French Chic

Sometimes you just want to wear a simple tee and jeans, but want to feel slightly French for the day.

Easy Mom Outfit idea

Today I wanted to share a simple outfit any woman can wear on a Summer day when they are rushing and on the go.  All this look requires is a triangle scarf, hair up in loose bun, cotton maxi dress, earrings, and sneakers.

Style Tips:

1.  Scarves tied around the head can be either loved or hated by women.  A lot of women just feel like they draw too much attention to the face.  I have played around with them a lot on myself, and I feel like leaving the ends tied on the bottom and the side are the most flattering ways to wear one.  Some women like the tie at the top and some may like to have it at the nape of your neck and kept out of sight.  If you don't like it tied around your head, wear it around your neck loosely hanging or tied around the neck.  The point is to add a little touch of class to this simple look and scarves are the easiest way to do that.

2.  Every women needs a long maxi dress for her worst days.  A comfortable one that allows you to run around with your kids outside is preferable.  I love mine because it is stretchy and I can throw on a light jacket over it at night if it gets chilly.  Black is great because it's not see-through and everything goes with black.

3.  Get out your cutest sneakers, because they complete this easy look and the point is to be comfortable on your busy day.

4.  Fun dangle earrings or statement earrings can also be worn for that extra touch of glamour without getting too gypsy looking.

I hope these style tips help you feel more chic on your busy Summer day or on a day where you do not feel like washing that hair and just need to put it up and figure out how to make it work!



Have a great day!

Mini Skirts Make a Comeback 2016

Mini skirts are making a comeback, so this is a good thing for ladies who like to show their gams.  While I fully approve a mini skirt for women of all ages, I still think they need to be tastefully styled no matter what age you are.  For this look, I paired a cotton stretch skirt with a striped cotton stretch dress and played with some pattern mixing.  This old skirt is an oldie from Forever 21 and the dress is from TJ Maxx.  I need to remove the belt loops from this skirt, because they just look weird and I would never wear a belt with this skirt because it doesn't need one.

Style Tips:  

1.  Looking chic is all about knowing how much skin to show, and what to not show.  Showing a lot of leg is sexy, but covering up your chest is more appropriate.  Try a simple tee tucked in that covers your arms too.

2.  Flats are definitely more appropriate when wearing mini skirts in Spring and Summer.  For Fall, knee high boots and ankle boots with heels are very nice paired with wool mini skirts and heavier fabrics.  


Hope you have a nice week!
