Fashion

I’m longing for a vacation. Badly. I know I’m super privileged that the worst part about COVID for me has been the fact that I had to cancel several trips. I’ve chosen not to travel (other than a road trip to San Diego a couple weeks ago) because public health demands it. The best thing I can do to do my part is to stay home, social distance, and severely limit travel.

How are you celebrating the 4th of July this weekend? Since my family is still practicing social distancing as much as possible, we will definitely stay close to home. We’ll probably have a little bbq at our neighborhood park. I was hoping to take my kids to see fireworks this year, but all of the events near me have been canceled. We can still have a fun time at our house with the old fashioned at-home fireworks.

Who’s ready for the 4th of July? How are you going to celebrate this year? And most importantly, what are you wearing? I wanted to share some red and white outfit ideas with you that I think are perfect for the 4th of July!

One of my favorite summer trends is matching two piece sets. I recently ordered a few different matching sets from Shein. If you haven’t shopped at Shein, one of the reasons I love it is because you can try different trends without spending too much. That way, if you only wear it for a season or two, you won’t feel bad about donating it or sticking it in the back of your closet for the next time the trend comes around (and it will).

My name is Stacey, I’m a Millenial(ish), and I’m addicted to TikTok. When I first told my friends and family I joined, they told me I was too old for TikTok. We joked about how ridiculous our older Millenial friends looked doing the savage dance. You know what I’m talking about – your friends who share their TikToks to Instagram and other platforms.

I recently participated in a few zoom interviews for a few different positions. Since they were all via zoom, I didn’t have to worry much about what I was wearing on the lower half. As I wrote in this post about preparing for a video interview, you should focus on how your upper body looks. I chose to wear blouses and blazers for those interviews. But what about your hair? Have you considered how to wear your hair for an interview?

It’s officially white dress season people! I mean, I don’t really buy-into not wearing white before Memorial Day, but a lot of people do. Although, I definitely do tend to break out the white dresses a lot more when it’s summertime. There is something so clean and summery about a crisp white dress. I recently got this new white eyelet dress and I love it! It’s so whimsical and flowy. It feels just perfect for summer.

I got this black and gold dress before COVID happened. I definitely bought it with going out in mind. Its the type of dress I’d wear to a nice dinner, or to a wedding. It’s fancy, but not that fancy. It can definitely be worn for a night out or wedding, but it can also be dressed down for work with a long blazer.

Believe it or not, video interviews are not that new of a concept. I was actually hired via a video interview back in 2011. At the time, the video technology was pretty decent, but it’s definitely come a very long way since then. Today’s video interviews are almost as good as being in person.
