How to Wear This Comfortable Turtleneck Dress 2 Easy Ways

Today I'm going to show you how to wear this Maeve Turtleneck swing dress from Anthropologie (on major sale btw) two easy ways. It's so soft (I was reading the reviews and someone said they must be using witchcraft to make it so soft) and comfortable you are going to want to wear it all the time so your going to need all the ideas you can get. And maybe even get it in a few different colors too!

I am loving my new Adidas superstar classic sneakers. I was on backorder for them since Thanksgiving but they finally arrived and were well worth the wait. They got a ton of compliments when we were out to dinner. Once a classic, always a classic!

My Rebecca Minkoff "Love" Cross body is a total staple in my closet. It works with dressy outfits or casual ones like this. It's quite the powerhouse and worth the money. 

I love how my yellow  J. Crew Cocoon coat always stands out and never blends in. I'm a big believer in statement making winter coats.

This next look is an idea how to wear this dress when the weather warms up a bit. Just because its a turtleneck, doesn't mean its too thick or warm.  However the addition of the infinity scarf adds a little warmth. Even a light weight spring scarf (love this one) would look great attached around the neck of this dress or on your handbag.

The pony tail adds a playful fun touch. Sorry mine is so tiny, I don't have much length. I also added my new favorite hot pink lip color, "Jelly Donut" by Too Faced!

Swing Dress

Dress: H&M  (very similar)//  Bracelet: Ann Taylor // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Jules Satchel c/o Shopbop // Heels: Kate Spade (similar) // Sunglasses: LOFT // Necklace: Vintage

Swing dresses and trapeze style dresses and tops are all over for fall and I couldn't be happier about the trend.  When back to school times come (shhhh, don't say it out loud) I'll be needing all the comfortable yet professional dresses I can get. This blousy silhouette is perfect for a busy lifestyle. 

I've been filling my closet up in preparation.  One easy base layer I found was this one for just $10 bucks from Forever21! I also got this amazing one from Aritzia! As for the shirt version of this silhouette, I fell instantly in love this swingy floral top and am waiting for a sale so I can pick it up in green too.

What are your thoughts on this swing trend? You in favor of the comfy flowiness or is it too loosey goosey for you?

Striped Duet Dress and a List

I'm back! Back from Vegas, vacationing with my family and back to blogging! I have missed Hot pink style but it was also really refreshing to take a break. I have so many shopping related things to share I don't know where to begin. And when that happens I make a list so here it is.

*This dress I'm wearing (it's on sale too): I Got it in Vegas and I feel it's just one of those easy breezy summer dresses. It was perfect to wear to Market Days in Lakeview Saturday night to see Belinda Carlisle! She was my favorite when I was a kid. Right up there with Huey Lewis and Debbie Gibson.

*This peplum top: I don't own a single thing in this shade of bright turquoise! Even my 6 year old niece who went shopping with me at Caesars Palace Forum shops liked it. How do I say no when even she is impressed?

*These lip colors: NYX is a brand I'd never tried before but for 6 bucks a pop I gave them a whirl. I got this hot pink called Razzle which I'm wearing in the pictures below. The color is so saturated yet moisturizing. It also is so long lasting I woke up with a hint of it still on my lips. I also got Hot Tamale which is a perfect orangy red that you can see on me here. And last but not least this matte color called Bloody Mary which is a dark pinky red that looks like you just bit into a raspberry.

*This blog: Emily won me over with this dress in this post, and then I had to buy it for myself...

*This dress: This BCBG dress you may have seen on Gal Meets Glam, and our own Chicago girl Liz from Sequins and Stripes in blush pink. I found it in bright orange (much more my speed) on sale for 50% off in Vegas and had to snap it up!

*This sweater: Finally I have something to reference for my black blanket sweater I always get asked about. PS, Daily Look's web site is awesome! How/why did I not know this?

*These earrings: Just get a pair. They are going to be on everyones earlobes come Fall so get them now! 

*My summer job: I'm busy with a few new clients and it's always fun to shop as a job! Even if it's not for me. 

Ok, that's it for now. I'll be back to regularly scheduled posts this week so see you right here tomorrow!
