Yellow Ruffle Skirt for the Office
Hello Friends and Happy Weekend!
I just couldn’t wait any longer to share this adorable work outfit. When I originally ordered this yellow ruffle skirt, I pictured it with a striped tee or fitted black top. It arrived in the same package as the purple cami, and when they landed next to each other, I knew they had to be styled together.
Depending on your office dress code, a strappy top like this may not meet the dress code. This outfit combo would also be perfect for a bridal or baby shower, or a summer luncheon. You could also pair a denim jacket, white blazer, or short white cardigan with this outfit to make it more office friendly.
This yellow ruffle skirt is so fun and was a bit of an impulse buy. I went to order more of these strappy camis during a sale, and I fell instantly in love with this print. Yellow and ruffles are both turning into trends this summer too. This skirt is really lightweight and has lots of movement, so it’s going to perfect to wear during the hottest days of summer.
Oh and I double checked and these earrings are officially back in stock in white for those of you who missed out last time I posted them HERE. They are super lightweight and ya’ll white earrings goes with EVERYTHING! If you want a statement earring that you can wear a bunch, I would really look into a white pair.
Alright you guys, thanks for taking some time out of your weekend to swing by. I always appreciate it. Ya’ll have a fabulous rest of your weekend and I will see you back here on Tuesday for a super casual summer outfit.

Pink Cotton Pants under $50 + Link Up
Happy 4th of July!! Have any big plans for today? We celebrated Saturday night with friends and fireworks. It was fun and the guys got all the firework popping out of their system for another year.
I have been searching for a comfy pair of pink cotton pants for a few months now. My sister raved about these cotton twill ones to me last month. She owns them in multiple colors and loves the fit and that they don’t get baggy. She mentioned she preferred them over jeans when it’s hot because they breath a little better. I feel like when someone buys something in multiple colors, it has to be good. A week later, I ordered these pink ones and an olive pair, because they were under $50 and I had been looking for olive pants too. I wore the olive ones a couple weekends ago to a party, and ya’ll so comfy!! I would agree with everything my sister said about them.
For a size reference, I am wearing a 6 Short. I usually wear a 4/27 in jeans. I’m 5’3 and the short is a little long for what I want. I have them rolled in about an inch in the photos and could probably use a little more with these wedges. I’m planning to have them altered soon, but I always like to wear pants a couple times first to be 100% sure how long I want them. I’ll probably end up doing these just above ankle. Oh and bonus for you guys, all colors of these pants are 40% off today as part of a holiday sale, so they are only $27! Total Score!
This plain white tee is the same one I wore in this post a few weeks back. I love a white and pink combo for summer, and of course I’m always cold inside so a denim jacket was an instant add on. I made sure to snap a pic without the jacket so you can see why I love this top. Not sheer or see through, no need to wear anything underneath but a bra. I love this for hot summer days when you just want to wear a plain white tee.
So I’m going to be playing around with the layouts of my posts for the next few ones. I just want to try something new, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on it. Love or Hate where I have moved info too?? Shoot me an email at ladyinvioletblog@gmail.com and let me know. I want to be sure you can still easily and quickly find everything you need in each post. Thanks for spending a bit of your holiday with me and be sure to scroll on down because it is also Style File Link up day!!! Can’t wait to see what you share!

Happy Friday!! I’m so excited because after today, I will be on a LONG 4 day weekend!! It’s going to be filled with a good mix of celebrating and relaxing. I can’t wait. A few weeks ago, the hubs and I made our own little 3 day weekend and headed down to Galveston, TX. It’s just about an hour south of Houston. I love living so close to a beach vacation spot. It’s perfect for weekend getaways.
Today’s outfit was inspired by and shot on our trip. Planning outfits for a beach vacation can be easy, swimsuits and a couple sundresses, but what about what to wear on a vacation date night? I always pack a simple cute top and my white jeans when we head down to the beach. It’s an easy ensemble that also looks nice in case you decide to eat at a no shorts, no flip flops restaurant. Classic black and white always looks a bit dressier and sophisticated chic. Toss on a few gold accessories and you are ready to go!
If you wanted to stay away from heels while on vacation, you could also pair this with wedge sandals or a nicer flat sandal like this one or this one. Even a basic flat with a cute little pop of leopard would work with this look.
Ya’ll I’m OBSESSED with this black strappy cami. I have been searching for the perfect fitting cami for years that was also affordable. I can wear a normal strapless bra with this one and it doesn’t show, It’s not too loose so when I bend over everything is not on display, but it’s also not too tight either which is nice for overindulging or a bad sunburn. Plus, I like the length of it. I decided to go with an XS because I’m a bit smaller up top, and I find that fit my size just right. I’m so in love, I ordered the red and purple too when they were on sale this week. 🙂 PS – All 3 colors are still on sale too!!
I hope you all have a fabulous and safe 4th of July weekend! Thanks so much for taking a bit of time out of your day to read this little old blog of mine. I really do appreciate it and all your sweet comments so much!

Spring and Summer Wardrobe Staples
White Tunic | Blue Skinny Jeans | Neutral Wedge Sandals | Brown Tote Bag | Rayne Necklace in Magenta | c/o Feather Earrings | Pave Links Bracelet | Mika Necklace | Rayban Erika Sunglasses | Nails: Essie Minimalistic
Hello from Galveston! We drove up last night and plan to hit up a couple hot spots this morning before all the weekenders arrive, and then relax on the beach all afternoon. I am so ready for this mini-vacation.
I wanted to share a few of my spring and summer wardrobe staples today. Wardrobe staples are the base of any great closet. They are the pieces that can be mixed and matched into a multitude of outfits all season long. A great pair of non-distressed jeans is key to any wardrobe really year round. For spring and summer, I like the mid-blue shade for a lighter look. I also keep a few pairs unaltered so I can create a cute cuffed look. The cuff looks cute with wedges, sneakers, and flat sandals.
A great neutral wedge sandal is must have shoe for spring and summer. I try to find one in a shade that will mix with both cool and warm color tones. Versatility from the sandal design is also important. I want a wedge that will work with dresses, jeans, and shorts. I find a design that has either a slight or deep dip in the front best for this range. The ones featured are a good example of a deep dip with the addition of laces around the ankle.
A basic white blouse is another wardrobe staple that is really great year round. You can layer with it in the fall, and this season use it as a backdrop for all the fun and colorful statement jewelry available. I also like white because it keeps you a bit cooler.
My brown and black tote bag is easily one of my best bag purchases. A good sized tote bag is great for days when you need to carry all the things. A reversible one is also perfect because you can pick the color that works best with your outfit for the day.
Summer time also often means vacation time and having these wardrobe staples can also help you pack lighter. You can carry the same bag, re-wear the jeans and wedges, and even remix a white blouse into casual and dressy looks. What are some of your spring and summer wardrobe staples?
Ya’ll have a good weekend. I am going to go get my sun on!
