When I can't decide on what to wear in any other season, I usually rely on a flowy, white blouse with jeans, so it's no surprise that my summertime go-to will be a flowy blouse, in dress form. Somehow, dressing in cool colors gives the effect of feeling cooler as well, so neutral ...read more

There are certain childhood dreams that can't be realized as an adult. Fortunately, wearing a long, flowing prairie dress can and should be. This dress avoids a full-blown Laura Ingalls-esque costume thanks to an understated floral print and a decidedly more modern ...read more
Fringe detailing is one of those things that has the ability to add a bit of playfulness to any outfit. Whether it's a pair of earrings, a beach tote, or in this case, a knit tank top, no clothing item or accessory is immune to its benefits. To offset its playfulness (and ...read more
