Fruity, Flamingo, Fun Fashion

It's National Pink Day - so I thought I'd bring y'all a crazy, fun, super pink outfit. I can not say enough about this flamingo dress. Seriously the most summery piece in my closet and I am beyond obsessed!!! I will confess however, after this photoshoot I cut the tulle layer out (between the flamingo fabric and the lining was a layer of tulle) to bring the puffiness down a bit - but it took me 2 seconds! Some people may love the tulle - but I found it a little uncomfortable. So it is now tulle-less but just as cute! And it washed up like a dream which is always important for me! I love being able to just throw my clothes in the wash -no hand wash or dry clean here! To make it even more summery, I topped it off with some pink tassel earrings and this cute little watermelon purse!

Voila. Summer fashion at its funnest. shop this look below!

How to Style a Button-Up for Summer

Today, I'm showing y'all my favorite way to transition button-ups into spring and summer. I love layering them over a cute dress or a romper! In this case, I grabbed by favorite chambray romper as a base. Chambray (or any denim) is the perfect base for any outfit because it's a great neutral without having to go for the traditional black and white. Then I grabbed my newest button-up from my friends over at Evy's Tree - it's the prettiest floral print making it perfect for warmer weather! When I'm wearing it over a dress/romper, I typically tie it up! The tricky part is tying it. It took me a while to get this down. I first button up one or two buttons at the level of my waist and leave the bottom few buttons and the top few buttons open. Then I fold the back of the top up and under to the level I want it, then grab the front ends and tie a knot! 

Hopefully that made sense - it's hard to put into writing! But if y'all have any questions, shoot me a DM on Instagram! AND Evy's Tree is having a Mother's Day sale, so grab this shirt while you can! Happy styling!

Floral Crush

I don't know about y'all - but we had a freak wave of semi-cool weather and I am totally loving every minute. It has me SO ready for fall! I've been craving the days of scarves, layers and boots. But as it's not quite cold enough for all of that yet, I decided to get a slight taste of fall fashion with this comfy midi dress! Its from a cute little boutique, Simply Bliss Boutique, who offer modest clothing options for fashion forward women. It's lined down to the knee and also has a fun little lace up tassel detail on the back. It's perfect by itself in the summer, but I can't wait to pair it with a cute jean jacket and booties in the fall! And Simply Bliss Boutique was kind enough to offer you all a discount code - use code MUSINGS5 for $5 off any $30 purchase or code MUSINGS10 for $10 off any $50 purchase.

For this look, I added in a few blush details. Along with blush studded sandals and my all-time favorite sunglasses, I topped it off with this gorgeous blush bag! The website says beige, but I can assure you it has a gorgeous blush tone to it! You can carry it by the handles or add the matching shoulder strap! It has gold detailing throughout and good news - this bag is currently on sale! So pick it up while you can! It's also available in black.

Fashion on a Budget

Okay...let's get it out of the way. I was photo-bombed by a cat. Yes, a cat. But at least he's cute, right?

And I'm sure that it's no shocker to you that my obsession with off the shoulder tops continues! I've completely lost track of how many I own now - but they're so perfect for this unbearable summer heat. But I'm excited to say that this one from She Inside is UNDER $13!! Serious bargain. It's really long, so you can wear it tucked in with shorts or a skirt - but I'm also planning on wearing it with some leather leggings and booties in the fall. The fabric isn't sheer and it washes up like a champ.

So for that cheap - you need it. I wish it came in other colors because I would totally buy them all! Shop this look below.

Go-To Summer Wear

It's only May and it is already CRAZY hot in Arkansas, so I'm embracing my summer wardrobe. Recently I've been adding a few new staples into my summer rotation, including this fun asymmetric denim skirt from Loft. It's super comfy and perfect for those days you aren't feeling shorts (but it's denim - so it's still wind friendly).  And y'all know I'm a sucker for a good tank top. I'm in love this olive one I picked up at Maude the other day! It's cropped - so you can wear it tucked into a skirt or shorts or leave it out with some flare jeans! Olive is one of my favorite colors to wear because it's still neutral without being grey, white or black - so you can wear it with just about anything! It's safe to say that this top has become a new staple in my wardrobe. 

Also - my hair has gotten super long, so I've been trying to master braiding before this summer fully hits! So if anyone has fun braid ideas - let me know!
