Button-up shirt + Shorts

Button-up shirts are a huge trend this summer and color blocking is the most common styling option I have seen with this piece. If you look hard enough in your closet, I am sure you will find a couple of button-up shirts in there because it is a piece, we have all been wearing probably not to the extent we are wearing them this summer.

A look back at Summer's translucent accessories trend

Happy Friday and before I begin, I want to say a big "Thank-you" ft you for stopping by here. I do appreciate every one that stops by. I know most visitors to this blog do not leave comments but I look at my blog stats sometimes and am able to tell that people are stopping by so Thanks once again for your visit. I have decided to make Fridays a sort of flash back post to something related to fashion in the times past and that being said, I'm talking about translucent accessories today. It was a trend I admired a lot and I blogged about the bags here and here and here. Although I have been on a shopping freeze, I did make an exception and ordered a few translucent accessories and I have enjoyed styling them like in this post here. This look is what I wore a few weeks ago. I paired my striped off the shoulder blouse (similar to the one I blogged about here) with a pair of red shorts and completed the look with my translucent bag and heels.

What to do with old trendy pieces in your Closet

Hi Friends, happy Thursday 😀 I'm sharing an old look from my blog folder for this post on a throwback Thursday. (These pics were in my folder for about a year and were not blogged before now mostly because of the quality but I I tried to edit the pictures with the Snapseed App a bit and decided to blog them anyway). This pineapple prints skirt from Ann Taylor is an old piece from my closet and I have styled it several times on the blog before in this post here and here. It was so popular two summers ago because of the beautiful unusual pineapple print and there were about three pieces in the collection as it is usual with some of these trendy summer prints; there were dresses, skirts and shorts. For this look, I paired the skirt with a chambray shirt and block heel sandals and a "big-hair-don't-care" attitude 😁 I have worn this outfit a couple of times (since) after the day these pics were taken, mostly to church. And this brings me to the main idea behind this post; what do you do with very old trendy pieces in your closet?

The Grand Finale

This weekend was so much fun; my siblings came over to Minnesota from out of state for the Fourth of July Celebrations and it was nice seeing my nephews and nieces again. After a series of barbecues including one at the lake side and the fireworks finale last night, I am pretty much exhausted. No, I did not wear this short suit to church today; I changed into this outfit when I got back from church. I decided to pair this distressed graphic tee I purchased from Forever 21 a couple of summers ago with the red shorts and as always, the jacket and shorts are separates (from different stores) but I purchased a grey pant suit and a yellow short suit as a two piece recently it felt quite odd when I was making the purchase. I have always enjoyed putting together a suit by mixing and matching pieces from different stores. Check out my previous post here.

This BCBG Paris d'orsay pumps has been in my closet for a while and I just like the prints. They are currently on sale at DSW. Would you consider having a pant suit as part of your suit collection? They are very fun to wear especially in the summer time and they can be worn just about anywhere depending on the type of tank top or camisole worn underneath. I figured wearing this red suit was a nice way to end the great celebration of the Fourth of July weekend.
