Even though these photos were taken back at the beginning of the summer, this an outfit that can easily transition to fall by switching the shoes (I'd go with either a pair of heeled ankle boots or closed-toe flats) and throwing on a scarf &/or light sweater! Also, a red lip is another great addition to your fall outfits, as it provides a great pop of color against fall hats and scarves. 

Also, a shout-out to my handsome husband below! :) He's truly my best friend for life. Thanks for stopping by!

Blazers are one of my favorite items of clothing, and thankfully, because of their classic, timeless nature, they're easy to style year-round. For spring and summer, I often stick with sleeveless tops in a sheer or lightweight fabric - this obviously helps to keep you cool in warmer temperatures but also brings a feminine softness to the masculine structure of blazers. Boyfriend jeans also pair well with blazers, especially for spring and summer. Add some sandals, a bright bag, and a fresh lip color and you have an effortless, polished, chic look. 

style tip || When wearing a button-down top, button the top button for some added polish. 

beauty tip || Match your lip color to one of your outfit accessories (bag, shoes, jewelry, etc.) - this pulls your whole look together and makes the color "pop".

The color palette of this outfit reminds me of the 4th of July, which I can't believe isn't that far away! Happy first day of summer and thanks for stopping by!

Being from Oklahoma City, Thunder basketball is a big deal! People give me a hard time for being a Thunder fan because I'll cheer for the Lakers/Kobe Bryant whenever they play against them (I had to cheer for someone before OKC got an NBA team, right???). Any other time though, I'm Thunder all the way! Needless to say, Thunder blue & orange inspired this outfit! The skirt is one of my absolute favorites - I love the tribal pattern which is definitely on trend for this summer, as well as the bright royal blue color! You'll recognize the cuff & clutch from an earlier post this week. Having accessories that I could use repeatedly during the trip made for easier packing and outfit coordination!

Have a lovely Thursday! Feel free to share your feedback & follow this blog if you aren't already! Thanks for stopping by! :)

The "little red dress" -- arguably just as versatile as the "little black or white dress." I remember paying around $12 for this one at Forever 21 probably a year ago. I love the overall fit and where the neckline and hemline hit (both feminine and modest!). The accessories I incorporated into this look - specifically the white clutch and the blue cuff - will be making several appearances in upcoming posts. I never realized how versatile they were until I started planning outfits for the honeymoon!

{side note} I can't believe it's been almost two months since my last post - to say life has flown by since the wedding is an understatement! I'm looking forward to getting back into a blogging routine though! Stay tuned for new posts all week!

"Happy Monday" and thanks so much for stopping by!
