Personal Style | How to Incorporate Prints Into Your Summer Wardrobe

June 13, 2017 by Whitney 6 Comments

With temperatures reaching above 90 degrees, for 3 days straight, it looks like summer is making it’s way to the East Coast. I’m not a huge fan of scorching temperatures unless I’m on a beach or near a pool, but I’m trying my best to prepare for the approaching season by adding some summer pieces to my wardrobe. As I mentioned in this post, I’m still shopping while in between sizes. This goes for my clothes and shoes so it’s a little frustrating at times, but I’m making it work.

Over the weekend I decided to pull out my favorite pair of pants. I was skeptical about how they’d fit; after all, it’s been more than 2 years since I’ve worn them. Once I figured out they fit, it was on! I paired the flowy pants with one of my new sleeveless tops and threw on the most comfortable pair of sandals, EVER. My black Birkenstocks. Can I just tell you that I’ve been dying to have a pair of these sandals? For years I couldn’t fit shoes/sandals with straps of any kind; even if they were adjustable. They just weren’t comfortable. Fast forward 2 years and I’m down a 1/2 shoe size and I no longer suffer from swollen feet and ankles! #WontHeDoIt

Pardon my excitement… Let’s get back to the outfit, shall we? Pairing 2 loose-fitting clothing items can sometimes make you look heavier than you are. However, if your top has a flattering hemline like the one here, it works. Also if you’ve been trying to figure out how to incorporate prints into your summer wardrobe, start with a pair of pants like this and add a solid top. Simple enough, right?

Style | Wearing Shorts on the Weekend + Style Linkup

July 6, 2015 by Whitney 38 Comments

This weekend was absolutely wonderful! It was also humid, very busy and rainy, but nonetheless it was wonderful. I spent most of the days with family, which is always a great thing. Knowing that I was going to be busy I decided to wear shorts and a lightweight tunic on Saturday. Hubby and I joined my family at the River Hill 4th of July Parade. My little sister rode in the parade while representing her title, Miss American Teenager, Preteen. It was a lot of fun and she, of course, had a ball riding in a drop top white mustang. 😉

Wearing shorts is something I haven’t always been a fan of. But over the past few years, I have embraced my body and shape and wearing shorts has been part of that journey. Regardless of your size, shorts during the summer months is a must. As long as their appropriate and fit nicely, I say go for it!

Regardless of your size, shorts are a summer wardrobe must have. #wnjstyle

Speaking of wearing shorts, my favorite linkup from last week was Cheryl of Oh to Be a Muse.  I love Cheryl’s easy breezy outfit, and not to mention her hair! She always styles herself perfectly, head to toe, regardless of the season. She’s true to her personal style and looks great in these Zara shorts!
