Dress For Your Destination

Ready to be on vacation? Whether you vacation at home or head off to new places, here are some fashion trends and statement pieces that help elevate your wardrobe to being as vacation ready as you are!

Linen Vest and Trouser Set – Brings a carefree appeal and is still put-together enough to say that you have things to do and places to be.

Tropical Print Dress – You might not be headed to an island any time soon, but wearing floral print on vacation is always acceptable! Try pairing this print with a slicked-back bun, statement jewelry, and no black strappy heels to elevate it for a night out!

Halter Dress – Could work as a swim cover-up and as a beautiful dress for any occasion! All you need to add is heels and a clutch!

Jersey T-shirt Dress – One of my personal favorites! It can be worn for any occasion and is easy to dress up or dress down. It is lightweight and fuss-free; perfect for when the heat feels unbearable. It skims the body and is flattering to any figure.

Scarf Top – Talk about an everyday fashionable version of a bikini top! It’s appropriate if you’re out on the town or relaxing by the beach!

These are definitely must-have pieces for any fashionista’s summer wardrobe!

Fashion Headlines

Here are the top trending fashion headlines to be aware of!

“Ree Drummond’s new Pioneer Woman fashion line just Dropped” – If you like shopping for less when in a bind, most of us do not think of hitting up Wal-Mart, but now you might! The Pioneer Woman fashion line just dropped its Summer line and there are some good steals that you might want to add to your wardrobe!

“With my new summer apparel collection, I feel we have reached the perfect balance,” Drummond says in a statement shared with Shop TODAY. “There are bright, vivid prints the PW collection is always known for, but I mixed in plenty of solids and pretty knits this season to offer lots of versatility with your everyday wardrobe. The ruffles add a little bit of femininity, the crocheted trim adds a nice touch, but nothing is fussy at all. I love each and every piece!”
