Look of the Day #64

LOTD

Hi friends! Happy Thursday!

Today’s outfit is another one that I mixed and matched together based on clothes I already had in my closet. I love putting new outfits together whether they are for working in the office, going out with friends, or just running errands and relaxing.

Soaking up the last few days of summer

Before, I get down to the details of my outfit, I want to give a shout out to my cousin Grace for these great pictures. She is so talented with her photography and I love when we are able to work together with taking pictures.  I saw family a few weeks ago (one of my bucket list items complete) and she was able to take some great shots for me for my blog.  Be sure to keep your eyes open for some new pictures coming soon.

A fun summer’s day outfit

Now, onto the outfit details. I was running errands when I wore this cute number and it was a perfect play clothes outfit. I got this t-shirt from Old Navy a few years ago, I don’t wear it too much since it is very casual but when I am just relaxing it’s a quick top to throw on and I love the deep blue color.

These shorts are my favorite part of the outfit, most of the time my top is the statement piece but today it is my shorts. I also got these shorts from Old Navy a few years back too. I love the paint like design on the shorts and how fun they are too.  In all honesty, I haven’t bought shorts in a while due to the fact, I am working a lot now and I don’t dress down a lot, but whenever I need a pair of shorts, Gap or Old Navy are my go-to’s!

Just in case it is chilly, I always have a sweater with me. This long blue sweater always does the trick, it is light enough to protect me frim the sun but also heavy enough for keep me warm from a light summer breeze.

Lastly, I am wearing my favorite summer sandals from Kelly and Katie at DSW. I love the natural color of them not to mention they provide support for a lot of walking and they look cute. All good things in my book.

That completes this carefree summer outfit. The days of summer are winding down for me as I will be heading back to school soon. Now, get off the computer and have some fun outside. Have a great weekend!

Look of the Day #11

Jumping for joy on this Thursday!

LOTD

A quick look of the day for you on this lovely Thursday. I’m currently traveling today so expect a fun travel post next week. Also, a quick thank you to my cousin Anna, for these great pictures.

When I am not working in the summer I love to wear a cute short and t-shirt set. This is perfect for a day at the park, a shopping spree or just hanging out with family. It easy to throw on in the morning for a day out or at night for a late dinner.

Starting from the bottom, I’ve worn these high waisted shorts before and I can’t say enough about them. They are comfortable, easy to wash and since they are white they can be mixed with different tops. I previously wore this shorts with a black blouse, today I decided to go with a brighter top to break it up. My shorts are from Marshall’s. I always had good luck finding great deals at Marshalls.

Moving on to the top, I got this lightweight blouse from Old Navy. I like the bold and bright colors which complements the plain white shorts. The fun colors scream summer and this top can be worn with white shorts, black shorts or any combo.

That’s a quick recap for what I’m wearing today. I promise to have a MUCH longer post next week about my travels. Until then, have a happy Thursday and wonderful weekend!!

Look of the Day #10

LOTD

Gotta love a pop of pink in the middle of the summer. Thanks to my talented cousin for all the pictures.

Lots to talk about on this lovely Thursday! Today, I decided to change it up and show TWO different looks for two different women.

First, I want the give a HUGE shout out to my cousin for taking these amazing pictures. You will see more in future posts but here’s a sneak peek. She is so talented and I was so lucky to have her help me with these new shots.

A HUGE thank you to my cousin for all these amazing pictures (more to come in future posts)

Plus, how cute is her outfit?! I’m kinda obsessed. Her bold pants are so comfortable and are from TJ MAXX (one of my favorite stores) In a previous post I talked about how it’s good to have a few solid t-shirts in your wardrobe and its paying off. The white t-shirt complemented her pants perfectly. She got her shirt from TJMAXX as well and her shoes are from Marshalls. I love the straps on them!  Thank you so much Anna!!

I’m in love with this outfit. The pants are a must have for me!

Now, for today’s looks I’m showing two different styles of dresses. Another big thank you to my mom, who stepped in front of the camera this time to show off her outfit.  Both dresses are from Old Navy. They are both light weight which are great for summer and come in a variety of colors. I personally like to go with bright, bold colors so, I went with pink. My mom decided to go with blue, which is a more relaxed color.

Gotta show my mom some love on the blog. And i had to show her dress off!

Starting off with my look, I went the bright pink dress. I loved the cutouts in the front and back and I love how it was loose fitting. Since it is a solid color I can add different statement pieces. I decided to down play my look with just a simple pair of wedges. But, I could also add a sweater, jacket, or bold necklace to change up the look. I am always wearing these shoes. They are super comfortable, they are nude (gotta love a neutral color), and they are versatile. I can wear them with a dress, capris, or even jeans. Wedges are on my summer must have. I got mine from DSW.

Gotta love a pop of pink in the middle of the summer.

My mom decided to add more accessories to her outfit. She went with a similar dress in blue (her favorite color). She also decided to get a style with longer sleeves. They are ¾ quarter length and the dress works great for a night on the town with a bit of a breeze. My mom decided to add some jewelry. Her necklace and bracelets are from Old Navy as well. I love to use jewelry to make a statement but I love dhow my mom had her jewelry match her dress. I also like how she wore a pair of sandals to dress down her outfit. I, on the other hand dressed it up with wedges.

My mom is showing off her blue dress, on sale from Old Navy.
I love how she matched her jewelry perfectly to her dress.

I love how you can see two very different styles and outfit puts together from dresses that are so similar. I hope this gives you a few ideas for outfits to wear in the middle of the summer. As well, as show you how you can wear similar dresses in different ways.
