30 Maxi Dresses You Need For Spring

Standard Posted on May 16, 2018 by Ali Leave a reply

Hi friend! How are you? If you’re following along on Instagram, you saw that I posted this dress the other day and I was raving about how much I love maxi dresses and jumpsuits because they’re EASY! They’re a one-and-done outfit. They make life so much easier when you’re getting ready in a hurry, or if you’re lazy like I am… (Also, if you missed the post, you can find it here).

So, because of my love of all things easy, I thought the perfect blog post for y’all would be to share a TON of maxi dresses I’m loving for Spring and Summer. Throw a denim jacket on with any of these, sneakers or heels, and you’re DONE. Boom, out of the house in 5 minutes. Nothing better!

My dress is from Nordstrom, and you can shop it directly right here, but note that it runs BIG. I am wearing a small, and honestly I really need like an XS or an XXS. I don’t know why, but it’s gigantic. Ideally I wouldn’t wear this with a bra because it does have a open back, but if I didn’t everyone in Ojai would’ve gotten a free show. So proceed with caution…

Summer Trend: Culottes

Standard Posted on May 7, 2018 by Ali Leave a reply

“Culotte” is such a weird word, isn’t it? Not sure where it came from, or how culottes are different from capri’s, but whatever! If these pants are culottes, then I’m on board. Aren’t they so cute? I stumbled on them when I was shopping at F21 last week and I’ve already worn them a couple of times. That’s when you know you have a winner- when you wear an outfit more than once within the first week or two of getting it, because you’re so excited.

These are linen, which I normally stay FAR away from because the second you sit, stand, bend, move at all, you’re a wrinkled mess. So annoying, but I’ll make the sacrifice if it’s worth it, and these ARE. Plus, they are under $30 so it’s really a win all around.

Apparently this was supposed to be a two-piece set? Definitely didn’t see the top when I was shopping, but I do like it paired with a casual white T and flat sandals. These would also be cute with a pair of wedges or brown stacked heels!

How to style polka dot pants

Standard Posted on May 1, 2018 by Ali Leave a reply

Guys, I have a confession. I’m obsessed with polka dots… In the last two weeks, I’ve purchased multiple items and there are no regrets. Though I have had to stop myself from wearing dots on back to back days! haha

At first, I was a little worried I wouldn’t quite know how to style these pants, but I stayed true to myself and kept it simple. A black top, white sneakers and a wide brim hat keep this style trendy, but it’s not too much. You know? I am curious how these pants would look with a band tee- I think that would be cute too, and a little grungier instead of hipster. What do you think?

I’d also like to state that I think these pants are a bit outside of the box for me, but I’m really into it. So much so that I also picked up a pair of striped culotte pants the other day (coming to the blog soon) and I still want MORE. They’re so freaking comfy and they make a statement with basically zero effort. Easy peasy, people.

How do you feel about the printed pant trend? Are you into it?

The Spring trend you need in your closet: a denim skirt

Standard Posted on March 15, 2018 by Ali Leave a reply

You know what I love? When trends you once loved come back around and are cool again. I mean, it’s kind of true that everything old becomes new again, isn’t it? Just look around at what every retailer is carrying right now- it’s like we traveled back in time to the 90’s. Kind of awesome if you ask me!

One of my favorite trends for this spring is a denim mini skirt (bonus points if it’s distressed). I don’t know about you, but I had a couple denim skirts back when I was in middle school and high school that I loved. A denim skirt is such an easy piece to have in your closet.

For this outfit, I paired my skirt with a bright blue sweater because it was COLD. But in the summer, this skirt will be perfect with a white t-shirt or a tank top. Also…anything I can wear sneakers with is a win for me!
