Summer Stripes

Banana Republic dress, Bakers heels, Michael Kors watch

Summer dresses are the best in the sense that you can just throw them on and look nice with very little effort. This is a casual cotton dress with a drawstring waist for a little more shape and the nautical stripes are great for the summer as well. I love the quality of this dress since the cotton is so soft and the sleeves are rolled up for an even more effortless look. I tried to dress this casual look up with some heels. These gladiator brown heels are my go to heels for the warmer seasons.

We are back! After a busy birthday and holiday season we are now going to be posting much more.

My outfit seems very reminiscent of a preppy school girl with the headband, pearls and crew neck sweater. It's not a slouchy big sweater that we see everywhere now. It's small and fitted and the swallows on the sweater make it girly and sweet. I feel like I am more studious and belong in the library. I love wearing these pants because they fit well and are a less casual option than jeans.

Crystal describes her outfit:
"This is my go-to look when I want to be inconspicuous, run to the market, or do some people watching. With my hair pulled up, big shades, and shapeless cardigan I feel incognito but still stylish. My new lace-up booties from Bakers have become my favorite everyday shoe. They are so comfortable, match with everything I own, and still add a good couple of inches to my height :) "

It's definitely starting to feel more like fall, especially in this setting. The leaves are starting to change colors and there's a chill in the air. We decided to post together this week since our outfits were similar for once and we seem to coincidently have a theme of braids. 

I like to put my hair in a braid when I'm having a bad hair day, and what better way to show off your earrings. I keep reaching for this chunky cardigan now that it's cooling down. Its so warm and comfy and I make sure to roll up the sleeves to look casual and effortless. I often times like to take something dressy like a lace dress and dress it down with a casual sweater or shoes. I used to strongly dislike gold and brown accessories but since they are really in style this year, I'm now obsessed with brown leather and gold jewelry. They seem to go well together too. 

Crystal's neutral dress is very sparkly and has a slight metallic feel to it. I see a lot more dresses with interesting backs now and it's a great way to show some skin but not too much. The braided straps make this dress unique as well. Platform heels are an awesome way to add  funkiness to your outfit yet stay feminine. Not to mention adding a good 6 inches to your height!
