pair it with... mustard

Whenever I list an item in the shop, I always try to recommend a way to wear it. I don't consider myself a styling expert (not by any means!), but I think it's fun to conjure up new ways to wear the same old stuff or new items. So, I decided to feature a few items from the shop and show how I would style them up. Lately, I've been a real sucker for a rich, mustard yellow color, so this time I'm featuring two condiment colored items.

For this pretty marigold colored top, I kept it casual by pairing it with cuffed denim shorts and nude colored t-strap sandals. I personally tend to go easy on the accessorizing, so I added a single necklace and a summer inspired straw tote. In order to add a tad bit of edge, consider knotting the hem of the shirt. It's unexpected, yet flirty! This outfit would be perfect for running errands on the weekend, or attending an outdoor concert.

I love this gingham check blouse, and it really stands out with this bright, mustard skirt. Some might not think to pair the two together, but the print of the blouse and the brightness of the shirt work well together, even though they are both bold pieces. To tone down the rest of the outfit, I chose simple gold peep toe flats and bangle bracelets. The belt pulls it all together, and the gold lion buckle adds a bit of surprise. A simple brown leather satchel with gold accents is the perfect topper! This outfit would work great for an outdoor dinner or a day of shopping.

this with that: keep it casual

For the very first "this with that" feature, I chose the ever so lovely Hippy Chic Crochet Tank. In order to keep it casual (you know, for a day at the library perusing the bookshelves) I picked out a pair of polka dot shorts and gray strappy sandals, which go nicely with the cream color of the tank. The dainty gold earrings pair nicely with the braided fabric headband without overpowering one another. The slouchy khaki color tote is the perfect complement to the rest of the outfit. It's roomy and would be perfect for throwing all your library books into... I want to buy one for myself!

shop update: hot hot heat

I don't know about you, but we are having a serious heat wave in Indiana... and it doesn't seem to be letting up anytime soon. If I could go naked, I would... but since it's illegal and I'm a wimpy little thing that wouldn't make it 2 minutes in lockdown, I'll settle for dressing in items like these... lightweight and flowy.

Who doesn't need a cute romper?! These are perfect for warm hazy days, and this particular one has adorable scallop details.

I love this unique wrap skirt... I found it at a local thrift store and I can just picture it being paired with some strappy brown sandals and plain gray tank, perfect for a warm day in this insistent Indiana heat!

Check the shop for these great items and many more!
