Just in case you haven't noticed because you have been very busy or stuck in your cubicle . The weather has been beautiful in most parts of the country the last month or so. Most of us can't wait for the weekend to do something different and get out of the routine. We can't wait to get outside. This begs the question, what can I wear that is fashionable but comfortable?

You have several options. You can do shorts and a loose top with some strappy sandals. Always in style and very comfortable.  Look for shorts with a longer inseam, these are very comfortable and look dressier than short shorts. The can also easily transfer from day to night and would also look great with a wedge heel.

Another great look right now is a great summer dress. There are tons of styles to choose from. You can do a shorter flower print dress. This is a very girly look perfect with a pair of open toe heels are sandals. Another great look is the boho dress.  This carefree look has long dresses or a long skirt. Rock them with a pair of flat sandals and a straw bag and you are ready to go. 

If you are into a more classic look try white denim jeans with a colorful top.  Blue denim dresses are also very on trend and go great with any color of shoe or handbag.

Don't forget to accessorize! No look is great until the look is completed with the right jewelry, bag, and shoes.

Have a great weekend!

Happy Shopping!

Work Outfit for $150

Sometimes dressing every morning for work seems like a chore. Usually it's a dash and go process. Pick out whatever is clean and ironed and you are out the door. I have found that the easiest way to dress to work is to stick to the classics. This style of clothes is usually always cheaper and never goes out of style. Try an add an accessory that is seasonal and/or on trend and it won't seem that you have a uniform for work. If you work the right accessory you can always look modern and well dressed.  Another good tip is to pick out your clothes the night before. This will ensure that you always have a new look and it should give you a few extra minutes in the morning, I don't know maybe to actually sit down and have breakfast.

Which Neckline Is Best For Me?

The right neckline can definitely enhance you natural body shape. It can make you look slimmer and more put together. Once you know which neckline works best for you,  you naturally look for that type of top when you go shopping.

Crewneck - This classic style is very easy to find. It doesn't necessarily flatter everyone.  This look is best if you have a small or medium size bust and an average or long neck.  Steer clear if you have a larger bust or shorter neck because it can make you look bigger and shorter.

V-Neck - This is a great style. It flatters everyone!  Small bust, large bust, short neck, long neck. This style enhances every ones natural assets.  If you are bigger on top try a narrower v-neck. If you are smaller go for a wider neckline.

Scoopneck - Similar to a V-neck. This style flatters a larger bust because it shows more neck and upper chest. It makes the bust appear smaller. Don't forget a demi cut bra. If you go for a full coverage bra you run the risk of having your bra peek through.
Boatneck - This neckline is very feminine and makes any top even a t-shirt a little more dressy. It works best with a smaller bust and longer neck. Add an accessory to finish the look. Don't forget to wear a bra with straps that hit at the end of the shoulder or go for a strapless bra.

Remember long lines like a v-neck make things appear smaller.  A crewneck or boatneck makes things appear wider.

Happy shopping!

Can I really wear a jumpsuit?

Of course you can!

Jumpsuits were all the rage at recent spring fashion shows.  You don't have to be a stick figure to pull it off but some tips will definetly help you not look like you are wearing a baby onesie.

Treat a jumpsuit like a dress. Top it off with a blazer for a polished look or a belt to break up the look.

Don't do head to toe pattern. It will look to busy and totally 80's.

Choose a wide leg pant and a forgiving fabric like jersey to help you conceal any part you are not totally confident about.

There are many varieties from simple black for a night out look to a casual cotton daytime look.

Finish off with a great platform heel or a nice wedge to finish off the look.

Don't forget the jewelry. The open neckline is perfect for a long necklace to compliment the look.
