Instagram Round Up | Sale Alert | Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Explained

I hope y’all had a great Fourth of July! I had a nice four-day weekend just relaxing at home with Pete. While I love a lazy holiday weekend, it’s taken me a couple of days to get back into my work rhythm. Anyone else? Every month or so, I like to put together an Instagram round up of some things I’ve been up to and cute finds I have been loving. Plus there is a Shopbop Sale Alert in today’s post as well as some final Nordstrom Anniversary Sale strategy before the Early Access launch on Friday. So let’s get into it!

The Denim Shirt Dress, The Best Multi Seasonal Dress

I’m always on the lookout for a dress that I can wear year-round. And I’m happy to say that I found one I love! This denim shirt dress is light and breezy enough for Spring and Summer with sandals or flats, and I thought it would also look very stylish with brown booties in the Fall too. I’m going to have my eye out for a new pair of booties during the upcoming Nordstrom Anniversary Sale for sure. But there’s so many things I love about this denim shirt dress, so I want to share all my thoughts with you.

Gingham Trend: This Summer’s Most Classic Trend Favorites

Hello Monday, Hello SUMMER! Now that it is officially Summer, let’s talk about this season’s most classic trend – Gingham. I love gingham because it’s trendy but also timeless. It has been a staple since the 50s and 60s, and now there are so many modern options too. This chic pattern adds so much dimension and interest to any look, so it’s great to add to your closet. The best part about the gingham trend is that it works at all price points and in all different colors. You can wear it as an accent in a handbag or shoe, or go for a full on gingham look with a dress or statement pant like mine (sold out but similar here). Now let’s discuss all the ways you can wear the gingham trend this Summer!

Reasons to Love Cute Shirt Dresses this Season

I’ve definitely mentioned more than once that I love cute shirt dresses! They are just so easy, versatile and classic. I think we all can appreciate a simple work to weekend option that’s polished with both structure and femininity. Shirt dresses are light and loose, so they will conceal any problem areas for you. Or if you want to define your waist, try a belted shirt dress like mine (sold out but similar here). So why are shirt dresses so great? Let me tell you!

5 Ways to Wear Flattering Shorts at Any Age

Around this time of year, I often get asked for suggestions of flattering shorts! I think because a lot of us have a hard time finding shorts that are age appropriate but also stylish. My days of short shorts are no more, as I prefer a longer pair like many of you do too. So today I wanted to share with y’all my favorite shorts options and how to wear them at any age! But before I do that, I must let you guys know that today is the first day of Talbots‘ Friends & Family Summer Sale event! Just use the code FRIENDS at checkout for 40% off your entire purchase from today through this Sunday, June 23.

Staying Cool this Summer with the new Soma Cooling Bra

We all know that what you wear underneath your clothes really can make or break an outfit. The summer heat can be so hard when you’re trying to stay cool. The Soma Beautifully Cool bra is just the solution you might be looking for. Check out how I’m wearing this bra and how it makes my clothes fit perfectly!

How to Wear Colored Shoes and Make them POP!

Did y’all know that we have just a little over a week left of Spring? I can hardly believe how fast it went! Although I always love starting a new season, I sometimes find it difficult to think of fresh outfit ideas toward the end of every season. Don’t you? So a couple weeks ago, I went shopping with a friend and stumbled upon these fabulous yellow shoes on MAJOR SALE (they come in black too). These are the kind of shoes that totally make an outfit. This inspired me to style an otherwise simple monochromatic look on top, which allowed my shoes to really POP! And it got me thinking how hesitant some of us may be to buy a bold shoe. That’s why today I want to share with you my best tips on how to wear colored shoes…

How to wear a wrap dress at any age and size

Wrap dresses are simply timeless! They define the waist and can even hide the tummy. I love this new wrap dress (also comes in pink stripe) because it’s so flattering but not too revealing. So I wanted to share with you today how versatile wrap dresses are. Especially during the Summer, these are an easy and feminine go-to!

Why the Fit and Flare Dress is Flattering on Everyone

Happy JUNE! I hope everyone had a great weekend. We had a super relaxing one and just got caught up on tons of “to-do’s”. Good thing because June is the month for non-stop travel over here at TanyaFoster.com. Let’s talk about this dress… Do you know what dress style is universally flattering on everyone? Well today I’m going to share my secret with you. It is the fit and flare dress. Seriously, this dress is so slimming and creates an illusion of a smaller waist! So I just had to share my thoughts on this with you let’s go!

How to Style White Eyelet

Last week I wrote about LBDs (see here), so now it’s time to discuss the LWD – or little white dress! Little white dresses were all over New York Fashion Week for 2019 and they are definitely here to stay. It’s a little bit lighter and fresher than a little black dress, yet still a versatile classic. And the best way to do a LWD for the season is in white eyelet like my dress pictured! So today I am giving you a curated collection of options of not only white eyelet dresses but white eyelet tops, shorts, jeans, shoes and swimwear too. Eyelet is everywhere, so I suggest jumping on the trend NOW!
