For our first look these lovely ladies are all wearing cream dresses from different stores for a very mix matched look that is still cohesive. Dresses from TjMaxx, Shop Dress Up and

Floral Kimono styled three different ways!!!

Is it a robe? Is it a Cape?

No it's a kimono!

The kimono is one of this summers most coveted trends and to be honest I was a little reluctant to try it. So I took the plunge and bought this navy and neon floral kimono from Shop Dress Up for a steal at $32 and styled it three ways!

Casual American Eagle under $40

My day to day summer look is pretty casual. From meeting clients to running around on a photo shoot I need to be cool and have clothes that are comfortable and that I can move freely in! I have a new found LOVE for American Eagle! Yes I am a risk taker and like to go for the trends aka coveralls ;) but AE has so many awesome basics at AMAZING prices. They are also spot on for accessories! Here are two looks I put together with items under $40!!!
