Long Linen Cardigan

Cardigan: Nordstrom // Tank: J.Crew // Jeans: J.Crew // Shoes: Banana Republic (similar) // Clutch: Rebecca Minkoff // Earrings: BaubleBar // Sunnies: Karen Walker

The past two week have been a bit of a whirlwind starting with a trip to Maine (recap coming soon), and then my birthday. Now that I am back in Dallas and have some free time, I am finally catching up and sharing my new favorite long linen cardigan. Before our trip, Alex and I had a weekday date on Greenville to try Toasted, which was absolutely delicious! I like dressing up a little for our dates but also wanted to be comfortable, so I took one of my comfortable outfits and dressed it up with heels and accessories.

This long linen cardigan from Nordstrom is a great transition piece for spring and fall. It layers well with tanks, tees, dresses, and comes in five versatile colors (I have it in black too, of course). While linen is perfect for spring through fall, it isn’t warm enough for winter months. Luckily Nordstrom carries a cashmere version of this cardigan, and it happens to be a part of their Anniversary Sale which ends on August 6th. I have already stocked up on a few colors in the cashmere as well (whoops!). Both the linen and cashmere versions fit true to size (wearing a small) and can easily be worn as long sleeved or pushed up to three quarter sleeved. For date night I layered the cardigan over a silk tank from J.Crew and my favorite distressed white jeans also from J.Crew. The tank fits true to size (wearing a 0) and it comes in multiple colors and patterns. I shared these jeans a while ago and love them in both black and white (wearing 26 regular). I dressed up this basic look with strappy heels (similar), a timeless Rebecca Minkoff clutch, and fun tassel earrings. Shop this look below and if you find yourself on Greenville, be sure to try Toasted! xoxo

Flounce Midi Dress

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

Casual Transition Dress

edited-3610 edited-3627 edited-3630 edited-3643

Dress: y&i boutique // Bralette: Free People // Sweater: Gap // Bootie: Steve Madden // Earrings: Anthropologie

It is finally starting to feel like fall in Dallas, but this transition weather is difficult to dress for. In the mornings and evenings it feels like fall, but in the afternoon the temperatures reach into the 80s. This casual transition dress from y&i is perfect to layer with a cardigan for cooler mornings and evening, and still looks great with booties when you take off the cardigan in the afternoons. The deep red/maroon color of this dress is perfect for fall when paired with black and brown, or spring when paired with lighter colors. xoxo

Fringe

Tank: y&i // Bralette: y&i // Shorts: y&i // Shoes: Steve Madden // Necklace: y&i // Bracelet and Ring: Kendra Scott // Earrings: Anthropologie

Fringe has been showing up everywhere for fall and I am loving it. My fringe obsession really started after purchasing a white fringe jacket at Neiman Marcus and these booties at Nordstrom. Last week I visited y&i and the first thing I noticed when I walked in the door was a pair of suede fringe shorts. I normally would not go for the edgy shorts, but I knew they would go so well with my new booties from Nordstrom. I paired the shorts with an oversized white tank, black lace bralette, and gold jewelry. This look is perfect for the awkward transition weather from summer to fall and the suede shorts were extremely comfortable and easy to move in. Shop y&i online or in West Village (Dallas) for these shorts in more colors as well as other fringe looks! xoxo
