Summer Wedding

Spring is flying by and the summer wedding invitations are pouring in.  Color is definitely A-ok for a summer wedding - your tan skin will look extra fabulous when you dress yourself in a rich hue with neutral accessories.   Take these two looks as inspiration for your summer events:

On the left, a gorgeous,showstopping, color-saturated Anthro maxi skirt.  Because of how amazing this piece is, let it be the standout piece and pair it with a neutral lightweight top. 

Complement the coral with a gorgeous aqua necklace and a few other neutral accessories.  Add some waves to your hair with a curling iron, some shimmer on your cheeks, and you'll have a dreamy, effortless look.

The second outfit is a bit more on par with "normal" wedding attire.  A simple pencil dress will be versatile in your wardrobe (good for work or play, depending on how you accessorize it), so it's a good purchase.  Make this dress a little more "fun" by adding some color in the form of a belt and jewelry.  Since color-blocking is super trendy right now, try another bright color for the belt.  Transition this piece into your everyday wardrobe by adding a jacket for a work-appropriate look.

Fashion Final Four: Butler + UConn

Butler and UConn share the same school colors of navy and blue, so  I created one crisp look for the two.  This look would be perfect for a fan who wants to show her school spirit at the workplace without wearing a dowdy school-logo embroidered polo shirt (plenty of these show up at my workplace with the "casual friday"excuse - my worst nightmare!)

My favorite part of the outfit is definitely the white blazer.  Paired with this geometric print dress, the white blazer looks so fresh, and I especially love the "inverted lapel" detail.

Fashion Final Four: VCU

In our house, if there is a big basketball game going on, it's definitely on our TV.  Boyfriend was a college basketball player and will always love the game, so I try to share his interest and learn about the players and the game.  That way, we can discuss it instead of me just staring blankly at the screen for 2 hours.

Over the past few weeks, I have really, really tried to watch all of the march madness, but I think my brain has absorbed too much bball knowledge and is screaming for help, so today during the UK/UNC game, I got to thinking, "If I was a fan of one of these teams, what would I wear to show my team spirit in a more.... fashionable way?!"

Without further ado, this week I will be giving you a more fashionable option if you happen to be a lucky fan supporting one of the remaining 4 teams.  First up, Virginia Commonwealth!

KGP - What To Wear

Hey guys!  Pleased to let you know that I am featured on Kelly Gorney Photography's blog today with another "What to Wear" guest post.  Kelly is kind enough to let me feature these "What To Wear" posts on her blog every so often - this is a great opportunity to show her clients how different outfits can work together and create a well-blended look for the entire family (no more boring jeans and white shirts for the entire family!!).  I put today's post together with a family of four in mind - head over to her blog now (click here!) and take a look!
