I still can't believe how hot this summer has been! I haven't had much time to get my legs ready for summer, so I'm spending most of my days in jeans and maxi dresses. Today I stopped by the park in this fun teal leopard print top and tried to enjoy the breeze!   I went with a comfortable pair of jeans that took the look down a notch.   Since this top has a very "open" design, I wore a simple black tank underneath. I wanted to keep the focus of the outfit on the top, so the only jewelry that I wore was a few rings and a small pair of earrings. I straightened my hair to keep things looking classy. I LOVE the open back style of this top, even though I wouldn't wear it by itself. (Maybe 10 years ago I would have.) Still, isn't it super cool (unlike the weather!)? To dress the outfit up, a wore a pair of black heel sandals.  The day was hot, but it was gorgeous! Are you ready for cooler w...

I just love florals. They are so pretty and feminine. So when I decided to wear this floral tank, I wanted to make it stand out. It's already fabulous with its bold colors, but I wanted to really have fun with my outfit.  I found a lovely place in the shade to take some photos. Thankful that this tank is made from lightweight fabric because this heat is out of control! I paired it with some pastel pink jeans and bright blue pumps (loooove these!).   I also pulled out a super fun, colorful handbag I have with floral details.       It was hot, HOT day, but I loved my bold floral look!  Create this look by shopping these pieces:     Mixed Media Tank Top / Button Front Tank  Denim Casual Pants  / Mih Jeans Faux Suede Pumps / Sheila Point Toe Pumps  Flower Shoulder Bag / Flowers Satchel Bag

When I bought this top, I intended to wear it for spring. And since spring is almost over (boo!), I wanted to make sure I didn't leave it hanging in my closet unworn. That's not to say I can't wear it again during the summer, but there's something about wearing a floral print in the spring that just seems perfect. And so, I went into a nearby "forest" and got in touch with nature in my spring floral top. Oh, and I got a new 'do too. Do you like it? I wore the floral top with a pair of dark wash skinny jeans. Since the style of the top is casual, I decided to keep the overall look casual with just a touch of chic. I went with a necklace that shared the color palette with the top, and wore an ivory bandeau underneath. Light layering is great for springtime! In keeping with the overall color scheme, I topped off the look with a pair of nude sandals.

Today was cool & brisk. Perfect for a casual t-shirt, jeans and a fun vest. So I put together this look with a coral tee, dark wash jeans, pearls and heels. I wore two pearl necklaces- a shorter one that drew attention to my neck, and a longer double strand  that hung just below the bust.  The ivory of the pearls brought out the ivory in the animal print vest, which was the focus of the outfit. It added texture, but also kept me cozy and warm!   I topped off the outfit with a pair of shiny black peep toe heels.
