Bring On The Tie-Dye

Does anyone else remember making tie-dye shirts in elementary school or at summer camps? Kids were asked to bring in a white t-shirt, which would be tied in knots all over with rubber bands and dipped into vibrant paint colors. The shirt was hung to dry and within a day you were rocking a personalized rainbow colored top and feeling super cool while doing it. In case you haven’t noticed, tie-dye has been back in full force lately, although this time it is usually store bought. Every time I turn my head in a store, I feel like I am seeing another product that is rocking the tie-dye colors. I wasn’t sure how I felt about this trend making a comeback, but I think it may be here to stay for awhile.. If I am being honest guys- I am kinda digging it. I don’t know if the color combo reminds me of a younger time in my life or is just cheerful in general, but I think the patterns are so much fun! You also don’t have to stick with just shirts anymore- it is being thrown onto purses, shoes, pants and so much more. I have put together a list of some of my favorite pieces that I have found lately. I’m also not hating the idea of throwing an old school tie-dye party for my little ones so they can join in on the fun!

 

 

Pajama Shorts

I know cooler months are coming up, but I don’t like to be hot when I sleep. These pajama shorts are lightweight, high-waisted and come in the prettiest soft pink tie-dye color. They are a best seller and are only $16 at Old Navy!

Kate Spade Pouch

Kate Spade always does a great job staying on top of the latest trends. This small pouch would be perfect to take to the pool or beach and hold all of your essentials. I could also see grabbing it to run some errands, instead of lugging around a large purse. It is also under $60 which is a steal for a designer brand!

Duffle Bag

This duffle bag would make a great weekend getaway bag or carryon when you travel. It has an adjustable shoulder strap or double top handles that make carrying it comfortable depending on your preference.

Classic Slip-On Vans

These classic vans shoes might be one of my all time favorite tie-dye finds. I have always loved the classic vans shoes because they are so comfortable. They can be thrown on while you are running around on your feet all day and look great with jeans, leggings, or a casual dress. I love the colors they used for this fun print and think it would add some extra fun flare to any outfit.

Steve Madden Slip-On Sneakers

I’m also a fan of Steve Madden shoes and these tie-dyed sneakers are no exception. The colors remind me of a beautiful cloudy day and the shoes are currently 50% off! They have also gotten positive feedback and 5 star reviews from happy customers!

Victoria’s Secret Full-Zip Sweatshirt

I love the soft colors used in this Victoria’s Secret sweatshirt. I am always a fan of a full zip outerwear piece because it can be easily removed if you end up not wanting to wear it. This cute top has pockets in the front and a hood that is made of a soft fleece fabric. I think it would be perfect to lounge around the house in or throw on when the weather starts cooling off.

Short Sleeve Fit T-Shirt

Target always has the cutest t-shirts at affordable prices. This short sleeved tie-dye shirt is only $8!It is made of 100% cotton so will be soft and has a cute crew neckline that looks great with anything!

Sundown Sweatshirt

This sweatshirt from Athleta is another one of my favorite finds. The material is lightweight and breathable and would be perfect if you were exercising outside in the cooler mornings or going to and from a gym. It also comes in two different bright tie-dye colors that could be paired with a ton of different outfits!

Fall Trends For 2020

Fall is already right around the corner, ladies! I feel like Summer went by way too quickly, even in spite of all the big changes that are happening right now. Even though I am a flip flop, tank top wearing kinda girl, I’m always excited to see what trends are coming out each season and all of the new products that are being stocked on shelves. There are always a few things that are given major hype each season by celebrities and designers that leave me scratching my head. I don’t care how trendy something is, I will not wear it just to try to be current. I believe in staying true to myself and feeling comfortable with whatever I am wearing. However, I love seeing some of the new makeup trends, popular colors and handbags that get released every Fall. It is a perfect time of the year to treat yourself to something new that you can rock for the next few months! I listed some of my favorite trends that are making a splash this month!

 

Blazers

Blazers were once styled mainly for women to wear at work. However, lately you can find them being worn dressed down with jean shorts and a graphic tee while running errands! They are a fun way to add some style to a comfortable look, while staying warm!

Drapey Blazer

Classic Blazer

Chain Accent Bags

Handbags with chains are more popular than ever! Some bags have chain links added as decor, while others are using chains as straps. I love this small Kate Spade chain bag that would be perfect for a date night!

Marigold

Every season seems to always have one color that you start to see everywhere. This season marigold is making a big splash on all of the shelves. The dark yellow color is a perfect transition color from Summer to Fall. It is still cheerful and adds a pop of color to your outfit, while transitioning to a darker tone while the days are starting to cool off. I am loving these cute and affordable tops from the Loft and Target.

Short Sleeve Eyelet Top

Crew Tee

Colored Eyeliner and Mascara

I love seeing the bright colors that people are playing with on their eyes! Lots of ladies are tossing their brown and black eyeliners and mascaras for something that adds a little pop of color. I know it is not traditional and may seem strange at first, but give it a try on a night out. This Urban Decay eyeliner is one of my favorites and comes in 39 colors! I am excited to try one of the colored mascaras that are out and thought this Colour Pop one looked like a lot of fun!

Urban Decay Glide Pencil

Colour Pop Mascara

DIY Nail Art

I think more people have been getting into the DIY nail trend, especially since the start of Covid. Now that you have gotten more practice doing it yourself at home, you can add some fun nail art to your mani. Target has a ton of different stickers for nails that are easy to apply. These white starts would look really pretty against a dark color for Fall!

White Stars Nail Art

Mary Janes

It’s time for a throwback ladies- who else remembers wearing Mary Janes as a little girl? These cute shoes are making a major comeback for women right now and come in a ton of different variations. I love these black platform ones for a night out or the simple flats during a work day!

Platform Mary Janes

Mary Jane Flats

Wide-Leg Denim

Denim is always evolving and the in style that is trending is always changing or going back to something that was popular before. I have learned to always hold onto my jeans, because they will come back to being trendy at some point. Wide leg jeans are trending for this Fall and look super comfortable and chic.

My Favorite Flip Flops For Summer

It is almost summer time! I don’t know about you guys, but one of my favorite things about summer is the shift from my bulky winter shoes to my cute summer flops! I love wearing flip flops throughout the summer. I think they are the perfect warm weather shoe and can be paired with almost any outfit! There are so many different styles, colors, patterns, heights and choices on the market right now that I am having a hard time narrowing down which pairs I want to add to my closet this year. I have noticed a lot of stores have been having great sales online lately- you just have to keep an eye out for when they are happening! I have listed some of my favorite finds so far this season- let me know if you snag a pair!

 

Patterned Flip Flops

Old navy flip flops are always part of my wardrobe every year. They are so affordable and come in a ton of color options. I am loving some of the new patterns they have for sale this summer- check out the cute camo, leopard and polka dot print they are offering!

Crystal Glamour Flip Flop

I love these casual beach day ready flip flops from Nordstrom. They are super comfortable and get great reviews. I also love the little rhinestone on the top of the shoe that gives it some extra bedazzling!

Braided Flip Flop

These cute braided thong flip flops from Target go with any summer look. They come in three different colors and are under $13!

Pink And Black Bow Flip Flop

I am absolutely in love with these sweet flip flops from Express. I love the light pink color that is offset by a cute black bow. These flip flops are so feminine and would look great dressed down during the day or with a comfy maxi dress at night.

Roxy Vista Flip Flop

Amazon always has great deals on flip flops for the entire family. I really love these cute and comfy Roxy flip flops for women. They have over 1,000 reviews and an almost perfect 5 star rating. There are a ton of different colors to choose from and they are water friendly. They are a perfect flip flop for a beach day, pool day or water park!

Skechers On The Go Flip Flop

The Skechers flip flops on the go are hands down some of the most comfortable flip flops I have ever worn. They have high rebound foot cushioning and soft straps on the top. They are a perfect shoe to wear when doing a lot of walking around for the day.

Kate Spade Leopard Print Flip Flop

The Kate Spade milli flip flop offers a small wedge back to add some height to your flip flop. It comes in a really fun leopard pattern or heart pattern. It is also a designer flip flop that is under $25!

Tory Burch Miller Sandals

I know the Tory Burch Miller sandals aren’t technically flip flops, but I still wanted to share them. They are a bit of a splurge purchase, but I have seen them go on some of the best sales this season if you keep an eye out. These shoes are loved by influencers everywhere and have a very loyal following. They are known to be versatile, stylish and super comfortable!

Looking Cute for April Showers

I can’t believe that March is coming to an end tomorrow. I’m definitely looking forward to enjoying some warmer weather with my kiddos and planning some fun things we can do outside together to break up our days at home. However, along with the warmer weather comes April showers. I’ve never minded rain on a day where I don’t have anywhere I need to be. But, when you don’t have the option to stay inside all day, it can be a pain to plan an outfit that you will look cute in while staying dry! Not to mention trying to keep your hair looking good among rain drops can be an impossible task! I have started looking at Spring gear that can help me stay dry while looking fashionable.  Check out some of my favorite finds so far this year!

 

 

Tall Hunter Rain Boots

Hunter rain boots are always in style. They can get a bit pricey, but you can also snag good deals if you wait for sales or keep an eye out at Nordstrom Rack. They come in so many different colors that it can be hard to choose just one. I tend to lean towards a more neutral color that I know will look good with any outfit I throw on for the day!

Short Rain Boots

Short rain boots can make your outfit look super cute, while keeping your tootsies dry. I love these from Target. They are super affordable and come in every neutral color option you would need.

Printed Umbrella

I am in love with this floral printed umbrella from Anthropologie. It comes in three different color options and will add a pretty touch to your outfit. It is also more affordable than other brands!

Water Resistant Hooded Rain Jacket

This is the perfect basic rain jacket to wear during Spring from Nordstrom. It comes with a hood, a zipped up front and is water resistant. Nordstrom also offers free shipping and it is under $65!

Clear Trench Coat

I think clear trench coats are so cute to wear and add a fun look to your outfit of the day. I love this one from Nordstrom Rack that  has added a neon yellow zipper to make it pop!

Handbag Raincoat

As if I needed another reason to love the container store- check out this raincoat…. for your handbag! I hate when I am dressing up for the night and I have to be mindful of which purse I am going to use because of the weather. This raincoat for your handbag will help protect your cherished accessory during your rainy night out!

Back to Basics

Don’t be confused- basics don’t make you basic. Simple basics are the foundation for building a versatile and functional wardrobe. Even though basics are plain, simple and no frills, they can make any outfit stand out. I think it’s always a great investment to keep your eye out for quality basic staples, because they are one thing that won’t go out of style or need to be purged from your closet down the road.  They can be worn throughout the day for a casual woman on the go look and dressed up during the evening to make you ready for a night out. I don’t think you need to wear flashy colors to stand out either. To me, a bright white shirt or a cute LBD are attention grabbing all on their own. There are a lot of affordable options when shopping for basics; I have included some of my favorites below in case you need some new inspiration. I promise adding these items to your closet will give you so many extra choices when getting ready and take the pressure off of trying to figure out what you are going to wear every day. As they say, less is always more!

Solid Color Tee

I love throwing on a solid color tee with jeans for a casual on the go look. It is also easy to dress them up for a night out with a blazer, cardigan and statement jewelry.

Eyelet Sleeve Top

Pocket V Neck

Little Black Dress

I think the saying every gal should own a LBD is true! A simple black dress can come in hand in a pinch for so many different situations-date night out, a wedding, church, work and the list goes on! Pair it with pumps, sneakers or flip flops to finish off whatever vibe you are going for.

Lace Ruffle Swing Dress

Tie Waist Shirt Dress

Pumps

I love heels for a special occasion. Pumps are always in style and have so many different options when searching for your perfect pair. I have also noticed that wedge pumps are making a comeback this year, which are a lot more comfortable for an all day wear!

Coach Beadchain Pumps

Round Toe Wedge Pumps

Black Pants

How can you go wrong with a pair of black jeans, leggings or slacks? Black pants can be paired with pretty much any color top, including black! Grab yourself a few different styles that can be dressed up or down in several different ways.

Distressed Skinny Jeans

Levi Signature Skinny Jean

Cardigan

Cardigans are a must have staple for my closet. They are the perfect item to grab when the seasons are in transition mode and you want to make sure you will be warm enough throughout the day and evening.

Open Front Long Line Cardigan

Wide Placket Cardigan

Hoop Earrings

Hoop earrings will never go out of style, IMO. They come in so many different sizes, styles and colors; and can easily dress up the simplest of outfits.

Kendra Scott Small Hoops

3 Large Pair Hoops

Tote Bag

I think every Mom should invest in a big tote bag for herself- I’d be lost without mine! Tote bags can carry all of the things you need when running around and still make you look cute while doing it. I always lean towards a pretty camel or tan color since they look good with anything you wear!

Ralph Lauren Keaton Tote

Sole Society Faux Leather Tote

Jean Jacket

Jean jackets are something else that never seem to go out of style. Every year, I see a ton of new designs come out- a variety of colors, fades, distressing, lengths and more. They are great to pair with leggings while running errands or with a summer dress to keep warm at night.

White Denim Jacket
