Sperry Boat Shoes

It took me three days of continuous wear to break them in, first day with thin socks. Now, they are super comfortable and I wear them all the time. I slip them on to run outside and hang laundry, I put them on to run to the store, or I put together a cute outfit to go with them, like the outfit above.

3 Ways To Wear A Chambray Shirt Dress

Every woman needs a basic shirt dress. It’s one of those wardrobe must-haves that isn’t likely to go out of style anytime soon and I’m particularly fond of this Rock & Republic Feather-Bleach Chambray Shirtdress for $31.50 (down from $70.00) from Kohls.

A shirt dress is a versatile piece you can build on and wear a bunch of different ways. Today I put together 3 ways to wear a chambray shirt dress that will work for Spring, Summer and in the Fall too!

How To Wear Bright Colors for Spring

It’s time to pack away those dark, wintery colors and bring on the pastels, neons and other bright colors for spring! We are seeing more bright colors than ever this season but it can be overwhelming if you are used to wearing neutrals. Don’t worry, incorporating bright colors into your spring wardrobe is easier (and less circus-like) than you think!

HOW TO WEAR BRIGHT PANTS:

Pair brightly colored jeans or pants with a basic striped tee, a chambray shirt or denim jacket and nude flats. Easiest outfit EVER.

HOW TO WEAR BRIGHT SHOES:

Pair bright shoes with denim skinnies, neutral blouse or tee (think white, gray, nude, pale pink), a neutral blazer (like navy, black, dark gray) and a brightly colored necklace or other bright accessories for a hint of color in your ensemble. Check out the bright accessories below for ideas!

HOW TO WEAR BRIGHT ACCESSORIES:

If you are afraid of color, start with some fun, brightly colored accessories like this coral scarf or yellow bubble necklace. Pair them with anything you would normally wear from a sundress to jeans. Mix and match! I like to carry a bright bag or colorful wallet like the one above from MyWalit. It just screams happiness!

HOW TO WEAR BRIGHT DRESSES:

If you are ready to pull out the big guns this spring, shop for a brightly colored dress in one of this season’s hottest hues like neon yellow or bright pink. Pair with a denim jacket or neutral colored blazer and nude heels for a look that is both fashion forward and ready for spring!

Whats your favorite way to wear bright colors? Are you afraid to step outside your comfort zone?

Juil Footwear Promotes Wellbeing & Energy

I was intrigued when I first heard about Juil Footwear. Their line of shoes feature copper conductors that connect you to the earth. Hmmm….

So I visited their website, only to find that their shoes are SUPER cute!

Juil Footwear Promotes Wellbeing

From the site…

“Each pair is made with our exclusive Energy Flow Technology™, containing copper conductors (or dots) going directly through the outsoles. Juil footwear creates a free-flowing connection between you and the earth, rejuvenating your energies with each and every step. As we like to say – simplify your life and make every step significant.”

So needless to say, I HAD to have a pair!!! I chose the Mesa Sandals in Brown

juil mesa leather sandals

They are uber comfy, break-in time was like 2 minutes, they provide moderate arch support, do not “flip flop” when walking and best of all, they feature the copper conductor dots for each toe and one in the heel that connect you to the ground you walk on. As an added bonus, they come with a yoga mat bag! It’s very cute too.

Juil shoes come in whole sizes only so I got mine in a size 7 for my normally 7 – 7.5 sized feet. They fit absolutely perfectly. The width is perfect for my feet too.

My darling friend Kirsten over at BarkingDogShoes.com reviewed these shoes too. Definitely check it out!

I also admire that Juil donates to Soles for Souls to provide shoes to those in need around the world. It feels great knowing that each pair of shoes you buy also helps someone in need. What better way to buy shoes, right?!

I feel so energized when I get out in the sunshine! What energizes you?
