Some of us have already started the school year, and some of us have the start date quickly approaching. Regardless, we are all … Read More

Flare Jeans + Off the Shoulder Top

Today I’m sharing two old trends I love that have come back around: flare jeans and off-the-shoulder tops! Flares with heels or wedges give girls the opportunity to sport something other than skinny jeans. Let’s face it – if you’re like me, there are days you just don’t want to squeeze into your skinnies, lol! Off-the-shoulder tops are such feminine pieces. If you find just the right one, … Read More
