Black Denim Mini Dress
Black Denim Mini Dress
This little black denim mini dress became an instant favorite as soon as I put it on. It’s perfect for looking chic in the summer heat. I love the fit of it. It’s the perfect amount of loose fitting but also structured to not add too much volume. Did ya’ll see that back? It does make it not a bra friendly dress, but the thick denim made that ok for me. The open back helps this dress really beat the heat and let a little breeze in.
I’ve worn this dress so far with flats for running errands and wedges to dress up a bit for brunch/lunch. I’m thinking some booties or brown boots will help transition this dress to fall. A pair of western boots will make this dress perfect for the rodeo or a country concert.
Sizing Notes: I’m wearing this dress in a 2P. I consider it a TTS fit for this brand.

I walked into Target to try on some shorts and walked out with this $20 cutie. I originally spotted this midi dress in black and tucked behind it was the last one of this pink coral color. The added bonus, it was in my size! As soon as I tried on this pink sleeveless midi dress, I was instantly sold and then I realized it had pockets. The good news for ya’ll, this dress is still available online in all size in both pink and black along with a few other colors. Did I mention it’s only $20?!?
This coral pink color is perfect for summer! I added a denim jacket over it the other week which will also be a great way to wear this dress in the spring. This dress would be perfect for the fall season with boots and a denim jacket too. The material is a knit material and is very breathable. I have to stop myself from wearing this every week. I might need to go back and buy the black one so I have an extra to wear.
Sizing Notes: I’m wearing a small in the dress, and sized up a half size in the sandals.

Brown Gingham Top + Black Shorts
Brown Gingham Top + Black Shorts
Every summer I receive requests for more shorts outfits, so ask and you shall receive. My initial thought when I saw this brown gingham top was how perfectly it would pair with a pair of faded black shorts. The embroidered black on the shoulders stands out a bit more with a black bottom. I can also see transitioning this top into fall with black skinny jeans and booties.
The panels with different sized check gingham helps create a slimming illusion which is always a plus. This gingham top has a square neckline which is such a flattering cut. This shirt is the perfect cropped length to pair with shorts this summer. While the arm holes look bigger, they have an lining so this top is bra friendly.
Sizing Notes: I’m wearing an XS in the top. These shorts fit TTS. I linked the same style, but this exact color/distressing is not available this season. Shoes fit TTS.

4th of July Outfit | Red Maxi Dress
4th of July Outfit | Red Maxi Dress
I could not think of a better way to kick off the long 4th of July holiday weekend than with this bold red maxi dress. If you need a holiday outfit idea this weekend, a red maxi dress is a great option! I love the bold red shade of this dress. It has cute detailing like the ruffle straps, faux buttons, and tiered skirt. The straps are also adjustable with a button on the back. This red dress is ever so slightly see through. I honestly didn’t notice until I looked at a photo. I added in a slip underneath just to be safe. On my petite height, this dress is not flat sandals friendly. I paired it with wedge sandals to help it fall to the perfect just above the ground length.
Sizing Notes: I’m wearing an XS. This dress has no zipper and must go on over your head. I would size based on your bust size. It does have smocking on the back to help give a little bit more stretch. The straps have 3 button holes to allow for strap adjustment. I’m wearing the straps on the middle/2nd hole. Sandals fit TTS.
If you are looking for a shorts option for the 4th of July, I shared this blue and white combo last week.
I hope you all have a fabulous holiday weekend! I plan to spend it relaxing, reading, and checking out the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale preview.
