Fashion

When I noticed the Kardashians rocking biker shorts a couple of seasons ago, I really didn’t think it was a trend I’d get on. Honestly, my thighs have always been an area of my body I try to hide. They are big and they are wide, so I usually opt for flowy a-line dresses or slimming black pants, instead. But this summer I decided it was time to finally try the biker shorts trend. I shared 3 ideas for how to style biker shorts on my TikTok account, so I thought I’d share them here as well.

One of my favorite styles of dresses are midi dresses. I personally find the length very flattering and sexy. I often talk about how less can be more. There is no need to show your entire body off to be sexy. You can be sexy by dressing more subtly. That’s why I love this polka dot midi dress so much. I think it’s super sexy, but also very covered.

I love wrap dresses. Of any cut of dress, wrap dresses are the most flattering on me. A quality wrap dress is one of my wardrobe staples, especially in the summer. I own a black jersey one with a giant beige palm leaves print that I’ve owned for at least 5 years, if not closer to a decade.

When I started Posh in Progress back in 2013, I wanted to share my love of fashion, but also make it affordable. I do believe in buying high-end pieces from time to time. Personally, I think there is value in having quality pieces. However, a lot of the time, you can find completely affordable pieces that look just like name brand items, at a much more affordable price tag.

When I saw this colorblock high low dress, I was fairly confident it wouldn’t look that cute on me. But, I had to try it anyway, because I really loved the ruffle shoulders, high-low hem detail, and the interesting color choices in the colorblock. Since I ordered it online, I didn’t feel that much pressure about whether it would work for me. I order things online all the time, and I return probably 90% of the items.

As I dug through the archives, I was shocked to find I haven’t posted about a denim jacket since 2015 when I came back from Italy! It’s shocking to me, because in my wardrobe, denim jackets are a staple. Right before quarantine started, I found this tie dye denim jacket, and I’m so glad I have it in my jacket collection.

Dresses are my thing. I love wearing dresses because they are so comfortable, feminine, and generally figure-flattering. Empire waist dresses are usually hit or miss for me, but sometimes they hit just right. This red floral empire waist dress is perfect for my frame, so I wanted to talk about how to choose and style empire waist dresses.

I found this dress at Target the other day and I quickly knew I needed it. I love the stirred, stretchy bodice and the ties at the shoulders. It’s super lightweight and so easy to throw on over a swimsuit or a grocery store run. Because I love this one so much (and it’s unsurprisingly sold out), I thought I’d share some other great black floral dresses with you.

There are certain dresses that are so good you have to buy two. I literally got this white floral dress in two colors, including navy floral because it’s so good. Its the perfect summer dress, and priced right, so I got two. When I first saw this white floral off the shoulder dress, I especially fell for the cutout lace detail at the waistline. Next, I noticed the price. This dress is under $20 dollars!
