CASUAL, DRESSY, FEMININE, AND FLIRTY, THIS TOP IS ALL OF THESE

All of you were so sweet yesterday in your comments about my hair. There are times when I walk past a mirror and take a double-take. Lol! I don’t even recognize myself just yet. Plus, one time, I’ll love my look, and the next time I think, “what the heck did you do???” Lol!

Hair is one thing that I’ve never got too worked up about. I can recolor it if I don’t like the color, and it will eventually grow out again if you don’t like the cut. Plus, with extensions, you don’t even have to wait for it to grow out. My hairdresser kept saying, are you sure you want to go this short? She said that some people go all to pieces if their hair doesn’t turn out as they envisioned.

I’ll get some photos of the sides and back soon and upload them. I am still working out the kinks on how to style this new look.

Emersyn comes and stays with us a lot on the weekends, and she decided to hop into my photoshoot. Can you tell that she picked out her outfit? She hasn’t seen my haircut yet, so I can hardly wait to see her reaction. Lol! You can bet that she’ll tell me exactly what she thinks.

Isn’t this the cutest little top?!? I love how feminine (prissy) and flattering it looks. I am a huge fan of a deep v-neck top because that elongates your neck. An elongated neck helps you look thinner, and I can use all of the help I can get.

The puff sleeve is a current and modern-looking trend. The sleeves are thin and flowy, but the body of the blouse is lined so that you can’t see through it. I love this navy and white print, but the blouse also comes in a pretty pink and a turquoise blue. I am wearing a size medium, and I think that the top runs TTS.

Here is a look from the side so that you can see the length of the top. It can be worn loose or tucked, and I am wearing is also with a half tuck. Someone asked for a tutorial on a half tuck, and here is how I do that. I take the front of the top and tuck it in from the button to the first belt look on both sides. Then, I start pulling and arranging the top so that it blousons and falls as I want it. Just keep playing with the look; you’ll get the hang of it.

These Old Navy jeans are a deep dark rinse, and I think this wash looks dressier than the light wash versions. Lately, it seems like I’ve been buying mostly light wash jeans, so I wanted a darker look. These jeans are an extra-high waist pair, but I don’t think they are crazy high. I have a pair by Madewell that is way higher than these.

These jeans have a relaxed fit and a straight leg, so they are perfect for the current trends in jeans. They fit great and aren’t too loose and baggy. I am wearing my usual size 10, and I think that they run true to size.

The OG Straight Leg jean from Old Navy is a style that I love at this moment. I have several of these jeans, so I’ll link to those below.

I bought this little navy crossbody early this year from Lilly Pulitzer. I’m learning to only carry a small number of things with me when I go to the grocery store, shopping, or out to eat. It turns out that I don’t need the kitchen sink with me at all times, after all. Lol! This crossbody was on clearance, so it isn’t available any longer, but I found several that would work also.

Here is a closer look for you at this bag. And, you can see that I am wearing my favorite hoop earrings, the AVI. I have these earrings in silver and gold, and I love them so much!!!
