The Most Versatile Summer Sandals

How to wear summer sandals

To splurge or not to splurge, that is the question, or at least that’s a question that I get asked from time to time. Can you splurge on fashion and still have an affordable wardrobe? If your budget allows it then, of course, it’s okay to splurge! Before you make a splurge purchase it’s important to think about the value that the item will hold in your wardrobe. If the value is high, meaning you will wear it all the time in multiple ways and it makes you feel good wearing it, then go for it!

Does your family do family photos in the fall? 🍂

We have never done family photos but every year I get asked for recommendations for affordable family photo outfits. I always think @oldnavy is a great place to find affordable family photo outfits. It’s easy to mix and match the colors and prints with your whole family. Plus they always are at great prices! 

Here’s what I tried on…
🍂V-neck sweater (small) This sweater is super soft and perfect to wear with skirts!
🍂Faux leather skirt (xs) This skirt is actually breathable and very comfortable! 
🍂Black slip skirt (xs) A slip skirt is on my wishlist for fall. It’s so versatile and cute! 
🍂 Burgundy floral midi dress (xs) I love the color and fit of this dress. The material is lightweight so it’s a perfect dress if you live somewhere warm. 
🍂Flatter sleeve midi dress (small)- I love the fit and flare style on this dress! 
🍂Square neck midi dress (xs) I actually really loved the style of this dress, despite the fact that you would need to wear a strapless bra with the dress!
