My Style: Garden Party

Today's Look:  is for a garden bridal shower that I will be attending.  A springtime bridal shower screams for floral prints, pastel colors, and feminine lace.  When styling this outfit, the first thing that caught my eye was the top.  I adore this Charlotte Russe floral-printed, sheer-chiffon top with a scoop neckline and cuffed dolman sleeves.  Pairing this gorgeous blouse with lace shorts, I felt these pumps rocked it perfectly.  Jewelry included peach and gold dangling earrings and an array of rings.  I'd like to know what you wore to your last bridal shower--leave a comment if you have time and share your outfit deets!

Fashion Tip:  For garden parties, often times the venue and activities are set up on grass.  With this in mind, be sure to wear appropriate, comfortable shoes.  I know the party I'm attending will have a nice deck and concrete walkways, so short heels are doable and fitting for the occasion.

With so much inspiration on the web, I went through and picked out my favorite photos of garden bridal showers that stood out to me and inspired the look!  Enjoy :)

My Style: Just Do It

Today’s Look:  is about getting ready for swimsuit season, a.k.a. toning and looking good while doing it.  Now that it’s getting warmer again, we can finally get back outside for some athletic fun.  To begin, I chose a soft hacci knit top, with an off-the-shoulder, scoop neckline and an oversized fit, which is so comfy you’ll want to lounge around in it all day long.  In neon coral, this light knit top, styled with raglan sleeves and a hi-lo hemline, is perfection.  To add additional style to this outfit, I chose cotton-spandex blended black shorts with bows on each leg by Poof Apparel.  I love how the cut fits and how the bows add femininity.  To complete the styling, I wore Nike running shoes in neon pink and mango (because I think every girl needs a pair) and I was ecstatic to find that the top matched perfectly.  Now, if I can coax myself away from my computer, I might go workout on this beautiful Sunday. . . . Xoxo, Shelly

Fashion Tip:  Think about wearing vibrant colors when going to workout; the bright, fun colors not only make you more visible to traffic if you’re running alongside the road (or hotties in the gym), but it also helps elevate your mood and confidence.  If you look good and feel good, then you'll enjoy your workout even more.
