wiggle room
the always classic sheath or wiggle-dress is an easy go to for just about every body type. the fitted bodice and pencil skirt elongate the leg and {as long as the skirt is not too tight} slims your entire body! notice all the necklines- a great update to this simple silhouette!

mix not match
a great example of {bold} mixed prints done well! the two-tone preppy stripes tone down and modernize the all-over animal print jacket. trying to be too matchy with an all-over animal print can end up looking cheap and like you are trying way too hard-- sorry, sometimes the truth hurts!

{color} navy & pink
a super girly palette to please any gal's feminine side! the preppy combination of navy and hot pink can be modernized with hints of taupe, multiple shades of pink and/or lighter neutrals.

something sure to have caught your eye these last few months-- straw! from handbags to footwear and jewelry, this throw back texture has made quite a statement this summer. multi-colored options {shown & inspired by prada's collection} are a definite favorite!

denim days
denim dresses are not exactly new this season but with the huge variety in silhouettes, you can sure find a new style for your closet! go for a shape & color that can easily be worn with flip flops at the beach and then tights, boots & blazer come fall-- both dresses shown can easily make that seasonal jump!

lace {2} ways
if you think a lace top can't become a closet staple {especially in an off color} think again! these lace t-shirts are extremely versatile & easily transformed from morning, noon & night. paired with bright shorts & a casual tote bag for walking around the city or with toned down pants & bold patterned accessories, this top will be hard to put down!
