There is so much money to be saved on the latest styles and looks that we HAD to share them with you. If you are looking to get something small like a new pair of denim shorts or something fancy like an elegant maxi dress, these sales have you covered!

There are two things that the Chicks can’t live without, maxi dresses and wrap dresses!! Both provide figure flattering looks that make a girl feel amazing!
Spring time is one of our favorite times to scoop up these looks because finding maxi wrap dresses is so much easier this time of year.
The last thing I want to think about when traveling is the stress of packing, and I like to pack light. As a mother of two, the time I spend choosing pieces to fit in my carry on can be exhausting. This year I wanted to invest in pieces that are versatile, yet chic. Who would have thought a simple duster would end up being that versatile piece I was looking for?! This ended up being the perfect accessory for my recent trip to Raleigh. I was able to pack my most versatile clothing, A LBD (little black dress), a swimsuit, and a skirt (shorts do not do any justice on me) to pair up with my duster.

Off The Shoulder Look
This print tho!
With my duster, I was able to cover up my swimwear by the pool and warm up by layering my duster in the evening when we went out to dinner. It also jazzed up my jeans and tank outfit!
My other favorite accessory to travel with is my Gucci belt; it definitely goes hand in hand with my duster. Whether it’s a quick luncheon with girlfriends or a MNO (mommies night out) I pair up my skinny’s with a cute tank and throw on my belt and a duster over the ensemble to give it that “extra touch.”
Date Night
My look for a sexy date night is pairing a solid tank dress with a print duster and Gucci belt to tie it all in. It’s amazing what adding a little something extra to a LBD can do.
I’m 5’4, 120 lbs and curvy in the right places. A duster not only completes my look, but covers me up in all the right places.
With florals literally EVERYWHERE this season, I stepped out of my comfort zone and scooped up this fun outfit! Come on ladies, Hillary Clinton can’t be the only one to rock a pant suit! What I love most about this outfit was that I was able to wear it more than one way. I’ve rocked it three ways so you can see how to maximize on one outfit!
If I must say so myself, this set from Akira is AH-mazing. For those of you who don’t know, Akira is a Chicago based boutique that has several locations all over the city and suburbs! This store truly has something for everyone – you just have to dig it out 🙂
Getting More Out of the Outfit
The set I am wearing is a size small jacket paired with a medium pant. You can wear the set with both the blazer and pants, or the pants with bodysuit, or just the blazer with jeans….it’s truly up to your imagination! Additionally, you can dress it up with stilettos or down with sneakers. Wearing something you feel good in makes it easy to find creative ways to wear something multiple ways! When I picked this up, I realized the entire outfit cost me around $140, but was worth every penny given that I could be worn 3 ways.
Hope you love this floral piece as much as I did! To shop this look or others, check us out on @liketoknow.it and see what other outfits might fit your fancy!
I recently attended the Atlanta Apparel trade show in Atlanta. A world class experience where boutique and business owners go to shop. It happens five times a year in order to showcase different seasons of fashion! This year on display were a few notable trends that you’ll start seeing as the season turns. With a few helpful tips by blogger and influencer Kathleen Barnes, I have compiled what I think are 4 things that you can easily add to your wardrobe to stay on trend, fun, and fashionable this Spring.
Pastel colors, particularly the pinks and purples, are the IT colors this Spring. It is a feminine tone that makes an outfit instantly feel elegant. This Free People top I am wearing has a lace covered cold shoulder that mixes a little bit of edge with lady-like detailing. I am wearing a size medium. This top is one of those versatile pieces… dress it up with some capri pants and stilettos or dress it down with jeans and sneakers.
Lavender is HOT this Spring!

Floral and Prints in General
There was clearly a pattern across all of the vendor booths: prints, prints, prints! In particular, florals were VERY popular on skirts, tops, blazers, dresses and pants. There is no doubt that Spring will bloom inside and outside of boutiques. This skirt I am wearing is MSGM is a size 6. The fit to flare look of this outfit is flattering for mom’s who are conscious of waistlines (I am also wearing my Spanx under this look). Throwing in a floral print can not only brighten an outfit but also your own mood.

Feathers
So this one is a little trickier for me. As a mom, I just could not find a practical way to incorporate a feather vest or skirt into my wardrobe – I just don’t see myself having the opportunity to rock those. BUT there are other ways to incorporate this trend through the use of accessories, from scarves to jewelry. I did find some cute accessories that would allow me to be ‘trendy’ without overspending. Check out some beautiful feather earrings that add just enough sass to a spice up a daytime or nighttime look.

Blazers
Casually or formally, there is clearly no right or wrong way to rock a blazer this Spring. This trend is one of my favorites – there are so many ways to wear them. The weather in the Spring can be unpredictable but a jacket may be too much. A blazer is the best way to layer and prepare you for some of the unexpected weather that comes with spring. My cami pictured below is reversible (cool, right? Two pieces for the price of one). Paired with my Hudson white bell bottoms, this look has Spring written all over it!

The only thing I had before I went to the tradeshow were blazers so adding some trendy pieces to my closet was fun. It helped to focus on bring new energy to my closet through the use of certain colors, prints, and textures.
