TALK TO ME

The graphic tee. It's the shirt trend that's having a major moment right now. And while these witty, phrase-lined tops are nothing new, I will say it's easily one of the most versatile pieces in my current closet. There is no right or wrong way to wear it (which is why I love it so much). From ripped skinnies and sneaks to a dressed up blazer and a skirt, these fun tees pair well with just about everything.

For today's outfit, I wore a ruffled gingham skirt with a comfy graphic tee and bow heels. It's the perfect casual-meets-dressy-ish look! I'm into that combo right now. What about you guys? With so many options to choose from, I think it's important to pick a graphic tee that has a message that actually means something to you. For me, this one feels really fitting. I have always been one to look back for a bit too long, to romanticize the past. And this year, it's been a goal of mine to be more present. It's not always easy, but the big red saying on my shirt is a fun (and fashionable) little reminder.

Venice Vibes

The metallic midi skirt. I loved it in the winter, I love it for spring and it's pretty safe to say I'll be wearing it with a tank all the way into summer. It's honestly one of the most versatile pieces I own. It is great dressed up or down, it's on every bloggers LOVE LIST and it's easy to see why. Offering a world of shimmer, this pleated midi creates just enough flash to dress up even your most basic tee (like this comfy one I have on here today) and it looks great with sneakers or sky-high stilettos. Yup, the options are truly endless with this skirt. It is insanely versatile skirt and right now, this one from DressLilly is under $30.

Hope you're all enjoying the long weekend. I am actually working today but I had a great couple of days. I ate Korean BBQ, danced with friends and even caught a few extra zzz's. Doesn't get much better than that, does it?

Off-The-Shoulder Style

June 30, 2016 Kelly Donohue

Summer is in full swing! That means it’s finally acceptable to wear shorts to a lunch meeting and eat ice cream for dinner...at least that’s what I say! I met my friend Courtney the other day and we pretty much did exactly that. We took a stroll along the picturesque little Venice Street, Abbot Kinney, and we ate at Salt & Straw (my new favorite ice cream place) for dinner. Those Christmas songs have got it all wrong— THIS is the most wonderful time of the year!

Oh and one more reason to love summer? The off-the-shoulder silhouette. From beach cover-ups to breezy tops and dresses, this style is EVERYWHERE right now. Flattering for every figure, it has a distinctive summery feel and pairs well with both flats and wedges alike. I got this little blue number from ROMWE just in time for all of my Fourth of July festivities and it was under $20! I just wish I grabbed it in a few more colors.

Cheers to warm nights, sunny days and bare shoulders!
