Hello Ladies!!  Ya’ll I have been on the market for a cute striped maxi dress for quite some time.  I have tried on a few but most of them have been too long for my petite 5’3 height.  Too say I was excited when I found this striped dress in the petite section of Loft would probably be a slight understatement.  I love the overall slightly loose fit, the length is perfect with both flats and wedges on me, and I love the size of the stripes.  The narrow navy and white stripes gives this dress a fun nautical feel.  The navy stripe is also perfect for styling with my brown wedges and crossbody.  I could not resist adding in my yellow statement earrings to this outfit.

A striped maxi dress like this one will also cross well into early fall with the addition of a denim jacket.  The material on this one is a little heavy.  I probably would not wear it to an outdoor party in our heat, but it would definitely work indoors.

For all my Anthropologie lovers, at the end of today’s post, I am partnering with some other lovely blogger babes to give away an Anthro gift card!  Be sure to scroll down and enter!  Thanks for stopping by, and I hope ya’ll have a great week!

Hello Lovelies!!  Guess who is continuing her bodysuit obsession….  I think this blue striped bodysuit is so cute for summer!!  I styled it with my white skinny jeans and block heel sandals for a cute weekend date night look.  This outfit would also be cute for brunch or a girls’ night out.  You could go more casual with denim shorts and flat sandals.

These yellow statement earrings were the perfect compliment to the blue stripes.  My yellow earrings have been on heavy rotation this summer.  I think I might need to order another yellow pair soon just to mix it up.  I was so unsure when I picked them out how often I would wear them, but they pair well with so much!!  It’s the perfect pop of color against my dark brunette hair.  They are also super lightweight!

I have the busiest week ahead of me!  I’m so glad for my relaxing last weekend to help me prepare for all the things going on this week.  I have a few more summer outfits planned to share with ya’ll before starting the transition into fall outfits.  Our Texas summer lasts sometimes until October, so I’m still over here buying summer things.   I hope you all have a fabulous week ahead!  Check back Friday when I will be sharing a review of my current Fitbit!  See you then!

At the start of summer, I saw so many women wearing these cute button front dresses.  Living in the 100 degree heat of a Texas summer, I  knew I needed one!  I originally wanted a white one, since white is totally having a moment right now.  While searching , I found this gorgeous rose pink button front dress.  I love the earth tone vibe to it.  It gives a fun boho chic style when paired with my suede brown boots and saddle bag.  I added in my bangles and arrowhead white earrings to complete my boho inspired look.

You can change the vibe of this dress with a pair of wedges and a change of the bag.  You could also opt for a simple gold earring to create another cute and casual summer outfit.   This dress is so lightweight and breathable!  It was exactly the dress I needed for an outdoor brunch with friends.  You can also add a cute khaki colored or denim jacket to this look to transition this dress into fall or to wear during Spring.

I have such a low key weekend planned.  July was a pretty busy month for me, so I’m kinda excited to just chill and catch up on blog work.  The rest of August and September is looking to be a busy one too with a trip to New York planned, a friend’s wedding, and my birthday at the end of this month.  I’m definitely going to enjoy this weekend in case I don’t get another slow one for a few months.  I hope whatever you are up to this weekend, you enjoy every moment of it.  Thanks for stopping by this week!

Happy Friday!!!  How’s your week going?  My best friend and I hit up a local Houston pool yesterday to celebrate the start of my birthday month.  It was so fun having girl talk, frozen pool cocktails, and floating around the lazy river.  We both received some much needed sun too!  Today is back to the office before a fun friend filled weekend ahead!  I’m so ready for it!

This weekend is also the end of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, so I have one last NSale Inspired outfit for you.  This navy floral top is part of the sale, and it’s also something you can wear now in the HEAT of summer!  I paired it here with my favorite white skinny jeans.  Y’all I love this white denim so much that this is my second pair of this exact style!  I saw this pair was on sale yesterday too.

Ok back to this top.  I love all the colors in it, and I went with these yellow statement earrings to really draw out the shades of yellow in the top.  You could also pair with red or white earrings and bring those colors out.  The colors in this top make it work well with ALL the jeans colors!  White for Summer and Spring, Gray for Summer, Spring, and fall, Black for Fall, and you could even do a dark blue with brown boots in the fall.   I styled it in my try on session with gray jeans.

If you missed out on any Nordstrom Anniversary Sale items due to being sold out, this weekend is a perfect chance to check back for a restock.  I always find items coming back in stock as people start sending in returns.  Ya’ll have a great weekend and thank you so much for letting me be your Nordstrom sale resource this year!  I hope I was able to help shopping the sale a little easier for you this year!
