BEST SUMMER CLOTHING PIECE: JUMPSUITS








This has been my favorite clothing item for summer for the past few years and I don't think I will ever get sick of it. You can go cozy/lounge-y or dressy and the best part is that it is one piece (you might feel like you have to literally strip down to go to the bathroom, but so worth it!) I have never been a big "dress" kind of girl, and jumpsuits are just so much more fun and more my style. I find that they are really flattering and elongate your legs (obviously the culotte style not so much, but still really cute and fun!). I usually find that the best places to shop for affordable jumpsuits in person are Nordstrom Rack, TJ Maxx, Marshall's, Ross and Forever 21. If you are more of an online shopper check out all of the cute and affordable ones I linked below. They are all under $40! My tip: if you are on a budget go for a solid color, that way you can style it with a bunch of different accessories & get more use out of it! I loooveee my floral one, but it is so specific that I have only worn it 2x in the last year because there aren't as many ways to make it look different.

Easy Spring and Summer Outfits from 2 main pieces: Boyfriend Jeans & Reversible Belt



Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a while! Anyways, I wanted to share with you guys another easy outfit. I love having pieces that I can mix and match and wear every day, while not looking like I am wearing the same thing (kind of like a capsule wardrobe, but let's be real I have way too much crap to actually call my wardrobe a capsule wardrobe). I was recently inspired by my beautiful best friend (in the above picture on the left) when she came to visit and was wearing the cutest pair of boyfriend jeans! I always thought boyfriend jeans would look messy on me because I have a more curvy bottom, but I am seriously obsessed!I love that you can wear them in hotter weather because they have rips and are more flowy (so you can actually breathe). I actually got this pair from Plato's Closet (but they were originally from one of my favorite stores, Target. I ended up getting them for around $6.20, which is crazy and I can't find that good of a deal online for you guys, but if you aren't opposed to buying used jeans or digging around when you shop you should try your local Plato's because I find a lot of my jeans there for super inexpensive! You can never go wrong with American Eagle so I included a bunch of jeans from there along with Target and Forever21. The point is, find a pair of boyfriend jeans you LOVE the fit of and you can wear them all Spring and Summer a bunch of different ways (and probably most of the year). The other staple piece of my outfits is this really nice, minimalistic black/white reversible belt from Target. It has simple silver hardware and it honestly looks like it would be $50 or so, but it's only $14.99. The buckle actually has that magnetic mechanism that you pull and twist around to fully reverse the belt (definitely not just a cheap flip over). I couldn't find it on the Target website, so try going into the actual store to look! Since I couldn't find it I linked a few cute alternatives below as well and I think you guys will like it because it just polishes up the jeans a little bit since they are a bit baggy and destroyed. Finally, pick your favorite basic (or not) fitted tops  and tuck them in (or you can wear a plain body suit), throw on a pair of sandals, booties or wedges and you have a super easy and cute outfit! My favorite is a basic tank top (like the $3 ones from Old Navy or Forever 21) or body suit and a cute pair of booties :) P.S. all of these tops I got from Ross for under $7. Ross doesn't have a shopable website so I couldn't link them, but if you are on a serious budget go check out Ross for basic body suits and tanks, they may not be the best quality, but for stuff like that I always have good luck there (especially for something like this pink ruffle body suit that I don't know if I will wear next year, ya know?)

SANDALS FOR SPRING AND SUMMER









Hey guys! It's finally starting to get nice out where I live and I wanted to share some of my favorite styles of sandals with you so you can snag them up easily :) I am always about comfort and purchasing things that I can rewear with multiple different outfits and wanted to share some shoes with you guys that you can style a few different ways. I have been really loving flat slide sandals lately. They feel like you are wearing slippers and I highly recommend picking up a pair! I love the look of a cozy t-shirt or tank with distressed jeans and either my Adidas slides or a pair of faux fur ones. I linked a couple of super cute ones that are (as always) very affordable--I need those light pink Adidas ones next! Another one of my favorite trends is a sandal that wraps around your ankle. I included a bunch of flat versions and heeled versions. The Merona ones from Target that are light denim are seriously so adorable on! I tried them on last week and they are definitely on my list of things I want to buy next :) A few more trends that I have been loving are: mules, caged booties, gladiators with a white athletic sole and tassels! I hope you guys found this helpful and find a pair below that you love!
