While I wouldn’t describe my style as basic, there are some classic pieces that I love. This white lace top falls right into that category as the styling options range from casual to fancy with this number.
Last month, I did some major shopping at the Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass and added some fun new pieces to my closet – including this fun flamingo top. One thing about outlet finds is that you’re finding something that isn’t as widely available. This flamingo top is sold out online, but I’ve linked it {and the matching ankle pants — see how Tif styled them here!} in case you want to try and track it down at your outlet center! We all know I have a ton of clothing so while I didn’t need anything, I did focus on buying some new pieces to take me through spring and summer.
Once spring hits, I’m all about the brights so this magenta dress from Dixieland Boutique was a MUST HAVE for me. The trendy piece features ruffles on the cold shoulders, is lightweight enough to wear during the random heatwaves and will translate well into summer.

Ladies we have to talk. Come summertime, gingham becomes my print of choice. So it wasn’t shocking at all, when this gingham bow blouse made its way into my shopping cart. With three bows across the back, the top gives a twist to the traditional gingham button down and is breezy enough for summer.
You all Derby weekend starts today! I’m headed to the track today for Thurby — follow along over on my Instagram Story.

Most of these dresses are perfect for the summer occasions you may have coming up: weddings, Mother’s & Father’s Day brunches, etc.
