Knot Your Typical T-Shirt

Hey y’all! I hope everyone had a great weekend and Easter holiday. Mine was pretty low key, but still really nice.

Today I have a great simple top to share with you.

I am always on the hunt for plain tees. They are a staple in any wardrobe and definitely a necessity. I love this one because while it’s plain the knot detail gives it a little something extra. Not to mention this blush pink color is perfect for spring and summer.

This day I paired it with regular jeans but it would also look great with white or black denim and don’t forget about shorts. It comes in a couple colors and I’m thinking I might need to grab those as well.

Instagram Roundup

Happy Humpday!

I hope you're all having a great week so far. This has been a short week for me since I had Monday off. (I am definitely not complaining about that!)

Today I thought I would do a small Instagram roundup to let y'all know where I got a few things I have posted recently. Also, if you aren't following along already, be sure to follow me--> @thefashionablylateblonde

Christmas Dress

Happy Friday!

I am so happy the week is almost over. I still have to work tomorrow but it’s my last Saturday of the year, so that’s something to celebrate.

Wednesday I showed you what to wear to a tacky sweater party and today I’m talking about what to wear to something a little more sophisticated.

 When I first saw this dress, I was immediately drawn to the color and thought Christmas Party!!

The ruffle detail makes it classy and is completely on trend. I also like the drop waist, which is unusual because that style typically doesn’t flatter my body. I think the material and double layer is what makes it work.

The best part about this dress is there is a million ways to style it. I kept it simple since it’s been hot and paired it with nude cutout booties, gold jewels, and a gold clutch. However, it would also look cute with black tights and black heels or OTK boots. The possibilities are endless with this perfect holiday dress.

The good news is you can still get it in time for Christmas Eve if you order and select next day shipping. If you don’t want to pay an arm and a leg in shipping cost, I suggest checking your local BCBGeneration.

Hope y’all have a great weekend and if you have any last minute Christmas shopping to do, I hope it’s not too crazy out there!

Swing Dress

TGIF!

I don’t know about y’all but it has been a long week back after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Today, as promised, I’m showing you another way to wear the dress from Wednesday’s post.

Who doesn’t love a good blanket scarf? I can promise you this gal does. I immediately thought a big blanket scarf would add some much needed print to this dress, so I kept it simple, and just wrapped it around. However, it would also look cute draped over your shoulders and belted. The belt would be another great accessory to add interest to the dress. Now, let’s talk about what might be my favorite part of this outfit…the shoes. The hemline is pretty short so, it pairs perfectly with OTK boots. I have been dying to wear these, since they arrived on my doorstep. However, with the heat here in Florida, they required the perfect outfit; aka a dress.

Since this outfit is pretty neutral, it allows the color of the dress to stand out. Add a dark lip and you’re ready for a day full of festivities.

In-Vested

Happy hump day!

Today I am showing y’all my favorite outfit as of late.

 I am obsessed with both of these pieces, and would wear some variation of this every day, if that were socially acceptable.

 If I had to pick a favorite of the two items, I would have to say the vest. First, it is completely on trend with the longer midi length. I also LOVE that it has pockets. Seriously, if something has pockets I will buy it on that fact alone. Lastly, it has an almost quilted detail that really gives it a lux look.

I must admit I was a little intimidated by the vest when I first saw it, which is why I immediately thought to pair it with this dress.

I love simple dresses that are easy to throw on and dress up with shoes, accessories, or other clothing pieces. This dress is perfect for this time of year with long sleeves and a mock neck. In addition, the fabric is really light, so it’s perfect for layering.  Throw on a pair of tights and OTK boots and boom you’re ready for cold weather.

Oh and did I mention the price point on both of these is extremely wallet friendly?

P.S. Since I love both these pieces, so much I’ll be showing you another way I wear each piece.
