My Top 10 Picks + Summer Gingham

 Happy Saturday!  Gingham makes me think of summer picnics.  I found this cute gingham pinafore dress and ruffled gingham blouse and this cute skirt.  I pinned both of these looks, along with a few other cute summer plaid looks to my Pinterest board for style inspiration.  (The gingham dress on the left is from Shopbop.)

MY TOP WEEKEND PICKS

1. This shorter pleated skirt - looks great with a denim jacket - and is on sale for under $30.

2. These palm leaf pants look so comfy and are only $18.

3. I still like these $20 woven (and metallic) sandals.

4. This is the cutest off white bomber jacket that is gathered at the bottom. I noticed it online - and right way I went search to find out more about it - it is that cute!

5. A more business professional striped ruffle top that is not off the shoulder - but still fun.

6. I love these bold yellow ankle pants (that also come in more neutral colors, too). and are as low as $20.

7. This dressy biker jacket - would be the perfect dinner outfit.

8. This lacy off the shoulder blouse with gathered bell sleeve - is a great price!

9. This is a great easy, breezy swing dress that comes in the three best colors.

10. A pretty in pink layered chiffon blouse that is under $30.

Three Ways to Save on Summer Trends

THREE WAYS TO SAVE

1. Moto Jacket: Forever 21 (Only $20) // 2. Moto Jacket: Soia & Kyo // 3. Denim Mules: Forever 21

4. Denim Mules: Jeffrey Campbell // 5. Lace Top: H&M // 6. Lace Top: ASTR

If someone would ask me three big trends you need this summer - first, I would probably say a moto jacket (for layering over pretty much any look - for both practical (to stay warm) and stylish reasons (to look "cool"), next, would be a pair of mules (like these denim ones that are under $25), and lastly, a lace top (this tank option is under $25).  I probably should not admit it - but I own more than one moto jacket. I am typically cold most of the time, so a leather jacket is a stylish way for me to add an extra layer of warmth - while still looking trendy.  This one that I am sharing above is only $20 - and I have to say, I have been pretty impressed with the quality of their faux leather jackets in the past.

PINTEREST INSPIRED STRIPED DRESS + DENIM SHIRT

My friends over at The Blended Blog have started a new Wednesday fashion series - showing how our look was inspired by Pinterest. 

Today, I am sharing how Brighton's striped dress and denim shirt look inspired my outfit.  The dress I am wearing - I picked up at Forever 21 for $11 on a whim.  I was quickly walking through the store - and spotted the dress - and bought it.  I didn't even try it on.  I figured for $11 - if it didn't work - it wouldn't be a huge loss - and it was worth skipping the hassle of trying it on. (Do you ever feel that way?)  Lucky for me - it worked out perfectly. I have worn the dress several times - and I look forward to wearing it again this summer.

I shared another way to wear a striped dress with a cargo vest (also inspired by Pinterest) - and it is one of most popular posts.

WEDNESDAY SALE PICKS

Five Cute and Stylish Floral Outfits

Pink Peonies

When I think about a floral spring look, this look and floral Michael Kors skirt from a few years ago is one that always stands out in my mind. That skirt made an impact, and I love the mixing of the "casual" denim shirt with the dressy skirt.  This floral skirt from Rachel's collection is a perfect match to re-create the look, and this chambray shirt is under $25.

Atlantic-Pacific

I re-created this look a few weeks ago.  I love the mixing of a red floral dress with the cargo vest.  I found this cargo vest that comes in several colors and is under $35. And, if you like that red dress - it also comes in white version with black detailing.

Kendi Everyday

I love the look of a white blazer layered over the floral dress.  I picked up this white blazer a couple of weeks ago - and I love it.  I get compliments when I wear it.  This floral dress with a pleated skirt would look cute layered under a blazer.

Pink Peonies

Floral joggers are a great way to look both dressed up and comfy casual at the same time.  I found these joggers that are on sale for only $40.   And, I shared my top five picks for denim jackets under $50 here.

Lauren Kay Sims

This is the perfect summer outfit.  I found this cold shoulder floral romper and this racer back romper for under $40. And, paired with my favorite chunky heeled lace up sandals that are under $50.
