0:01 [Music] 0:07 hello my friends are you looking at that 0:10 summer calendar and wondering where 0:14 all these events came from 0:16 your calendar is packed you've got 0:19 places to be and people to see and you 0:21 are wondering 0:23 what you are going to wear well guess 0:25 what we've got you covered i'm going to 0:27 run through some of my absolute favorite 0:29 summer event looks 0:31 everything from a little bit more dressy 0:34 for those weddings you got on your 0:35 calendar so maybe some fun 0:37 showers graduations or even a summer 0:40 concert and you're just needing a look 0:43 so let's start from the top i snagged 0:46 this dress because it is a little bit 0:48 i'm going to be honest a whole lot of a 0:51 dare for me but it was worth the dare 0:54 because i'm a little bit in love with 0:55 this guy so this is from velvet it leads 0:58 into a whole bunch of trends the first 1:00 trend being one shoulder the next being 1:03 that two piece and a little bit of 1:04 cutout and the third being tearing i 1:07 don't always love it when you mash up a 1:09 whole bunch of trends together but in 1:10 this one it works because it's 1:12 comfortable it's easy breezy and it's 1:14 really flattering so 1:16 lightweight got that great kind of 1:19 asymmetrical top which i think is so fun 1:21 for showing off a great statement 1:23 earring or that shoulder who doesn't 1:25 love their shoulders it's a great body 1:27 part to show off now this is the dare 1:29 part right this little bit of cutout now 1:32 the reason this works for me 1:34 is because of where it's hitting me now 1:36 it's not too low 1:38 so i'm not getting into like love handle 1:40 territory 1:42 it's covering up my actual tummy which 1:44 feels really good and just getting a 1:46 little slit of that high waist so 1:49 not to feel sexy but still feel 1:51 comfortable because i'm covered up and 1:53 then this fun full tiered skirt i am 1:57 heading to mexico in a few weeks and 1:59 this is absolutely going in my bag so 2:02 girls trip weekend getaway 2:05 anniversary trip 2:07 destination wedding whatever it might be 2:10 this to me feels like the absolute 2:12 perfect dress to get into your bag 2:15 similar vein kind of fun playful 2:18 unexpected dresses i've got a couple 2:20 more up my sleeve 2:23 two from a brand new vendor for us this 2:26 is from bash 2:28 i'm gonna show you this one because the 2:29 print is so 2:31 so stunning i absolutely love that 2:34 there's black woven into this this is a 2:36 really nice silhouette if you don't want 2:38 something super full if you like 2:40 something a little bit more shaped great 2:42 the neckline buttons down the front but 2:45 what makes this dress so yummy is that 2:47 incredible 2:49 seaming detail throughout the bodice and 2:53 yep that great smocking in the back that 2:55 really nips in your waist i also find it 2:59 can be hard to 3:00 nail a dress with sleeves this guy 3:03 absolutely does it now how to style this 3:05 casual with a slide dress it up and 3:08 elevate it with a great heel the shoots 3:10 that i have on today would be perfect 3:12 with this to really dress it up or you 3:14 can pop on a great little slide or even 3:16 a burke with this and it goes uber 3:18 casual 3:20 similar spirit to that dress with just a 3:23 little bit more movement and fluidity is 3:26 this gorgeous dress also from bash 3:29 the neckline no buttons on this one so 3:32 you're just getting one straight line i 3:34 love this on pure line here around the 3:37 waist to really give you some nice shape 3:39 what i think is stunning about this and 3:41 the little unexpected twist is this 3:43 great slit down the back now 3:46 how to wear this with a bra well you've 3:48 got a couple options number one is you 3:50 can number one you can do that great 3:53 kind of backless bra there's so many 3:55 options out there kind of hold you up 3:58 number two find yourself a beautiful bra 4:01 so something that has a really pretty 4:02 back to it be it lace and maybe a front 4:05 closure so you're not seeing that 4:06 closure in the back number three you can 4:09 also wear a really lovely lace bodysuit 4:12 underneath this just so that you're 4:13 covering up that hole so lots and lots 4:16 of ways to wear this you don't feel like 4:18 you have to go totally bare you can 4:20 actually slip something on but i love 4:22 that little sneak peek i think that's so 4:24 darn pretty 4:25 now what makes this dress i'm wearing 4:27 kind of fun is that there is a hint of 4:29 kind of tropical vibes to this right but 4:32 if you are wanting more color lots of 4:34 ways to do that 4:36 one more amazing dress from bash and i 4:39 grabbed this one because of that very 4:40 reason this yummy yummy color now this 4:42 would be so fun 4:44 for a shower i also think this would be 4:46 so comfortable for a graduation so if 4:48 you're going to graduation where you're 4:50 sitting on the lawn no shade lots of sun 4:53 four hours waiting for that one kiddo to 4:56 walk across the stage this is a great 4:59 one to pop on 5:01 fun detailing here around the waist to 5:03 give you some nice shape and that 5:04 crisscross bodice which we know is so so 5:07 flattering 5:08 the sleeve is single layer so it's still 5:11 really airy but it gives you some nice 5:12 coverage and a little bit shorter length 5:15 to show off those dams 5:18 now if you are looking for something 5:20 maybe in that more 5:23 kind of graduation party 5:26 versus graduation ceremony kind of luck 5:28 meaning you want to be casual but still 5:30 put together you're attending as a guest 5:33 versus being the host 5:35 there are lots of fun options for you 5:37 out there but one of my favorite 5:38 combinations right now is taking a great 5:40 bold statement top and pairing it back 5:42 to a pair of white denim 5:45 easy 5:46 flawless classic and lots of ways to 5:49 style it a couple really great tasks 5:52 that beautiful dress i showed you also 5:54 comes in a top print this is simple it 5:57 is a just stunning blouse buttons down 6:00 the front what makes this undoubtedly is 6:02 that beautiful print and the way they've 6:05 worked in some of that great 6:07 contrast detail
