Hello Hello and welcome to Friday! It’s has been a crazy, busy, and fun week.  Work has been really busy which I never really mind because it makes the work day go by faster.  Wednesday night, my boyfriend and I went to a tasting event at McCormick and Schmick’s to sample their new menu.  We ate so much good food that night. I’m now craving their chocolate silk pie!

This weekend is going to be pretty busy too.  I’m heading to the lake on Saturday, and then Sunday I’m hosting a shopping party at Loft.  If you are in the Houston area, I would love for you to stop by on Sunday, so we can meet and talk fashion.  It’s going to be really fun!

Can you believe July is just around the corner? Do you have any 4th of July plans yet?  I’m heading to Colorado with friends.  I’ve never been, so I’m excited to travel somewhere new.  I’m not quite sure what I will be wearing for the 4th, probably going to lean towards pretty casual.  If you are heading somewhere a little dressier, I have the cutest 4th of July outfit idea for you.

This blue and white striped top is a subtle way to dress up for the 4th.  It has the stripes and blue and white, but isn’t too over the top festive.  I love the lace and ruffle details to add a little feminine flair to the look.  I paired it with my white skinny jeans and my taupe block heels sandals for a dressier outfit.  You could pair this top with white shorts and flat sandals or wedges for a dressed down look. If you want to make this look even more festive, you could change out my pink earrings for red ones.

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend, and I hope to see a few of you this Sunday at Loft!

Hello ladies!! How was your weekend?   I had a pretty good one enjoying some yummy Houston restaurants.  Friday night, we headed to one of Houston’s hottest spots, Nancy’s Hustle.  We made the reservations like a month ago, and I was so excited to finally check this place out.  The food was so good, and I definitely plan to go again!  Saturday we enjoyed a healthy lunch and then followed it up with a stop at a chocolate store to keep it balanced. LOL.  We wrapped up the weekend enjoying Mexican food with the family for Father’s Day.  It was a fun and very delicious weekend!

I’m kicking off this week’s posts with a little workwear for you.  I’m loving this mauve and navy color combo. You can also pair this top with a pair of navy cotton shorts for a dressy casual summer day look.  This top is a go to of mine for office clothes, because they usually don’t need to be ironed.  I own some long sleeve versions and decided to pick up this sleeveless blouse version for summer.  It was their perfect piece to pair with my striped a-line skirt.

This full skirt is so cute and fun!  I paired it with a thin striped tank for a friend’s baby shower about a month ago. I really loved the play on stripes.  This skirt pairs perfectly with button down tops for the office.  Because of the fullness of the skirt, I do recommend pairing it with something a little more fitted to keep your proportions balanced.  One thing I like about both of these pieces is that I can continue wearing them in fall and then again next spring.  This top is perfect to layer with cardigans, and the skirt will pair great with fitted sweaters.

I hope you all have a fabulous week ahead!  Also for all my Houston area ladies, I will be hosting an event at Loft in Sugar Land this Sunday evening.  I’ll be sharing summer outfit ideas and helping with a little shopping.  You can get all the info on the Facebook Event page HERE, be sure and RSVP so I know you will be coming.  I hope some of you can make it out, so we can meet and chat fashion for a bit!

How to Style a Denim Skirt

Denim skirts are back ya’ll and back with a vengeance!  The last time I owned a denim skirt was about 10 years ago.  I found denim skirts had faded in popularity and trendiness, so I donated mine.  Fast forward and denim skirts are cool again.  Personally, I could not be more excited about it. I love wearing skirts!  I wear a skirt to work 2-3 times a week.  On weekends, casual skirts are a great alternative to shorts!  I find my denim skirt to be so much more comfortable than shorts some days too.

I wanted to share my main tip on how to style a denim skirt this summer, so you can pull off this trendy item.  My main tip is actually pretty simple and easy – wear it with the same tops you would pair with jean shorts.  Yep, I treat my denim skirt the exact same way I do my shorts from my tops to my shoes.  Fitted tank tops are my top pairing of choice.  You can tuck it in and and on a wedge sandal or flat for a casual day look.  You can also add on a white denim jacket for a more polished look or a flowy kimono for a boho look.   Your top doesn’t have to be fitted.  A few months ago, I paired this skirt with a flowy crop top for a rodeo look.

I purchased this skirt earlier this year, so I linked one that is the same style and brand just a slightly different color.  So, how do you plan to wear your denim skirts this summer?

May Reader Favorite Fashion | Petite Fashion Blogger Lady in Violet

Hello Hello!!  Ya’ll the May Reader Favorites are so good!!  These pieces were definitely some of my favorites from this month too!  We also have an item making it’s THIRD appearance on the favorites list!  It’s been going in and out of stock all week, so hopefully you will find it in stock if you have been eyeing it.  The pink maxi dress was one of my personal favorites of the month.  Partly because I just love the movement my photographer was able to capture of the dress.  It really helped show off how beautiful this dress is in person.

Keep scrolling to see if your favorite made the list this month!

A reminder on how I figure out which items ya’ll loved –

I use an affiliate program called Rewardstyle. If you click on a link from my blog or social media that takes you to a product page on a retailer’s site, Rewardstyle is able to track that your visit to that site originated from me. The Rewardstyle affiliate program pays me a commission per purchase made. Basically, if you click on one of my links and end up making a purchase, I earn a small commission.

Because I use this service I also have access to certain data analytics. This means I can see and keep track of which items are clicked on and which lead to a purchase.  I do not see who clicked on the link or what items might have been purchased. For example, if you click on my latest pair of heels and then purchase a new red lipstick too, I will only be able to see that a purchase was made and that the heels link is how you arrived to the retailer’s site.  It’s kind of similar to how a salesperson may earn commission in the store.

I’m a numbers gal, so I love diving into all the data every month.  These analytics allow me to keep track of what ya’ll loved and didn’t so much love.  If I see one item is clicked on and/or purchased more, I might consider sharing a restyle over on Instagram.  These commissions are an easy way for you to support my blog without having to do anything extra and a way for me to cover the variety of expenses that come with running a blog.  So if you have ever made a purchase through one of my links know that I am so grateful for you and your support of my blog.

Now on to your May favorites!
