Look of the Day #57

Happy Thursday!!!

I love June, the sun shines brighter, the flowers smell better, and the children are out for summer. I love summer days, the perfect pair for warm summer weather is a cute outfit. Today, I have the perfect summer sun dress.

One of my favorite summer trends are cotton dresses. I love how lightweight and effortless they look When wearing cotton dresses, you can dress it up or down depending on the occasion. For example, with today’s look, I have worn it to work, to Church, and to a graduation party. The perfect summer dress for any occasion.

Wearing pink and going bold…it truly is the start of summer

Although, pink is not my favorite color, I wear it a lot in summer months. It matches my skin and hair well. I also like how there are several shades of pink and how they can be paired with other neutral colors like black, white, or nude to make more outfits.

Loving the boldness of summer

Focusing on today’s dress, I got it from Old Navy a few years back and I always like to wear it to change up what I wear when I go to work. It’s lightweight and made from soft material- both things that I love about Old Navy’s clothing. I love the bold stripes this pink and white dress provides, it really causes this dress to stand out.

I decided to wear my summer nude wedges with the outfit to dress it up. I wear these wedges a lot in the summer especially when dressing up. Nude shoes, whether they be heels, wedges, or ballet flats are a must when it comes to your wardrobe. I got my wedges from DSW, my go to for all styles of shoes.

I also made the decision to add some fun jewelry to the mix. I got these cute earrings at Charming Charlie’s and I got this necklace from Francesca’s. I love the metal daisies and how they add another dimension to the outfit.

Loving the jewerly and the pop that it adds to the outfit.

That’s a wrap up for today’s outfit. I hope this encourages you to go for a brighter color every once in a while. Have a sun shining weekend!

Hello All!

Happy April!

I hope your April’s are all off to a good start. I am back to school for the last leg of the semester. This semester and year has flown by!  My April is jammed packed, if I survive this month, I think I can tackle anything. Haha.

Today, I am sharing the outfit I wore on Easter. I spent my Easter Sunday by attending mass and spending time with family. I couldn’t have asked for a better day.  I think Spring is finally upon on, I wanted to get in the spirit with this bold print floral dress. I don’t often wear these colors, but I saw the dress a few years ago and couldn’t resist.

I actually purchased this dress two years ago from Nordstrom’s . Unfortunately, it is no longer in stock.  I wore it for my high school Baccalaureate Mass. It was held at the end of the year and I love the bright colors. I love to buy things that are very good quality so i can wear them on numerous occasions especially as I will be heading into the real world soon. I love the dark blues and greens, but I love the pop of yellow even more. I decided to bring out the yellow with these light-yellow heels from Kelly and Katie, I got them at DSW a few years ago as well. I added some simple but classic to go along with the dress and shoes.

I don’t often wear bold dresses like this, but I decided to change up my look for Easter. I often choose to wear simple colors and add bold jewelry or accessories as my statement pieces. Today, however, my dress was my statement piece.

I can’t wait for Spring to get fully underway for all things spring fashion. What trends are you looking forward to this spring/summer season?

Also, I will be out of town this weekend, to follow along with my adventures, check out my Instagram for all things travel @elspethsdaybyday

See you next week!!

Look of the Day #45

Happy (Holy) Thursday!

I am home for a long weekend for Easter Break. Not only is it a time to celebrate Jesus’ Resurrection, but It’s great to be home for one last long weekend to refuel for the end of the semester.

Last weekend, I had a semi-formal dance at school, it was an exciting time to dress up and have a good night with friends. I am sharing what I wore along with the accessories. Unfortunately, I got this dress a few years ago, so it’s not sold anymore but hopefully, this inspires you to try a new bold look the next time you are shopping.

Throughout high school, I attended all my homecomings, proms, and semi-formals. I loved getting dressed up for a night with friends to make memories. However, it can add up with everything you need, and most of the time you only wear the dress once and it goes up in your closet. Lucky for me, for every formal or semi-formal occasion I have had in college, I was able to rewear something I wore in high school. This saved me money from buying new dresses, and it allowed me to wear the dresses I wore in high school again. Thankfully, dresses I wore in high school still fit and are in style.

FRI-YAY night out

Now, let’s get down to the details of this dress. I got this dress from Francesca’s Boutique a few years ago on sale! I was drawn to it’s bright color and how fun it looked. The ruffles made the dress so unique. At the time in high school and last semester, I was rewatching Gossip Girl (definitely a good show to binge watch!) and I couldn’t help but notice the similarities between my dress and the iconic dress Blair Waldorf wore in Paris in season 4.

The kinda look similar, right!?

I paired this bright red dress with a pair of red heels I got from DSW this past year. I wore them with a black dress for Christmas, and the red from my dress matched the red shoes so I had to pair them together. I dressed up this look with some fake diamond studs to add some bling to the outfit along with a red sparkle nail polish, it is called Pretty Pout from Chrome Girl Nails.

I used the KoKo Kollection face palette from Kylie Cosmetics along with the Burgundy Eye Shadow palette for my makeup.

When I first saw this dress a few years ago, I wasn’t sure I would like the dress since it was very bright and bold, but now it is one of my favorite dresses. Don’t be afraid to wear something that is bold. You may end up loving it.

If you celebrate Easter, I hope you all have a wonderful Easter with your family, if you don’t have a  great weekend!
