I’m headed to Puerto Vallarta this week, so I’ve been searching for easy breezy summer clothes. These floral cropped pants fit the bill perfectly. You’ll probably see them all over my Instagram this week.

Last summer, I distinctly remember seeing this black and white striped dress, but they were constantly sold out of my size. I even went to a few different stores to try to find it. They also sold out online too. Then, a couple weeks ago, I saw the dress in the store again. It must have been popular last summer that they brought the exact same dress back for another run this summer.

This giveaway is open to U.S. residents only. Winner will be selected randomly using the rafflecopter website. The winner will be contacted via the email provided during entry. If winner does not claim prize within 48 hours, another person will be randomly selected. Good luck!

For my day job, I work in higher education. Every job I’ve had over the last 15 years started in the summer. It’s the nature of the business I’m in, and that means I’ve had a lot of summer job interviews over the years. Since I’ve had a lot of experience, I thought I’d share my ideas for what to wear for an interview in the summer.

For the longest time, I shied away from wearing shorts and sleeveless tops. I have broad shoulders and broad hips, so I tried to cover up those areas. In the summer, I tended to wear mostly a-line dresses that hit at the knee, or other flowy dresses.

Unless you’ve been hiding under the bed, I bet you know that the Nordstrom anniversary sale is on now. The last week it’s just been for those people with Nordstrom credit cards, but today, the Nordstrom semi annual sale is open to the public.

If you asked me even a couple weeks ago if I’d buy a snake skin print dress, I would have yelled, “ewww, no.” See, I’ve had a bit of a hate-hate relationship with most animal prints, especially in clothing.

I can’t believe it’s already the 4th of July next week. I love the 4th of July. It’s one of my favorite holidays. But I’m not really a stars and stripes-wearing kinda gal. Don’t get me wrong. I’m totally a fan of celebrating our great country and our freedom, but I’m not really into wearing the American flag. However, I still want to get in the holiday spirit, so I found the most subtle way to do it. My current favorite way to get in the patriotic spirit is to wear star earrings.

When you think of summer, you probably don’t think of summer sweater dresses. You’re right, sweaters and summer don’t usually go together. But, I think sweater dresses are great in the summer for a lot of reasons.
