We’re in Texas, so I always grab light, flowy materials with that oversized or “boyfriend” fit because nobody wants to wear a heavy material that adds to the heat. I’m seeing a lot of pastel colors—powder blue, baby pink, soft yellows, lavender—which work great for the spring and summer months. I’m also loving this “Soft-Girl” style that includes florals, ruffles, bows, lace… anything very feminine. 

The J. Forks look was easy to assemble because I love a boyfriend jeans-and-top combo. I’m drawn to anything in the teal/green family, so this top immediately caught my eye. It’s lightweight, airy, and cool, and it’s a “boyfriend” fit that looks great on any body type.

Everyone needs a good little black dress and a little white dress, so I know this piece at The Pearl Antler would be perfect for church, graduation parties, sorority recruitment, and brunch with friends. The possibilities are endless, and the floral detailing goes to that “Soft-Girl” style I love.

The midi length of this dress from Hey Love seriously works for all body types. I’m drawn to this elastic, fitted bodice because it’s comfortable and looks good all day. You can style this dress so differently depending on your mood: heels, plain sandals, stylish sneakers, you name it!

My personal style is whatever makes me happy and lets me express myself… as everyone’s style should be.
