Fashion 4 the 4th!

Hey dolls!

My gosh it’s been forever since we spoke so I apologize! To give you an update; I had another baby so I’ve been insanely busy and tired 💤

However, now that we’ve settled into a sorta routine I will be blogging once a week! So be ready to hear more from me!

Now on to the fashion!

I can’t believe how quickly the 4th is coming up! It seems as if I was just getting done with Easter now it’s already the end of June!

I love Independence Day! It’s usually hot and it’s a great day to be outside and hang with family and friends. It’s always fun to dress in America’s colors while doing it! However, I’m a firm believer in making sure outfits for holidays aren’t super “cliche looking!” I believe it’s important to purchase pieces that can be worn more than once and easily incorporated into your everyday wardrobe. You can easily add accessories to make your outfit look more patriotic!

First, a classic look that’s always an option-shorts!

A pair of chic shorts in classic denim or white would be a perfect choice to celebrate the 4th of July! Shorts are great for wearing to picnics and other outdoor events!

Pleated Sleeveless Top $64.50

High Rise 4″ Denim Shorts with Raw Hem $49.95

Next, leggings! This athleisure fave is a no brainer if you want to be comfy and stylish at the same time! Make it work for the hot weather by switching out leggings for a pair of biker shorts instead! Pair with flats and a tunic top to give it a daytime look rather than looking like you’re about to hit the gym!

Pair with this…

June Bug Maxi Blouse $228.00

Or this…

Right On Time Tunic $68.00

Harlow Bike Short $38.00

Classic Stripes are perfect to display your pride for America! A striped top is perfect for the holiday and beyond!

Boatneck puffed sleeve top in stripes $69.50

Point Sur seaside short in linen-TENCEL™ $49.50

My personal favorite is a maxi dress! Maxi dresses are my go-to. I love how comfy and versatile they are!

endless rose Striped Maxi Dress $95.00

Once you’ve decided upon what to wear, add patriotic pride with accessories!

Whale Logo Baseball Hat $28.00

NAMJOSH Striped Shell Embellished Bun Headband $50

Panama Hat $79.50

I hope I was able to give you some inspiration on what to wear! Have a wonderful time celebrating Independence Day!

Until next time, stay chic dolls 💜

Thanksgiving Attire 🧡

Thanksgiving as you well know is this Thursday! If you still find yourself unsure of what to wear I have a few ideas that will hopefully ease those worries. Now I know we are only going to be walking from the living room to The dining room to the basement and back again! However, it’s great to look good while doing it!

My go-to is a maxi dress! A maxi allows you to move around freely and not worry too much about being cold. If you’re in a super cold climate like me(Minnesota) you should still opt for tights; however the long length adds that extra layer of warmth! Photo Credit: J.Crew.comPhoto Credit: J. Crew.com

Spaghetti-strap cha-cha maxi dress in leopard print

Another personal favorite is the versatile midi dress! It’s long enough to say “hey I’m fancy” yet at the same time is short enough to were you aren’t having to walk around holding your dress up!

Plaid Tie-Waist Midi Shirtdress

$79.95

Classic lace is always an option! A lace dress is perfect for being your dressy go-to! You know that you’ll instantly feel fancy when you slip on a lace dress!

Floral Lace Tie-Sleeve Shift Dress

$89.95

Pleats are feminine and flirty and make an understated yet chic statement!

Pleated Fit-and-Flare Dress

$139.00

A slip dress is a great versatile option and would be perfect with a sweater layered over it! Make sure the sweater is a bit slouchy so go up a size if needed!
Note: Technical Glitch! For whatever reason the link to the slip dress and sweater below are at the top of the post! Both from J. Crew!

Nevereven seamed satin slip dress $98

Jeweled embellished Fair Isle crewneck sweater $120

If you really want to go all out opt for a sequined number!

Cool Girl Maxi Dress

$300.00

If dresses aren’t really your style a jumpsuit is a great alternative!

All Natural Velvet Jumpsuit

$128.00

Last but not least a cozy sweater and jeans works if you prefer to take a laidback approach to the day!

Teddy Bear Pullover Sweater

$168.00

Whatever you choose to wear on Thanksgiving I hope you have a spectacular day and it’s filled with love.

I am thankful for all of you that read and follow my blog!

With Love,

Trenda

Fishnets, Tights and Leggings!

Hey Dolls,

We are in our final stretch of Winter! March is is here but we all know this doesn’t mean that warm weather happens right away. This simply means that we will have to Endure coldish-warmish in-between weather. This is were chic hosiery and leggings comes into play! I love being cozy however, I never want to sacrifice my style. I will show you a few ways to style your leg wear to get through this fickle weather!

 

Fishnets 

I love wearing fishnets they add that subtle chic-edge to an otherwise preppy outfit. 

When wearing fishnets try to keep most of your outfit fairly simple. Fishnets make an impact, a lot is not required to make a statement wth these!

Tights are perfect for that in-between weather when it’s warm enough for a skirt yet too cold for legs to be bare! Don’t confuse tights as something that can only be worn on fancy occasions. Tights can also be worn with an athleisure vibe!

Sequins For Day!

When you think of sequins, what typically comes to mind is an evening out with friends or a haute date(see what I did there?! LOL) anyways all jokes aside most think of a fancy occasion and/or event. However, for a few years now the trend has gone away from simply keeping sequins for night attire and has transitioned into day! If you are still iffy or unsure of how to rock the trend I want to give you a couple of ideas!

A Sequin Skirt!

A sequin skirt pairs perfectly with a denim jacket and pumps! The socks add a casual vibe and makes it perfect for daytime and evening alike!

Sequin Skirt

Socks are By Muk Luk Similar Here!

A Sequin Top


A Sequin top lends itself to the same concept of combining casual and dressy. A Sequin top paired with sweats makes it easy to run errands and adds that subtle chic to your day! I love this one because of the detailing of the sporty striped neck
KLab Sequin Top!

The blue pumps adds that pop of color that’s perfect for a grey outfit and day! Pumps are from Justfab!

Perfectly Preppy💛

I’m shocked at how warm it is right now in Minnesota! Usually at this time of the year I’m bundled up in every warm thing I can find and trying to keep from freezing. However, this weekend has been refreshingly warm and such a nice reprieve from the cool weather. 

I decided to wear a chic sweat set to celebrate the 57 degree weather!

I paired it with my lovely new Tory Burch mini pumps which were a Valentine’s Day gift from the hubby.

Valentine’s Day-Looks For Staying In and Going Out!

Hey Dolls,

So it’s February and Valentine’s Day is soon approaching! I have always loved Valentine’s Day because it’s always been a day to show love to loved ones in my house. Since I was young my sisters and I were given gifts and treats by our parents. Therefore, if you do or don’t have a romantic relationship on Valentine’s Day you can still use this day to hang with friends or family and show them how much you love them!

With that being said I have come up with a few different looks to wear on  Valentine’s Day! If you stay in for a cozy movie night, head out for a romantic dinner or get apps with friends;  I’ve got you covered!

First Up- Staying Home 

I for one love a good movie and popcorn this cozy ensemble is perfect for watching Netflix or your fave movie!

Joggers and a luxe tee- Similar found at Gap, Shoes are the Billy Jean in Pewter from JustFab

Dinner with the family or Appetizers with friends!

We all know that leggings are being worn to more than yoga nowadays. Make your Look work for going out by pairing it with a tunic length denim jacket. The heels are great if you want to dress the look up a bit!
Leggings are from my friend that sells Lularoe you can request to join her group on Facebook: Lularoe Carri

Similar pumps at JustFab

Tunic Length Tee from H & M

Dressing Chic In Cold Weather💙❄️

Hey dolls,

It’s been so cold the last few weeks in Minnesota. I know you’re probably thinking isn’t it always cold in Minnesota? LOL, well no, not always and it’s been exceptionally cold even for us. It can be hard to know what to wear when you still want to look chic despite the cold weather. I have put together a few looks to give you some inspiration!

I used 3 staple pieces so I can show you how just changing things slightly can totally change your look!

Top- This Is My Too Tired Too Function Sweatshirt  by my Paper Pearl Boutique 

You could use another Chic graphic Top to achieve the look

Jeans-Black Van kingpins- One Teaspoon
-I would buy a size up if you want baggy, but check size chart.

Socks- Sophia Tall Socks By my Paper Pearl Boutique 

Athleisure

It’s pretty easy to make this style of dress look sloppy if you don’t accessorize the right way. Make sure to wear a watch, necklace and/or earrings to dress the look up a bit.


Chic

For a Chic look, try to pick one standout piece and go neutral for the rest of your look!


Casual-Glam

This is probably my favorite way to dress! I love faux fur as a layering piece to add just a dab of glam. Add something sparkly like a barrette or headband for that finishing touch!

Those are the looks! I hope I have given you some inspiration and motivation to keep dressing fabulous despite the cold weather! Do make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss out on posts! Thanks for reading!

Until next time, stay chic dolls 💜
