Seeing Stripes & Statement Sleeves

Top: Gordman’s | Shorts: Old Navy | Bag: Amazon | Jewelry: OSOS New YorkLuca Love

Hey beauties! Hope you are all having an amazing week. What is your favorite trend right now? I am currently obsessed with statement sleeves! I have always been a 3/4 length sleeve fan so now all of the ruffles, embellishments, and tiers are the icing on the cake for me! Seriously, statement sleeves has got to be one of my favorite trends ever!

So this look is super casual and perfect for the warmer temps! I found this lightweight striped top at Gordman’s for only $10.99. I love how it looks with white shorts and capris! The two together create such a clean and crisp ensemble. For accessories, I went with oversized sunnies, this amazing bamboo clutch I found on Amazon, and 3 Luca Love pieces! – 2 bracelets and an anklet. If you haven’t heard of Luca Love, definitely check them out. They have an amazing mission and your purchase goes to a wonderful cause.

 

Fun Ways to Dress Up White Shorts

Summertime means shorts…well it definitely does if you live in Texas! My favorite shorts to wear are these white rolled cuff denim ones from Old Navy. I just love the fit, length and stretch they offer! But the trick here is…how do you dress them up?

Shorts are super fun to wear, and the keep you cool, but lets face it, they are a casual piece of clothing. But as summer approaches, and the temperatures rise, dressing up gets very difficult and sometimes downright impossible! Which is why I wanted to brainstorm ways to create cute, wearable ensembles incorporating shorts that are chic enough you could brunch, shop, and even socialize in.

That is how I landed on this combination! This lightweight Calvin Klein top is designed in a stretch material, that features a split neck design and roll-tab sleeves. The weight of the material allows the top to hang just right, as the print sets a cooling chic tone. To top off the look, I paired it with stacked bracelets, 50’s inspired sunnies and espadrille wedges. What takes this look from casual, to chic, is the wedges and the design of the top. Adding a modern print, 3/4 length sleeves, and a slightly dressy shoe, completely morphs the ensemble.
