casual summer daytime date

how to dress up shorts // summer style // click for outfit details

Even though the weather makes it seem like summer is winding down, I know we’ve still got a few warm days ahead of us. So why take advantage of those with a great pair of shorts? This outfit is dressy enough that you could wear it on a daytime summer date (or day with the girls) but it’s not so dressy that you’d seem overdressed for a regular summer day.

Actually, this is an outfit my sister would probably wear. (Now that I’ve convinced her that shorts are great!) She always manages to look just a little more pulled together than everyone else without really trying. When it comes to dressing well on a average day, she definitely has that down!

how to wear white pants to work

white pants and black accessories perfect for work // click for outfit details // #workwear

I’m not the type of person who really believes in fashion rules like “You can’t wear white after Labor Day.” But just in case you are that type of person, here’s a friendly reminder that you’ve only got a few weeks left to wear those white pants. (Labor Day is early this year.)

If wearing white pants to a picnic isn’t your thing (too much potential for grass stains and ketchup spills) try this option for wearing white pants to put together a chic office look.

casual night out outfit // dark denim, wedges, statement necklace // click for outfit details

Whether it’s a girls’ night out or a date night, sometimes you want to look pulled together without getting too dressed up. This outfit fits the bill perfectly. A statement necklace adds interest to what is basically just jeans and a tank, and if heels aren’t your thing, you can always swap the wedges for a great pair of flats.

a weekend getaway by the water

what to wear on a weekend getaway to the lake or seaside // click for outfit details

I’ve spent the past week at the lake for our annual summer trip, so clearly I got visions of dockside gatherings on my mind. And while our trip is a campout (which equals more swimsuits and sweats than chic outfits) I can imagine wearing this outfit to a getaway involving brunch on the docks and evening strolls by the water.

an outfit that transitions from summer to fall

transition from summer to fall with these seven pieces // click for outfit details

As summer transitions into fall, the changing weather can make dressing tricky. It’s cooler in the mornings but hot in the afternoon. The secret to transitioning your wardrobe as the weather changes is to mix pieces you can layer together. A casual black dress is perfect for warm days, and if it’s cooler in the evenings, top it off with a military jacket. And as the weather starts to cool, you can mix in a pair of jeans to give your summer dresses even more distance.

You know how sometimes you cycle through six different outfit ideas before landing on what you’re going to wear for the day? Today’s post was pretty much like that. I ran through a range of ideas before settling on some comfy, but still stylish, standards.

And what standards they are? A flowy tank, that striped cardigan, and my Georgia necklace! I’m pretty sure I could live in this outfit! (At least for a few days, until I got bored and decided to switch it up.)

Ever since I created my newest jewelry line, I’ve been into pairing bronze necklaces with similarly colored tops. Now, don’t get me wrong. I still love the pop that comes from a great contrasting necklace. But I love how well these necklaces still work on days where you want to be a little more subtle.

In just a few weeks, many of my friends will be converging on Portland for the annual World Domination Summit, a conference for online entrepreneurs and unconventional living. Sadly, I won’t be there, but I was able to help my friend Brigitte plan some of her wardrobe. This is one of the outfits we came up with – it’s casual enough for a conference where the dress code isn’t always super fancy, but has enough style to make you feel good!

how to wear black in summer: seaside sophistication

how to wear black in summer: maxi dress, straw hat, lightweight scarf // click for outfit details

Your summer wardrobe doesn’t have to be all brights and whites if that’s not your style. Truthfully, I love black for summer. There’s something about classic black against tan summer skin that screams sophistication to me, especially in a chic outfit like this. You could even toss this dress on over your favorite swimsuit (black, of course) and effortlessly go from the beach to dinner and drinks and look completely classic and pulled together the entire time.
