Friday Fashion Pick: A Chiffon Babydoll Dress

I love this dress because it's casual enough for a day date as well as dressy enough for a cocktail party. It's fun and flirty and gives you just the right amount of sex appeal without showing off too much. With a dress like this you should keep the accessories to a minimum like a bracelet.

Friday Fashion Pick: Baseball Game Date

It's inevitable you're going to get invited on a date to a baseball game (whether you're a fan or not). But the question that will probably come to mind next is "What am I going to wear?" That all depends on whether it's a day or evening game.

Day Game



For day you want to go casual but still showcase your style because you're on a date right. Keep it simple but not dull by pairing a day dress with a team hoody and flip-flops or cute flats. It's part boho and part sporty giving you that "I'm a low maintence kind of girl" (even if you're not) look. Just remember to keep the accessories to a minimal and carry a sleek black handbag or tote.

Night Game

















The evening gives you a chance to add a little more sex appeal but don't over do it. You want to wear an outfit that will feel comfortable during the game or after (you never know you may end up going out for dinner and drinks later on).

You want to look glamorous without it looking like you spent hours getting ready or that you are too high maintence to enjoy the game. To look sexy casual wear a sexy top and jean with comfortable heels and carry a clutch. Don't forget to take a jacket, the evenings are starting to get chilly.

Friday Fashion Pick: 3 Midsummer Outfits for 3 Occasions

Your summer schedule is packed with things to do, people to see and places to go and your wardrobe should reflect that. You never know what the day may bring, you should have something in your closet for almost every occassion for instance just incase you're invited to an imprompto summer wedding.

Building a versatile wardrobe doesn't me going out buying a lot of clothes, just buy basic staple pieces you can mix and match that will give you lots of options to create different looks. Then sprinkle your wardrobe with a few special occasion pieces such as the important date dress, the interview suit, etc.

Below are three summer outfits for three general occasions:

Movies with the Girls







































Hanging with your girls is usually a relaxing experience and hitting the movies shouldn't be any different. Instead of just throwing on whatever, pair a flowy top with a great pair of jeans. Even though it's a casual night out, you never know who you might bump into. You want to look nice but not look like you're trying too hard.

Brunch with Parents


















Wearing something ladylike will subtly give your parents the impression that you are fairing well in the big city or where ever you moved to after college. The outfit shouldn't say, "I spent all night partying and this is the only thing I had energy to put on", the outfit should say that "I enjoy our weekly or monthly Sunday brunches together so much that I put in effort to look nice just for you". Pair a sleek cardigan over a tank and flowy skirt for that casual superchic refinement.

Embroidered Swing Skirt $24.80 Forever21



Date Night


A red dress is classic femme fatal and will keep all eyes on you but most importantly your date's. The message will translate as your daring and simply irresistible. It's easy to just put on a sexy top with pants or jeans but that's too easy. Take a risk and ditch the date 'uniform' and wear an undeniable sexy red dress.
