Jacket: Anthropologie // Tee: Urban Outfitters // Jeans: J.Crew (white version) // Sneakers: Dolce Vita // Sunnies: Karen Walker // Bracelet: Gorjana

Even though it has been 90 degrees everyday this week in Dallas, my mind is someplace cooler. I am planning a trip someplace far north of Dallas for the middle of July, and I have started stocking up on casual layers. I found some great pieces on sale, but my favorite is this white bomber jacket from Anthropologie. It is currently on sale for less than $50 (total steal!) and comes in four bright colors. Of course I went for the white bomber, but I love the navy color as well. It fits true to size (I am wearing a small), and it is lightweight enough for spring and summer (well probably not in Texas). I paired the bomber with my favorite tee from Urban Outfitters (wearing a small, it fits loose) and distressed black jeans from J.Crew. These jeans are so comfortable to wear because they stretch well. I also love the cropped and high-waisted fit (wearing size 26 regular). My only complaint about the black jeans is they will pick up lint easily, and I have to ask for a black napkin in restaurants. These jeans also come in white (perfect for summer), and lint does not seem to be as big of an issue on them. My upcoming trip will probably involve quite a bit of walking, so I have been on the hunt for some fun but comfortable shoes. I love the look of platform sneakers, but found that most caused blisters or are just not comfortable. These Dolce Vita sneakers were by far the most comfortable pair I tried on, and they are on sale for less than $100! They come in three colors, but if you have seen any of my athletic shoes, you know I only own white sneakers. These sneakers fit true to size (wearing an 8), and the canvas material is easy to keep clean with a Tide To Go stick which I always carry with me. Shop the entire look below! xoxo

Top: Nordstrom // Jeans: Gap // Shoes: ASOS (similar) // Necklace: Moon & Lola // Sunnies: Karen Walker

It is time for barbecues, crawfish boils, and soaking up the sun with family and friends. I cannot think of anything that pairs better with these things than gingham. With Memorial Day and the Fourth of July right around the corner, it is time to stock up on outfits suitable for the outdoors. This gingham cold shoulder top is 100% cotton and perfect for those 80 degree days. The best part about this top is that it is less than $40! It fits true to size (wearing a small) but runs a little short in length, so you might want to try a size up. I paired the top with my favorite skinny jeans, but it also looks great with distressed denim, white jeans, or a high waisted white skirt. I matched the gingham cold shoulder top with my favorite large monogram necklace from Moon and Lola. I have linked a few versions of this necklace below because they make such great gifts.

Tee: Urban Outfitters // Jeans: Gap // Scarf: Sole Society // Shoes: Marc Fisher // Sunnies: J.Crew

I am all about silk neck scarves, especially when I find a cactus scarf! This light pink and green cactus scarf is from Sole Society and is less than $35. It is the perfect addition to any simple outfit and is great if you love cactus themed things as much as me. I like to pair it with a black dress and denim jacket or a white tee and dark jeans (shown above). If you haven’t noticed this Urban Outfitters tee is my favorite! I own it in seven different colors (whoops) and I wear it multiple times a week. I also love these Marc Fisher flatform shoes, they come in five different colors and are just as easy to walk in as wedges. Shop my favorite tee, flatforms and cactus scarf below! xoxo

Dress: Nordstrom // Shoes: Nordstrom // Sunnies: Karen Walker

In February I shared this flounce midi dress in pink for Valentine’s Day, and now the same flounce midi dress is back in stock and is also available in black and white. I normally do not buy much pink, but I loved the cut and fit of this dress. Naturally when I saw it was available in black and white, I could not get my hands on the black version fast enough! This dress fits loose, so I recommend going a size down (wearing an extra small) to make sure the dress fits in the neck and arms. I love the loose fit for the 80 degree days that are becoming more frequent again here in Dallas. This dress is easy to dress up with wedges or chunky heels, or dress down with a pair of flats. I went with a more casual look by pairing this dress with a pair of pearl studded black slides. These slides are under $70 and come in both black and tan. Of course I picked them because I cannot turn down pearls, but they are so easy to throw on, and pair well with so many outfits. They fit true to size (wearing a size 8) and come in half sizes too. I’ve linked everything you need to get this look below! xoxo
