LITTLE WHITE DRESS

Move over, little black dress because this little white dress is here to stay!

A simple little white dress should be a staple piece in every girl’s closet. It is incredibly versatile and it’s a great way to amp up your summer style.

I personally own a few white dresses, but they are all very different. This little white dress was a recent purchase from one of my many online finds. Again, I took a risk and it was well worth it. I guess you can say I’m a gifted online shopper. Ah, who knew I had such talent. ;)

As you already know, I’m a big fan of dresses. They’re light, breezy and easy! Plus, this dress can go from beach-time to brunch-ready with a simple change of shoes. I added a pop of color and a light denim jacket — giving this simple look a stylish pop of flair. (Oh, and yes after a long hunt…. I found the perfect light denim jacket, and it was only $34! Thanks Old Navy!)

AFFORDABLE ONLINE STORES

After realizing how much I shop at Zara, I decided to take a small break from malls and other large retailers. I wish I could tell you that I haven’t shopped all month, but that would be a lie.

However, what I can tell you is that I’ve found quite a few affordable online stores. Not on purpose, I just happen to stumble upon them while browsing the internet and working from home.

Actually, for those of you that didn’t know, I’m officially a full-time blogger!

It’s been about a month since I decided to step down from my job at Christ Journey. I have a few fun projects lined-up, can’t share them just yet – but soon enough I’ll spill the beans. Promise. Anyway, in the meantime I’m also doing a little freelance writing and brand consulting.

I’m not sure how I feel about the whole “working-from-home” part, just yet. I’m very much a social being, therefore, human-interaction is pivotal. ;)

But, on yucky cloudy days that prevent me from working out of a coffee shop, I find myself taking breaks and browsing the web — finding tons of affordable online stores. You know, do a little work, take a little break, browse. Yikes! What have I gotten myself into?

The good news, is that they are actually super affordable! Here are a some of my finds…

I must admit, I’ve always been a little hesitant to shop online. I’m a feel and try-on kind of shopper. A few days back, I took a chance on a few items, and so far so good. I’ll let you know what I think as the other pieces arrive. For now, here’s a look at my first order.

MONOCHROMATIC SUMMER WHITES

In the midst of all the print craze… Today, I decided I needed a visual break from colors, patterns and all things bright! Therefore, I decided to pull out the classic monochromatic summer whites!

Yes, yes, I know it may seem too “matchy-matchy” to wear the same color, but this monochromatic style is almost an effortless way to look stylish this summer. While the trend of wearing one color is easy on the eyes, it actually isn’t as easy to pull off. For starters, piecing a top/bottom and finding the exact shade of a color can be quite a challenge. Even for white!

So, here are a few tips that can help you as you try this monoch summer whites or any other monochromatic trend:

Find a suitable color for your skin tone and body type
When using bright colors mixing hues is appropriate and even fun
Blending fabrics and textures can add interest to your look
(I did it with today’s look and it helped with color matching)
Denim on denim is perfectly permissible

Basically, when it comes to creating a monochromatic look, your possibilities are endless. So have fun with it and be brave! Happy Monday!
