These linen pants work for the office or for traveling. They’re so comfy and they also fit big. I’m wearing a Small and wear size 10 jeans. They’re on sale today for $35. I’m wearing a Medium in this Quince jacket and an XS or S in the tee since it fits big. #SummerOutfit

This outfit is from my summer travel capsule wardrobe, but you may even be able to wear it to work. These pants are so comfortable. They have a small pleat in the front and elastic in the back. They run very big. I’m wearing a small and normally wear a size 10 or 12 jeans. I wear this tee in a small or extra small (I own both sizes in 3 colors). Do you recognize that dance move at the end? I’m doing “the pizza” from the movie Hitch. 🎥 #SummerOutfit #SummerTravel

I’ve been dreaming of getting back to Rome and seeing more of Italy. It’s been just over 10 years since I visited, but I still remember the magic of turning every corner to find ancient ruins, gorgeous fountains, lively piazzas, and all the gelato, pizza, and pasta you could want. Until then, I’ll be dreaming up the outfits I’d wear there.⁠

⁠
I’ve been sharing this dress all weekend, and now I have 8 more ways to style it for you. ⁠
⁠
The vertical line up the center draws the eye up and down for an elongating effect. It's made of midweight material, so it smooths and doesn’t cling. It also has short sleeves that are perfect if you don’t love showing your arms. Wear it in place of shorts. ⁠
⁠
It's on sale for 55% off from LOFT, taking it to under $30. This one is too good to miss. I'm wearing a Medium.⁠ #summeroutfit #SummerFashion

You guys, this @LOFT dress is so good! The skirt has an easy A-line shape that’s roomy in the midsection, which makes it super comfortable and flattering. And don’t let the stripes scare you. When they’re thin and close together like this, they actually draw the eye up and down and work like camouflage.⁠
⁠
This is the dress you’ll want to pack for your next trip, wear to work, pull out for graduation or Mother’s Day, and even throw on for a relaxed afternoon at the winery. There are so many different ways to style it. It's 40% off today.⁠ I’m wearing a Medium.

This black-and-white polka dot one-piece swimsuit is so cute! It has small ruffles on the straps, removable molded cups, and ruching in the midsection for a flattering, tummy-smoothing effect. The suit also offers fuller rear coverage for added comfort. I’m wearing a size large, which fits my size 12 bottom half perfectly, though I also tried the medium and found it too snug. The top stays up on my 36-B bust, but it has enough room to accommodate a larger bust as well.
For an easy coverup, I’m wearing this gauze shirt, which has a relaxed fit. I’m wearing it in a size small, and it still feels roomy. I also tried the matching pants, but they were very high-waisted, long, and too sheer for my taste—so those are going back. Wear this combination at the pool or to the beach!
