For the Love of Flippy Skirts

Let's have some fun on this Friday eve. I'm talking about stripes and polka dots. A fun way to round out the week and we're doing it with skirts. Flirty, fun, and downright fantastic prints.

Modcloth, Stripe it Lucky Skirt, $44

Oh hello fun. Perfect box pleats, thick monochrome stipe, nothing better.

Shabby Apple, Dorothy Skirt, $72

Have you met Shabby Apple? It's retro, boho, anther, chic, and so many options are under $100. And please check out the tulle on this skirt.

Shoptiques, Freeway High Waisted Striped Skirt, $62

This skirt is a four season one. Pair it with tights in the winter and boots in the fall. Perfect texture for all year round.

Last Call Neiman Marcus, JOA Polka Dot A Line Skirt, $79

Perfectly ladylike. I love this skirt for work or date night.

Sometimes you just want a fun and flippy skirt and let me tell you, these fit the bill. Dots, stripes, a line, circle, you name it, these skirts just work.

Let's Get Waisted

Today's post idea comes from my father. Yes, this blog is a family show. A text from dad this weekend said: "blog idea, belts, the title let's get waisted, ha!" So. Here we go. Some fantastic skinny belts under $50 that will define any maxi dress, shift dress, or cardigan coming into the fall.

Boden, Skinny Belt, $38

I love the contrasting colors with this belt. If you cinch it and then tie the excess you will get that pop of orange.

Dorothy Perkins, White Tassel Skinny Belt, $6

I love this belt with a blousy floral dress. It also comes in tan.

Vince Camuto, Neon Skinny Belt, $24

Who doesn't love a pop of neon? I'd paid this with navy to really wake up an outfit.

Neiman Marcus, Nanette Lepore Loop Leather Skinny Belt, $32

Something different from you average belt and it's designer!

A simple belt can really make all the difference with an outfit. It defines a waistline and it adds a little something extra to your look!

Ankle Party

Everybody loves a good arm party. We know that. It is a well established fact. But what about your ankles. That's right, that naked part between the calf and foot, let's dress it up. I'm not talking about a friendship anklet, I'm talking about cuff sandals. A special type of sandals that treat your ankles like the hard working parts they are.

Mango, Fringe Leather Sandals, $49

Embrace the ankle, ladies. Look at this playful and casual sandal that works so well with shorts or a maxi.

My Habit, Matisse Women's Jacob Flat Sandal, $45

How about this cuff? It comes in two other neutral colors and they are all 50% off.

Nordstrom, Free People Collins, $88

These remind me of the still unclear Birkenstock revival this summer but they have a bit more personality.

Amazon, Vince Camuto Ryker Sandal, $45

This will be such a staple in your closet this summer and for years to come. Sleek and sharp.

Don't leave that ankle bare! Celebrate it with these ankle cuff sandals that add some personality to your flats!

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.
