Scoop Neck – Add a Necklace?
Dress: Max Studio Blue Dress (here’s a link to more recent dresses) I’ve been playing with not wearing necklaces. I used to think any neckline that exposed your chest was a perfect frame for a beautiful necklace and that not wearing a necklace made the look unfinished. While I still think a scoop neck provides an excellent frame for a necklace, I have started to let the dress AND myself be the main statement. LOL! I find that my eyes fixate much more on the outfit when I don’t wear a necklace. I also noticed that when I wear a dressier shoe and no necklace, my outfit actually tends to…

Ruggable: Machine Washable Rugs
Rug: Ruggable Dakota Ivory Blue Rug I made this blog to review my Instagram buys, and one of those buys was a Ruggable machine washable rug. I LOVE the color we bought and especially with our mid-century media stand, the two create a funky living room feel. But back to the rug. We have owned a Ruggable for almost a year now and have washed it one time. Washing it was no problem at all, and it really did come out much cleaner. The only complaint I have is that I cannot use my vacuum cleaner on it. The suction is too great, and the vacuum ends up sucking up…

Mother of Dragons
Top: Mother of Dragons Tee simpleeDmaree; Shorts: Else Denim Green Wash Shorts (no longer sold – I looked high & low); Headband I have two things to say. One, do you like certain pieces of clothing so much that you don’t actually wear them very often in case you can’t replace them? That’s how I feel about these shorts, and now I am going to have be EXTRA careful about wearing them because I cannot find them ANYWHERE. I bought them at Macy’s in their Impulse section awhile back. I particularly like these shorts because of the stretch. Most denim shorts don’t have much give, but these shorts feel more…

If I were to Book a Trip…
Dress: Banana Republic (not the exact one – but this linked dress would go equally well); Shoes: Chloe Woody Flat Mule in Canvas; Purse: Gucci Disco Bag; Earrings: Bauble Bar (sold out, but very cute alternatives) If I were to book a trip, I don’t even know where I would go. I have so many places that I need to explore. However, given that this is a white dress option with cute (not necessarily the most comfortable walking shoes), I would opt for what I would imagine to be a low-key, ultra glamorous trip to the South of France. I could envision a little sight-seeing, shopping, and a delicious lunch…

Sunday Best
Dress: Maude (this is old)Shoes: Nordstrom BP Gabby Woven Wedge Sandal Full Disclosure, I did not wear this to church. It’s a bit too low cut for me to wear to church without a bandeau cami underneath. However, this bright pink dress was the perfect Sunday brunch piece. It’s fun! It’s flirty! And it’s summery! Also, the material was much more suited for warm weather than some of the other “summer” dresses I have worn. XOXO Do you feel influenced yet? (follow me @carissa_cruse)
