White button down shirt + Denim

Happy Friday everyone. Friday is for casual style and for me, casuals in the most basic sense means denim. Today, I styled my denim pants with an oversized white button down shirt and white pumps which is a pairing you are going to see a lot this summer. You can wear this look to visit friends, to go shopping and even to hang out with hubby or friends. White is a color I used to shy away from previously most especially because I'm always around my kids and from experience, whites and kids don't go together nicely 😑 However, this summer, I'm embracing the white color trend because of the clean fresh look and how classy it looks plus my kids are grown now and they know Mom needs to still look glam while taking care of them 😆 The white sunnies added some whimsy to the look and the cuff bracelet which I purchased from Forever 21 several years ago added a little bit of color to the look too.  Are you up for styling whites with denim this summer? Have a blessed weekend.

Polka dots Blouse + Denim

Happy first day of summer; woot! woot!! 😆 So, now maybe our Minnesota weather would start to behave and give us not-too warm, sunny beautiful days. I decided to celebrate the first day of summer by wearing this polka dot bubble sleeve top from LOFT which has since sold out. The yellow or mustard color of the blouse was an instant shopper's favorite but most ladies including yours sincerely here hate the boxy shape of the blouse. It just adds about 5 pounds to your initial size 😒 It would have been more stylish if the blouse was fitted. After reading the reviews about the blouse, I went a size down like most shoppers suggested but it didn't help much. However, this design and fit miscalculation did not stop the blouse from selling out fast. You might be able to find one on e-bay or Poshmark or if you like the yellow polka dots print but in a different style you can check out my other option in the link below where I also linked similar style and accessories. To a great summer 😂

The vacation outfit to wear on a regular day

So summer is officially here although it is still cloudy and rainy in my city. This has not stopped me though from donning my summer essential pieces and accessories. Also, it has not stopped me from day dreaming about cool vacation spots and get aways. Then, I can also play dress up and wear vacation themed outfit on a regular day. This outfit here is one of such. The floral blouse paired with denim pants or shorts is the style you are sure to see in most vacation locations. I paired the outfit with summer essential accessories sans the sun glasses; straw hat, straw bag and a pair of bow mules. This is an outfit that you can wear on a regular summer day just to lighten your mood. You can wear it to just about any location you can wear casual style to like picnics and beach parties; even shopping just be prepared to give people a response when they ask you when you are going on vacation 😆

Summer is around the corner and if you are looking forward to enjoying some sun at the beach without plans of getting in the water, then take a look at the outfits sets featured here for some inspiration. The floral set featured above is the perfect beach outfit to wear when you just want to take a stroll on the beach or if you are a guest at a pool party just don't forget the sun lotion. The set below is a more modest option and a little dressy and you would definitely need the sunglasses too along with some more sun lotion; haha! 😁

How to style an old dress from your Closet

Hi everyone, Happy Monday 😆 I hope your weekend was beautiful. If you live in the United States, I hope you had a great Father's day celebration; mine was beautiful. We had a Church dinner with lots and lots of yummy food. It's been raining a lot in the twin cities though and I am wondering when sunny beautiful summer weather is eventually going to get here. I am looking forward to re-styling lots and lots of pieces from my closet. This post is on how to re-style old pieces from our closets. I know most of the time fashion blogs are all about buying, buying, buying...I have slowed down a bit on shopping and focus now on re-styling pieces from my closet.

Lilac button down shirt and white denim Pants

 

 

Happy Friday; I hope the week has been going great for you. It is with much excitement that I get to post another lilac color post on the blog today. I really love the lilac color trend more so, because it is in the same color family as my favorite color purple. For my Friday casual style, I wore this lilac color button down shirt or blouse that I have had for years; paired it with white denim pants, an oversized tote and camouflage (camo) prints sandals previously blogged about here. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a blessed and beautiful weekend.

Summer's popular dress style

Happy Thursday ladies; I hope you are having as much fun as I am at least when it comes to the weather. We have short summers here in Minnesota so the aim is always to enjoy the sun and everyday as much as we can. I guess every lady already knows and owns at least one of Summer's popular dresses because they need no introduction. Since the off-the-shoulder dress or cold shoulder dresses started trending three or two summers ago, they have not left the fashion scene and that makes me think they are going to be around much longer. I purchased this particular dress from Loft last summer and it was the vibrant colors of the florals that drew me in. I also got a pair of culottes in the same print. I styled the dress with a straw bag which really is the number one summer bag, a pair of sunnies because we've got to protect those eyes and a pair of black mules and a straw hat which are all summer's essential accessories. What do you think of off-the-shoulder and cold shoulder dresses for summer, yay or nay?

Earrings sale at JCrew

Happy Wednesday ladies. This is a quick post to share information about the jewelry sale currently going on at Jcrew. This is not a sponsored post and I am not getting any reimbursements or profits from this post; as you know this blog is all about sharing all the latest trends and style at affordable prices and that is why "yours sincerely," Moi  😆 could not help sharing. There is 30% discount on pompom and tassel earrings which are great for summer and if you need help with styling any of these colorful earrings, just look at the outfit set above for some inspiration. Happy shopping and styling.

Shoe Lovin' - Ball heel Pumps

So, here is another post on Shoe lovin,' the trending shoe style or shoe heel of the season. These shoes vary in design and style; some are pumps while some are sandals, some are high heels while others are low heel. What they all have in common is the funny or odd shaped heel; kind of like sticking a ball at the bottom of the shoe heel. The design is very chic and edgy and can be dresses up or down. If you are interested in getting a pair, check out the shopping links below.

How to style an all white Outfit for spring and summer

Hi everyone, happy Monday 😆 This is just a quick post here on another monochrome style. Did you see the one I did on lilac here? Monochrome styling is a trend that would never go out of style or fashion. I am looking forward to styling more monochromatic styles this spring and summer. This all white outfit which is suitable for any casual event like bridal and baby showers, picnics and even a visit to the mall needed some pop of color which I infused by my mauve color bow mules and straw bag. To pile on more textures, I added a mini bouquet of pink flowers which has actually become an added accessory for me recently. I have started to include fresh flowers to my grocery list and just love having them around in the house every day as opposed to waiting to receive them on special days and dates. Haha! it is about time 😂 There is no need waiting for hubby to buy the flowers anymore, I just go and buy it when I need to and there is no need waiting for special occasions like showers and christenings anymore to wear white or waiting after labor day as some would say. Just wear whites whenever you need to and style them with colorful and fun accessories. Thank you so much for stopping by.
