If you guys have been following me on Facebook or Instagram for awhile, you know I’m usually all about leggings and workout gear for my daily look. It’s comfortable and quick when I’m running my kids around or doing errands. Plus, I’m already in what I need to wear for my workout later that day. Being a busy mom of three, I’m always about what saves myself time. However, that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped loving to glam it up for date night, family events, church or a day I want to feel a little extra. After sifting through my closet and finding what I want to wear for that day or night, I’m still only halfway done getting ready. To me, one of the most enjoyable parts of getting ready is choosing what accessories I’m going to pair with my outfit. I believe taking time out to accessorize is what pulls your entire look together and shows off your personality. You can also do a quick accessory change at night to change the vibe of your afternoon look. By simply swapping out small earrings to large hoops, flats to heels, or a large tote purse to a clutch, you’ve changed the entire attitude of your outfit. I’ve listed below my favorite go to accessories that will make any outfit feel complete!

Jewelry

Jewelry is one of the easiest accessories to add to your outfit. I don’t think jewelry needs to be expensive to make an outfit look amazing. I have my go to pieces that I usually wear when I’m dressing up (by dressing up, I mean no workout gear). I think every girl should own a pair of hoops, studs, stackable bracelets and a few necklaces in different lengths. This provides plenty of options to switch up your look for that day’s activity. 

Handbags

Handbags are by far my favorite accessory. I’m usually lugging around a large tote so I can carry the 100,000 plus items my kids might need while we are out. But, if I’m going out with just my hubby for the evening, I like to switch to a small clutch or crossbody. I recently wrote a blog about my love for handbags and some that are trending right now. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you can see it here. You still have time to snag one of these beauties for this summer!

Shoes

If you can’t tell by the pictures below, another one of my favorite accessories is shoes! I am a firm believer a girl can never have enough shoes! I think shoes are one of the most versatile staples to add to an outfit. If you have a summer dress on during the day while running errands, put on a pair of converse or sneakers to make your look casual and comfortable for walking. Instead of changing your entire outfit for a night out, swap your comfy shoes to a cute pair of sandals or flip flops for a fun evening look. Some people like to match whatever color shoes they have on to their handbag, others mix it up. I always believe you should do whatever makes you feel your best!

Hair Accessories 

Hair accessories are usually a quick, easy and affordable way to add some extra pizazz to your daily look. I love throwing on a bandana, or cute clip after I finish my hairstyle for the day. I also think hats are super fun to dress up an outfit. Plus, they are a perfect time saver on not having to style or wash your hair for the day. I am all about stretching my hair washes for as long as I can and a hat is a perfect tool in helping me!

Jackets 

Jackets are cute, fun and functional. There are always days where the weather is expected to be a bit unpredictable. If I am not sure if I might end up getting chilly at some point, I like to tie a jacket around my waist or leave one in the car. They are also great for making a fancier dress have a more casual vibe, or dressing up a simple look.

Scarves

Scarves are like jackets to me. They provide function and style. I think a lot of people think scarves are only worn when running around outside in the cold weather. I love to pair them up with my outfit for the day during cooler months. This way I am keeping warm and looking stylish while doing it!

Summer time is here, and the heat has come to join the party! It’s no secret that my family and I love to be outside whenever possible. With the hot days ahead of us, we will spend a lot of time lounging outside in our swimwear. Getting into a bathing suit can be a stressful thing for us ladies. Unfortunately, we tend to be our own worst critics and sometimes cringe at the thought of wearing a bathing suit in public. The good news is that there are so many options to choose from when picking out a swimsuit, you can find something for every size, shape and age that will hopefully leave you feeling fantastic. My hope is every single woman feels proud of the body she has and rocks a swimsuit with confidence because you are beautiful exactly as you are! So, if you are still in search for that perfect suit, check out some of my favorites below. I have also linked some of the cutest cover- ups that are trending this summer. I always love to have at least one cover-up with me when we are out, so I can throw it over top of my bathing suit and feel comfortable and stylish at the same time. Stay cool during these hot months and keep looking fabulous!

Beach Pattern One Piece

I featured this one piece on my Instagram a couple of months ago and gave out some to a couple of my followers in a giveaway. I am still loving this stylish bathing suit and all of the other choices Cupshe has. The prices are also super affordable!

Floral Tankini Two Piece

Amazon for the win- again! I love this two-piece tankini set. The top has a built-in tummy control and the bottoms are boy shorts that provide extra coverage for your bum. I’m also loving the pretty floral pattern and colors!

Does anyone else think of the iconic Barbie swimsuit when looking at this? I do and it’s giving me all the feels! This one piece gives an extra glam look with an off the shoulder design and gives full front coverage.

High Waist Bikini Bottoms

How cute are these high waisted bikini bottoms from Target? I love the cute design on the sides. Also Target lets you mix and match tops and bottoms, making it easy to pick what style you like the best!

Plunge One Piece

This one piece from Nordstrom is fun and flirty while keeping yourself fully covered. It also has cute tortoise colored rings at the shoulders which gives it an extra hint of excitement!

I am in love with this two piece from Amazon. The ruffled top is so feminine and provides great coverage. It comes in a ton of different colors and I love the mismatched look of the bottoms.

This is the comfiest cover-up from Old Navy. It comes in multiple colors and the price can’t be beat! It is perfect to throw on while walking around shopping at the beach!

This maxi cover-up from Nordstrom is gorgeous and perfect for a beach resort with your honey. It’s breezy and elegant for a day or night date at the beach!

Boyfriend Cover-Up Shirt

I love this new trend that is making a splash this summer time. This oversized shirt is a perfect casual and fun top to throw on for extra coverage when at the pool!

When I’m not working out or lounging in my leggings, my favorite thing to wear is jeans. Anyone else a denim lover? Jeans are perfect for almost every occasion- you can wear them dressed down and for comfort or dressed up for a night on the town. I have seen so many new styles come out over the past year- different lengths, distressing, colors, leg width and the list goes on. I find myself wanting all of them so I am always on the hunt for a good sale. In addition to jeans, I am noticing a ton of other cute denim pieces that are being added to a lot of ladies wardrobes this Spring. I feel like denim is one thing that will never go out of style, so it is worth the splurge to build up your collection. Even when one look becomes a little less popular, it always comes back full circle at some point! Check out some of my favorite pieces below and snag yourself a few to rock this Spring!

Handbags. One of my favorite accessories that there ever was! I know there are plenty of people (mainly my husband) who do not understand my love for a good handbag. It is something that should be functional to hold whatever items I need when I leave my house. Does it really matter what it looks like as long as its main purpose is being fulfilled? To this I say yes- yes it does. A purse is something I use every single day. And while I do need it to provide a level of functionality on holding my everyday necessities, it’s also so much more than that to me. Most ladies like to accessorize an outfit after they’ve spent time getting a shower and doing their hair and makeup. A handbag can be the last thing you add that will pull your entire outfit together! And, can we just take a minute to acknowledge how many choices we have when picking out a purse?  They come in so many different sizes, shapes, materials, and colors that there is a perfect choice for everyone! How in the world would we be able to narrow down the choices to only one or two and base it on functionality only? When my handbag game is on point with whatever style I am rocking that day, I feel like my entire look is complete! Spring time is the perfect chance to start hunting for a new handbag for the upcoming warmer weather. Every designer is racking their brains on coming out with something new and eye catching. I’ve listed below some of the new trends that are taking over this Spring! Check out some of my favorites and let me know if you snag any of them so I can have purse envy!

Straw Bags

Straw bags are making an appearance everywhere this year! I love how many different shapes and colors they come in as well. I think they are the perfect accessory for a beach vacation or a warm summer date night!

Woven Straw Tote

Beach Weekend Straw Tote

Circle Straw Crossbody

Clear Bags

Clear bags are back again this year. I wasn’t sure how I felt about them when they first came out. But, I love how easy it is to find whatever I need. It also motivates me to keep my bag organized and cleaned out since you can see everything inside of it!

Clear Tote Bag

Yellow Trim Clear Bag

Neon Colored Bags

I love purses that are bright and stand out. Neon colors are popping up everywhere. If you are wearing a darker colored outfit, these can really brighten up your look!

Patent Bag

Lanyard Bags

Lanyard “bags” are making a big splash on the runways this year. I wasn’t sure at first because they obviously don’t hold much. But, if you are running a quick errand and just need your license and one card they work well. They could also be perfect when you are in the airport and need to keep your ID close by and you don’t want to have to rummage through a large bag to find it.

Lanyard

Bucket Bags

I am obsessed with this bucket bag from Express. It is a perfect size to hold all of your date night essentials and dress up any outfit. You also can’t beat the price!
