a hot day, but once you get moving, the wind can sometimes be a bit chilly! And of course you must bring a bag large enough to carry everything you usually have with you as well as a change of undies or your swim suit if you plan to change into it. Here is a great outfit that is practical for the occasion, but very stylish as well! Should you be docking anywhere or stepping into any restaurants, you are dressed for that occasion as well! Some must haves for your day: Sunblock, lip balm, hair brush or comb, and a hair tie. Enjoy!

Very Versatile

Look of the Day:

Here is a look that can be worn to work with no problem. But then it will also work nicely for an evening out as well. It's fun, but conservative and classic too. The colored shoes make this outfit perfect for an evening out, but they don't over power it making it be able to work in an office setting. I love the old fashioned, yet updated, feel of this outfit. I also think it appears to be high fashion, but these pieces are all very reasonably priced!

Pulling off Leggings

Look of the Day:
Not everyone can pull off the leggings trend. And many want to, but don't know how! Well there are so many cute tunics in most stores right now, and most of those tunics would pair well with leggings. It might just be a matter of taking some time and trying on a variety of different combos to see what will work for you. Here is a great combo I have thrown together for spring. And the tunic will last you through summer as well! With this outfit I went for the boho chic/ Mary-Kate Olsen look. If you want to try this outfit for summer, replace the boots for some cute flip flops!

Classic and Comfy

Look of the Day:
This outfit can go with many occasions. Work, dinner, weekend, etc. I think its great for summer because you can enjoy the warm weather in this cute lace cami, but keep warm when you decide to go inside and the AC is booming! Dressing in layers is very smart for summer because of the AC. You don't want to catch a summer cold! But you still want to break out those cute summer clothes. This outfit is also a great example of mixing your designer pieces with non-designer pieces. And how it all comes together in creating a fab look!
