There are great deals on dresses at The Limited (50% off), New York & Company (40% off), and Gap (30% off) today! Strapless dresses are always great for summer. They can be dressed up with heels and jewelry or dressed down for a more casual look with flats or sandals and a denim jacket. I also picked some lace and eyelet dresses, which are a trend this season. I particularly like the piped lace and crochet lace dress.

How to Wear: Stripes & Floral

1. Sabine Cabachon Floral Bib Necklace sold @ Piperlime
2. Grey Stripe Ponte Academy Blazer sold @ Gap
3. Recycled 1969 Sexy Boyfriend Jeans sold @ Gap
4. Nine West Goulding 3 Pump sold @ Piperlime

I have been thinking about this striped jacket at Gap (and this other one with neon coral stripes, too). I like the pop of the coral color under the lapel and on the cuffs. In putting this outfit together, I decided to pull in some of the other big trends this season with a floral statement necklace and some relaxed, rolled boyfriend jeans. And, for shoes, a classic black pump, but with an open side detail.

Lilac is a soft, pastel color that reminds me of spring and Easter. Here are a few purple finds… Also, be sure to check out some of the sales at New York & Company, Gap, and Old Navy. Also, Piperlime and Nordstrom always offer free shipping both ways.

I am looking forward to a sunny weekend! Have a great weekend.

Camouflage Skimmer

1. AE Faded Denim Jacket sold @ American Eagle Outfitters
2. Drop-Shoulder Linen-Blend Tees sold @ Old Navy
3. Meliss Sandal sold @ Nine West
4. Sabine Beaded and Metal Triple Row Necklace sold @ Piperlime
5. 1969 Printed Always Skinny Skimmer Jeans sold @ Gap

Camouflage print and Gap "the new skimmer" jeans seem to be a trend this spring, of which I own neither; however, if I was to purchase them, this is how I would style them. Also, last year, I purchased a denim jacket from American Eagle, and I love it! I had tried jackets from several different places and this one had the best fit and look. So, if you are looking for a denim jacket, I highly recommend giving this one a try.

If you are looking for other ways to style "the new skimmer" jeans - be sure to check out Rach @ Pink Peonies. She is also offering a chance to win a $50 American Express gift card.

One last thing, Gap has 30% off today (Code: GAPDRESS). Actually, it is 3 days of savings - 25% off tomorrow (Tuesday) and 20% off Wednesday!

Happy Monday! Hope you had a great weekend!

Fair Isle Sweaters

Fair Isle Sweaters are making their come back… which I am very excited about.

Option #1: I love this J. Crew sweater and its bold colors. To tie into the accent of blue in the sweater, pair with these great blue suede boots from Nine West. For a more neutral look, add black wedge suede booties.

Oakleigh Boot sold @ Nine West
Tweeks Wedge Booties sold @ Nine West
Fair Isle Ski Sweater sold @ J. Crew
Liverpool Jeans Company Abby Skinny Stretch Jeans sold @ Nordstrom

Option #2: I like this mix of yellow, green, and cream. For a pop of color, add red suede pumps or for a more neutral (and probably more comfortable) look pair with tan suede booties.
