You’ve heard it before…wearing white after labor day is not allowed. Who created this arbitrary rule away? I personally think it is a dumb rule and most fashion rules are made to be broken. Since we are only a week away, I wanted to tell you that you can and should wearing white after Labor day! There are tons of ways to make wearing white after Labor Day still feel really chic and fashion forward.

One fashion trend that I’m loving right now is wood watches and accessories. Just last week, I noticed two of my co-workers were rocking wood accessories. One guy was wearing these cool wooden sunglasses and another girl had a wood and metal cell phone case.

There are certain styles of clothing, like shift dresses, which I always put into the category: NOT FOR ME. Maybe it’s because I’m in my 30s or maybe its just because I’ve become more confident in my style choices, I’m now more willing to try styles I used to think were not for me. Case in point, this shift dress.

There are a lot of great summer sales happening right now. It is the perfect time to find great pieces you can transition into your fall wardrobe, like maxi dresses. Unlike a lot of summer clothing, maxi dresses are a style you can wear year-round. For one, the full-length adds much-needed coverage for the cooler months, but the light-weight materials are also airy for the warmer months.

On my recent trip to Italy, there was one item I knew I had to take with me. These white sneakers were my travel staple. Why are white sneakers so important? Well, because they literally go with everything.

I am so excited to be chosen as part of the Gal Squad, which is an ambassador program with The Red Door Spas again this year! As part of the program, I get to experience some of their spa services and products and talk about my experience.

I consider myself a fashionista. You will find me searching for (in-store or online) deals almost every weekend. I often find the best deals at resale stores (and resale online). The problem with resale? Well, I often find items that are slightly defective. I’ve definitely purchased things with loose hems, for example. I do know how to sew, but my 1970s (literally) sewing machine is way back in our storage shed.

When you find the perfectly distressed jean jacket, you’ve hit the jackpot. A denim jacket is one of the most versatile pieces you should have in your wardrobe. Jean jackets are cool, classic, and can be edgy if you style them correctly.

One of my favorite fashion trends that had stuck around a few seasons is scallop hems. I just love the frilly detail and I think it looks so cute on dresses and tops. I especially love this purple scallop hem dress because the dropped waist and the shorter length keeps it very playful.
