Cut Me A Piece

How about this Monday? Last week of June already! I have not been wearing my summer sundresses and rompers as much as I want to, and it is prime time for them. A combo trend that I'm loving right now is the cutout jumpsuit. It's perfect for those hot and humid Saturdays and you can dress thump or down.

South Moon Under, Moon & Sky Cutout Jumpsuit, $98

Talk about easy breezy. I love the v-neck with the diagonal steps.

Asos, Oh My Love High Neck Wrap Cut Out Romper, $38

Dress this up with some killer sandals for date night. Comfort and style.

Mango, Cut Out Detail Jumpsuit, $29

Summery and sweet yellow in an effortless one piece. Pair this with espadrilles for a girly brunch.

Modcloth, Cafe Character Jumpsuit, $54

How fun is this jumpsuit? Denim without looking western.

Who needs to build a whole outfit on the weekend when you can pull on a one piece and go!

When Life Gives You Lemons

Happy Monday, lovebugs. I hope you had a lovely weekend. Here we are mid-April and the weather is pointing towards warm with a side of happy. And even though it's Monday, I thought we would make lemonade out of it. That's right, how about a lemon print on this sweet Monday?

Modcloth, Bubbly Buddy Knit Dress, $59

A great allover print with some special details like a scoop neckline, keyhole peek, and cap sleeves.

QVC, C. Wonder Lemon Slice Pendant, $39

This would look amazing with a denim jacket or a white eyelet dress.

TJMaxx, Short Sleeve Lemon Print Top, $16

For under $20, you're going to get a ton of wear out of this top. Work or play, it's a great option.

Nordstrom, JCrew Lemon Tree Earrings, $58

So fun and colorful. Ok, even tropical.

Sure, it's Monday, and maybe you've got some lemons. So make lemonade, or buy something with lemons on it. Either way, smile.

Guest Post: Get Back on the Horse

Hi everyone! I’m Heather, Kelsey’s BFF from middle school (yeah, we’re getting old), filling in while Kelsey sleeps for a few days in wedded bliss.

While Kelsey is bringing the fabulous to DC, I live in Memphis. And while DC is nice and snowy this time of year, it’s been in the 60s half of January here. And then it drops 30 degrees. In these uncertain times, my go-to outfit is riding boots and a long-sleeved dress. Here are some of my current faves.

DSW, Unisa Tereza Riding Boot, $69.95

My go-to boot style - they literally go with EVERYTHING.

H&M, Wrap-front Dress, $24.99

I love a great print - why wear solids when you can have so much more fun?

Modcloth, Fresh Air to Spare Long Sleeve Dress, $39.99

Obsessed. The fit is spectacular and that print is to die for.

Old Navy, Crepe Swing Dress, $19.99

I could (and do) wear florals year-round - it’s never too cold for flowers!

Modcloth, Do You Coffee? Shirt Dress, $69.99

Again with the florals - and this one has the added bonus of being green and white for this KD.

This look is great for a business-casual office like mine, and then for going straight to happy hour. And keeps you warm but not overly toasty on those crazy weather days!

T Birds

Let's play with a comfortable flat that is anything but plain. The t strap flat. It's got some personality. More playful than a ballet flat and more girly than a slip on sneaker. It's got a great in-between quality that is easy to dress up or down.
