Golden Girl

This morning at church, Mrs. Bynum was stepping out in serious Summer Style. She is always pressed put together, even if she is just going to the grocery store. Blanche, Dorothy, Rose, and Sophia would be proud... Thank you for being a friend.

OUTFIT Bynum is the quint essential Golden Girl, complete with palm frond pants, linen jacket and a starfish necklace. Her pink straw tote and matching sandals completes the look.

Summer Sizzle

Turn up the heat with an animal print dress. A red top paired with a zebra print bottom creates balance and drama... perfect for a date night out.

OUTFIT Here’s a trick to stretch your wardrobe and create new looks: wear a cardigan or blouse over a dress and you’ve got a skirt! (like I’ve done here) Cinch your waist with a wide stretch belt to create curves.

Keep Your Cool

Linen is light and breezy. This linen tunic is so comfortable and covered, great for the office. With temps in the 90s and the heat index in the 100s, keep your cool in linen.

OUTFIT This linen tunic was a great find. The cut and fabric keep me nice and cool. The pattern and detailing around the neckline and arms is a nice touch. Looks great with off white jeans and flats.

Minimalist

More is More. Unless your a Minimalist, then Less is More. I’ve noticed lots of fashion bloggers experimenting with capsule wardrobes. Narrowing down your wardrobe to the basics and relying on versitale pieces for the entire season. Here is one worth checking out... un-fancy.com

OUTFIT Inspired by the simple looks of Minimalism fashion, this all black outfit is just your basic tee and shorts. Invest in a matching handbag and shoes that will go with anything. No jewelry, no makeup for an ultra fresh vibe.

Pretty Pastels

This pink leather jacket has been hanging in my friend Bynum’s closet for a while. She couldn't wear it anymore and wanted it to go to a good home. She gave it to me, knowing I could style it and get some use out of it. Love the feel of the soft leather.

OUTFIT The soft color of the jacket goes great with these mint blue pants. A white shirt and a nude heel finishes the look. What a great jacket for my wardrobe—thanks Bynum.
