One Color That Works With Every Outfit

Hello, pretty Ladies,

I hope you enjoyed your Holiday weekend. We had a great weekend at home, with beautiful weather. We worked in our yard and had a BBQ with the kids. I am so grateful for those who have served and have served this great country and some who have made the greatest sacrifices. I feel blessed to come from a long line of those who have served; we are so proud of them. And that we have a day to remember & celebrate our military.

With Memorial Day over, we are kicking off the Summer season, including longer days, warmer weather, outdoor social events, and travel. If you’re like me, you can’t wait to soak it all up.

I am doing a blog hop with my three blogger friends, Dawn, Cindy, and Suzanne, sharing Summer. The theme was anything summer-related, so check out their blog posts today to see what they shared. I have their blogs linked at the end of this post.

Today, I am Sharing One color that works with every outfit: (Cognac, Saddle Brown, or Caramel. There are three names for one color.) It’s a timeless, elegant, and sophisticated color—a true classic. It also works in every season, and summer is one of my favorites.

What should I purchase in this color?

Accessories Are the best place to use this color. Invest in a great handbag. I love this Vegan Tote. I’ve had it for three years and am happy it’s still available. It is my best seller and matches my Tory Burch Miller sandals perfectly. That said, you need a great pair of shoes in the same color. And a belt. I found this pair of Sandals in a major sale.

Three key Accessories

These three essential Accessories will transform all your summer outfits and help you transform the pieces you own in your closet. These three key pieces work with all colors. They help elevate and add polish to your simplest t-shirt and denim, creating a quiet luxury look. I’ve shared a variety of outfits and ways you can style the tote and sandals to give you an idea of the color’s versatility.

Summer Style & Trend

This summer season, accessories made from raffia straw are on trend. Several have been mixed with trim or details in Cognac leather, making for the ultimate summer accessories. I just ordered this Hobo bag by Eric Javits. It’s a classic shape with the perfect intricate crochet raffia straw and Napa leather binding and handles. I found a similar feel but in a classic tote style HERE for a more affordable option, and this Classic Summer tote is another affordable-price point option.

The raffia straw trend, which we see in everything from Earrings to belts, sandals, and bags, is another excellent option for adding a summer flair to your look while working with pieces you might already own in your closet. This is a great and affordable way to update your wardrobe without spending much money. Adding the Cognac trim to the raffia just elevates the acessorires. Below are a few pieces I’ve picked up or are in my cart.

Over 40 Style-Dresses Perfect for Spring Events

Over the years, I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.” —Yves Saint Laurent”

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you’ve had a great week. Can you believe how fast April is just flying by? It seems like It was just April Fools Day, and now we’re almost to the last week. I’ve had so much to want to share with you, but there are not enough hours in the day to get it all done. Today, I hope to do a quick ruffled dress styling for you. I’ve found two fabulous Amazon dresses under $53. These are flattering on every body type and work for many spring and summer events and parties.

Really, with all the occasions to wear dresses in Spring and Summer, these two darling and very affordable dresses could be worn not only as wedding guest dresses but also to Graduations, Mother’s Day brunches, Garden parties, and bridal showers.

HERE

Crushing on Blue

This Calf-length cornflower blue halter-style dress is easy to wear, flattering on every body type, and fits true to size. It’s no secret I’ve been crushing on this color and how stunning it is paired with these bow nude heels, custom-made Coastal Clutch NY bag, and Julie Vos Jewelry.

Perfect styling for a Wedding Guest look, Bridal shower, or Mother’s Day brunch. Change the shoes and accessories to a raffia sandal and clutch for a beautiful resort dinner dress.

Orange One Should Ruffle Dress

This little one-shoulder Orange ruffled dress hits above the knee and has been my best seller. It’s a little flirty and a touch sexy, yet still classy. This dress is great for a night out on the town, a date night, or cocktails with friends. I have styled it with a pop of leopard for a fun, flirty look, but you could easily restyle this number with nude or raffia heels and a clutch for a wedding or vacation look. The gold beaded jewelry by Lisi Lurch is my daily go-to; it is affordable and high-quality. They do not tarnish.
