Ruffle top under 20

wearing: rose quartz and gold dangle earrings c/o BaubleBar (love these, current fav!!) / Chanel summer lipstick / blue and white striped ruffle top (under $15!!) / wide leg raw hem jeans / Cult Gaia bag (in stock!) / Essie summer nail polish c/o / brown and silver leather watch / silver mules (fall 2017 under $75 and super comfy!!)

Can we dub this the “Summer of Ruffles?” I am pretty sure I own more ruffle and tiered tops right now then I have owned in all of the years I have lived on this planet combined. That’s a lot of ruffles!

The ruffle trend may have turned out to be my favorite trend of the summer 2017 season. I just love it! Ruffles are so lighthearted, playful, and downright fun! This top is turning out to be a great casual outfit game changer. Instead of a tee, I can thrown on this top and look instantly on trend! Love that! Plus, it is under $15. Love that more! haha

Like the white ruffle top I wore earlier in the season, this blue and white striped top can be worn off of both shoulders, or just off one shoulder. It is always nice to have versatility in a top.

Which summer trend have you found yourself stocking your closet with?

National Lipstick Day 2017: my current go-to lipsticks

chanel rouge coco shine summer 2017 lipstick colors

Happy National Lipstick Day! In celebration of this day, I thought it would be fun to share with you my three favorite lipsticks for the summer season. While dark colors, and trendy paintable lip colors are great for evenings out on the town, I prefer something a little more subtle and natural during the day.

I have been wearing Chanel’s Rouge Coco sheer lipsticks since I was in my early 20’s. This is my favorite sheer lipstick on the market. It never cakes, and always leaves subtle color. You can see my review of the their summer colors here.

The new Estee Lauder Pure Color Love collection is so fabulous! I am addicted to their wide of range of colors. This has become my go-to cream lipstick. I love the subtle pink shades in the collection for summer, and plan to wear darker colors when fall rolls around. You can see my review of the collection here.

Tiered sleeve top for fall 2017

tiered sleeve top fall 2017 tiered sleeve top fall 2017 fall 2017 handbag trendsstiered sleeve top fall 2017fall 2017 shoe trnds

wearing: periwinkle blue tassel earrings / Chanel summer lipstick / blue and white striped tiered sleeve top for fall 2017 / Givenchy handbag / black leather and rose gold watch / Chanel summer nail polish / dark rinse girlfriend jeans for fall / embroidered mules for fall

I love a tiered sleeve top for fall 2017 I can wear now! This fun top with tiered sleeves for fall is lightweight and breezy, making it easy to wear on cool, summer days, when the fog is in; or temperatures remain in the seventies.

The tiered sleeve trend picked up pace during the spring/summer season, and is maintaining popularity as move into the fall 2017 season. The runways for fall 2017 showed both bell sleeves, and tiered sleeves, for the cool weather season. This means the tiered sleeve trend is here to stay; at least for the fall/winter season. We will find out in September what is in store for spring 2018!

This top with tiered sleeves for fall 2017 is a great way to rock the tiered sleeve trend this autumn season. The fabric is lightweight, and the overall silhouette of the blouse is conservative enough to be worn on a daily basis. It also comes in a classic, crisp white fabric. White is fabulous for fall, because white after Labor Day is all the rage! Love!

A top with tiered sleeves can be worn several different ways for the fall season. Of course the obvious is with jeans, but it also looks fabulous with wide leg, cropped pants, a pencil skirt, or skinny cigarette pants. I love how tiered sleeve tops look with slides or booties for fall; a trendier footwear style balances out the slightly avant-garde look of the tiered sleeves.

My tiered sleeve top is currently part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and the price will go up to retail on August 6, 2017. So if you like my top, now is the time to snag one! Otherwise, I found a few fabulous tops with tiered sleeves for the fall season, that you can wear now, and assembled them into scrolling widget below.

What do you think of the statement sleeve trend? More specifically, tiered sleeves?
