Stop. I know what you’re thinking… another gingham off the shoulder top?! Let me explain, this one takes the cake for all gingham tops this summer. It’s light weight (i.e. wearable in hot weather), comfortable, on-trend AND it stays in place. Plus it has this cute ruffle that not only goes over the cheast but also the sleeves.

Happy 5th of July! Hope you had a good long weekend. We’ve been on vacation all weekend and are soaking it all up before it’s back to reality. It was our second time leaving town with Crosby and wow, is it hard to pack the car with all the stuff we need. We were sweating and definitely needed a drink once we got to our destination. #FirstTimeParents

The 4th of July is just one week from today! I always feel like after it passes the rest of the summer goes super fast and before you know it it’s Labor Day. Nevertheless, I always love dressing for this holiday. I showed a red, white and blue look yesterday but I wanted to share more recent looks that could easily be recreated for the holiday.

A little red white and blue look to kick off the week! I seem to be on a one-shoulder top kick lately and this top is another good one that’s quite a steal! I think this would be a really cute 4th of July outfit if you’re looking for ideas, but it’s also great for any summer day/night.

It’s the longest day of the year… happy first day of summer! It’s already felt like summer weather-wise but I’m excited that it’s officially here. Also, let me apologize for the coloring on these photos, I’m not sure what happened but I’m just gonna roll with it and post them anyway.

Up until recently anytime I’d see anything with one shoulder, I’d automatically flash back to some cringe-worthy trends of the early 00’s. Specifically a black top I wore with a hot pink mini skirt to a Justin Timberlake concert that made me look like a Good & Plenty candy. So when this trend came back around I was a bit hesitant at first. Then I started seeing the silhouette more and started to love how ruffles could add a billowy look, instead of the body-con way I wore it in the past.
