Maxi dresses and sneakers are the perfect #OOTD for spring and summer. For me, this is a perfect weekend outfit combo. You can either dress up your sneakers or dress down your maxi dress. Either way, you’ll be chic this spring and summer. These care-free looks are perfect for a chilly spring or summer morning. Any of these dresses can easily transition from day to night. Style a boho chic or a jersey knit maxi dress with cool white trainers. Adding a jacket or slouchy blazer amps up your style for day or night. Pair your black sneakers with a […]
Dress Form Outfit: My “Thrift Shop” Drop Waist Dress
I have been looking for a drop waist dress for years – one that I not only liked, but one that fit and was comfortable. This Breton striped drop waist dress is perfect. I purchased this dress a few weeks ago at one of the Goodwill thrift stores in Knoxville, Tenn. This Old Navy dress was only $4! Talk about a bargain find! I paired this dress with my Born sandals {which I purchased this past March at the StateMint Style consignment sale}, but I would also wear a pair of white sneakers with this dress.

Man of Style: Rob Lowe

The New 2-Piece Power Suit
Power suits of the 70s and 80s were boxy and included shoulder pads {very reminiscent of Bianca Jagger}. They conveyed a woman’s confidence, her power, and sometimes, her sexiness. But today’s power suits are somehow more stylish, and yet, some still give off a retro vibe, a la Kaia Gerber. {Not to take anything away from the amazing styling of Biana Jagger}. I actually like the matchy-matchy vibes of a coordinated blazer with trousers, but what I really love – especially as summer approaches – is the short suit. In fact, you could rock a blazer {any color, style, or […]
