Polka Dots & Sunshine: Polka Dot Blouse & Polka Dot Shorts + Straw Oxfords

Today's outfit post is all about black & white in the summertime (who says you cannot wear dark colors during the extreme heat right...LOL). I've been into pattern on pattern outfits lately (latest post, HERE and via Instagram, HERE). You can definitely pair a top & bottom with the same pattern, go for different patterns within a similar color scheme; or just play around with it and see whatever floats your boat ^_^ Did you all realize that fall is right around the corner (3 months really is not that far away)? I flipped through quite a few magazines lately and saw all these designer's fall collections and I'm so excited (I just love that time of the year), how about you?

 

   

Winter White: Layered sweater over white shirt & White Jean + Trench Coat

Hello everyone!!! Hope you all had a great New Year's Eve, and have a good start on your next 365 day-journey. My husband and I had so much fun just hanging out at home by the fire, and watched all the Holiday movies we love during our long weekend off. (Boy does time fly when you are having fun!) :) Today's post is a simple all-white layered look with a trench coat. Layering is a must during the winter time (believe it or not even if you live in Texas) and I do love layering. If you are scared of looking thicker than you actually are, just play around with it. Not all looks benefit from layering, it takes a bit of practice to get to know what works and what does not on your body so do not give up! Have a great week, and welcome to 2015 ^_^

Summer Oxfords: Straw Oxfords & Jean Shorts

This is just another simple weekend outfit of mine. The material of this striped shirt is cotton making it a perfect fit for summer, as it’s airy and breathable. (This shirt last seen Bumble Bee) What is your go-to summer piece?  By the way, you will also see a lot of these oxfords (I’m currently super into them ^^).

Denim Day: Denim Shirtdress + Denim Shorts & Oxfords

The shirt dress is so versatile. You can wear it as a dress; or as a shirt over shorts/skirts. My shirtdress is a little short to be worn on its own, so I always wear shorts underneath. I wore this to go shopping with my husband as it was a hot and humid day here in Texas. For a laid-back vibe, I wore my shirtdress with these lace-up straw oxfords and layered necklaces and bracelets. Instead of tote, I opted for a structured bag to make a casual look more polished. Hope you have a great day!
