The Line By K (When It’s Hot)

As time goes by, I become more and more a fan of clean silhouettes and simplistic style. Of course I’ve stated this more than once before but it deserves a mention since I will be mentioning one of my new fave clothing lines, The Line by K. “K” is actually famous style blogger Karla Deras. Her clothes boast simple yet chic designs, made to accentuate the natural shape of the lady wearing each piece!

I had previously seen her pieces around the internet and my interest was piqued. At the time however, my body was NOWHERE near where I wanted it to be. I’m still definitely a work in progress but I am much more satisfied now with how my purchase from (The Line by K) fit. I grabbed her dress. It’s a button down design that is micro ribbed. This dress is very easy to style because it has sophistication and it’s perfect for casual events. Just add a clutch and minimalist heels for a complete look!

What I wanted to wear was a pair of leopard print heels and a light pink clutch. Both accessories are a good neutral against the aqua of this dress. Although the pink adds an additional pop of color and the shoes a bit of wildness with the print, they are both relatively neutral because they wouldn’t detract from the appeal of the dress. Instead I wore dark nude simple heels and no bag because it’s so hot and humid. I added a simple gold statement necklace and gold hoop earrings. A look fit for many occasions! Don’t forget to click the links to find items from my look! I don’t get paid, I promise I’m just being a good connect lol.

www.Birthofafashionblogger.com Collab: (How To) Summer Dresses 

It’s unofficially summer time and I was graced with an invitation to join Chanda from over at www.birthofafashionblogger.com to join her in a collaboration. Of course, I accepted! I love her blogging style and her blog is amazing, not to mention, have you seen her style?! So fabulous darling! My favorite look has to be the one where she wore a green floral print dress and no, I never forget a great outfit. If you have a chance to check out her blog, please do. She’s also a mommy and wife like I am, (she lives in Michigan too) and a Youtuber who does great styling videos…I LOVE her haul look books!! I’m joining her in sharing how to style a maxi dress. You can check out her post HERE. In the meantime, get a peek of her look below.



I love her look because it’s so effortlessly chic. I promise we didn’t plan to wear the same color but hey, you know what they say about great minds lol. This beautiful lady always wears fabulous looks and this time is no different. My FAVORITE part of her look is the actually two things lol, (because I couldn’t pick just one) is her dress paired with her handbag. Both are are so modern and classy. The black in the bag works perfectly making the normally neutral safari green pop! By the way, I don’t know about you but I’m going to go ahead and grab the same handbag in that black color!


Her outfit details:

Dress: (similar). Handbag: Francois by Justfab. Shoes: Charlotte Russe. Necklace: old. 



Initially, I was going to style another dress but due to real life and mishaps lol, I opted for this dress as a great alternative and it worked out even better! I grabbed a nude tank dress and layered underneath a safari green crochet maxi. Now, I like this look because it offers an immediate day-to-night outfit in one. If you are out for the day (and then onto get drinks after five), you can easily just take the crochet dress right off. The nude dress acts not only as a base for the crochet dress but also for an additional look! No dramatic changing needed. The nude gives off an illusion and the crochet offers a laid back beachy detail that can be worn around town as well.

I paired the dress with a large straw bag that boasts colorful accents and enough room to carry essentials to freshen up and also can hold the clutch to be worn for the going to grab drinks. My shoes are snakeskin printed high heels. They add that bit of “wild factor”. My jewelry is slightly glam, my necklace is a statement necklace. My bangles are glam and boho to allow a smooth transition into an after five look. I didn’t show the dress underneath simply to focus on the daytime look but offering a benefit of the layering in this look could be a big help for those on vacation this summer.

I’m wearing stud gold earrings, shaped like diamonds. Again, offering day to night benefits. My hair is an easy breezy bun for that same reason. Anyhoo, let me know if you liked my look. Don’t forget to check out Chanda’s look!

Happy Friday loves! 💋
