Can’t Stop the Feeling: What to Wear to a Concert

Two weeks ago, I headed to Lexington for the Justin Timberlake concert.  It was actually my first time seeing him and 100% lived up to the hype.  Lately, I’ve been feeling like I need to work on getting more going out type clothes, but I managed to throw together an outfit with pieces already in my closet.

TAG – you’re it! One Shoulder for Summer

You guys, I have a confession to make.  I am constantly riding the struggle bus!  Last week completely kicked my tail, so over the weekend I caught up on sleep and stopped looking at my email inbox.  Admittedly, it was kind of amazing to give myself that level of grace.  And what does a laid-back weekend call for?  Well a laid-back weekend outfit, of course.  I’m still loving all things one shoulder for summer & broke out this top with some comfortable shorts.

While I know lots of people hate the heat of summer, I’ve always loved the bold colors, fun textures and embellishments that come with summer fashion.  And that’s why this off the shoulder, pom pom dress from Adorabelles was a no brainer for me.  I mean rainbow pom poms? Sign a girl up STAT.

Pleats and Thank You to the Maxi; How to Wear a Bodysuit

The bodysuit is BACK, y’all.  I won’t front; I fought this trend because I hate the idea of inevitably having to get naked just to go to the bathroom, but bodysuits with snaps have redeemed this trendy item.  I’m sharing how to wear one for the summer months ahead with a pleated maxi skirt.

Graduating to the Next Level of Style with Francesca’s

{This post is sponsored by Francesca’s!  Thank you for supporting the brands that allow me to pursue What Nicole Wore.  All opinions shared are my own.}

This time of year can be so busy with end of the school year, graduations, Memorial Day weekend — the list goes on!  For me, one of the ways I’ve learned to stop overextending myself is to figure out my one-stop shops and knock everything off my to-do list in one swoop.  That’s one of the reasons I love shopping at Francesca’s; no matter what outfit I’m looking for or which friend or family member is on my gift list, I know I’ll be able to find an item that’s just what I need.

Today, I’m sharing the pleated skirt that’s perfect to wear to graduation.

What to Wear to Graduation: Pleated Skirt
