Today's Everyday Fashion: Cherries

Inspiration: Pinterest


Mint + cherry red = I'm loving this fun, retro combination! I used an old shirt to capture the same vibe as my inspiration photo, since I didn't have any actual cherries in my closet. I found some more literal prints in my online search, below, and think they are adorable though. Would you wear a cherry print?

Today's Everyday Fashion: Day to Night

Inspiration: Club Monaco




I re-created my inspiration photo using a pencil skirt first, but then quickly realized I also have shorts this color. I would up loving both outfits - one for the office, the other for a night out - and it's as easy as switching into shorts on your way out the door. :-) What are some of your favorite day to night tricks?

Today's Everyday Fashion: Beach Day





I spent the day on the beach yesterday, and I wore this maxi for dinner afterwards! (Note: I went for nude sandals instead of the ones pictured.) Both this dress and similarly-printed top are recent Old Navy online purchases. Every so often Old Navy knocks one out of the park, and I loved both even more in person than I did online. I'm so excited that warm weather is here and I'll be rocking these pieces all summer long! Which one is your favorite?

Today's Everyday Fashion: Striped Peplum






I did a little experimenting with my new striped peplum top yesterday. I like doing this with new items, before it comes time to actually get dressed. I"m always running late and if I leave it to the last minute, I wind up hating what I'm wearing. This way, I've got a bunch of outfits in mind for this top - I know what bottoms work and what shoes are an option depending on how much walking I have to do!

My first try included navy sailor shorts, but the shorts are too big so they are going back (you can't tell at all from the picture, it's the back view, promise). Next up I went for white bottoms. I love it with both shorts and jeans, and red shoes are fun but I think I like neutral white and brown even better. Which version is your favorite?
