What to wear to a summer BBQ

Follow Me on Pinterest
BBQ season is upon us and with Father's Day this Sunday there are I am sure going to be many BBQ's to celebrate the wonderful dad's in you life.  Below is a guide of what to wear to the summer BBQ's that everyone will be having throughout the summer.

  
Beach BBQ
If you are lucky enought to live near the beach you will I am sure be having a couple of beach BBQ's this summer.  Make sure to not to wear something too short as the wind is sure to blow by the sea.  A maxi dress is perfect.  It has an airy and beachy feel with out being able to be blown up by mother nature.  A longer knee length dress is also a great option one that is A-line and a heavier material.  




A Casual backyard BBQ
It is important to be comfortable at these BBQ's. Wear a fun casual dress with some cute flip flops or wedges.  Shorts are also a fantastic option to wear.  










Special Occasion BBQ
These BBQ's are typically for showers, receptions and parties.  You want to wear something that is appropriate for the occasion without being too dressy.  A fun and flirty striped dress with a full skirt would be perfect with wedges and a fun and colorful belt.  A strapless dress is also a great option. Make sure to grab a big sunhat and sunglasses to totally complete the look.

Follow Me on Pinterest
White Shorts are all the rage this season!  
Many people have asked me how to wear them.  Below I have quite a few examples of cute, classy and fun outfits with white shorts.  Some you can pair with a great pair of heels for a casual office look and others are perfect with a cute pair of TOMS or tennis shoes or even flip flops.

What to wear to a bridal shower.

Follow Me on Pinterest

Bridal shower attire 101 


The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and wedding season is upon us.  Along with wedding season is a whole slew of other events including bridal showers.  So many of us wonder what is appropriate to wear to a shower.  There are a few rules but mostly it depends on the location and events.  


Rule #1 Don't wear something that makes you the center of attention.  Let the bride be the center of attention.  


Rule #2  Try not to wear black.  Black is associated with loss and funerals in so many occasions.  Save the little black dress for a night out on the town or the Bachelorette party!


Rule #3  Don't wear white.  Let the bride be the only one in white if she chooses to wear white.  Think of the same rules that apply to the wedding.  


Rule #4  Wear something appropriate to the setting.  If for example you are going to high tea..  you probably don't want to wear something too short or too tight.  If it is a backyard party,  don't wear something too short and full just in case the wind comes up.  Dress for the occasion.  


Here are a few examples of dresses that would be appropriate for just about any shower.

Katie Holmes Chambray dress look for less!!!

Follow Me on Pinterest
Chambray is one of my favorite trends of the season!  What used to be just for a men's work shirt has become a fun and flirty trend.  My favorite is the chambray dress!  With it's light and airy fabric and versatile styling options this dress is a must have for your wardrobe.  Wear it with flip flops in the summer or tights and heels in the winter or fall.  Make it casual or professional with just a few accessories.
