Instagram Roundup – Summer Outfit Ideas

Happy Friday!! Who is ready for the weekend?!?! It’s been a pretty busy week, so I am definitely ready. Our forecast is a full weekend of rain, so I’m planning to chill indoors, watch Netflix, and catch up on a few blog and home tasks.
Since the official start of Summer is almost here, I wanted to share a few summer outfit ideas from things I have worn recently. All of these outfits were originally posted to Instagram. So if you want to see more outfit of the day inspiration, be sure to follow me over there at @karenkocich. The last pic is from Instastories. I have been playing with posting a few #ootd snaps in there too. Mostly for those days when I don’t have someone to snap a pic for me.
Also for those of you that used to use the LiketoKnow.it service to shop your favorite Instagram posts, you may have noticed a few months ago the email portion of the service stopped working. This was due to changes Facebook and Instagram made to 3rd Party Apps. I was bummed because I loved the ease of liking photos and going through the email every night.
If you still want to be able to receive outfit details from my Instagram posts, you still can just using a few different methods. One – Head to my Shop Instagram page. I have a direct link in my Instagram bio and you can find it here at the top of the page under SHOP, the click Shop Instagram. Click on the picture you are interested in, and all the pieces of my outfit will pop up. You can also find info from things posted to Instastories here too.
The second option is to use the LiketoKnow.it app. You can find me under my Instagram handle KARENKOCICH. If you screenshot photos, they will load the info in the app for you. Personally, I rarely use this part of the service. I usually save the photos in IG that I want info on and then search for them in the app later. In the app, I also follow a few of my favorite bloggers too. I love this feature because they have no algorithm so I see all the posts in real time. One of their newest features is to wish list your items, so you can come back to them later. I have been using that feature quite a bit lately.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and drop your Instagram handle in the comments. I always love finding new fashion inspiration to follow!

Dressy Casual Summer Outfit





Hello!! Did you catch my post over the weekend? I rounded up some of the best summer wedges. If you missed it, you can check it out here. I had a fun weekend filled with relaxing on Saturday and hanging out with friends on Sunday.
We are definitely moving into the heart of summer and that summer heat. When planning outfits, I always try to take the heat into consideration. I love this lightweight striped tank for those hot days. It’s a stretchy, breathable material. It comes in a few other prints and colors, but I’m a sucker for the stripes, especially to pair with white jeans.
Remember those floral shoes I mentioned picking up during the Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale, well here they are!! (And Currently marked down even more!) I’m so in love with subtle feminine floral print, the delicate strap and knot design, and the mule style. These heels have a slightly lower heel than I normally wear, but I love this for outdoor summer parties. The stripes and floral pair perfectly together to create the perfect dressy casual summer outfit to survive an outdoor party.
Thanks for stopping by and reading!

SHOP THE LOOK
Ruffle Off the Shoulder Top





Hello Ladies! How was your weekend? I took full advantage of the extra long weekend to shop, soak in some sun, catch up on blog work, and hang out with friends. I crammed in as much fun as possible. My favorite sale purchase is probably these shoes. They are perfect for Spring and Summer! I love the slightly lower than my normal heel on them to wear to outdoor events.
My off the shoulder love continues with this striped ruffle top. The stripes on this are navy and white, sometimes they look black depending on the lighting. I love this top for date night, happy hour, or girls’ night out. I wore this ruffle off the shoulder top out a few weeks ago with distressed jeans (seen here) for a casual happy hour with my girlfriends. I love that it can be easily dressed up or down. Also, it looks gorgeous with white jeans for a dressy daytime look. It also comes with a strap to wrap around the waist, but I prefer it loose and flowy.
Also, these double hoop earrings are my latest jewelry obsession. I have them in constant rotation for both work and weekends. I love the unique double hoop and the delicate simple style. The simplicity makes them work well with so many different outfits. Bonus, these earrings are only $10!
I hope you guys have a great rest of the day. Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to scroll down and check out the Style Link Up for more fabulous outfit inspiration!

SHOP THE LOOK
Black Lace Top + White Jeans





Hello Hello and Happy Friday!! I’m keeping today’s post short and sweet because this has been a busy week for me!
Black and white is a go to for me and spring and summer. It’s an easy yet super chic and sophisticated color combo. If you love all black looks, it’s a great alternative to add in white during the warmer months. I went with a simple pop of color with my Kendra Scott turquoise earrings, but you could also add a colorful heel or bag. This outfit would be perfect for Casual Friday at the office. It would transition perfectly to a post work happy hour. It’s also a cute dressy casual outfit for a weekend dinner or date night.
I love the lace detailing on this top for a pretty feminine touch. This black lace top is also great for work. You can pair it with black ankle pants (seen here) or tuck it into a pencil skirt.
I hope ya’ll have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by!
