Cropped

No matter how old you are, I believe there are ways to participate in the trends of the season (with a little tweaking here and there) to make them age appropriate. Take the cropped trend for example. I have been wanting to give this style a try for quite a while, but I’m obviously not going to be running around town showing off my stomach.  So I was pleasantly surprised to find this top that is just long to keep me covered, but just short enough to fall into the cropped category.  It also doesn’t hurt that it’s off-the-shoulder (which is my absolute favorite trend this season)!

I’d love to know, do you guys like to try out modified versions of different trends?

P.S. You’ll have to excuse my wild hair in this post-it was super windy when I took these photos!

Stripes

I have a hard time saying no to anything striped.  Particularly striped dresses this time of year.  So when I spotted this cute little number at Nordstrom, I knew it would not only be the perfect thing to wear on the 4th, but that it would also be a comfy basic to keep on rotation in my closet this summer.  And at only $38, who could resist?

Repeat

I originally purchased this Free People dress last summer in pink and wore it for my birthday celebration in Sonoma.  And I loved it so much and got so much wear out of it, that when they brought it back this season, I bought it in this pretty minty/sage color.  And this summer, it is once again one of my favorite things in my closet. It’s also on sale right now, and comes in several other colors.  So if you have been thinking about getting this dress, I would highly recommend it! You’ll get so much wear out of it, I promise it will be worth every penny! PLUS it has pockets this year too!

Although be warned.  It seems to be running a little shorter this year than last year, so I would recommend sizing up for length.

Fringe

First of all, I LOVE the splatter print of this dress.  There is just something so nostalgic about it to me.  I think it’s because it reminds me of a denim jacket I had when I was a kid with neon splatter paint all over it!

And second, can we talk about how amazing this necklace is?  One of my best friends gifted it to me and I am OBSESSED!  Plus, it’s less than $20.  Talk about the perfect statement piece to add to your wardrobe this summer!

Gingham

I love this little gingham top.  It’s such an easy, breezy piece to just throw on and go. And guess what?  It would be perfect to wear on the 4th of July!  It also comes in a few other colors and prints and is less than $15.  Definitely a great piece to add to your closet this summer!

Red, White, and Blue

So, I’m kind of sort of obsessed with this dress.  And you know why?  Because it is one of the most versatile pieces in my closet.  I love that I can totally dress it up (like in today’s post), or that I could wear with it with a pair of Chuck Taylors, or some cute wedges and a floppy hat.  Pieces like this, my friends, are the best and most cost-effective things you can add to your wardrobe.  Plus, wouldn’t this dress be super cute dressed down for the 4th of July?

Neck Candy

Another day, another off-the-shoulder number.  I just can’t seem to help myself when it comes to this trend!  Plus, it’s the perfect neckline to show off my pretty new necklace from French Kande.  Seriously, their jewelry is my FAVORITE.  If you haven’t checked them out yet, trust me, you NEED to!  Oh, and I should mention that my dress is less than $50 too!!

Black and White

I don’t typically tend to gravitate towards a lot of black and white combos during the summer months.  But when I saw this top, I absolutely fell in love with it.  It is so fun and totally different from anything that I have in my closet.  And that is exactly why I love shopping with ChicWish.  They have so many feminine and unique pieces for really great prices.  So if you aren’t familiar with them, then I would definitely recommend checking them out!

Basic

I’m always on the hunt for good basic tanks during the summer months.  But they are surprisingly hard to find.  I mean really, is it too much to ask for a solid tank that can be dressed up or dressed down, worn with shorts, skirts, and denim, doesn’t shrink when you wash it, and at a great price point?  Apparently so! So when I stumbled on this cute Free People tank, I knew I had to give it a try.  And I’m glad I did, because I’m loving it.  Plus it’s only $20 and comes in a ton of colors.  So if you are like me and looking for a go-to tank, I would highly recommend this one!
