Thrifted Trends: How To Wear A Tulle Skirt

Tulle skirts are so feminine, unexpected and a statement piece that turns heads. However, if styled wrong, the look can go from stylish to looking like a costume. I scored this navy tulle skirt from Goodwill North Georgia Johns Creek. Because the skirt is so volumnious, I paired it with a fitted white tee-shirt. My green Steve Madden stilletos add a little grown and sexy to complement the look.

Stylish Review: The 3rd Annual Derby Brunch Hatwalk

  
On Saturday, I had the pleasure of attending the 3rd Annual Derby Brunch Hatwalk® at Villa Christina in Dunwoody. The Derby Brunch Hatwalk is an annual charity event that brings women of all walks of life together to celebrate sisterhood and service, and fellowship in high style by paying homage to the tradition of the Kentucky Derby. Ladies strut their fabulous hats on the Hatwalk and compete for special prizes. All proceeds from the Derby Brunch Hatwalk benefit T.R.I.P. (Travel. Rebuild. Inspire. Progress), a national non-for-profit organization that helps to rebuild and revitalize communities of color across the country. Check out the photos below from the event!

Thrifted Trends: Spring 2013 Bermuda Shorts and Shorts Suit

Blazer- Gifted by Stacey Kay of Parlor City Vintage/ Shorts & Blouse- Goodwill North GA- John's Creek/ Shoes- Steve Madden 

This spring say goodbye to booty shorts and hello to longer length bermuda shorts. Come to think about it, the last time I wore this blazer HERE, I paired it with some teenie weenie shorts. I won't be doing that anymore..LOL.. Don't get me wrong, I am still going to bare my legs this season, but not as much. I will leave that look for the tweens and teens. Don't forget the best place to score this trend is your local thrift store!

The great thing about Bermuda shorts is they are very forgiving and will work well for any body type. Plus it gives a more classic, effortless way for women of all ages to wear shorts. I paired mine with this structured nautical blazer and now I am rocking the short suit trend. This look may even work well for a business-casual dress code and then happy hour. 

Will you wear the bermuda shorts or the shorts suit trend this season?
