Styled 3 Ways: Black Tank Top
Happy Friday! Welcome to this month’s Styled 3 Ways. Since we are heading into summer, I wanted to share one of my summer staples – the black tank top. I own about 3 different black tank tops. These tops are great for layering during cooler months, and pairing with skirts, shorts, and jeans for warmer months.
I picked up this black tank top from Amazon. It comes in a 2 pack, so I order the black/striped combo. I love the overall fit on these. The straps are nice and wide to hide bra straps, and the front is not too low cut. In addition to wearing these out and about, I also love wearing them around the house as cozy loungewear.
For these 3 way posts, I thought it would be fun to be sure and give you not just 3 outfits, but 3 different occasions too. This month, I went with the 3 most needed – work, casual, and a night out. I hope you enjoy checking out these three ways to wear a black tank top.

Summer Handbags under $100

WOVEN & STRAW: circle | crossbody | tote
BACKPACKS: pink | brown | gray
The last accessory I add to every outfit I put together is a handbag. Some bags are meant to add a statement factor to my outfit, others for their function based on where I am headed, and some to create a neutral point to balance a bold and colorful look. For most of fall and winter, I carry the same couple of bags. Once spring and summer hits, I love bringing out all the handbags! I rounded up a few of my favorite summer handbags under $100 for you and maybe for me too. 😉 I hit multiple needs from trendy statement makers to functional bags perfect for travel and errand running to cute neutrals that will let your outfit shine.
The straw and woven trend is one of my favorites this season. I picked up this affordable straw bag to also try out the circle trend. It’s perfect to add to your casual outfit and your summer sundresses. I wore my black backpack everywhere during fall and winter, and I would love to get a summerier one this season. It’s perfect for running errands ands travel.
A crossbody bag is hands down my favorite purse style. It’s perfect for mix and mingle parties so you have free hands for drinks and handshaking, and it works for errands like grocery shopping where you also need use of your hands. I really want to try the belt bag trend because I find the perks to be similar to my crossbody perks.

Wrinkle Free Work Dress
Kicking off this week with a little work wear inspiration for you! I have been wearing so many skirts and dresses to work lately. With warm/hot weather sneaking in, I feel this trend will continue well into summer for me. When shopping for work clothes, I look for a few different things – comfort, washing directions, and does it wrinkle easy.
Most days at work, I sit at my desk working away on my computer. While I like what I wear to be professional and fashionable, I also want to be comfortable. You ever have those morning where you consider wearing your pjs to work because you are too comfy too change. I like having comfy things that are also office friendly, it’s a win-win!
This navy floral dress is so comfy that I want them to make it in more colors! It’s a super soft and thick jersey knit style material. The fit is a shift style, but slightly comes in at the waist to still give a little shape. It’s probably one of my comfiest work dresses! The print and flutter sleeve detail give it a little feminine flair.
My other favorite thing – it’s a wrinkle free work dress! This fabric is one of my favorites to buy clothes in because it rarely needs ironing. Occasionally, I run late in the morning and having a few ready to go work pieces is great on these days.
You can also toss on a denim jacket and flat sandals or wedges with this dress and have a ready to go weekend or casual outfit. Speaking of weekends, how was yours? I celebrated a few birthdays, ate yummy food, and then ended with a relaxing Sunday at home. It was a pretty good mix of fun and relaxation. Hope you all have a wonderful week!

April Reader Favorites
Hello Ladies and Happy May! I get so excited for this month every year! It’s filled with so many birthdays of family of friends, the start of summer and pool season, and our last month to spend outdoors before that Texas HEAT arrives. I have so many fun outfit posts coming for you in May, but first let’s talk about your April favorites!
We definitely have a theme going on of feminine details and whites and neutrals. We also have TWO repeats from last month. Keep scrolling to see if your favorite item made April’s Top 5 Reader Favorites!
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 April favorites!
