Casual Summer Dress
Happy Friday!! How was everyone’s 4th of July? It ended up raining all day with some mild flooding here in Houston. I enjoyed a relaxing day indoors before joining a friend for dinner and to watch the downtown fireworks. After a bit of a crazy work week, I am ready for a super chill and relaxing weekend.
This Leith tank dress may look a bit familiar, because I think every fashion blogger owns it, and I own it in black and have previously styled it on the blog (seen here). I love the black version, but I sometimes feel the black looks a little dressy for the casual look I sometimes want from this dress. When I was looking for other color options, I fell in love with this earthy purple color. It’s perfect for wearing under a denim jacket or stand alone with flat sandals.
I’m 5’3 and this dress comes to my knees, so for me it’s more of a midi dress look. With the bodycon fit, I like that the length sits a little longer on me. The middle is a ruched design. So even though it’s a bodycon style, it’s not super tight and has a little wiggle room. This dress comes in sooooo many color options, and it is going to be perfect for layering this fall with cardigans and boots.
Speaking of fall, we are officially one week out from the start of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!!! You know I will have you covered for all the best picks throughout the 3 weeks of the sale. I would love to know what items you plan to buy during the sale. Drop me a comment with what you are hoping to score a good deal on during the Nordstrom sale!

Pink Halter Top + White Denim
Hello Hello! I love a bold pink halter top for summer! I own a couple of them and wear them so many different ways. The bold color makes a great statement against white skinny jeans. I added in my fun floral mule sandals and double hoop earrings for a dressy casual summer outfit. Ya’ll I’m obsessed with these heels. I manage to wear them every week with so many different outfit styles. Check out my Insta Stories OOTD highlight reel to catch a couple ways I have styled them.
Another idea for this top is with dark skinny jeans and my purple floral pumps. I wore this outfit a few weeks ago for a girls’ night out. I posted the look to Instagram, you can check it out HERE. Halter tops also pair really well with shorts and wedge sandals or even a flat sandal. You may remember me pairing my distressed shorts with a different halter a few weeks ago, HERE. Halter tops are such a versatile piece for summer and a staple in my closet.
I hope ya’ll are having a good week! I feel like I am one of the few people heading into the office this week, but I have fun plans tomorrow with friends including pool time and fireworks. Have a fun and safe 4th of July!!

Hello Lovelies! Happy July! One of my favorite accessories year round, but especially during summer is great pair of statement earrings. Heavy statement necklaces in the heat are just no fun and usually make me feel hotter, but a great pair of summer statement earrings give you that same statement element without too much added weight.
One of my go to places for statement jewelry in general is Baublebar. They especially make such fun and colorful statement earrings. Also, if you want to save a little, I highly recommend checking out their Target line Sugarfix. I own many pairs from this line and can vouch for the quality. Many of their most popular pieces from their main line can be found in a nearly identical, but more affordable version in the Sugarfix line.
My second go to is Kendra Scott. Her new line is AMAZING! I included two pairs in this round up. They are a bit on the pricier side, but my Kendra jewelry holds up really well over time. Kendra Scott also sells a product called Lobe Wonder which I recommend if you worry statement earrings might be too heavy for you ears.
For today’s fabulous list of my top 20 summer statement earrings, I found fun colors featuring fringe, beads, tassel, and stone. I love mixing the colors in with my neutral outfits for a color pop. I also love to do a color mix like mix pink earrings with a yellow dress or turquoise earrings with a hot pink top. It’s a fun and easy way to add more color to your summer outfits.
I also included some gorgeous neutral statement earrings from silver and gold metals to whites to pretty shades of brown and beige. Statement earrings usually make people think of the bold and bright colors, but a gorgeous gold fringe stunner can still the enhance an outfit just as well. These neutral statement earrings work with colorful prints, bold solids, and create a sophisticated feel when added to a neutral outfit.
I hope you find something here to perfectly compliment your summer wardrobe! Ya’ll have a great rest of the weekend and thanks for stopping by!
