The Year of the Romper

So can we all agree there is nothing worse than trying to hop on the romper trend and when you find that perfect one online, you order it, open the pretty box, put it on annnnnnnnd it fits like a pair of oshkosh overalls.  Totes looks cute on a todddler, but on a gal in her late twenties…ummmm no.  Well the great news is that I have found the perfect romper from New York and Co.! Bad news, is this look is from last years collection.  For me when trying on rompers they are usually to short, straps arent long enough, or I have an eternal wedgie.

The key for the perfect fit for a romper is all about the material.  Go with a light linen or cotton that has a bit of stretch in the right places. Also when trying on sizes I usually go up a size so that there is a bit of room for comfort in all the right places. For this look I love the pastels mixed with florals for a poolside look or throw a jean jacket on and you are weekend outing ready!

So this week I decided to do a romper challenge and head over to New York and Co. to see what kind of rompers are in season, stay tuned!

Oh this top? Yes, I got it for $5!

A couple things about me 1. I love me a great sale 2. will always try out new trends 3. love making numbered lists so let’s dive in to this weeks post chatting all about number 1 & 2 with my recent trip to my favorite go to shopping place, Target! When popping over to the ladies section I always make a pit stop first at the sale rack.  Since Target has been really bringing it with their collaborations with other amazing brands also increases their sale selection with a great variety of sizes! So the top that I am featuring I found for $5! Yes…$5….cinco dollores…1.2.3.4.5….yes 5! So not only was this sale on point I also dove into the open shoulder look.  My first concern with this trend, can I get a witness from my pale skinned followers out there, that if I wore this top to an outdoor brunch soaking up that Vitamin D will I be walking around with what appears like 2 pancake tanlines on my shoulders?  Sounds delicious, but this look will for sure need to be for certain occasions.  Not saying that you cannnot wear this top for daytime fun, but lather up that sunscreen babes! So what I love about this trend is when I go out to a restaurant or bar I am usually never a comfortable in between in terms of body temperature.  I am either purple in the lips unintentonally or sweating like I ran a half marathon, in a sleeping bag, in heels.  So just showing a little shoulder to get that air flow in and the long sleeve combo gives me the best of both worlds with fashion meeting functionality!

Summer Trend Alert!

When the word tassle comes to mind I think about a horse mane, then my mind takes me back to the first time that I attempted to ride a horse.  In a nutshell let’s just say I definitely did not wear the right jeans to attempt to saddle up, my hair tie broke mid ride, Cinnamon the horse had severe gas issues, and lastly the horse almost attempt to buck me off and escape into the woods leaving me hair tieless in a mess of dirt and distress.  Other than that traumatic flashback I am all about this tassle trend, so giddy up!

I am absolutely in love with these pop of color statement earrings from Target for under $20!  At first, yes the tassle feature can be a bit intimidating just like the horse I was confessing to you all about, but once on and paired with a basic tee it works!  This pair goes perfect with daytime office casual to weekend brunch.

Are you crazy about this up and coming trend that is making a comeback?

Summer Trend Alert- Drop Waist!

The trend this season is most definitely the drop waist!  You can see this look on tops, dresses, tunics, you name it.  First glance at a drop waist it almost appears as if a peplum and a regular top had a love child it would be the drop waist. All jokes aside I am a full supporter of this lil duo!  Before trying my first drop waist top on I was afraid that I was going to look like the cheerleader I once aspired to be in middle school, but unfortunately never made it past first cuts due to my lack of being able to to anything that involved being flexible or coordinated.  Once I slipped this little number on from Target’s Who What Wear collection I did a jump for joy, yes literally in the dressing room, that it number 1 fit in all the right places and number 2 was at an amazing price of under $30! My recommendation to rock the drop waist is all about length.  Tops that have this feature should sit right below your waist, but not to long so that it does not look like you are trying to rock a reallllllllllly short dress unintentionally.  Also choosing a flowy material is perfect so that it can be layered easily with a blazer or casual jean jacket!
