There’s nothing like a fun, flowing dress for the summer! I picked up this fun little number at the ModCloth FitShop in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago. I love the two tiered ruffle back with tie, and the flowing silhouette of the dress. It adds so much interest to the dress!

If I had a wedding to attend, this would be a great wedding guest outfit or dress for a wedding guest. At the moment, I am just wearing it and being overdressed for my daily activities. haha, I walked into the Starbucks attached to my gym like this. I was the only person inside not dressed in workout clothing! Thankfully, I didn’t get any side-eye for being overdressed. haha

The dress has a tie at the top of the back which helps secure the dress properly. There is also a tie at the waist so you can tie it in a comfortable spot. This is a comfortable, great fitting dress. It also comes in plus sizes!!

Side note about my shoes: The black version of my pumps can be found 40% off online here. They are SO comfortable!! I can walk for days in them. I also own a red version in the low heel style.

Do you ever buy a dress because you love it, yet have no occasion to wear it to? I did with this dress! Now, could someone please invite me to a wedding so I can wear this as my wedding guest outfit? Thank you!

Wide leg pants for the summer season

wearing: gold hoop drop earrings / lipstick / military green top (under $20) / mixed metal bangles / Chanel summer nail polish / black wide leg pants (under $25)  / tan circle bag / mules (on major sale!)

I always love finding lightweight pants to wear on hot summer days. Not everyday is a casual short or jeans kind of day. That being said, I don’t always want to wear a dress or a skirt when it’s warm outside; yet I still need to look put together. These lightweight wide leg linen pants are perfect! They are super comfortable and easy to wear with different tops, shoes, and accessories for multiple looks. Love that!

This was the outfit I wore a few days ago to do some shopping in San Francisco, and to grab lunch with a couple of my friends. The outfit was super comfortable, and it was perfect for the warm weather.

Now that summer is in full swing, my fitness routine has been on track. I’m so excited to be able to announce I have already lost four pounds! Yay!!

Although my clothing sizes haven’t changed, I feel good knowing what I am doing is working. I have been getting in five workouts per week, and counting all of my calories in the MyFitnessPal app. I have also been trying to avoid sweets; although it’s hard with all the kids home from school in the summer. They love getting ice cream to cool down. I have to make sure I watch that; I really love ice cream!

This top is turning out to be my favorite summer tee. It’s a tee with a twist! It has all the comfort of a tee-shirt, without looking frumpy or basic. I love the little front twist. I paired it with my red earrings because I was starting to feel the 4th of July vibe. It also looks cute with white earrings, silver, gold, or rose gold. Love!

There are so many ways to wear this cute little tee. It looks great with shorts, denim skirts, white skirts, and casual trousers. The back of the shirt has a little bit of elastic which keeps the waist in place so it doesn’t flop wide like a crop top. It’s amazing that it is priced under $20! Love that detail!

Nautical stripes are so classic, and front twists are a hot summer trend. I love that this top features a classic stripe pattern with an on-trend twist. Are you wearing the twist tee trend this summer? What do you think of it?

Thanks for stopping by!
