New York and Company Sale of the Season!

Show of hands that can agree this was the summer of weddings!  Do not get me wrong I love a good round of SHOUT, blowing bubbles, struttin out to the floor with all my single lady gals to catch that bouquet is my vibbbbbbe, but making sure you are not doubling down on looks for all weddings can get tricky and hurt that budget girl!

So the best way to make sure you are Instragaming the heck out of everyone’s feed with amazing looks at your best friends wedding is a great sale.  Yes, the Nordstrom sale was out of the this world, but the sale at New York & Co. was prime time amazing. In transitioning to fall the sale section is on point! Here is a peek at the finds that I had, featuring the one on the right for this post, keep reading…

Not only do they always have fair and amazing prices, but I got a deal of buy 1 get one 3 free!  Now as I have said before I didn’t go to math school, but that is a fabulous deal. The sale section was not filled with just your basics, it had an amazing variety of colors, materials, and prints for all shapes and sizes. Having a pretty pretty princess moment in this look that essentuated my curves in the right way with a fit and flare. This style is perfect for getting through the ceremony, from dinner, to the dance floor and maintaining that level of comfort for a full day and feeling fierce!

The Must have Dress from Target!

As you all know I love a dress that can transition from summer to fall flawlessly and the Ava & Viv collection at Target does exactly that! So here are my top 3 reasons why this dress is a must have for any wardrobe, any body type, and any style!

1.  To belt or not to belt…it’s up to you!

Dress can be worn two ways with the jean belt that comes with the dress, without for a shif relaxed style, or pair with another skinny belt that is a bold color such as a red or mint!

2. Looking sweet in the summer and cozy in the fall

Great transition piece that can be worn in the summer like I have featured in the photos below or can be worn in the fall with ankle boots and a military style jacket or light cardigan. The material on this look is light enough so that you are not sweating like a glass of sweet tea and can be layered for the cooler months and still feel comfortable!

3.  For that before 5 crowd and after 5 too!

Can be worn as a day look for brunch with simple sandle flats or can be spiced up for that after 5 life with a pleather jacket and mule heels! Also, this look can be appropriate for all occasions.  With the full coverge in the chest area, but a little slit to spice it up, but not to spicy…like a mild pico de galo, my favorite!

Gimmie that shoulder girl!

Is it so wrong to feel like Jessie Spano or the chacha lady emoji when wearing an off the shoulder top, or is it sooooo right? So excited to highlight with you guys this week on my new obsession with this trend!  As the summer winds down I wanted to make sure I give you guys a double dose of a look that has hit the racks of New York & Co. this season!  If you would have asked me to wear anything off the shoulder I would have been like, “ohhhh ummmm no, my shoulders are in ‘hulk’ mode.”  Even though I can barely even care my laundry basket up the stairs I am no where near hulk strong.  Well since I jumped on the body postitivity train I just had to put my insecurities aside and get on this trend.  Well clearly this trend is a winner since I bought two of this look!  The key to this trend is making sure you are selecting a top with extra stretch in the upper section around the shoulders or else before you know it looks like you are wearing a turtle neck in the 90 degree heat!  The off the shoulder look can also be a great transitional piece from the office to happy hour! Just throw on a blazer over these tops and then take it off for that after 5 gang and you are set to party! #chachaLadyForLife
