Summer is almost here which means cute warm-weather clothes! I was lucky enough to have an amazing getaway for spring break with my soon to be sister-in-law for her bachelorette party to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico so I picked out some of the cutest pieces from Red Dress, and wanted to show you how I styled them to get you inspired for looks to rock this Summer!
Wow in a Watercolor Kimono
This maxi length semi-sheer kimono is absolutely gorg! There is a tie so you can wear it closed as a swimmie cover-up or open with an outfit as I have done here. The colors are neutral so you can wear it with pretty much any solid color. Here I have paired it with a white crop top and my favorite $15 shorts from Target.
Here is a quick lookbook of the outfits I planned, packed, and wore during Fashion Week this past February. I went with neutral tones and a 70’s inspired vibe. Honestly, I usually have one favorite look that stands out above the rest, but this year I loved all of the looks so much! Everything was comfortable and easy to wear all day – which is super important when it’s rainy, cold and you have to walk a lot! So without further ado, here are the looks!
While if New Mexico we traveled out to the Bisti Badlands and of course I needed a few pictures here before we started our adventuring. 😉 So this look is so light, airy and perfect for the summer and late spring. The beautiful turquoise color of the dress looks perfect with all skin tones and hair shades! I point this out because I recently dyed my hair back to its natural color and have noticed certain colors I would wear as a blonde I might not feel it looks as flattering on a brunette and vice versa. But this color is perfect for everyone for the season.
This is another dress I ordered from Boohoo and I love the boho feel of this piece. It looks beautiful with cool tone jewelry such as silvers and blues, and even shades of taupe for accessories. Here I paired it with a taupe felt hat from Jessica Simpson, this beautiful silver mesh watch from Vincera and sparkling silver rhinestone sandals. This Boohoo dress is great quality and was an amazing price so be sure to get it before it sells out if you are interested in it! I really love this dress and am sure I will be wearing it on repeat this season!
While exploring Old Town Albuquerque I wore this beautiful floral peasant maxi dress, and seriously received so many complements in it! It is such a flattering and comfortable dress! I must also add that it is totally travel friendly. The weight of the fabric is ideal as it does not wrinkle so you can literally pull it out of your luggage and put it on.
The dress was perfect for the desert climate as it has long sleeves and a breezy full skirt.
I paired this dress with a few pieces of my grandmother’s vintage silvery jewelry and simple slip-on sandals. This dress is a warm shade of navy and covered in a lush floral print which means you can wear it all day and not have to worry about changing for the evening.
This dress can be accessorized for a boho or southwestern look and is priced so well I am sure it will sell out soon! I purchased it for just over $30! – yes, that’s right, I know sounds crazy! So if you love it, be sure to order soon or you might miss out!
I am a sucker for clothing with embroidery so when I spotted this piece on the Boohoo website I made no exception and had to get it! The fit is so adorable with the pleated shoulder accents give it a unique touch.
So for this look I wanted to tie in color so that the embroidery would really pop. To do so, I added a bright orange scarf to my hair and wore my current favorite bold earrings from Sugarfix! And to complete the ensemble I paired everything with mywhite ankle boots. These actually ended up an excellent choice for the climate, as we were in New Mexico.
Hair accessories are super “in” right now so I have gone ahead and linked a couple of extra options here for you guys to check out. I really enjoyed wearing the orange bandana. It was such a simple accessory to add to my look but make such a huge impact!
For a fun day out in NYC; eating at some of the funnest dessert places like Rice to Riches, and Beard Papas along with walking the Brooklyn Bridge I wanted to wear a classic black and white ensemble with a touch of edge – it was Fashion Week after all! So this is the OOTD I came up with.
This white cozy sweater and chunky heeled boots are both from Express. I scored them during a 50% off sale and absolutely love both of these purchases. My skirt is from Tobi and is made of a faux suede material and features a snap front with brass tone stud accents. Tobi runs special promos all of the time so be sure to check out their site for some amazing deals! For an added touch of texture, I decided to wear black pantyhose with black fishnets over top. This creates such a unique look! For accessories, I have my favorite black sunnies, a knit beret, these super fun black and white floral drop earrings, and for a pop of color this beautiful tassel clutch from Stella and Dot.
