Ahh, summer you are coming to an end and that means we have to say goodbye to the good old off the shoulder look. I have had an extreme amount of OTS pieces invade my closet in these past few months. I love them so much for so many reasons, one they are so comfy and two they look good on everyone with any body type. I have seen so many women with so many different body shapes rock this trend and they all look amazing!
So when I decided to expand my closet with yet another off the shoulder piece I knew that this one was different. The first reason why I adore this OTS top is it a three season dress. What does that mean? Well, it means it can be worn in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. Three seasons and three different ways to style it. The black stripes make it a piece that is easy to transition with a sleeveless vest and booties. The options are literally unlimited when it comes to this little essential. Not to mention the warm weather still here this dress makes for an easy breezy look that is perfect for the on the go kinda girl.
As I said on Monday I am back in class and I am adjusting to the back to school and blogging schedule. However, I am so happy to be back into the regular schedule!
It's summer and that means white jeans obviously replaces the regular plain jane denim jean that we wear, 6 out of the 12 months. For me finding my perfect white Jean was more than a mission. I spent m5Ronths looking, searching and googling the perfect white denim. If you didn't know I am in college and yes I work but this sister is not breaking the bank for white denim. NO WAY! I am a firm believer that in life you don't have to break the bank to get the perfect garment to fit and complement's you.
I know that I have covered white jeans for your body type before but I thought that it was time to update about how I was able to find the perfect pair. Besides it is one of the most frequently asked question, I get on social media and here on the blog. So I decided to come up with tons of budget friendly options that are perfect for any body shape!
First up has to be sizing!
It is so true, sizing in jeans can be so much smaller than your typical jean brand. So I always say go up a size and be cautious of the material that they are made out of. These Loft ones are made out of a blend of cotton and jean. Making them super stretchy. Always keep that in mind especially when you are looking for your body shape.
Fabric!
As stated above you have to think about the fabric a lot of jeans have movable fabric in them and you want to have a pair that is stretchy. Try to find a pair that has 2% lyrca that is for stretch. Also, you want to make sure you find a pair that isn't so see through. No one wants to be showing off their butt in a white pair of jeans.
Cut!
This has to be a no brainer, legit we know there are a million cuts of jeans that go with a million body types. For me, I am a size 0 in my Loft jeans but I usually get a curvy straight cut. Because I am not a stick and I have a natural curve in my body. So if infact you are a curvy girl try to look for a more high rise jean that will elongate your legs and lean out your body. Just as a girl that has an Hourglass should look for a flare jean because it elongates your legs and hides the heavy you might have with your hips.
Look!
When it comes to the white jean there is so many different ways they come. Straight, cut holes etc. Many of times people love holes in their jeans some hate them. So try to find a pair that complement's you and makes you feel comfortable.
Finally Body type
Keep these in mind when shopping for white jeans and just jeans in general:
Hourglass: High waisted and mid rise is your best friend! These will keep you looking thin
Tall: You are lean mean and you have the legs to show it. Lean, more towards long and straight styles. These are perfect to show off those legs. Pear: curvier hips stay away from super tapered jeans and white jeans. Go with a low rise jean they are going to be your best friend. Plus Size: Darker jeans are your BFF, also look for a good straight leg. Boy Figure: for the ladies who have straight up and down figure, you can rock a good pair of mid rise jeans with a slight boot cut. This makes you look like you have a slight siluate! Which is a win win! Petite: Stick with a good pair of slim- cut of jeans. Almost like a pair of skinny jeans!
Can we all take in that this is my first time shooting photos in about two weeks. Y'all have you ever had a super stressful week that prevents you from getting the things you really want to get done. That was me last week, luckily I had the previous week shot about three posts in advance. I was so glad that I was actually prepared for once!
This previous weekend my cousin was married in a beautiful ceremony. In our hometown, it was so beautiful and so warm! Literally Saturday at 4:00 it was 89 and super humid. I'm positive I sweat out the majority of the food and water I had that day. With that being said, I spent the majority of the week on bridesmaid duties that I was so away from my blog and social media! But let me just say I am so excited to be back! And being back to a normal and nonstressful week!
Now onto today's post!
Like I said on Friday I have been obsessing with mules and slide in's they are so big for summer and they are so cute! I also have been linking tons of pairs on my Instagram that are budget friendly and super cute. However, these adorable ones from groupdeals are so darn cute. Not to mention they are under $30 and the perfect color and heel for summer! And let me just say they are comfortable. I spent the majority of my day yesterday in them. They honestly take the cake comfy, cute and stylish! Is there anything really better than that? As for this adorable dress, a few weeks ago I featured it on my Instagram and let me just say it is so cute! Under $20 and perfect to throw on, any shoe will go with this little number. Which adds that versatility to this piece! Yay for versatility!
Are you guys all about versatility this summer? Wishing you all a wonderful start to your week
Flowy dresses and its off the shoulder. SOLD! With summer 6 days away I have been currating and adding pieces to my closet like crazy. And this little off the shoulder number that I picked up at my local chic boutique is no exception. First off it has POCKETS, yes we know how much that is a deciding factor for me. Second the texture of this dress is simply amazing, so soft and so comfy! You feel like you have straight pajamas on and no OTS number. Which if you ask me, thats a good thing!
What I love most about Johnathan Michael's Boutique has to be the variety. They have the best selection of clothes and they are closet staples! Y'all they are pieces that we will keep in our closet for years to come! This dress has to be one of them, the timless color and fabric is something I am obsessed with! And lets not forget it goes with mostly everything! Which is something I love even more!
And lets talk about my new obession Rose Gold! These Kendra scott pieces are my favorite currently! They are so cute and so perfect for summer! The earring studs are perfect touches to any outfit and make such a huge statement! Also I found these gorgeous pieces at Johnathan Michael's Boutique also! Y'all I told you they had a great selection of so many pieces!
Finally I know that you may not live in the Pittsbrugh area and have the opputunity to literally see in person how amazing this adorable boutique is! Thats why I am linking up there instagram for you! SO yo guys can see for yourself!
After taking a break from social media and my blog I am happy to be back to normal! Last week I was on vacation with my family and I just got back on Saturday afternoon. Today is my first day of sophomore year in college and I could not be more excited to longer be the new one on campus! This school year is going to be fantastic because I won't be on campus as much! Instead, I will have more time to work on material and things for my blog! Which was always my goal for the fall semester so I am excited!
As for this dress, I purchased it last summer and fell in love with the color and texture of it! I packed it to wear to the beach and I love how easy and breathable it is. Especially when you are in the South breathable is so important!
