Fashion Friday: Tassels & Off the Shoulder Top

This is one of my favorite outfits I've put together in a while! This is a great, casual outfit that is perfect for pretty much any summer occasion. I am absolutely loving the "off-the-shoulder trend" and was so excited when I found this top! Tassels are also a huge trend that I'm loving right now! I chose to wear wedges but this outfit can be dressed down even more with sandals.

Fashion Friday: 4th of July Ideas

I absolutely LOVE blue striped things! I mean LOVE! I love how classy and put together blue and white look. I also love adding a pop of red to a blue and white outfit! SO, fourth of July is a fun occasion for me! This year I've been really into stripes and gingham. The outfit I'm wearing incorporates stripes but I also linked a bunch of other fun gingham and red, white, and blue items below. I actually love everything I linked and would wear any of these items all summer long and not just on the 4th!

Fashion Friday: Gray Surplice Tank & Linen Skirt

I have pretty much been living in this skirt this summer. It's really comfortable, it can be dressed up or dressed down, and it goes with everything! My color is on clearance (but is almost sold out) but there's several other colors still available! I'm also obsessed with the Baublebar necklace I recently purchased. I've gotten really into minimalist jewelry lately and I love how simple this necklace is and the fact that it goes with everything! I've never bought anything from Baublebar before but I was very impressed with the quality of their jewelry at affordable prices and plan to order from them again in the future!

Fashion Friday: Black Jumpsuit

My new favorite purchase is the black jumpsuit pictured below. It's my first ever jumpsuit purchase and I LOVE it. For a long time I debated whether or not I could pull off a jumpsuit and I finally decided to go for it and I could not be happier! This jumpsuit feels like you're wearing pajamas but it looks very classy! It can be dressed up or dressed down and it is made out of a very cool, thin material which makes it great for warmer weather! Jumpsuits are a huge trend right now and I think they're quickly becoming the new LBD!

This jumpsuit is almost sold out but there's a few sizes left and it's an additional 40% off clearance!! I've also linked several other black jumpsuit options below.

Fashion Friday: Striped Swing Dress

Today I'm sharing one of my favorite and most comfortable dresses with you. The best part is that it's on sale for $15!! I absolutely love how loose fitting this swing dress is and I love the high neckline. It's also very forgiving if you're worried about covering anything in your mid-section! :) This dress comes in several different colors and patterns. I styled my dress with a floral clutch (because I love mixing patterns and LOVE floral and stripes together) and brown leather accents in my bracelet and shoes (because I also love brown and black together!). I also just got the tassel bracelet I'm wearing in this pictures and highly recommend it! It's super fun and summer, tassels are currently a huge trend, and it's only $7!!
