  • Polka Dots: Three Ways

    Top: Alice & Olivia (Similar Casual Option vs. Fancier Option); Bottoms: Express High-Waisted Skirt or (similar with a flared hem); Express High Waisted PaperBag Ankle Pant Black When I snagged this polka dot crop top, I thought I would have a really difficult time pairing it since I don’t prefer to show midriff. Well, I was wrong! Pair most any crop top with any high-waisted bottom, and you’re good to go! You choose which style you prefer… XOXO Do you feel influenced yet? (follow me at carissa_cruse)

  • Soludos: Tassle Camel Espadrilles

    Shoes: Soludos Tassel Camel Espadrille or Here I am a sucker for embroidered animals on shoes especially when they have adorable embellishments like these added tassels. I am also a MAJOR sucker for camels. I absolutely love them! Although each time I have been around them they growl incessantly at me, I still have faith that one day one camel will warm up to me and love me as much as I love it. Anyways! Soludos does it again with these beautiful shoes. I would say they run true to size. I did notice that the toe bed is a little tight, so maybe size up. But that’s up to…

  • Denim on Denim

    Top: Old Navy denim button up; Jeans: Joe’s; Belt: JCrew Perforated Italian Leather Belt Denim on denim can be tricky (although that seems to be changing). I feel comfortable wearing it as long as the colors or shades of denim are different. Here, I paired a lighter denim with a darker denim and broke up the denim with a blush colored belt.
