Happy Monday everyone! Today I'm sharing a trend that has taken a little bit of time to win me over: the slip dress. When I first noticed these creeping onto the fashion scene, I honestly thought they looked like nightgowns (some of them definitely still do), but I've come to realize how versatile they can be! The slip dress is a great option if you need an outfit that will easily transition from day to night. I topped mine off with an army green vest, and knotted the dress at the side to create a more casual look that's perfect for work or running around on the weekend. Remove the vest and release the knot though, and you're ready for a romantic dinner or a night out on the town. Happy shopping loves! xoxo

I've been M.I.A. for a bit, but I'm BACK and ready to show you guys some really cool outfit ideas in the coming weeks. Work was crazy busy lately, and I moved apartments over the Fourth of July weekend, so my hands have been tied up with other responsibilities. But, I moved into my own apartment, which was kind of a big deal :), and I'm absolutely in LOVE with it. Anyways, back to talking about style!

I found this shift dress at J.Crew Factory earlier this summer, and I'd be lying if I didn't say it was a great staple piece to add to my closet. Having a "go-to" dress in a classic color on the bench for when you need something quick is a great thing to do - you never know when you'll be invited to do something last minute! I chose to go with a more casual look, and paired my dress with a bright neon embroidered clutch and silver block heels - a great option for any type of shower, a wedding, or really any reason to dress up just a little bit. The great thing about this dress though, is that it can also be worn to formal gatherings with a quick change of accessories. Versatility at its finest!

On another note, every time I've worn these heels I've gotten a TON of compliments on them, and they're only $36!! OH, and they're also some of the comfiest heels I own. You definitely can't beat that. As for the embroidered clutch; this was a rare find at TJ Maxx. One thing I've learned over the past couple years is that the key to finding those hidden gems at TJ Maxx is making frequent stops (And I've read in the past that they put out new merch on Thursday, FYI).

I'm so happy to be back sharing my ideas with you guys - keep checking back in the coming weeks for some new & exciting outfit inspiration! Happy shopping Loves! xoxo
