Here There & Everywhere

I want it all when it comes to an outfit. Pretty, stylish, comfortable and versitile are essential elements. In the Summer function is high up on the priority list for keeping cool. Throw chasing a toddler around and easy of movement along with coverage climb up to the top too. Temperatures and motherhood doesn't mean you compromise style. I look for pieces made of light fabric, flow designs and fun details.

This top is one of my most favorite purchases for it's designer looking details and bargain price! Now, a mini skirt is rarely something I ever shop for but in a circle pattern and elastic waist I can adjust the waist position and actually feel more covered than in a pair of shorts. Its actually very flattering as it accentuates the waist and is elongating on the legs.

I adore the pattern on this skirt in a neutral palette because it allows for a ton of color pairing options in a top. Theres a panel of smocked elastic on the back waistband that in addition to the beaded sash adds shape and a fun feminine detail.

My sandals are a most worn pair of the season. They're super comfortable and very on trend. I tend to avoid shoes that add attention to my ankles since they're far from slender but the wrap style somewhat camouflages. To be honest I'm tired of letting my insecurities hold me back from wearing things I like.

Opt for a pair of wedges for a dressier look.

This is a outfit that can be worn here there and everywhere.

Tropical Twirl

Gals, this skirt may just be the prettiest piece in my wardrobe! The print, colors and feminine details in the skirt are just, well, pretty! If I ever got ahold of a bolt of fabric in this print you'd see it adorning some drapes, bedding or pillows.

I love how soft the colors are without being too muted and the purple birds throughout spark a ton of joy. My Mamma loves birds and the older I get I find myself incorporating their beauty in our home.

In a light weight cotton poplin fabric with delicate tiered ruffles, this skirt is comfortable, cool and moves so beautifully when you walk (or twirl). The length is perfect for heels or flats allowing you to style dressy or casual. I paired with a ruffled crisp white shirt and slides but with a cotton tank and sandal it would be the prettiest casual outfit.

This skirt is a quintessential example for me of how a garment is an outward reflection of who you are. This skirt conveys my style with colors, print and design that makes me feel pretty and smile a little bigger when I wear it.

I encourage you to wear pieces that portray the prettiness you love.

Friday Favorites: Flutter Sleeve Tops

TGIF! I'm also grateful for all the sunshine we've had this week. It may not have been as warm as the prior week but those rays sure do bring a lot of happy to our days.

I've found that a fun top is a wardrobe essential. What I mean by fun top is that it has some unique detail that makes a statement that will add sass to any pairing whether it's just a pair of jeans or a silk skirt. Because who wants to be basic anyway??

I love a flutter sleeve for several reasons. They add interest by your face drawing the eye closer to your smile (your prettiest assist). volume that balances the lower body (key for hourglass and pear shapes), coverage on your arms without restricting, and elements of whimsey & femininity!

I added this top to my closet last year and was tickled to find it again this year. I receive so many complements every time I wear it that I'm excited to share it with you gals.

Tip: A pretty top can be a game changer to your outfits while you're at home. Top off a comfortable bottom such as shorts, jeans or even joggers with a blouse that makes you smile and I promise you'll feel revitalized and more confident throughout the day.
