Green Jeans & Lace Cami

by Rachel McCarthy
Lace Cami Green Jeans Outfit
Happy Thursday, friends! The long holiday weekend is within reach now! I know it’s not even July yet, and you all are probably going to hate reading this, but I have already started to plan my fall wardrobe. Fall is by far my favorite season and by the time July rolls around, I am tired of the heat and humidity and ready for the cooler, fall temperatures. Of course, I do love fall clothes, too!

Red Hot July

by Rachel McCarthy
Summer Red Outfit Inspiration @rachmccarthy7
Maybe it’s because the Fourth of July is next week, but I have been all about red lately. It’s a color that I like to wear, but don’t have a ton of it in my closet. Summer is the perfect time to break out this bright hue {or even add it to your closet!} especially with Fourth less than a week away!

I Love My Dog

I Love My Dog Sweatshirt

Happy almost Friday, friends! Graphic shirts have been all the rage but I really haven’t jumped on this “trend train” until recently. My first real graphic tee was this blonde tee that I shared in this post a few months ago. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of plastering brand names and logos all over my clothing and accessories and I think that is probably why in the past I have shied away from this trend. But, when a saying has a special meaning to me or is completely and totally relatable, I wear it loud and proud! Needless to say this particular sweatshirt couldn’t be more perfect.

Happy Summer, friends! With the first official day of summer, I wanted to kick off the new season with a round-up of my top summer must-haves under $50! These are a few fun and trendy, yet staple pieces that you will be able to wear all summer long.
WHITE OFF THE SHOULDER DRESS ($29.99): A little white dress (LWD) is a closet essential each summer. But, since the off the shoulder style is so trendy this summer, you can kill two birds with one stone in this dress. And the best part: white dresses are super easy to style by changing out accessories. You can make it look like a different dress each time you wear it!

FLOPPY STRAW HAT ($29): Whether you have summer vacation plans or just spending time at the pool this summer, wordplay straw hats are all the rage! Straw hats are my go-to when I’m sitting by the pool. This hat will not only keep the sun off your face but will have you feeling oh so stylish, too!

TASSEL DROP EARRINGS ($38): It’s no secret I love a good statement earring. Typically, I’m partial to fringe so when I saw these tassel drop earrings in the beautiful shades of blue, I knew I had to share it with you. Tassel earrings are the perfect summer accessory and instantly add a layer of fun to your look. How cute would they look with THIS white off the shoulder dress?!

KNOTTED FLIP FLOPS & GOLD JELLY FLIP FLOPS (both $49.95): I live in flip flops during the summer {when I’m not at work} so I couldn’t help but share two styles for summer. I saw THESE knotted flip flops a few weeks ago and they are selling fast! They are such a fun twist on the standard flip flop, it’s no wonder they are from one of my favorite shoe designers! As for the jelly flip flops, I already have these in two colors {black and ivory} and I’m considering purchasing another. Perfect for a day by the pool, I even wear them around the house or when I’m running errands. I highly recommend these!
 
MORE SANDALS UNDER $50
 
 
SWING CAMI ($25): This might just be the top item on my wish list for summer! We have been having some seriously warm temperatures already and I’ve been searching for cool tops. This cami comes in 15 colors {neutrals and brights!}, is priced at $25 and would be easy to wear by itself with shorts or jeans or under a sweater or jacket on cooler days. This is definitely a closet must-have!
 
MORE TOPS UNDER $50

 




COLD SHOULDER GINGHAM DRESS ($39.99): Gingham has always been one of my favorite patterns for spring and summer {last summer’s gingham dress HERE} and I love the added cold shoulder style on this one. Dress it up with sandals for date night or down with sneakers for a BBQ. This is one sundress you need for summer!

WHITE DENIM SKIRT ($34.99): I have been searching for a white denim skirt since the beginning of spring and have yet to find one I loved. That is until I spotted this one earlier this week! You can’t beat this price point, either. Pair this skirt with the swing cami from above or any other top for a cute summer outfit.

ANGULAR AVIATOR SUNGLASSES ($12): I always love finding cute, trendy sunglasses and when I spotted these for only $12, I knew I had to include them in today’s post. I love the designer look-alike style and of course the rose gold color. This updated aviator style is a fun shape to wear all summer long!

Floral Cold Shoulder(ish)

by Rachel McCarthy
floral ruffle top

 This floral top has been on serious repeat this spring and summer. You may remember when I styled it HERE with a navy blazer during the cooler months and now it’s been my go-to top to wear with white jeans. I wore this top while in California and actually skipped the cold shoulder feature. But when I wore it this past weekend, I styled it as it was intended, with the cold shoulder!Read More

 Happy almost Friday, friends! I feel like these weeks are flying by more quickly each month. I guess we should call it off the shoulder/one shoulder week here on ABM because another day brings another “shoulder show” dress. I had been saving this one for our trip to California and lucky for you, it’s now on sale! Read More

Off the Shoulder Navy Dress

by Rachel McCarthy
Off the Shoulder Midi Dress

 Happy Monday, friends! Sharing another look from our time in California today and this is one of my new favorite off the shoulder dresses. I’ve worn it to a few functions over the spring — it may look familiar if you follow along on Instagram because I wore it to my cousin’s college graduation last month. The off the shoulder style and midi length make for a cool and comfortable dress that can be worn all summer long!Read More
