How to Create 4 Easy Outfits for Spring Summer with 1 Top

Recently, i’ve been trying to incorporate more basics into my wardrobe and allowing them to be the staple piece in my outfits. For example, below, I styled a $15 white top, four different ways. Since i’m all about *fun outfits*, I notice myself only purchasing pieces that are over the top and exciting, and forgetting to pick up basics like a white shirt. Because of this, I just stocked up on about 10 basics (white, black, grey shirts, a pair of jeans, etc.) and have noticed how much easier outfits have been to create. With a few simple accessory changes, you can make your true & tried basics look distinctly different, time and time again.

Next time you feel like you have nothing to wear, I challenge you to grab a basic top or bottom (a t shirt, tank top, jeans – using something plain works well), and seeing how many outfit combinations you can create with it. I promise there will be more than you think! Check out the looks below & let me know your favorite!

Traveling Home to Iowa: Family Time & State Fair Food

I just returned from Iowa a few days ago, and it was a trip filled with joy and sadness. The main reason for our visit was to see my grandma. Living 1,000 miles away from her makes it challenging to visit, especially as a mom. I wish I could go more often, but I’m incredibly grateful that my mom and I took the opportunity to travel together to spend time with her last week. It was such a special time, and I cherished every moment—having dinner with her, making her laugh, accidentally playing piano for her entire facility, and holding her hand as much as I could.

How to Take Better Instagram Photos

While the most beautiful blogs and Instagram feeds tend to seem effortless, the truth is, they are FAR FROM IT. Shooting and curating photos can take a *lot* of time and effort, and are often way more thought out & intentional than they seem from the outside. While this may be true, since we live in a digital world where photos are often the first thing we see, learning to take and create good photos is totally worth the time. A photo is truly worth a thousand words and it’s been proven time and time again that on visual platforms like blogs and social media sites (Instagram, Pinterest, etc), having good photos is half the battle and can really help to set you apart from the crowd.
