Fashion

Have you found your perfect one piece swimsuit for summer yet? This summer, I decided to try one of the many red swimsuits I’d seen in stores and online. The one I chose is under $40 and totally flattering. It’s my own little Baywatch swimsuit moment.

I recently got these tortoise shell earrings. At the time, I didn’t realize tortoise hoop earrings are majorly on trend for summer. I actually haven’t gotten a pair of tortoise hoops yet, but I do love these gold earrings with a touch of tortoise shell.

When it comes to politics and the state of our world, I often feel like I can’t do much to change things. I think a lot of people feel that way. However, that’s just not right. If every person made small changes, it would lead to bigger changes.

Transitioning from spring to summer fashion can be tricky, depending on where you live. Most days, it’s not quite warm enough for me to wear actual summer clothes. I live fairly close to the beach, so it’s chilly in the morning and also at night. That’s why I’m loving this midi shirt dress because it’s the perfect transition piece.

My son is wrapping up his kindergarten year and my daughter is starting kindergarten next fall. With these major milestones, I figured it’s about time I teach my kids how to tie their shoes. I’d heard about the bunny ear technique, so I honestly thought teaching kids how to tie shoes was going to be a breeze.

Before this year, you never caught me in white denim. I always felt self conscious in white denim because I didn’t think it worked that well for my body type. Having wide hips and cellulite on my thighs, I thought white jeans just accentuated my perceived flaws. What I realized recently is that I just hasn’t found the best white jeans for my frame.

A couple weeks ago, I went shopping for a few new outfits for an upcoming work event. I found this military-inspired, army green utility dress, and I absolutely fell in love with it. I’ve always been into military-inspired pieces. I happen to love the army green color and the extra pockets you often find with this style. I’m also such a sucker for an a-line dress with a belted waist.

Earlier this year, I got my first professional, custom, nail art manicure, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I try to change up my manicure every two to three weeks and I get most of my inspiration from Pinterest and Instagram. I actually found my current spring nail art while looking on my finder on Instagram. It’s the perfect spring manicure because the light pink and the white just look so fresh.

Last fall, I remember seeing a lot of cut out shoulder tops, especially cut out shoulder sweaters and other cold shoulder tops. Initially, I didn’t really love the trend. Like a lot of trends, I think they are cute on other people, but I’m not sure they will work on me. Finally, I decided to give it a try because an adorable cut out shoulder top arrived right to my door. So, I had no reason not to at least try it.
