Spring and summer sandal picks

Spring and summer sandal styles

 Last year I skipped over purchasing sandals since well we weren’t going anywhere.  This year I’ve made up for it and then some 🙂  Most of my sandals have used up their miles and therefore were ready to be replaced.  When shopping for sandals I like to play around with different styles and colors.  Square toe seems to be making a big statement this year. I like the design because they are extremely comfortable and add a little sophistication to any outfit.  I love any kind of sandal with a little metallic color (these are my pick) or prints.  For example, I snagged these snake print colorful sandals the other day.  I mean you can’t beat the price point.  Plus metallic sandals can easily dress up any outfit. I mostly look for cute, flat everyday sandals but I did need to add a pair of sandals with a heel to my collection and these are fantastic.  Plus they are very comfortable, I wore them every evening out on our trip to Florida last month. In fact, I loved them so much I bought them in two colors.   Having a sandal to slip on and off my the pool was a must for me.  I picked these slides but these are similar and at a better price point.   Most of the sandals I own have lasted many years and I see all of these doing the same. 

I have rounded up all of them in one place here.  Thanks for reading! 

A modern Take on a Classic

How to style a white button down.

The white button down shirt is one of the most underrated pieces of fashion. I’ll admit, growing up it wasn’t the shirt I reached for the most when looking in my closet. Over the years I’ve learned that the make or break components to a great button down shirt are fabric and fit. Lets face it, if you’re wearing a piece of uncomfortable clothing are you going to reach for that bad boy in the future? Believe me, I am all about pairing affordable and splurge worthy finds. However, when it comes to a white button down i’m investing in a few good quality ones. I’m not saying you have to spend a small fortune but quality over quantity most certainly applies in this case.

There’s something about a collared shirt that adds a sense of sophistication and polish to any look. I automatically feel like I’m elevating my style when I throw one on. Can we talk about how versatile they are? One of my favorite ways to style is half tucked in with joggers and sneakers. They are the absolute best layering pieces. I love to pop one under a sweater. Leave the sleeves unbuttoned for a more casual look. Wearing one unbuttoned over a silk slip dress is another great option. In the summer a light weight boyfriend button down can be worn as a cover-up. I love to belt an oversized button down and wear it with over the knee boots. You can’t go wrong with a pair of tailored denim, it’s always a classic look. You never know the places a white button down can take you. I’ve linked the one I’m wearing as well as a few others here.
