Top: Gap Black Basic V-neck Tee; Shorts: AGOLDE Parker Vintage Cutoff Shorts (Lowkey) Denim is tricky. But I really like these shorts by AGOLDE. What I really like is that they are just slightly longer in the back. They have a fun frayed, worn look too while also being stylishly high-waisted. These could be your go-to summer shorts!

Button-Up: Express; Jeans: Frame Le Skinny De Jeanne Brisbane Chew; Necklaces: GLDN Pleine Lune Necklace 16″ & Lor Necklace 18″; Belt: JCrew (and one other option) I used to own a Kate Spade gold plated necklace with my initial, but after so much use, it was time to find a new one. Cue GLDN. I found this company on instagram. The photos were absolutely gorgeous, and the necklaces looked elegant. I bought these two necklaces at two different lengths so I can wear them together. I chose to replace my initial necklace and then add a dainty pearl necklace. And I absolutely love them! GLDN offers necklaces in solid gold…

Long Sleeve Shirt: Ivory Ella (also here); Leggings: Lululemon; Shoes: Uggs Slippers in Chestnut My husband jokes with me because I have a lot of clothes from when I was in high school. He especially joked with me about this purchase because I am pretty sure Ivory Ella is geared toward middle school age, maybe high school age, but their clothing is so comfortable! And they are excellent for lounging around the house. I cannot give enough compliments about this brand. I love the pocket design and the softness. AND a percentage of the proceeds go to saving elephants worldwide. XOXO Do you feel influenced yet? (follow me at carissa_cruse)

Sweatshirt: Old Navy; Shoes: Adidas Superstars; Jeans: 7 for all Mankind or Joe’s; Headband: Stoney Clover (similar option) With cold weather still in the air, stay warm and cute with your accessories including fun sweatshirt details like this Old Navy one. I love the heart detail and how soft and cozy I feel in this sweatshirt. XOXO Do you feel influenced yet? (follow me at carissa_cruse)

Sweatshirt: Acta Daily Crop Sweater; Top: Stitch Fix Cami; Leggings: Lululemon Align Leggings When I am home, I seem to live in loungewear exclusively. This is my first crop sweatshirt, and I am loving it! This one in particular is unbelievably soft, and black is my go-to color. I love the monochromatic colors in this look too. Pair with a form fitting cami or show off that midriff! P.S. Use code LEMONTWIST for 15% off. And with each purchase, you can donate to a cause of your choice. XOXO Do you feel influenced yet?
