Bad Hair Day

Crooks cap, Nordstrom Leather jacket, Freepeople top, Joes Jeans at TJMaxx

We've all experienced a bad hair day probably more than once this year alone ( please tell me I'm not alone in this conundrum). Some days like today not even a high bun or messy ponytail fixes the issue, so that's when dipping into bae's wardrobe works wonders. Pick from one of his snapbacks so you can easily adjust to fit better. I went with neutral colors to compliment the green I was wearing. I'm kind of glad I had a bad hair day today because the Crooks cap added more style to my whole fit! It's funny how things just work themselves out.

Black & White Mini

TJMaxx dress, Marshalls sandals, French Connection for TJMaxx purse, Dior sunglasses 

The week before school started my kids had an opportunity to meet their Principle and check out their classrooms. It was a 100 degrees that night but I didn't want to show up in the same old maxi. When I bought this mini dress I had no intention of ever wearing it without leggings but the heat can make a woman do some bold things! Lol! It works because of the flowy fabric and basic accessories - anything tight and over the top would have been just too much for this setting. I would love to hear from some of the mums out there how you dress when attending school functions!

Head to Toe Black

OUTFIT Details: Halogen cardigan, H&M T-shirt, Hudson jeans, Aldo sneakers

Clearly this is not the weather to be wearing this attire but I'm craving the Fall so in an attempt to feel like I'm in October I ended up sweating my butt off! Not exactly the smartest thing I've done all week but not the dumbest either ;) The chunky buttons add detail to the simplicity of the cardigan and the wedge sneakers ( similar style found here) give it an athletic vibe, not to mention super comfy feel.

Floral Bomber

OUTFIT Details: Lucca Couture Bomber, H&M Sweater, Topshop jeans, French Connection ( TJMaxx) Bag, Heels from TJMaxx 

I can't help but feel happy wearing this floral bomber. The girly print gives the classic boys club jacket a little umph! See how else I styled it here.

Trendy Business Attire

OD: H&M Top, Topshop skirt, TJMaxx heels, French Connection purse, Anthropologie Shades, jewelry ℅ Stella & Dot 

Corporate America isn't for me but considering I have to work in it I put my own little twist on the environment whatever way I can. This outfit is business attire but in a trendy manner. Instead of wearing the standard black pencil skirt I chose a tartan one and mixed it with a conservative yet eclectic top. How would you do trendy business attire?

My little helper eating the candy instead of putting it out

And that's a wrap…

There's something about stripes that speak to Summer. Due to work I haven't been able to workout for quite a while so I'm not 'Feeling Myself' right now. Yes I totally just made that reference - if you have no idea what I'm talking about check out the video for Beyonce and Nikki Minaj collab. I added the Kimono style gown to cover myself up a little but it also adds a different vibe to the fitted dress. How do you wear your stripes?

Shift dresses and sandals

Outfit Details: Nordstrom shift dress, M&S cardi, TJMaxx sandals, necklace ℅ Kluster 

WAYF designs are simple and easy to dress up or down, which makes it all the more appealing! For a daytime look the shortness of the dress is best paired with flats ( hello TJMaxx!). You can also see how I styled it for evening in an older blog post. I would love to hear how you would wear this shift!
