Fall is right around the corner; back to school has started, and outfit inspirations are beginning to appear over on Instagram.

Update your Summer Wardrobe

1. Oversized button up-

white or stripe for the coastal vibe or bright and colorful. Great to style with shorts, over a tee shirt dress, or worn with linen pants. Every wardrobe needs a good button-up.

2. Linen Pants –

(Old Navy & Target have great $20-25 ones) Linen is a Classic Summer staple. With so many ways to style with ease, perfect pants forTravel as well!

3. Straw/Raffia-

A great way to add texture to your outfit. Whether a hat or a bag, this gives your look that Summer vibe! This is also a great way to add in a style that might be trending. You can find either one at all price points, and I am sharing a couple from Amazon, Walmart, and Nordstrom.

Hats

Bags

4. Nude Sandals-

A great nude sandal is always a classic wardrobe builder but is also fun to add to a trending style. Sides, braided, and transparent looks are trending, which gives a great update to your wardrobe.

Have you noticed every summer that there’s a certain print you see a ton of for that season! It’s a great tip to pick up a dress in that Seasons “It pattern.”

Instant wardrobe update, easy and fun to wear, and you can grab an affordable dress at H&M, Target, and Walmart, an excellent Style tip for shopping seasonal trendy pieces.

7. Bangles-

I love Arm candy or a great bracelet stack. Whether you love color, beads, or gold, adding an excellent bracelet stack adds texture and looks pretty on your wrist with the shorter summer season tops, Tanks, and dresses. This Amazon set is a deal… set of 4

4 Summer Dresses From Amazon Any Age Could Wear

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Summer is finally here, and I have styled 4 Summer Dresses From Amazon Any Age Could Wear. Four affordable and easy-to-wear dresses you’ll wear all summer long. I don’t know about you, but I love a dress I can wear with just sandals or dress it up a bit with accessories. Summer is all about easy wear and effortless style.

Not only is it easy to style and easy to wear, a factor for summer, but so is a dress you can wear at any age. If you have been following me for a while, I don’t put an age on style. Style is truly what you feel good in. But, these four dresses from Amazon do work for any age. It’s all in how you style them.

Cream Tank 3 Tired Dress

A cream cami strap dress for $24.99 that hits at the knee, is a great basic dress any body type could wear along with any age. I love its almost linen feel, Hides a tummy if you have one and can be worn with or without a little jacket. I’ve styled it with my favorite sandals & bag this summer.

Shop The Look Below:

Lace and Cold Should Tee Shirt Dress

Everyone needs a new little black dress for $25.99 for the summer, and this tee shirt style, cold shoulder, and detailed lace dress is perfect. Another easy-to-wear fits all body types and ages. It hits right above the knee (reminder, I am 5’9 1/2), perfect to wear over a swimsuit or dress it up for a summer date night or lunch with the girls.

I’ve paired it with neutral accessories, a straw bag, and strap sandals, but you could easily pair it with a pop of color for a different Summer vibe.

Shop the photos Below:

Floral Printed Cold Shoulder Dress

Cold Shoulder Dress with tassel details, flowy ruffled sleeve detail also hits above the knee. A deal at $28.99, Easy fabric to wear, comes in several patterns and colors. It hits at the knee, hides a tummy if you have one, and can be easily styled for vacation or a casual summer day.

I styled this again with neutral accessories to give that beachy vibe. A handmade bamboo bag by Cult Gaia

( more affordable version here) or this cute straw bag, Cute gold chain detail clear & neutral slides $29 and straw neutral hoops.

Shop the Photo Below:

Strapless Dress with Ruffled Hem

Little black strapless dress $19.99. I love a good strapless dress. Strapless dresses are easy to throw on over a swimsuit, and you can quickly wear them from the pool to lunch. This dress is a touch see-thru, so I wore a little slip underneath; not necessary if you wear it for a swimsuit cover-up.

I’ve styled it to wear on a little afternoon date with my hubby—a denim jacket with pearl details for a little more dressed-up feel. I finished off the look with black quilted slides (old). I linked similar HERE. These pearl slides would be adorable, pearl hoop earrings, More affordable hoops here, and a Victoria Emerson cuff.

A touch of chambray or light denim adds to the look. These are all pieces that make this style classic. Keep in mind this is an easy-breezy “beachy” style.

What’s in my Beach Bag

What’s in my Beach Bag

Hello Pretty ladies,

If you caught Wednesday’s Chit chat chic live, you know we shared about our beach bags and what we like to take along with us to the beach, pool, or lake.

Now that the boys are grown, it looks slightly different than the oversized sand-proof totes and all the toys and essentials. The one big plus to midlife is you only have to take what you want/need and maybe think of my hubby. So with that said, I am sharing items I have taken in my bag on vacation.

The Beach Bag

This bag from WHBM is now on SALE, and I am telling you, YOU want it! It holds a ton, is sturdy, and oh so fun with its leopard print and large straw tassel.

The Cup

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I am a huge Ice tea and water drinker. And if I am poolside/waterside, I will also have a cocktail… so, yes.. you could find me with three cups at the pool🥤🍹😂Here are the cups we own and take along⬇️

Sun Hat

You know I am a hat girl✔️, And I have some favorite Summer hats I wear year after year. I like they stay on my head and cover my face from the sun. Lack of color and Gigi pip are my go-to brands for styling and excellent quality hats.

The Towel

I am a little picky about my beach/ pool towels. I have always liked having them all match to keep track of them. Also, I Like them oversized and very fluffy. I love the Pottery Barn towels and the classic black and white stripe.

The Suntan lotion

Suntan lotion and browning lotion, I love the Tula suntan lotion for my face, Sun bum for my body, and browning lotion for my legs to help get a golden brown tan.

SunGlasses

Great sunglasses are a must for poolside or beach days, and I love to have a pair of sunglasses that can also serve as readers. Peepers created just that. Two in one. Below are the pairs I have and use.

Books and Tunes

Who doesn’t love a good Summer read and some tunes? I sure do, and below are a few of my past books I’ve loved reading poolside, along with how we listen to some tunes. We love the JBL speaker. It’s waterproof, Bluetooth, and lightweight, which gives off a great sound. Apple eye buds are great if needing to be personal versus music for a group.

Extra’s

Below is a few other bag essentials, I always have In my bag, a face mist by Tula, the Tula I balm, A couple of Coola Suncare products. and my favorite Havana flip-flops.

More Beach Bags

Spanx Shorts Styled 2 Ways

Hello pretty ladies,

Hoping you had a beautiful Mother’s day. I took the day off social media. No Mother’s day tribute to my mom or about being a mom. I love taking the time to do a good tribute and read all of the tributes being posted. But, yesterday, I just wanted to keep my phone put away. I know you, sweet ladies understand that.

I shared these great shorts by Spanx on Saturday over on my Instagram. “Styled two ways.” I realized that would make for a great quick styling blog post. On the go, 6-inch inseam Spanx shorts fit amazing, are a perfect length for moms and midlifers (if you like your legs), are a flattering fit, and are easy to style from casual to date night.

: Casual Style

: Great for Travel

Casual Chic Styling

The casual Chic styling above is perfect for a Chic Casual look
That you can wear almost anywhere… From shopping with the girls, traveling, and brunch, These will definitely be part of my weekly Summer staple ✔️ I love a good stripe shirt and denim jacket look. This has a Parisian feel, with that bit of pop of leopard on the messenger bag strap, adding just a touch of extra print detail.

Shop the Look below:

Spanx isn’t just Shapewear.

Spanx doesn’t just design shapewear anymore. They have a full line of very figure-flattering clothing, from sportswear to dresses. I have been sharing their pieces every season for a while with you as I am a Spanx Partner, which gives me a slight advantage at sharing the Brand New releases just a little bit earlier.

: Spanx Short

Dressed up short, Styling.

Spanx shorts dressed up, this classic black short, is so easy to dress up for a date night, Summer bridal shower, or even a business lunch meeting, depending on how you style them. I wore a fancier top (lace over black bodice top shown here) paired with pearl accessories and a dressier summer sandal. But you could easily wear them with a blazer and heels with a dressy button-up or blouse. The possibilities are truly endless.
