One Shirt, 3 Ways to Wear It
There’s nothing better than being able to mix and match your the clothes in your wardrobe in order to get the most use out of all your purchases. Right now, most stores are featuring similar color schemes for summer which means you are at an advantage! Feel free to play around with different color pairings from multiple retailers to find looks that really represent you and the look you’re going for. I had a blast making multiple outfits with this one cami and I could have come up with at least 5 more ways to wear it! This first look would be great for work! Throw on a blazer and some heels and…

Playing with Solid Colors
skirt//denim top//sunglasses//necklace//heels//bag Sarah: Do you remember using Playdough when you were a kid? All those bright colors layered on top of each other to create an artistic masterpiece! (Or, if you were anything like me, something that looked like a cross between a caterpillar and a dog…!) Despite my non-existent sculpting talents, this love of mixing and matching bright colors stuck with me and is one of my favorite things to do with clothes. Layering solid colors is a great way to build a unique look that is all your own. When wearing multiple monochrome items, don’t be afraid to add lots of different textured fabrics and prints to add dimension to your…

Get Ready for Wedding Season
Dress//Shoes//Bracelet Sarah: Summer is the time for going to the beach, sipping an ice-cold drink, and…weddings! This summer I’m joining the throngs of brides-to be along with several of my best friends. With my wedding only 2 months away (actually 59 days but who’s counting…) I am constantly on the lookout for potential shower and rehearsal outfits. White isn’t a must for these events but I think it’s fun to start testing the white wardrobe waters in preparation for the big day! Luckily white is in for this summer (all hail the LWD). From jumpsuits to sundresses you are sure to find the right choice for you. This outfit featured below is a gorgeous…

Bright as the Sun Styles
dress/shoes/earrings/purse It’s SUMMER!!! (Well, almost) But it sure does feel like it! Which means it’s the season for colorful statement pieces to really brighten up your wardrobe and get yourself into a sunshiny state of mind. I’ve been absolutely loving this vibrant shade of yellow lately so I decided to dive in head first and bring some super sunny pieces into my wardrobe. Here are some of my faves! This yellow dress is one of the most comfortable, flattering wrap dresses I’ve ever had. The ruffled V-neck is so pretty and feminine and the wrap lets you shape it to your own proportions. I’m in love! This mustard colored, breezy cardigan is so…

Teachers Love Loft & Loft Loves Teachers
Top//Sunglasses//Necklace//Shorts//Clutch Sarah: As a teacher about to enter into the glory days of summer I am ready to sit back, relax with a good book (and a mojito), and treat myself after all of this year’s hard work! (Can I get an amen?!) What better way is there to settle into summer than by going on a little shopping spree? Well, before you head out to the mall you should know that some stores want to reward teachers for everything they do by offering discounts. Loft has been offering a teacher discount for years! Why? Because they know just how hard we work for our students and how quickly we go through clothes…

Rompers for Your Summer Getaway
Confession time: I used to hate rompers. As a petite lady I have a hard enough time finding tops and bottoms that fit separately much less when they’re sewn together. I told everyone who would listen that there was no way that my inch long torso would ever fit, much less look sophisticated in a romper. But guys, I was SO wrong! Because Loft exists (cue heavenly music) and other amazing clothing lines that know how to flatter their petite gals! These rompers don’t just fit, they’re stunning. And the best part–it’s an entire outfit in one piece! They’re just as comfortable as lounging around in your PJ’s all day but look dressy…

Polka Dots For Spring
Polka dot dress // Sunglasses//Necklace// Sarah: If there’s one thing that’s a perfect mix of classic style and patterned-flare, it’s polka dots. Polka dots are playful but classy and are a huge trend in stores right now with the upcoming warm weather. Andrew and I went to the Grand Rapids Downtown Market this weekend and took a walk through their upstairs greenhouse. This polka dot dress was breezy and super comfortable for a 95° F day! (Hello crazy Michigan weather!) If you shop at Loft you will see a huge variety of polka dot summer essentials from shorts to dresses in sizes 00-26. Whatever your polka dot needs, you’re sure to…
