Simple Black

Posted by Rachel Ashley on Jun 13, 2013 in Fashionably Fashionable | 11 comments

It’s hot!!! Summer heat has definitely hit! When it comes to work clothes in the summer, I could live in dresses! It’s the only way to stay cool! I have had this cute dress from Old Navy for a while, but I spiced it up with my adorable look alike birkin bag and one of my fave wedges from Coach! I am excited to put on another dress tonight, as I was invited to a Gala Dinner for work, which I will come home and change into my BCBG Max Azria black and white dress (which I have never worn before). Make sure to come back to see that post soon! I hope everyone has had a great week thus far!

P.S. I am also linking up to first ever Fashion & Faith Style Post, so be sure to check out all the great outfit posts!

Sparkly Shoes

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! Monday always comes too fast, in my opinion! My life is always pretty busy, but I tend to like it that way, or I get bored real quick, just sayin’. The summer heat definitely hit this weekend too, which makes you want to stay inside where it is cool! My weekend consisted of spending time my hubby, teaching dance, working out (I started Turbo Fire this past week), picking up family from the airport, barbecuing, and church! Praying for a good week ahead! I hope you all have a great week too!

You may remember this outfit from last summer, see here, but I switched out the shoes, wore different sunnies and pulled my curly hair back! My mom bought me these adorable silver sparkly Bandolino shoes, that I feel like clicking my heels together and saying “there’s no place like home” – there so stick’in cute! Do you like sparkly shoes and do they make you feel like a princess? When I wear mine, I sure do!

Classic Navy

Happy Friday! This week has been a pretty slow and easy week, which is always a nice change, but I am always excited for a Friday! Plus, this weekend is a three day weekend. Yeah!

As most of you know, I absolutely love the color navy, I know I am repeating myself, but I really really do! There is something so classy about the color. Add a navy outfit with a few pearls and you have the perfect Jackie O. look! What I love, is you can take dresses like this, and wear them differently. I wore, this same dress going into the Fall last year, my hair was up and I had pointy nude heels on, see here. This time, I am going into Summer with wedges, a cute pair of sunnies, and chunky pearls. Which by the way, the necklace and earrings I am wearing are very special, because they were my Aunt Connie’s who just recently pasted away, read the story here. What are some of your favorite colors, or trends? Do you tend to always love a certain style? For me, I have pretty much always loved a very preppy style, but I do love to spice things up every now and again!

Maxi Love

Happy Thursday! We’re past the hump of the week. Summer, is usually my slow season at work, but I have been so busy in life, I haven’t really had time to notice. I love summertime though, because to me, summer means vacation, laying out by the pool and reading books and magazines, the beach and the pool, etc. I love summer, despite the extreme heat! But I also love summer for the clothes! You can’t wear too many layers, too much or anything heavy with 100 degree temps, but its still essential to look stylish and not show any sweat marks…lol. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I love maxi dresses! They are truly one of the most comfortable articles of clothing ever! When you live on the West Coast and its always sunny, and the temperatures surpass 100 degrees, maxi’s can be your best friend! This particular maxi, is a very light cotton and its in my fave color…orange! What is your favorite article of clothing when it starts to get warm outside? Do you love maxi’s as much as I do?
