Romp Around

Summer is the season of easy, effortless style. At work, everyone jokes that I must have 27 daytime dresses and while it sounds ridiculous, I probably have even more! I just love the ease of styling a dress. You don’t have to stress about a matching top or bottom; in one piece, you have a complete outfit. Therefore, it’s no surprise that I love a good romper. Similarly effortless, it’s a fun alternative to a traditional dress. This lovely little one-and-done number from H&M is undeniably classic and requires very little accessorizing. Great for afternoon lunches or even a warm-weather date night, this piece has me wishing summer would never end!

Well who doesn’t love a four day week? Cheers to this Monday (that’s actually a Tuesday) and the start of what’s to be a quicker than usual week! I spent some time at the beach this past weekend and picked up a few too many freckles while enjoying the warm breeze and salty ocean air. I love this time of year. It’s the start of exciting summer excursions and endless fun!

This outfit is perfect for an afternoon stroll or a lunch date with the girls and it’s definitely got a bit of a New-England vibe to it. I grew up spending my summers in little coastal towns in and around New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts, so the bright colors and oxfords that embody those communities will always appeal to me. I absolutely adore scalloped shorts, they add a little extra femininity to an otherwise plain short and these ones from Loopsway are great because they are also floral (what could be better right?) They’re really comfortable, affordable, and I love the high waist because it gives you so many options for tops. These are an essential for your summer wardrobe. I paired them with a classic lace top that you might remember from this post and added pops of color with my bright Kate Spade bag and some of my favorite bracelets.

I love casual Fridays.

On this breezy April afternoon, I decided to try out my new lace top from Ruche and dress it down a bit with some of my favorite polka-dot jeans from H&M. While it is great to follow the latest trends, its also necessary to pick up a few classic pieces for your wardrobe. This lovely white lace top will certainly be a go-to over the coming months! Oh, and while I love that it’s buttoned up- making it feel slightly sophisticated, the shear back allows just a touch of youthful edge.

Enjoy your weekend!
