Madden Girl – All Dolled Up

Color tends to be a pretty consistent trend in my summer wardrobe. And this fun, striped skirt from JCrew is no exception. And while I initially gravitated towards styling it back to heels and vibrant oranges, I am also looking forward to trying it with shades purples, or a favorite chambray shirt and pair of flats. Don’t you just love pieces that provide so much versatility in your wardrobe? I know I sure do!

If you are looking for a way to give back and add some beautiful new jewelry to your wardrobe this summer, then please be sure and stop by Night Light International. It is an incredible organization that rescues women who have fallen victim to human trafficking and prostitution in Thailand and gives them the skills to sustain a life on their own-far from the bonds of slavery.

Happy Tuesday!

There is almost nothing I love more than attending the first official BBQ of spring. But truth be told, I don’t find them to be the easiest of occasions to dress for. Probably because as much as I love high heels and jewelry, they unfortunately aren’t the best accessory choices for a back yard get together. But through a little trial and error, I think I have come up with a foolproof outfit combo that not only lets me be comfy and appropriate for such occasions, but even a little stylish too…

You have probably noticed things are looking a little different on the blog today-and hopefully in a good way! I have been wanting to test a little larger photo size and a more simplified layout for a while now. And what can I say? I guess the new season finally inspired me to change things up a bit. Guess it’s my blogging version of spring cleaning. Anyway, would LOVE to hear your feedback!

Thank you so much for reading!
