Today's Everyday Fashion: Arts and Crafts


I like to call this my "arts and crafts" necklace set. I'm loving the combination so much, I will be repeating it many times this summer with other outfits. I think it is also the name of a trend, and it reminds me of the friendship bracelets that are coming back into style full-force. This necklace is mostly made of cloth, with electric blue rhinestones. It totally looks like something you would make during arts and crafts, and makes me feel like I'm at summer camp all over again! (happy sigh)

My take: I really try not to play favorites with my outfits, but this might be my favorite! (at least for the time being) It's rare when I find an outfit, with flats, that I can wear in the 100 degree heat and still be stylish! How do you stay stylish in the summer heat? Are you a fan of the "arts and crafts" trend?

  1. I think this outfit is super cute. I'm loving the necklaces especially.

    OH and I totally understand the whole problem with trying to dress cute while its ridiculously hot out. I usually just default to shorts, but i think I need to switch things up.


    hope you have a great day :)

  3. I think this is one of my favorite outfits yet! I'm a young busy mom on the go, so I love outfits with flat shoes, yet still stylish and easy to chase a 2 year old in! Thank you!

    Gosh, I still have so much trouble trying to stay "fashionable" when its super hot out...I just end up wanting to wear a plain tank with the lightest-weight shorts I have. Boring! I have better luck in the winter.
