Although I am a huge fan of color, there is nothing sharper than a black jumpsuit. Aside from the aesthetic appeal, black is suitable all year round making it a very practical wardrobe essential. Below are a few tips to effortlessly turn your dark pieces into summertime favorites.

Colorful Jewelry

Adorn your pantsuit with colorful jewels. In the featured look, I paired a bright turquoise necklace and ring with my jumpsuit. Not only did this brighten the look, but it gave the outfit a casual boho vibe. If turquoise doesn’t suit your fancy, coral is a great alternative.

Straw Accessories

Straw hats and purses, signify the summer. Whether you’re toting your beach wares or shading yourself from the UV rays, break out the straw goodies for June and July. The same rules apply with cork sole shoes and espadrilles.

Makeup

Although it is not as obvious as the tangible products you’re wearing, your makeup also contributes to the overall look. Keep the smokey eyes to a minimum and brighten your face with moonstone shadows and red lipstick (Dragon Girl is perfection). While you’re at it consider a red mani (Big Apple Red is my fav!)

Voila! Just like that I transformed this black jumpsuit into a summertime ensemble. I look forward to rocking this look during an art exhibition at the Jewish Contemporary Museum. Call Current Clothing (415) 400-5517 to order this piece before it sells out!

That is exactly why I rocked this knit fringe number over the weekend. If you are in the market for a swimsuit coverup, spring dress, or spring sweater, this piece can pass for all of those things. Not bad for $34.99! Please keep in mind that I am 5 feet tall so it fits me more like a dress. Anyway, I slipped a full length cami underneath it and kept the styling simple with taupe platform mules. Because no outfit is complete without the right accessories, I added a pop of color by incorporating turquoise earrings, and hanging a colorful scarf off of my purse. The old scarf trick is a fashion hack worth taking note of.

Did you spend your weekend at a musical festival, or just play the part like me?! If you like what you see, shop this post below:

This dress is the definition of chic boho! If you don’t have the rust fever, purchase this flirty number in black or taupe instead. Great for a special occasion, whether it be a birthday, anniversary, or festival and you won’t go unnoticed. Suitable for tall or short legged folk, wear this dress as is, or top it with a longline vest. For a casual look, throw on a pair of flat gladiator sandals, or turn it up a notch with a pair of high heels. Naturally, I went the dressier route and styled this piece with Southwestern printed peep toe booties, and accessorized with turquoise Kendra Scott earrings, and a silver cuff bracelet. Nothing pops more than complimentary colors!

These shoes deserve a special shoutout! If you are a lover of color, then do yourself a favor and order a pair of the Maya shooties ASAP – they run true to size. Not only are these stunners visually appealing, but they are comfortable. Between the padded sole and adjustable width (thanks to the laces) you won’t have to worry about your feet hurting when you step out in these things. When you’re not rocking your favorite fringe, wear them with faux leather or black pants. Hey Leila Stone, on behalf of all other shoe addicts out there, thanks for making these shoes available at ShoeDazzle and at a fabulous price point!

One afternoon while scrolling through my Instagram feed, I came across the cute online boutique, Jess Lea. Offering an assortment of affordable and trendy fashions, there it was, the Cozumel Dress – a perfect fiesta dress for a Cabo getaway! After purchasing the item, I received a sweet personalized email from the store owner along with the tracking information. The package arrived promptly – it was a great shopping experience.

I styled this playful dress with a belt to synch in the waist, along with some turquoise Kendra Scott earrings and wood bangles. The gladiator wedge sandals were a great finishing touch to my fiesta attire along with the straw hat and “Margarita Verde.” There ain’t no such thing as an on location shoot, in Mexico, without a rita in hand!
