easy like a sunday morning

Blouses that act like dresses are the ultimate bang for your buck. When on a cooler day, I might have worn this with skinny jeans and heals, here I am passing it off like a summer frock in 112 degree weather.


The teal embroidered pattern on the kimono style makes this blouse/dress hybrid an obvious wardrobe favorite. The embellished trim and tie waist are adorable bonuses.


The combination of teal and yellow is a color formula I go back to time and time again. Notice how they play off of each other in this number? They were meant to go together!

discovering the unexpected



The eye catching color and feminine shape in this dress capture the combination I'm craving for right now. The unexpected bold pattern is spontaneous and punchy. That this would remind me of Psychology 101 and a lesson on rorschach inkblots is an extra bonus. I see glaciers in the skirt of my dress. What do you see? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Rule of Thumb #6: Think outside the box. Limiting your scope can otherwise stifle your fashion potential. Case in point: this so-called dress is actually a nightgown!



A classic white button down is a standard for anyone's wardrobe. Combined with this dress, an otherwise preppy staple is fancied-up and unabashedly fun, playing off of the pattern and color contrasts in the overall look. Tied around the waist is the ideal final touch.
