Outfit of the Day (Old Navy)

This Summer I love white capri's! I'm seeing them everywhere and on everyone...and I have to say it makes me want to run out and buy some TODAY!

You may think that white makes you look bigger or white is just waiting for ketchup to spill, but it really makes any outfit more summer-y. Just pretend that's a word. Pair white pants with, well...anything! Use the usual "pants rules" when choosing a great pair. I personally love the skinny capri pants. Have fun with this look and carry a TIDE pen...just in case :)

Casual Cool

We all have those little black dresses in our closets that are just waiting to be worn! Try creating a casual look that you can wear on the weekends.

Start by coupling your dress with flats. I love a pair of black ballet flats! They will go with everything! Then, depending on the event that you're going to, add a cardigan or jean jacket for color and texture. Add a rocker girl flare with a studded bag and unique earrings.

Earth Tones

Earth tones consist of colors you would find in nature. Blues, browns, greens, whites, grays, and even metallics belong in this category. Everyone looks good in these colors! Pieces in earth tones make up basics in your closet because they will go with any color.

When shopping for basics in neutrals look for tanks, cardigans, and purses. You'll love that no matter what style the pieces are, they will create many outfits with the colorful items in your wardrobe.

Memorial Day Outfit

Happy Memorial Day everyone! Hopefully you'll be enjoying the great weather (in Indiana) this weekend by going to a cookout or having a picnic at the park! This weekend calls for a comfy beautiful dress!

On Memorial Day I usually try to wear red, white, or blue. You can thank my mom for always dressing me up in coordinating holiday colors when I was a child :) Pair your dress with metallic flip flops, fun jewelry and braided hair. Be sure to keep your make-up light. By adding thick eyeliner with a light pink lip you will look made up with out being too over the top.

Remember the true heroes this Monday, our courageous soldiers! They are the reason we are free to chose the way we dress, say what we want to say, and can be anything we want to be. America is truly the best place place on earth!

Sequins and Linen

I recently saw Rachel McAdams wearing a sequined top with linen pants to the Cannes Film Festival. I immediately tried to recreate this unique look!

The formality of the sequined top and the breeziness of the linen pants make a untypical yet appropriate look for a night out. I added patent leather wedges and a structured bag for a refined ensemble. You can also pair this outfit with nude color flats and a clutch for an everyday look.

Dress to Skirt

Do you have a dress that is strapless or low cut that you want to wear to work? The answer is turning that dress into a skirt with one simple addition!

A sweater in either a long or short sleeve can turn any dress into a skirt. I love this idea because it makes the most of the items in your closet.

Below I paired a low cut leopard dress with black peep toe heels and gold jewelry for a night time look. For work I paired the same dress with a red sweater in a lightweight material and nude shoes (so not to distract from the printed dress and colorful sweater). All items below are from Forever 21 and below $25.

More handbags for Summer!

I love mixing two beautiful genre's of clothing. Here I've paired a girlie 50's Chanel inspired bag with a 70's outfit featuring flare jeans, flowy printed top, and espadrilles.






Bucket bags have always been in fashion so investing in one is a great idea. Get a bag in a neutral so that it will follow your fashion for years to come!
