Hi everybody! Happy Thursday!

I love a good off the shoulder top to circulate some extra breeze, and we’ve been needing it lately in this heat wave we’ve been experiencing. It’s so strange to me to talk to my family and friends in New England who are solidly in fall while I’m walking around in 90 degree weather. I guess that’s Cali for you!

Even if you are in fall, its still not too cold to opt for a great off the shoulder piece. They are so easy to dress down (ehem see above), but this top also carried me through a dinner and out to drinks that same night. I swapped out the shorts for some jeans and voila! I was ready.

Hope you all have a great weekend ahead! I’m heading out of town to meet up some awesome friends – stay tuned here and on Instagram to find out where I’m headed! Thanks so much for stopping by!

The perfect flare jeans for fall

Hi everybody! Happy Monday!

If you’re looking to add a little flare to your wardrobe, then I found just the pair for you. No, really, hear me out. I remember when flare jeans first came back in style. First I scoffed and shook my head and then I looked on in amazement as they transformed from yikes-remember-seventh-grade to wow-those-are-amazing in my head. But I couldn’t convince myself to bite, and assumed there was nothing I could do to make flares work. Well, fast forward to a few weeks ago to find me perusing some online shopping (shocker), and I stumbled across this pair on sale. I thought about it, long and hard, and then hesitantly added them to my cart. I didn’t commit right away, but eventually convinced myself that if not in fall, when could one wear flare jeans? I also managed to convince myself that this was the fall for me.

Well, lo and behold, they happen to be my new most comfortable pair of jeans. They are super soft and stretchy, and somehow super flattering. These are not your mid-nineties flares.

Anyway, that’s probably enough of my raving. I just couldn’t keep them to myself. Let me know if you give them a try – I’d love to hear if you love them the same way I do.

One more quick note – the sweater I’m wearing is from SheIn. Their stuff is super trendy and affordable, but the ordering process can sometimes be tricky to navigate. Make sure to check my tips and tricks here for ordering from them successfully before taking the dive. Any questions be sure to let me know.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Wishing you all an amazing week!

Crop top and high waisted skirt

Hi everybody! Happy Thursday! Today I want to talk about the crop top. I know, I know, we’ve all seen a crop top before and thought, yikes. But I’m here to assure you that they are more versatile than you think, and can be done with the utmost of class.

I have two main tips for you for crop top success. Tip number one may not come as a surprise – pair crop tops with high-waisted skirts or pants. This keeps the proportions in check and your belly button covered. Both good things. Tip number two – you can layer a tank top underneath your crop top to make sure you don’t flash any skin. I love this strategies for keeping classy looser cut crop tops (see here for an example) that would fly away from my body or ride up when I raise my arms.

What are your strategies for incorporating crop tops into your wardrobe? Any good tips to share? Thanks so much for stopping by!
