Trends come and go but when you know your personal Trends come and go but when you know your personal style, your closet always works for you.

I’ve spent the last few years figuring out what actually makes me feel good in my clothes. For me, it’s bold colors, layered details, and throwing in one thing that feels a little unexpected (yes, even shoes that don’t match exactly).

That doesn’t mean I skip trends. I try them but I tweak them to fit my vibe. Wide-leg pants? Yes. But I pair them with color and texture that still feels like Tiffany.

Swipe through for tips on how to define your own style and how to use fashion to tell the story you want people to read when they see you.

Drop a comment: What’s one thing that feels like you every time you wear it?

But yesterday, we flipped the script:  I jumped in front of the lens while John handled the filming to show off this precious flip he just finished in Hammond. Let’s just say… with all the zooming, I won’t be handing over my job anytime soon. 😉
Meet the summer accessory I didn’t know I needed Meet the summer accessory I didn’t know I needed:
A sweater. On your shoulders. Tied just so. Styled with intention.

This one simple layering piece is giving main character energy and so many moods. Here’s how I’ve worn it three totally different ways:

1️⃣ Everyday Casual – Tossed over a tank and skirt for errands or iced coffee runs
2️⃣ Sporty & On-the-Go – Layered over an athletic dress with sneakers for a walk or travel day
3️⃣ Dressed Up – Draped over a silk dress for a fancier lunch (yes, it works with satin too)

Whether it’s tied, draped, or slung just right, this is the kind of easy layering that instantly elevates your outfit without adding heat.

Are you team “sweater as accessory” yet? Tell me your fave way to wear it👇

Crop Tops and Summer Trends

There are two main reasons I write this blog.  The first is to show you a variety of fashions that will work for any budget.  The second is to guide you through trying things that may be out of your comfort zone.

We all have things we like to wear then there is usually a list of things we want to wear.  I often hear women say, I would wear that if I was younger or thinner.  I have been guilty of saying this too.  We probably all have.  The thing is that there are many things that we can wear if we find the right way to do it.  I am by no means a size 2 but I really enjoy wearing bodycon dresses and I wear them because I like them.

I think most of us need to stop worrying about what we should wear and worry about how we are going to style what we want to wear.

I asked recently on my facebook page what people wanted me to talk about in the next few months.  One of my sweet friends asked if there were any guidelines for dressing post 35.  There are definitely rules to dressing but I don’t think they really change depending on your age.  I think they are timeless.

  • Show cleavage or show legs.  Don’t show both.
  • Dress for the job you want and not the job you have.
  • Always take one accessory off unless you want to be extra and then add one on.
  • Take into account weather, venue and how many cocktails you are planning to have before picking a dress or shoes.
  • White can be worn on any occasion except someone else’s wedding.
  • Hem your pants.  There is no one size fits all in length.
  • Consider how a garment needs to be cared for before purchasing it.
  • Always look at yourself from the front and then from behind.
  • When in doubt.  Wear a nude shoe.
  • Pair loose with tight.
  • Dress yourself.  Not your age.  Worry about looking matronly rather than too young.

On to the second part of this piece.  Summer Trends.  When I was asked to discuss summer trends I stared doing some research on what was going to be new and big.  The more I thought about it I felt like I wanted to share what I want to wear this summer.  I mean I feel like if you are here reading this you obviously want to know what I am thinking and feeling so here it is…

Pattern.  Gingham, floral, stripes and more.  All I see is pattern everywhere I look and I love it.  Take the summer as an opportunity to play with pattern and have some fun.  Sometimes the most unexpected combinations make the best looks.

Mirror Sunglasses.  For years I have rocked the oversized sunglasses look.  This year I have branched out and found a few new pairs I love.  My mirrored glasses from Krewe and Golden Lily are going to get me through all of these bright days.

High Waisted Bathing Suits.  Love them.  I love a one piece too but the high waisted bikini is where it’s at.  There are so many fun ones on the market too and are the perfect suit for any size.

Scarfs.  I have to admit I was not really on this trend in the beginning.  I don’t always like the way I look in scarfs.  Well recently I have found some that I really like.  Especially the ones that Kay-la Handbags is making.  The fabric is pretty and bright and not too heavy.  Perfect for braiding or just wearing over your shoulders.  Plus they are names after my girl Elsbet.

Pastels.  Are pastels ever not in for the spring in summer?  Maybe because I live in the south I think that way but to me I will always be wearing.  I especially love lavender this year.

Hats.  Sunhats and fedoras and straw visors are everywhere you look.  I picked up a new hat for the beach and one for festing recently.  If you are looking for some fun hats that aren’t too expensive check out Target.  Both universal Thread and A New Day have some great hats for this season.

Crop Tops.  You may not want to wear them but I will be.  Embrace it.  It’s too hot not to show a little mid-drift now and then.

 

Hydration and Sunscreen.  Each summer I suffer at least one of two sunburns.  I am the WORST at putting on sunscreen.  Also, when I am out at the pool I never drink enough water.  This summer I am going to change it and take care of my skin.  So sunscreen, water and weekly hydration masks are going to be my most important summer trend.

Suns Out, Guns Out!  Get ready because summer is coming!

XO,

Tippy

About Me
I'm Tiffany. Although some of my favorite people call me Tippy. My favorite color is pattern. Seriously, I've never met a pattern I didn't like. My style is as bold as my personality and you should never trust my hair color. I am all about size inclusive style on a Nordstrom Sale budget.
