let's get going0:31we're going to start with what I think0:33is actually one of the most fun0:35alternatives to popping on a dress for0:38all of those events you have coming up a0:40set why I love sets mix and match mix0:44and match break them up wear them0:46together and you have endless0:48possibilities particularly fabulous if0:51you are going on a trip need to pack0:54light this is a great way to break0:56things up this is such a fun little set0:58from Bobby it's eyelet i'm going to come1:00in close just so you can see all this1:02great little detail on it tie front i am1:05wearing a little seamless black cami1:07underneath this super easy just tucked1:09it in elastic waistband short with a fun1:12little gather this would be equally cute1:14with a white tea and then I have on this1:17really fun little jeweled sandal that is1:20kind of one of those shoes you can dress1:22up dress down and it's flat so if you1:25are at a grad party in a backyard or a1:28shower you're walking through the grass1:31no worries on this one you're not going1:33to sink down true to size on this one1:36absolutely love it so so easy couple1:39other really fun sets we have that I'm1:42just loving this is a fun one this is1:45from Zupplies so you know the price is1:47perfect and right what I think is cool1:50about this gang it's not navy it's black1:52you kind of get this hint of a nautical1:54vibe to it but that black and white1:56gives it a little bit of edge lots of1:58stretch on this one and that great open2:01neckline and just a slightly shorter top2:06makes this a really great pair for a2:08pair of high-waisted jeans a great pair2:10of shorts and then again this is a great2:13one pop it on with a tea or a tank throw2:15on a denim jacket another look for2:18days if you've got more of an event2:21coming up or just a fun night out yes2:26there's a set for you to do that as well2:29can we just have some fun in this one2:31it's all about that fringe and it's in a2:35knit so another stretchy stretchy easy2:37one to pop on one of the reasons I love2:40the tank on this and this great little2:42sweater knit is because they are bra2:45friendly really great silhouette on this2:47one gang so what is really nice about2:48this two things number one it's lined2:50number two what I like is that it's not2:54too short but you don't have to worry2:56about tucking it in so it is going to be2:58more of a meet and greet with the skirt3:00the skirt is more of a midi length such3:03a fun little combination just love this3:06guy i mean so darn3:09cute okay got your sets this is my3:13suggested alternative to all those3:15dresses that you're loving but sometimes3:17you know what you just need a great3:20dress so I've got a couple of really fun3:23ones i actually just had a party here at3:26RE Dina Store on Tuesday night and this3:28was by far the fan favorite this3:32fabulous dress from LNA it's that twofur3:36look which is so big for dresses right3:38now knit on the top woven on the bottom3:42you know what everybody loved about it3:43oh yeah you know it has of course those3:46fabulous pockets and I love this more3:48Sears sucker

baseball and lacrosse mamas out there4:06if your team happens to be blue what a4:08fun dress to wear for4:10that if you're looking for a little bit4:12more color or want something that has4:14more of that true sundress vibe this is4:18another fantastic dress spaghetti straps4:20but of course they have that adjustable4:23strap on them and then what's so great4:25about this that I love love love is that4:27elastic detail around the waist so4:29really really flattering gives you great4:31shape light as air this one and this is4:34from Zupply in this beautiful gosh4:38almost coralally red color red the color4:41of the season no doubt this is such a4:42fun one to pop on question oh yes um how4:46do the maxi dresses like how would you4:48style those for petites for petites i4:50mean here's the deal i'm petite i just4:54wear mine with a flat shoe i say embrace4:56it i've always been kind of a believer4:58in the longer dress the flatter the shoe5:02so I kind of I don't know i I wouldn't5:05struggle with this as a petite gal i5:08wouldn't worry that it's hitting you5:09more like a maxi instead of more like a5:12midi don't sweat it pop on a little flat5:14shoe if you feel like you want a little5:17bit of height couple really fun options5:20here this is a brand new shoe we just5:22got in from Shutz why I like this it's5:24got just a tiny bit of a kitten heel and5:26that kind of barely there sandal which I5:29think is really nice doesn't compete5:30with the stripes doesn't compete with5:31the dress just more of a disappearing5:34kind of shoe really really fun one or5:37you can get something with just a little5:39bit more strap detail but still a flat5:41another one from Shutz which is fun so5:44good question good question another5:47option though if we're talking dresses5:49and you're petite and you're worried5:51about longer length then let's go short5:54no big deal okay couple great options5:57here first is from Velvet this was a5:59dress when it came in I was like "Oh6:00dang this is going to be a good one."6:02Number one it's light light light so for6:05those of you who are heading into that6:07100 plus degree graduation weather6:10you're going to be

short that when you sit down you're7:13uncomfortable but short enough to show7:15off that leg and really give some great7:17proportions7:20and then last but not least because I7:22think there's just a ton of casual7:25knockaround gettogethers I'm also7:27thinking about all those elementary7:28school mamas who have field day and band7:32concerts and choir concerts and end7:34ofear parties and all

amazing17:54everyday icons i think of May and I17:57always think of this time of year as17:59when I go through my tanks and my tees18:01and gh what needs a good refresh we have18:05so many amazing options i'm going to run18:07through them really quick starting with18:09I think this is the Elsie i just want to18:11make sure the Emmery the Emmery pocket18:14tank i love this guy look at all the18:16colors this comes in if this does not18:19scream bring me outside and have some18:21fun I don't know what does i love this18:24especially because this is a tank that18:27can be worn untucked so pop this on with18:30a great pair of shorts or an easy pair18:32of light wash jeans done and done and18:35with all these fabulous colors I mean18:38you cannot go wrong right so fun18:43another fan favorite that is back is the18:46Farad Slub Muscle now we have had this18:51for two years running now we sold out of18:54it so fast last summer no one could even18:56get their hands on it so we made sure to18:58fix that this year and we're bringing it19:00back in a big way the fabric on this is19:02amazing the silhouette gives just a19:05little bit of edge it comes in 1 million19:08not really a six but 1 million or six19:11colors in stripes and had to show you19:14this because this is so darn fun gang19:17are you seeing it i'm seeing it too lots19:19of bandanas and scarves happening wanted19:21to show you this is such an easy way to19:24update that look add a little scarf pop19:27on your muscle19:29tank throw on a great pair of shorts19:34done could not be easier right and then19:38of course you know that we love love19:41love our Nora tank and it's another19:43really fabulous tank to have this one we19:46styled more in that fun kind of western19:48style if you have questions about how to19:50style a tank we have an amazing video on19:53our Instagram as well as on our website19:55where Ash shows you three easy ways to19:57do it and one doesn't even have to be on19:59your body but we love this Nora from LNA20:03you're going to wear it again and again20:05and again so so easy i'm calling gang20:08you just you got to get it it's so20:10fantastic i'm calling it the Nora it's20:12the Jones so sorry my bad it's the Jones20:16get this guy on so so fun so great to20:20have in your closet and get any color20:22under the sun with the tanks that you20:24just showed you're wondering about how20:26wide the armpits are oh yes this is why20:29I love it let's run through if you have20:30not gotten yourself a Jones tank yet20:32here is why you need one number one20:34double lined so it gives you some really20:37nice coverage even in the white but it20:40doesn't feel heavy number two it skims20:42but it does not suck in so it's not20:45super super tight really really20:47flattering number three and I think this20:49is the most important it's bra friendly20:51gang so not too deep of an armhole not20:54too much of a cutaway you can wear your20:56normal bra with this the neckline is20:59more of a crew but it is a little bit21:01more open so you don't feel chuck choked21:03up in this one it's an absolute musthave21:07i own this in more colors than I'd like21:09to admit get it in your pop colors21:12because this is so fun to wear back to21:13denim or a great little short get it in21:16your neutrals because it becomes your21:18kind of easy to layer all the time grab21:22it with your great little scarf pop it21:24on with a fun textured jacket good to go21:27i mean that would be such an easy work21:29look for this time of year too question21:31yeah um what are your favorite go-tos21:33for covering arms but keeping them cool21:36oh that's such a good question gang so a21:37couple things I think about when I want21:40to stay cool i first I think about21:42fabric right so anything linen anything21:44in our cotton boils is really really21:46helpful so my first inclination honestly21:50gang is to just grab a top that actually21:52has some sleeve coverage so something21:54like this from Ever that has more of an21:56open neckline i love this for a little21:58bit of coverage i also think this velvet22:00dress is a great example of a dress that22:02has a sleeve but can still keep you nice22:05and cool because it's so so lightweight22:08if you're looking for more of a jacket22:10piece or more of a layer that way then22:14this is when I would grab like something22:15slobed like this great Bobby i also am a22:19huge fan of taking a button down and22:22making it my layer i think that can be a22:24really chic easy way to put a look22:27together so that great Z Supply shirt22:30red and white striped in linen is an22:32easy one to throw on over dresses22:36doesn't feel too heavy you could pop22:37that on over almost any dress we have i22:41also22:42am a big fan of the open weave so when22:45you look at like a great little crochet22:47sweater pop on a cardi underneath this22:50and you can wear this one doesn't get22:52too hot you still have that arm coverage22:54but it's not so so heavy22:58such a good question any more before we23:00sign off um other than sweaters what can23:04you wear sleeveless dresses what can23:06over sleeve dresses to not show the arms23:08yes okay i don't have it here where23:11might it be there is a fabulous short23:14sleeve denim23:17jacket that's not here but it's online23:20and it's fantastic that I would strongly23:23suggest it's a really easy one to grab23:26and just pop on layer it over any of23:29your jackets it's a little bit shorter23:30in length i think that's a really nice23:32option for that coverage without being23:33too too hot and it's more of a nicking23:36so it's not so so heavy the way that we23:38typically find denim jackets are we'll23:40find it we'll find it we'll link it if23:42you ask about it we will send you the23:44link and we'll find it for you okay23:46anything else before we close out23:48someone asked about the travel mustaves23:52oh okay so honestly right now when I'm23:55looking for a travel must have the first23:56thing I do go to is a set because of the23:59crazy easy versatility that is sets all24:03the ways to mix and match the other24:06things I think about are kind of my24:08foundation pieces so I never ever ever24:12travel without a couple of neutral tanks24:15and a couple of neutral tees so in my24:18bag always I always pl pack either a24:21white or kind of an oatmeal colored tank24:23and a black i always pack a white and a24:26black tea cuz to me those are the24:28foundations then I look for a great pair24:31of bottoms so right now one of the pants24:33I'm absolutely loving is the Joelle24:35linen bottom we have it in a million24:38colors so so easy to wear and that's a24:40good one too cuz you can dress it up or24:42dress it down so if I have like kind of24:44like my fun elevated set then I have my24:47Joelle linen which is so so easy a24:50couple of my tanks then I look for a24:52great layer so whether that is an open24:54weave sweater a lightweight jacket24:57whatever I think can go with a couple24:59pieces and then my last trick always for25:02travel is stick to a
