I mentioned in a post last week how white pants are the only pants I wear in summer. To prove a point (and show that you can do it too) I’m sharing 3 ways to wear white pants this summer. These may not be my go to outfits for summer during the day but white pants are absolutely my go to for a night out on the town. Unfortunately there’s not going to be too much “going out” this summer. A local pub reported over 30 Covid cases and ultimately closed their doors for the time being. I’m not usually a bar only type girl anyways so this isn’t too…

How to Wear a Plain White Tee in Summer
One of my favorite reasons to buy matching sets is so I can mix and match with my entire wardrobe. When I initially bought this Lilly Pulitzer set for spring I had only ever tried on the shorts. Specifically, I had tried on the shorts with a plain white tee. It was really from that moment that I knew I wanted this set so I could switch up outfits. However, I found the shorts at TJ Maxx and they had no matching top. Priced at $30 when I knew it was from a set made me hang up those shorts like they were infected with Covid-19. But you all know…

Jean Jacket and a White Dress in Summer
I’ll be honest, when I think summer I don’t think jacket, sweater, or long sleeves. Which is funny because summer is when I use those things the most inside. I’ll bring a jacket or sweater with my virtually to every restaurant I go out to in the summer. It doesn’t matter that it’s 90+ degrees outside, when I’m inside I’m almost always cold. Which is why I think the perfect outfit combination for summer is a jean jacket and a white dress. You’ve heard of the classic LBD? A white dress is its equivalent in the summertime.

How to Wear a Lilly Pulitzer Dusk Top
In my recent post about another Lilly Pulitzer outfit I mentioned how difficult it can be to find things to wear your Lilly with. If you have a pair of printed shorts, or a bright printed top, it can be hard to put together a complete outfit. You run the danger of looking too fun if you mix Lilly patterns (I’m talking looking like a clown). This was a problem I had not only with shorts, but also a lot of tops. In particular, the Lilly Pulitzer dusk top. I love that they are a light silk, but all my dusk tops are printed, which means I can’t wear them…

What to Wear with Keds Sneakers
For the longest time, Converse were my go to sneaker. I literally wear the 4 or 5 pairs of Converse I wore into the ground. They had holes, they were dirty, and they were 7 years old. Needless to say, when I graduated college I didn’t bother bringing them home with me. They met their new best friend, the trashcan. As sad as it was back then, it lead to my new best friend, Keds sneakers. Now this isn’t to say I won’t ever wear Converse every again (I’m actually on the hunt for a pair). I’ve just only bought Keds and Nikes since graduating. While I love my Nikes…

What Not to Wear Style Lesson Mixing Patterns
I’ve been watching a lot of What Not to Wear reruns lately and they honestly make me so happy. Stacy and Clinton just get me on so many levels. The outfits they put together are to die for and I would love to spend $5,000 on clothes. Watching the show has gotten me in a much more creative mood with my clothes. Like wearing more bright colors, adding statement jewelry, and mixing patterns. Honestly, I have Stacy and Clinton to thank for my style probably more than anyone. Even back in high school when I felt like the only one wearing skirts and big necklaces I know I had Stacy…

Wearing a Cover Up as a Dress
I enjoy having a versatile closet. When I can use one item for multiple outfits I consider it a win. I also love having a small petite frame that allows me to shop in the kids section for a fraction of the cost. The more money I can save and ways I can wear clothes the better in my opinion. I’ve shared in the past that I use cover ups as dresses and vice versa. So today I wanted to share another cover up that I recently purchased from TJ Maxx before they closed.

How to Style a Tunic Dress in Spring
Last summer I shared one of my favorite summer dresses from Sail to Sable. Today I’m re-sharing that dress and another tunic dress from Sail to Sable. The start of spring is a great time to look for and purchase these tunic dresses at places like TJ Maxx. Why? Because you can find them at a great discount ($30 instead of $100) and because they’re perfect for this time of year. It’s also a great staple to have in spring and also throughout summer.

What to Wear to an Art Show
Well y’all, I had this post queued before all these “recent events”. Because of this the location I was going to shoot this outfit at has closed. Honestly, most things have closed. I debated even posting this, who would be going to an art show right now anyways? But I decided to still do it, even if these outfit pictures were taken in my house. I even debated staging an “art show” at my house. In an attempt to be honest and real with you all though I didn’t do that either. I won’t deny what is happening all around me, but I certainly do not want to post about…

How to Wear Green to Work this St. Patrick’s Day
Man, St. Patrick’s day on a weekday is honestly just the worst. Am I right? No green beer all day, no crazy green attire. St. Patrick’s day is honestly pretty blue when it’s on a week day. But I’m really trying to not get too down about it. I’ll still drink my green beer after work and I’ll be darned if I don’t wear green to work tomorrow. It may not be quite as green as last years outfit ideas but hey, it’ll still keep me from getting pinched.
