Lately, Sonia and I have been playing around with our wardrobes.  We’ve been trying to introduce colors and fabrics that we traditionally don’t grab for.  More than ever when we head out for a “mom off duty” moment we like to wear something that makes us feel like we take our time seriously.  Little touches like a statement clutch or earrings can make it look like you spent that extra five minutes thinking it through.  It’s not always about how much you spend on those extra touches, but how you wear them that can give you that extra “put together” look.

A few weeks ago we shared our love of wrap dresses and how practical they are.  There is something about the warmer weather that keeps us wearing dresses all summer long, so naturally we love sharing our latest finds!

When we saw this lace off the shoulder maxi dress, we knew it was different from anything we’ve have worn in the past.  The color and fabric were two “out of the box” picks for us.  After trying it on, the fit was so incredible we knew we had to have it.  Reaching for something non-traditional to your taste can really help you redefine the way you dress!  Remember it’s how you wear the outfit that exudes the confidence so make sure you are 100% comfortable in it!  I felt like a million dollars in this fun piece…can’t you tell looking at these pics?

Off the shoulder looks are everywhere to help you beat the heat, check out some our favorites here.

Quick tip: don’t skip out on the accessories! Statement clutches are a little way to add a pop of color! Having several fun colors on hand helps when you are finishing a quick fun afternoon or evening look (remember they don’t have to break the bank). My double ring is one of those that pieces that I have gotten dozens of compliments on; they have it several different color combinations too!

Hopefully this reminder to mix things up and try something new that inspires you to head out for the next sale at your favorite store (in our case, Akira).  Also, don’t forget to mess around with current pieces in your closet that have been collecting dust.  I think you would be surprised what you can put together!

Your Chick,
