Flowy Shirts & Maxi Skirts


Good afternoon ladies! I have to say that I am absolutely in LOVE with maxi skirts lately. Who doesn't want to feel both comfortable and fabulous all at once? These skirts are the best and add a beautiful femininity to your daily wardrobe. I paired my maxi with a beautiful, flowy top that has a surprise open back, (who doesn't love that?!) Under my tank, I threw on a sweet little bandeau to cover up my bra, but hey, if you got it, flaunt it! Having a bare back is so sexy these days and will definitely add some sex appeal to your look. If that's a little much, feel free to sport a black strapless bra which would still look great! To top off my comfy fit, I threw on some simple gold jewelry and some combat boots to finish the laid-back style I had created. Everyone should definitely invest in some maxi skirts ASAP, especially with spring and summer heading our way! These little gems will really accent your wardrobe and give your looks a feminine flair.

Where to Wear This:
Since this outfit is definitely on the laid-back end of things, you could wear this just about anywhere! If it's a bit chilly outside, pair with a long brown/black sweater to keep things sweet and simple. Enjoy lounging around while still looking gorgeous all day long!
kisses, Em

Southern Livin'


Howdy ya'll! Today was absolutely beautiful and I couldn't help but take advantage of the gorgeous scenery I found at the barn today. I have always been a cowgirl at heart, so this style of clothing is right up my alley. I decided to slip on some rugged cowgirl boots, some high-waisted shorts, a french-inspired tank, and a jean button-up shirt that plays on the "all-American girl" vibe. Since jean button-up shirts (especially asymmetrical styles) and high-waisted shorts are thriving right now, I decided to grab these easy looks from a local thrift store and cut and modernized them into something new :) By cutting the high-waisted pants into flirty shorts, and by cuffing the jean button-up shirt into a sweater, I was able to create a great girl-next-door look. 

Where to Wear This:
Ladies, this casual summer look is great to wear out and about with friends, off to lunch, or better yet, off to the barn like me ;) Rocking the red, white, and blue adds a fun, spirited look  during the summer, especially around the 4th of July! So start collecting these easy staples into your closets so you're prepared to work it all summer long :) 
kisses, Em
