There are certain fashion pieces that never go out of style; a black crossbody bag, cat-eye sunglasses, stripes and day dresses. During the summer, especially, day dresses evoke a world of their own. You can get away with a rotation of them weekly, based on the shoe you pair it with, and you can transition them from day to night easily. From red and frilly, to dotted and ruffled, here are some of our favorite day dress picks this season.

Blogger Style: 2 Ways To Layer A T-Shirt

Layering t-shirts are not a new idea, but a redone one. Back in the day (and even currently, for some) baby tee's, often band shirts or concert merchandise, were layered over long sleeved shirts and worn with some broken-in jeans. If you're feeling nostalgic, look no further. Camille Charriere wore a simple gray tank over a simple white t-shirt and paired it with gray linen pants and chunky sandals. In her next outfit, she jazzed it up a bit and slid an ornate, ruffled maxi dress over another white t-shirt. Two perfect looks, one stylish lady.
