TSB: July Rack Up

WHOA, for the first time ever (since doing these rack ups) I haven't really had a consistent theme my style leaned to. I basically went from sporty to boho to glam all throughout the month. It was actually pretty fun to experiment now that I'm looking back.

See! I was all over the place and even tried my hand at styling overalls (how do you think I did by the way?). My favorite looks had to be the floral skirt and the lace dress for sure - both a bit out my element but both made me feel super elegant which I loved.

Which were you favorites?

Introducing the New Body by Victoria

Six months after the end of January I tend to go on the hunt for new bras. Not any bras in particular, but one that fits perfectly and wont make this summer hotter than it is. Being the daredevil that I am, I took the Body by Victoria Challenge before stocking up on my mid-summer basics (nude, white, black) and a few fun pieces.

It's a lot easier than it sounds (trust) and you don't even a measuring tape. The Body by Victoria Challenge will make assessments about the current bra you're wearing and it's fit. This risk-free challenge offers free shipping and returns if you purchase the recommended bra size as well.

For me, I wore one of my regular bras (the no-frills basic kind) and went through the questions. I clicked on my current size, whether my straps fall off or stay on (they tend to fall), how the band feels and how the cups fit. After a few questions the quiz gave me my right size and I had the option of building my boutique or going straight to the shop. Obviously I went for the shop.

In the end I received the perfect shape, demi, and lounge bra - all of them were spot on, smooth (no lines) and incredibly soft. One of them had a lace detail and it was pretty close to a no-show underneath my top as well. You'll be impressed with their array of colors and styles - something for everyone.

I will admit my favorite addition to V.S.'s collection is their Lounge Collection. I legit bought a few (read: a lot) more of these incredibly soft bras in nearly every color. They are being marketed as bras to chill in but I think you can wear them under anything.

Sidenote: earlier this year I learned its not good to wear one single bra daily and instead let it breathe for a full day after being worn... Mind blown right? For that reason alone, it's good to bookmark Victoria's Secret next sale (August 8th thru 11th) in which you'll get a $25 gift card with every three bras purchased from their new line. Even better, when you shop Victoria Secret through ShopAtHome.com you get 2% cash back until the 31st and then 1% after that.

While you're on the site taking the challenge don't forget to enter the Body by Victoria Sweeps. With the purchase of any Body by Victoria bra you are automatically entered to win a Jaguar - click over to enter here.

Overalls for Summer

Remember Piperlime? These Paige overalls were priced so low (under $50) I took the plunge and committed myself to trying out something new and scary.

I've already worn them on my trip to Disney World paired with a turtleneck and loved the look. However now that we're in the thick of summer turtlenecks are not going to fly. Since overalls are sort of a foreign concept I needed help from the fashion gods who commonly go by the name of #stylechat and Pinterest. I dived right into the deep internets and still came up empty - combinations of overalls and heels just aren't my thing during a weekend.

In the end I went with my gut and dressed for me. Relaxed and ready to tackle the weekend ahead.

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban  Bracelet: Lulu Dhrama  Necklace: Nashelle  Overalls: Paige  Shirt: Marine Layer  Bucket Bag: Ora Delphine  Sandals: c/o Bearpaw  Lipgloss: Maybelline's Color Elixir Lip Color in Captivating Coral  Blush: theBalm How 'Bout Them Apples? Cheek & Lip Cream  Eyeliner: NYC Big Bold & Precise Felt Tip Eyeliner  Mascara: Benefit Roller Lash

I wore my Brooklyn sandals from Bearpaw to tackle any and all errands in Brooklyn and a white tee. I also kept my bucket bag filled my beauty favorites in case there was a boozy brunch calling my name or improntu dance party (I highly recommend the RollerLash mascara - it's amazing).  

So how did I do? Knowing how my overall struggle is (get it) how would you style & conquer the overalls?
