Favorite Summer Outfits - Stylista Esquire - @stylistaesquire

Hi Friends! A bunch of my favorite items I have bought/worn over the past couple of months are back in stock in pretty much ALL sizes, so I had to share them with you!  As we all know, clothes come and go, and things (especially in the days of social media) sell out so quickly.  Below, are some of my favorite summer outfits from this season that you can still wear now and into early Fall.  And for my gals in warmer climates, lucky you can wear them for much longer!

The Best Peplum Top under $30 + My All-Time Favorite Coffee Shop in D.C.

 

The Best Peplum Top Under $30 - Stylista Esquire - @stylistaesquire

It’s official.  This BP. Peplum Top is my favorite, looks great, ride-or-die top for Summer.  I love a good peplum and this style is so perfect.  It hits me at a great spot, which doesn’t make me look like a balloon.  The material is a thick linen, with a lining, so it is super lightweight and cool, but at the same time, very structured, which I really like in a peplum top.  In my opinion, the high neckline is super flattering on my smaller chested gals.  For this top, I wear these Hollywood Fashion Secrets Coverups.  They are super comfortable, easy to use, and traceless under dresses and tops!  Also, pssh…I’m also going to wear this top in the Fall with either a long cardigan or moto jacket!

Chicago Travel Guide - Stylista Esquire - @stylistaesquire

I can honestly say I fell in love with The Windy City! As some of you may have seen through my Instagram stories, I was in Chicago for The Blog Societies Conference.  If you haven’t heard of The Blog Societies, or TBS, it’s a tight-knit network of bloggers started by Cathy and Jessica, who are amazing bloggers!  I’m sure you follow one or both of them already!  They are so talented in what they do, and luckily, they decided to share their knowledge and connections with fellow bloggers.  I’m so thankful for them for introducing me to some wonderful ladies and for giving me an excuse to visit Chicago!  Below, I’m talking about some of the fun things I did in the city, for when you get the chance to spend some time in Chi-Town.

The Perfect Transitional Blush Blazer and Lace Top

Blush Blazer + Lace Top - Stylista Esquire - @stylistaesquire

Pardon my recent hiatus, but Summer is a doozy and it’s already August!  I can’t even deal.  This month is a busy one for me and probably, also for the rest of you.  I am in no way ready to say good-bye to Summer, BUT I have added a few items to my wardrobe from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale that I can wear now AND in the Fall.  This is going to be my last post about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year and it’s a good one.  I’m sure you have picked up your most-wanted items, but I’ve rounded up items that are still in stock AND under $100, including my perfectly-fitted Halogen No-Closure Blazer and Chelsea28 Lace Top.
