Yay Or Nay - Scallop Edges

This summer one fun trend is the scallop cut. It reminds me of those crazy scissors I had as a child and that cuts funky edges on paper. Well now scalloped edges have made it onto our clothing. I've seen scallop edges on everything from shoes, bathing suits, dresses, shorts, and tops! So what I want to know what your thoughts are. I think it's a cool diversion from the plain ol' straight edge. It's fun for summertime. In fact, I'm looking for a budget friendly scallop edged dress or maybe a bathing suit.

What To Wear - Wedding Edition

Now that summer is in full swing we all know that really means, it's wedding season! Chances are if you're 24 or over, you'll be attending at least two weddings this year. Being a wedding guest has its own list of complications, from finding a gift, dealing with travel arrangements, awkward conversations with guests you don't know or wish you avoid, and of course planning on what to wear.

Based on the wedding date, location, and invitation, you can determine the proper dress code. But if you're still unsure, it's best to just ask the bride or groom. It's better to ask than to be sorry and come over or under dressed.

Here are general DOS and DON'TS

1. DON'T wear white, silver, cream, or any color similar to white, It's just bad taste. Let the bride have her day.
2. DO think ahead about the location and weather when it comes to your shoes and fabric of the dress. You don't want to wear heavy fabric to an outdoor July wedding nor a light and airy dress to a winter wedding.
3. Speaking of shoes, DO find fabulous and comfy heels so you can dance all night without getting painful blisters!
4. Leave the cleavage baring dresses at home. DON'T outsex or outdo the bride but that doesn't mean you can't show off your toned arms or legs. Dress tastefully and if you're unsure, then it's best pick something else.
5. You DON'T need to run out and buy a whole new outfit for every wedding, unless you want to. As long as majority of the party hasn't seen you in that dress, then go ahead a rock what's already in your closet. If you only have one wedding 'type' outfit and its been seen before and can't afford to buy a new one then try changing up your heels, accessories, and hair style for a new look.

Red, White, Blue and Rain

Sorry I haven't been around this past month or so. I've been busy with starting my wedding plans (Yup! We finally set a date!), having John's family visit, and lots of little things that got in the way. But I'm back and refreshed! The break away has allowed me to come back recharge and gain back the creativity I was losing.

In honor of 4th of July, here's what I wore today. The red rain boots and little red umbrella combo is my favorite to wear in the rain, the pop of color makes me instantly happy and stand out from the crowd of navys and blacks.

I just got the cute dress a few days ago at Target, on sale too! I had been eyeing it for some time, I love the white open dots and the style but I wasn't about to pay almost $30 for it, I'm on a budget baby. I waited it out and with a coupon, I got that dress and another for half off! Target is having lots of good clearance racks on women's clothing and home decor so check them out for great discounts. 

 What's your favorite rain accessories?
