The Two-Toned Polo
I have been absolutely loving polos this summer! To me it is the perfect addition to any wardrobe because it is both classy and fun. Today I wanted to share another cute polo I will be wearing a ton this summer that reminds me so much of the gingham trend that was so popular last spring/summer. The one aspect of this polo that I am always drawn to is the two-toned style. With the collar being white and the print a nice navy blue, it really gives this polo a fun two-toned look. It really adds another pop to the overall outfit that wouldn’t be there if the collar was,…

The Making of the Flatform Trend
There are only a few times in fashion history we have seen a piece of clothing or an accessory encompass both fashionability and comfort. For instance, the classic white t-shirt, a anklets, and ballet flats are all just a few examples of timeless clothing from the past. Today, I introduce to you the a modern version of stylish and comfort — the flatform. I have been eyeing these shoes for a while now and the summer of 2019 is finally when it will get to shine! Now, I know that flatforms sounds like a funny little name, but that is because this trendy shoe is a mix of flats and…

Happy to “Bee” Here
Nothing can truly beat a classic white t-shirt or polo. When you combine those two elements with a simple bee pattern, sky is the limit with how you can style it! Every summer there always seems to be some kind of animal, or in this case a insect, that acts as the fashionable symbol of the year. Well, I believe that 2019’s summer fashion symbol is the bee. I have a detailed theory as to why, but I won’t go into all of that right now and instead I will talk about all of that later. Anyway, back to this polo. I have always had a love for the buttoned…

The Tie-Dye Trend
One of the more surprising trends that I have noticed this spring is one involving tie-dye. It is in so many places these days and can even be found in another spring/summer 2019 trend, the bucket hat. There are so many elements thrown together into this particular trend. For instance, the fusion of color found in the tie-dye trend are similar but a more muted version of the colors we have seen with the neon trend. Additionally, there are also many aspects of the tie-dye trend that has taken over spring fashion that contain the specific look and feel of spring. In my opinion, this just goes to show that…

The Two Toned Denim Trend
Something I have been noticing a lot more of recently is that two toned denim in long jeans and shorts has become something of a micro-trend. Personally, I find this micro-trend very fun and unique! This really will add a little something extra that you can mix and match both spring and summer outfits with. I recently purchased a pair of denim shorts that features this two toned denim look and I thought it would be so much fun to try with different tops and blouses. Also, you wear a pair of the trendy white cowboy boots or just a classic brown pair they will look super cute with these…

My Go-To Ball Cap this Summer
A the sun begins to peak around the clouds of winter, there are a few options for protecting your eyes. The most common prescription to sunny days are sunglasses, however, every now and then you will see someone wearing a ball cap. I typically do not wear ball caps or hats outside of wintertime beanies, but for those bad hair days there is really no better alternative. With the changing weather and windy days, I have found myself reaching for a ball cap more and more. Enter in my new favorite ball cap. This Illinois (my home state) hat I surprisingly found at Walmart. I wasn’t really looking for a…

The Knotted Romper
What better way to welcome the new month than with a cute romper? This is one of my favorite rompers in my closet! I bought it at the tail end of last summer, maybe that is why I am so fond of it for this time of year. The print vertical styled print is one of my favorite aspects of this romper, I’m also a sucker for anything with stripes! The sleeveless look keeps you cool in the heat while the print keeps the romper interesting. My favorite feature is hands down the knot in the front, though! Not many rompers have a knot to tie so this versatile feature…

JORD Watches
If you know me, or if have been reading my blog for a while, you know how much I love a good watch. I have mentioned how it is a staple accessory that everyone should own. If you are searching for a place to find your perfect staple watch, look no further! JORD Watches sent me the Walnut & Vintage Rose of their Cassia Series, and I am in love! The craftsmanship of the beautiful wooden box that my JORD Watch arrived in made me swoon! I love the natural look and feel of this watch! The dark chocolate shade of brown that comes from the Walnut wood of this…

The Summer Floral Trend
Photos taken by Darla Sigmon (@mcsig96 on Instagram) I have never been much of a print girl, but this summer it would seem I am wearing lot more of at least one print. Normally, I like a solid color top with some denim shorts or something else simple and classic, but the floral trend bug has bitten me. Florals are HUGE this summer! You really cannot go shopping without seeing at least one flower on some sort of piece of clothing! The floral trend is so different than most other prints. Every summer it seems like there is at least one kind of print that takes over, but with florals…

The Maxi Romper
Photos taken by Darla Sigmon (@mcsig96 on Instagram) Similar to my look: Romper Wedges This little, not-so-little number has it all! Nothing says summer like a romper, especially when it has the added drama of what I like to think of as a cape! (Honesty, it could be called something else, but I am not sure and I am not going to guess. It makes me feel like Wonder Woman so I am going with the whole cape idea.) This style of romper has been all the rage since last fall, and although we had a cold winter here in the Midwest, I have been…
