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.

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.
