Easy Summer Style

Easy Summer Style - An embroidered off the shoulder top and denim shorts for under $70

My go to ensemble this time of year (if you haven't already noticed), is an off the shoulder shirt and a pair of denim cutoffs. It's an effortless way to look cute and stay cool in the summer time! I just got this off the shoulder top and have already worn it a few times! I love the flowy sleeves and pretty embroidery! It also comes in black and is just $20...a perfect summer steal! Speaking of great deals, these shorts are only $48 and I have been wearing them non-stop! They have a higher waist line and just the right amount of distressing!

Summer Staples

Today's post is in collaboration with Nordstrom. All opinions are my own! 
Summer Essentials - pair a white tank and denim with a kimono
 Look 1: Tank, also love this one // Kimono // Shorts // Necklace // Clutch // Sandals 
Look 2: Top // Shorts // Shoes // Earrings // Bag 

I am excited to share not one but two looks with you today! Summer is around the corner and it's time to start stocking up on summer essentials! I have a few repeat offenders when it comes to my summer wardrobe! First and foremost, a great white tank. These are easy to throw on and look great with anything. My two personal faves are this one that is easy to dress up and this super comfy option at a great price point. Next is a colorful kimono. There is no easier way to look effortless than by pairing denim and a tank with a kimono. I also love a pretty white top, something that can be dressed up for date night or dressed down for running errands. My pick this year is this gorgeous cold shoulder crochet cutie. My #1 summer essential though? A great pair of denim cutoffs! 

I am always on the hunt for the perfect denim cutoffs! A flattering fit with just the right amount of distressing is what wins me over every time! It doesn't hurt when the price point is sweet either! On a recent hunt for denim shorts, I happened across the Nordstrom trend section and found SO many great options! I actually ended up ordering a few pairs because many of them were under $50! I planned on trying them at home and sending back the ones that didn't work anddd ended up keeping them all. No surprise there! 

If you are on the hunt for a perfect pair of denim cutoffs, check out some of my favorites from Nordstrom below! I love that I can always find something I love at any price point and the quality can't be beat!

Hey friends! 
I've been MIA this week dealing with the craziness that is the end of the school year. We have 18 days left and I still have SO much to do! My day consists of getting up at 5am, getting to work by 6:45am, leaving school around 3:30ish (depending on the day) running errands and then plopping down in front of my computer to work on my pro-teach portfolio (a teacher re-certification process). I am already dreaming of my lazy summer days ahead! 

I've share this cutie top on instagram a few times! I love the pretty pink, the detailing on the top and the little ruffle on the sleeves. It's perfect for this time of year when the weather is all over the place! Pair it with jeans for a chillier spring day and swap them out for shorts when the weather is warmer!

Summer Trend: Off the Shoulder

Off the shoulder palm print romper
Look 2:  Striped Pom Top // Denim, also love these // Drop Earrings // 

As trends come and go, there is one trend I am excited to see sticking around...off the shoulder! While I love a good off the shoulder top year round, there is nothing better than baring a little shoulder in the summer time. It's a great way to show off that sun-kissed skin without showing too much, and as popular as it has become, there are SO many options for great off the shoulder pieces! 

I always find my cutest off the shoulder pieces in the trend section at Nordstrom! I love that they have a wide variety of unique off the shoulder picks that don't break the bank! They add new arrivals daily, so I have plenty of options and am always adding to my online cart! 

I recently picked up two new off the shoulder pieces that are perfect for summer! You might remember this romper from a few posts back. I was so in love with the fit, that I had to pick it up in this fun palm print, which screams summer (it comes in a midi dress and slip dress too!). Pack it for a beach vacay or wear it to run errands, it's an easy, breezy piece for those hot summer days! 

This top rolls two fun trends into one...off the shoulder and poms! It's great for pairing with jeans or shorts and is only $35, which is such a steal!! It also comes in the cutest black and white gingham print!

Check out a few other off the shoulder pieces I am loving!
