The Perennial Style Journal
Trend alerts, wardrobe staples and the pieces we’re wearing, wanting and wishlisting.
What I love most about Spring cleaning (other than finally boxing up all of the winter coats I never wore all season...) is reacquainting myself with everything in my closet. It's the best time to fall in love with old favorites, toss what was never worn, and...
In my opinion, there's nothing more feminine that a fitted lace dress. It's figure-flattering, yet modest, and the fabric will forever remain a classic. Though people always say you shouldn't wear white before Easter, that's a fashion rule I never follow! As I...
One of my favorite trends for Spring is the off the shoulder look (see Trend Alert here). I featured this floral dress last week, but I can't get enough of this bare shoulder look this season. From dresses to crops to blouses and more, now's the time to stock up on...
Pool season is coming, and 2016 brings a wide new array of swim trends for vacay! One of my favorite trends is one I NEVER thought I'd find myself wearing: the one piece. From the 80s comeback of high-cut sides and plunging backs to new trends of cut outs and...
My Spring shopping spree keeps arriving at my door, and I'm loving revamping my dark and dreary winter wardrobe! This dress is a new favorite that feels so feminine and flirty from the second you put it on. I loved the floral print, but it also comes in a solid cobalt...
Though I tend to prefer solids over prints, this block floral dress is the perfect dress to toss on for any occasion. Whether it's dinner with friends, a charity happy hour, or Sunday brunch, this is one of those dresses that lets the dress carry itself - no need to...
Taking a break from jackets and sweaters has been heavenly, and I'm having so much fun revamping my wardrobe for Spring! One style that is making a serious comeback in my closet this season is tube tops. Though tube tops never really "left" the fashion scene,...
One item every girl needs in her closet is a little red dress. A feminine and flattering shape that can be dressed up or dressed down for any occasion is always key for a go-to piece, but why not spice it up a bit and replace black with a bold red hue? I recently...
Our love for Birkenstocks and mules are fusing together in this new must-have shoe trend for Spring: slide sandals. Though slides aren't necessarily "new" (perhaps you remember them from your mom's closet back in the day), they are definitely replacing the oh-so-basic...
Spring is in the air! I'm so excited that Spring clothes are filling the stores, and I can finally say hello to skirts and sandals again! Though I can't dive head into this new season, I can start stocking up on versatile pieces that I can mix and match now...
As I mentioned here, bell-sleeves are definitely having their moment - and I love it. I snagged this dress recently, and though it may be a tad earlier for Spring dresses, the weather in Dallas this past weekend was absolutely beautiful, so I figured why not wear it...
Though a deep V dress may be a bit daring, it's one of my favorite shapes for Spring - which you may already know if you remember my deep V LBD here. The key to keep a deep V dress from going overboard is balancing the cut, and this flared skirt keeps the dress...
