Palm Dress: Topshop for Nordstrom // Jacket: ASOS // Shoes: ASOS //Purse: Kate Spade // Sunglasses: Oscar de la Renta // Earrings: Anthropologie
Last week a colleague of mine described this dress and jacket combo as the “Palm Beach Babe” look. While I was unaware of the “Palm Beach Babe” look, I think I might start embracing it. Recently I have been loving the palm leaf or banana leaf prints mixed with white accents. I found this palm dress at Nordstrom and paired it with my ASOS white shoes and cropped jacket. This look is great for the office in the summer, because it pairs well with or without a jacket. The palm dress can also be dressed down with sandals for a more casual beach look. Shop my favorite palm looks below! xoxo

Happy Fourth of July! I know I usually post Weekend Words of Wisdom on Saturdays, but I thought I would mix it up a little for the holiday. Every year my family spends the fourth of July at our lake house eating endless amount of barbecue and homemade ice cream. Luckily the temperatures are mild enough (at least for a July in Texas) to continue wearing my white jeans. Usually there is not much color in my closet, but I have been making an effort to buy colors other than black and white. This tank from J.Crew is on of my favorites, so naturally I bought it in every color, including black and white. Shop some of my favorite red, white and blue looks below and enjoy celebrating the fourth! xoxo

The rain has finally stopped (at least for a while) in Dallas, and I can finally get back outside. One of my favorite ways to stay active in the summer is walking my golden retriever, Scout. It is nice to take a break from the gym, get some sun, and enjoy the company of my puppy. I never realize how good of an arm workout it is to walk my dog (or in this case have him walk me) until we get back and my arms feel like jello!
I basically live in athletic clothes when I can, but I hate spending a small fortune on clothes I plan to sweat in. I recently discovered Gap’s GapFit line of athletic clothes that they offer at a very reasonable price. I love this mesh-stripe racerback top so much that I ended up buying it in every color. I also love their patterned shorts, because they add to my otherwise boring grey color scheme. I have never owned a pair of tennis shoes that were not white, maybe some day I will branch out, but until then I am loving my grey and white Nikes. For more affordable athletic clothes, check out Athlea, Fabletics, H&M, and GapFit. xoxo

Dress: Watercolor Maxi Dress // Shoes: Jack Rogers // Earrings: Tory Burch // Bracelet: Kate Spade // Sunglasses: Oscar de la Renta
When I started packing for my trip to Palm Beach, it was hardly 40 degrees in Norman and I could not even image the 80 degree weather I was headed for. My closet at the time was full of sweaters, jeans and boots, nothing that would be appropriate for a week at the beach. Luckily I knew Antique Garden had new arrivals for spring and I found everything I needed for my trip in one place! This watercolor maxi dress was perfect for a day of exploring, including my favorite stop, the Flagler museum.
Top: Athens Crop Top // Shorts: Urban Outfitters // Sunglasses: Oscar de la Renta // Necklace: Kendra Scott
The Athens Crop Top (only $29) from Antique Garden was perfect for Cardinals spring training and an afternoon of exploring the marinas. It looked great paired with denim shorts during the day and jeans later in the evening for dinner.
Top: Beverly Beach Top // Shorts: Wrap Shorts // Shoes: Vince (similar, similar)// Bag: Kate Spade // Sunglasses: Oscar de la Renta // Earrings: Anthropologie // Bracelet: Kate Spade
The Beverly Beach Top (only $30) and Wrap Shorts (only $28) from Antique Garden were perfect for a day of shopping and exploring Worth Avenue. The shorts look like a skirt from the front, but are so much more comfortable than a skirt. They reminded me of the skorts I use to wear with ease in elementary school. The Beverly Beach Top paired with the shorts perfectly because it is a little shorter. I love the color of this top, probably because it matched the clear blue ocean so well.
Antique Garden has a wide selection of affordable dresses, tops and shorts to help you transition your closet into spring. If you are not in the Norman area, you can still shop their selection online at www.shopagstyle.com. Keep up to date with their new arrivals on Instagram @shopagstyle. xoxo
