Happy Friday you guys!

I always love styling and shopping for the latest trends like off the shoulder tops, statement earrings, and block heel sandals, but I firmly believe every closet should have a great set of staples.  Each season has a few of it’s own must have pieces, so I wanted to share a few of my must have summer wardrobe basics.

Wardrobe staples are those items that can be incorporated into a variety of outfits to really maximize your closet.  For me, it all starts with the shoes.  A cognac brown or nude wedge sandal is a must during summer.  They pair great with jeans, shorts, and dresses.  I like to wear them when I wear shorts because I think they help make your legs look longer and leaner.  They are the perfect shoe to wear to any outdoor events or parties because they will not sink into the grass.  I found this pair for under $100 and have been loving them!

Second, you need a few solid color tank tops.   I have this tank top in white and black which is perfect for wearing solo with a statement necklace or layering under a kimono, plus this fun olive color to pair with jeans and shorts.  These tank tops are thick and not see through, plus the straps perfectly cover my bra straps.  I also love that they are a slightly longer in length.

Third, a neutral crossbody bag.  I have had this one for a few years, and Sole Society brings it back every year.  It’s one of my most used purses during the summer.  It’s a light color with a unique design, and it holds everything I need including sunglasses in a case.  I just added this new bag from Sole Society, so I will probably be rotating between these two all season.

Fourth, distressed jeans.  Summer style tends to be a bit more casual, so it’s the perfect season to pull out your distressed jeans.  You can pair these jeans with trendy tops or a basic tee or tank and be good to go.  Distressed jeans are also fun to dress up with heels for a night out.  The distressed jeans I linked are the latest pair I have purchased.  The quality is pretty good for $45.  They recommend sizing up, but for me the fit was true to size.

My last must have is a few simple jewelry pieces.  Ya’ll know I love me some statement jewelry, but when it’s 100 degrees out I tend to reach for my daintier pieces like these two necklaces, a simple pair of studs, and a gold bangle.  My necklaces are from Gorjana, and I love that her necklaces are designed to be layered together.

There you have it, the pieces that live at the core of my closet.  Almost every outfit I wear this summer will incorporate at least one of these items.  Trendy is fun, but never neglect the core of your wardrobe!

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope ya’ll have a great weekend!

I always love when Spring fashion starts hitting the stores, and I can start adding all the beautiful colors and floral prints into my wardrobe.  I feel like I am not the only one loving the Spring fashion right now.  Most of the items I’ve been purchasing lately have been selling out before I have the chance to share them on the blog.  It always bums me out a little to share such a cute top when you can’t shop it yourself.  Keep your eyes peeled to Instagram and Instagram stories, and I will try to share when some of these tops come back in stock!  I feel like this happens every March, and the items usually get restocked quickly.

This embroidered floral top is the perfect piece for a casual Spring outfit.  I love how perfectly it pairs with distressed jeans and booties.  It can also be styled with shorts and sandals when the weather heats up this summer.

I really wanted to make the pinks in the embroidered floral design pop, so I paired this top with my pink ball earrings.  These earrings are on major clearance right now, plus Baublebar is having a HUGE 25% off everything sale with code FF25.  The sale includes many of their essential items which are usually not included in sales.  It’s the perfect time to stock up on all the colorful statement jewelry!

Hello friends!  It has been a busy few days here in Houston.  Everyone is preparing for Hurricane Harvey to drench pretty much the entire Texas coast starting today and going through mid next week.  We’ve been prepping for a long weekend indoors.  Fingers crossed, we don’t lose power because that always makes the situation more difficult.

Anyway enough weather talk, let’s talk about this outfit – mainly this super adorable necklace.  I have been seeking out a few more turquoise jewelry pieces lately.  This ring is high on my wish list!  For me, turquoise jewelry adds that casual boho vibe to any outfit.  This one is a pre-layered y choker necklace, so you just clasp at the back and have gorgeous necklace layers.  The y dips low, so you add this to a deeper vneck to add a little sexiness to any outfit.  You can also pair it with a crew neck tee and let all the layers fall on top the tee.

I loved the turquoise mixed with the purple of this tank.  I think the colors compliment each other well.  I saw this tank is currently sold out in this color.  A few more color options were available, but going fast.  I’m really hoping they bring it back in a few fall colors like olive, because it’s perfect for layering.

Alright you guys, thanks for stopping by the blog today.  If you are in Houston or Texas, please stay safe and dry.  Pending I don’t lose power, I will see you guys back here next week!

Hello Ladies!! How was your weekend?  I had a blast celebrating birthdays for a couple of my girlfriends.  I mentioned the spin class party in Friday’s post, but I also attended a super fun and awesome surprise party at a roller skating rink.  Obviously, I couldn’t mention that one Friday, just in case she happened to read my post that day.  It was nostalgic and fun to go to the rink, and the bonus I didn’t fall!  Both parties were fun and different, a nice change up from the usual dinner or drinks.

Sometimes on my lunch breaks, I love to head to Nordstrom to just browse/window shop and be around all the pretty clothes.  It’s a nice break from the office to style outfits in my head and let my creativity flow for a bit.  This bright yellow floral blouse caught my eye on one of those trips a few weeks ago.  It’s such a fun, happy, and bright print.  Looking at it just made me smile.

The top is sheer, and I’m wearing a white camisole underneath it.  I personally like this lightweight sheer material, because it is going to make it more breathable during our HOT Texas summer.  For the office, this top pairs perfectly with a pink or coral pencil skirt.  For another casual look, you can pair this top with white jeans which makes the yellow pop even more.

I’m so excited to partner with Jessica of J. Petite today to co-host her blog link up.  If you are a blogger, share your favorite floral outfit post in the link up below, and everyone should definitely peruse the photos below for some gorgeous outfit inspiration.  You can click on any image to head to their blog and see more.
