Combo Trends

Today's post idea is a good one. It combines two fantastic summer trends and makes for a ridiculously easy outfit: off the shoulder chambray.

Dillard's, Copper Key Off the Shoulder Ruffle Chambray Romper, $49

There is so much adorableness going on in this look. The detail on the short hem, the ruffle collar. I love it.

Saks Fifth Avenue, Lucca Couture Chambray Off the Shoulder Top, $39

Something a little dressier? Why not when it's under forty bucks!

Nordstrom, JCrew Tie Waist Chambray Off the Shoulder Dress, $98

Need to get out the door in a hurry on a Saturday? I give you this dress.

Loft, Chambray Tie Off the Shoulder Top, $49

So simple and fresh. Also has spaghetti straps you can tie on the shoulder if you're not feeling the cold shoulder.

So there you have it, one of the best combo deals for summer.

Brush Your Shoulders Off

Hey there lovebugs,
This weekend went way too quickly, didn't it? Here we are, Monday. Again. It's still summer and it's still warm so I thought we would look at a dress trend that has been quite hot this summer but it keeps you quite cool. The off the shoulder trend is boho chic but for me it can come off a bit swim cover up. What makes this style work for me a bold print. It elevates this trend for day or night.

Asos, Chi Chi London All Over Floral Print, $78

So very Mad Men and I love the pink against the blue.

Shoptiques, Ruby and Jenna Paisley Print Mini Dress, $48

Dress this up with heels and dress it down for daytime with gladiator sandals or espadrilles.

Nordstrom, Sister Jane Maia Ruffle Overlay Dress, $89

A beautiful tangerine color is going to go perfectly with a long delicate necklace for daytime or statement earrings and an updo for night.

Amazon, Minkpink Neon Nature Dress, $79

Garden party, rooftop sangria, casual wedding? Take your pink with this dress.

While some ladies can pull of the the off the shoulder look, I feel frumpy in it, except for these beauties. These options pull together a well cut dress, color, and pattern all in one.

Get Off the Shoulder

Ok lovebugs, I have a confession to make. I don't love the off the shoulder trend. I have no great reason other than, it just doesn't do it for me. That being said, when the weather gets hot. Not just sweating on your way to work hot, but holy crap do I have to leave the house hot, these light, sometimes skimpy, tops are perfect. So let's look at some off the shoulder tops.

Shopbop, Free People Ripple Off the Shoulder Priscilla Top, $78

See what I mean? Think of all the ways you could style this top. Printed soft pants, a sequin mini, jeans, a slim midi skirt, the list goes on. The swing pleats offer just enough movement.

Forever 21, Abstract Dot Off the Shoulder Top, $15

This top is the definition of flounce. Easy, feminine, and fun.

Asos, Villa Off the Shoulder Top, $51

This top is very super model to me. So effortless and so beautiful.

Modcloth, Countless Compliments Top in Navy, $20

You can't beat the price on this top. I love that its a dark navy instead of a harsher black stripe.

Off the shoulder trend can be overly hippie or overly sexy, but you can also find styles that work with the rest of your closet. Look for patterns that you already love or pair a statement necklace with a solid option.
