Black + White Stripe Floral Jumpsuit







Jumpsuit (sold out, see similar styles below) | Purse (under $40) | Heels | Earrings | Sunglasses 

Jumpsuits are perfect for summer, and are a great alternative to wearing a dress. They can easily be dressed up or down, and are perfect for the city and on vacation. 

From stripes, to ruffles, floral print and peek-a-boo cutouts, there's a jumpsuit for everyone. Style tip: your figure can often get lost when you're wearing a one-piece, so be sure to define your waist! 

 Below I've rounded up 15 super cute jumpsuits, and most of them are under $100!

Casual Style - Gucci Shirt & Belt










Jeans (on sale - under $100) | Shirt (affordable version here) | Jacket | Belt (affordable version here) | Bag (similar style) | Heels | Earrings (similar here, here and here) | Rhinestone Cuff | Bangle

I definitely am a girly girl and tend to gravitate toward dresses and feminine silhouettes. From lace, to patterns, prints and of course, pink, my style inadvertently is on the dressier side. 

That being said, I'm always surprised when I show up in a casual outfit, and my friends say to me, "I didn't think you owned jeans." Like...seriously?!? Of course I do! Truth be told, I own more pairs of jeans then I am willing to admit, and I wear them more often then my friends (and maybe my readers/followers) may realize. 

I'm a huge fan of street style, and like to try my hand at it once in a while. I wanted to double-dip in the Gucci trend that's everywhere and pair this belt with this shirt. It may be a little extra, but it's definitely a look I feel like I'd see on the streets on NYC! It would also be the perfect travel outfit, especially if you swapped the pumps for flats or even a pair of sneakers. I tracked down exact dupes for my shirt and my belt that are both under $40! Be sure to check them out here and here

Timeless Navy & White Dress









Happy Wednesday, my friends! 

You know I am a dress fanatic, and I could't wait to share this one with you. I'm always looking to refresh my closet every season, and I love branching out and finding new brands to incorporate into my wardrobe. 

 I recently discovered this dress from Elizabeth McKay and it's been my go-to lately. Whether it's for work or play, it easily takes me from day to night. Not to mention, it's as comfy as can be. The silk material and hidden pockets update the timeless silhouette, and the ruffle sleeve adds girly flare. Speaking of timeless, this dress would literally look good on women of any age, with any body type. It's forgiving in all the right places, and the length is appropriate for any situation. 

 The neutral navy and white pallet gives you a lot of flexibility to play with different colored shoes and accessories. Plus, the tie belt could easily be swapped out for another cute waist cincher to give you a completely different look.

As always, thanks for stopping by! xo
