Cheers to Friday, friends! I hope you’ve had a great week, with fun plans ahead. We headed to the lake for a little family time before we drop the teenager off at camp Sunday night. This year he’s headed to Colorado for two weeks!! I’m going to miss him like crazy, but know he’s going to have an amazing time making lifetime memories. Plus, it’s fun to have an only child for a bit, too.
Today it’s time for another round of Sugarplum Style, snapshots of my everyday outfits I share on Instagram and Facebook, created by mixing and matching items in my closet. My hope is that they inspire you to stretch your wardrobe further by mixing up what you already have, and thoughtfully add new things.
Let’s start it out with this comfy style, perfect for a day of travel. The jeans are so soft and stretchy, and the tee honestly feels like pajamas. How can you beat that combo?! And this oversized tote is so sturdy and roomie, making it a great carry-on.
Peplum Tee | Jeans | Sandals | Tote | TasselÂ
This dress combines my two favorite dress elements…racerback and stripes! It’s crazy-soft, too, and fully restocked.
Striped Dress | Chambray | Necklace
Speaking of racerback, this dress accompanies on literally every single trip. It folds to the size of a deck of cards, and never wrinkles! Not to mention, it’s equally cute with heels or sneakers.
Purple Dress | Necklace | White Clutch | Sandals
We kicked Summer Break off with a trip to Montana to visit my brother and sisters…and the weather couldn’t have been more glorious! I could get used to waking up to crisp mornings in June!! This linen shirt is perfectly slouchy and preppy…and the jean shorts are in constant rotation. Oh, and this magic potion transformed my grungy sneakers back to bright white! I shared the process over on my Instagram Story…do you follow me there?
Pink Button Down | Jean Shorts | Sneakers | Cap
Is anything more quintessentially Summer than white eyelet?! I think not! And this dress is so breezy light, perfect for steamy days!
White Dress (similar) | Clutch | Sandals | Hat | Earrings
I’ve never been much for one-piece swimsuits…but I realize now that’s mostly because I’d yet to find one that fit well, looked chic (and a little bit sexy!), and was comfortable. I changed my tune when I found this one. It sucks you in in all the right places, and creates a flattering silhouette. (I sized up to a 4, but I have a longer torso.) I’m also pretty much cuckoo for these kimono-style cover-ups this year.
Black Swimsuit | Kimono | Straw Hat
Traveling home in the same pajama-worthy jeans (love the cropped length and raw hem!), but this time with an equally soft blousey shirt. It has the cutest pin tucks at the shoulders for a feminine fit.
Top | Jeans | Sandals | Tote | Tassel
This dress has served me well already this season…dinners, work meeting, and even lunch with the girls.
Floral Dress | Nude Sandals | Pink Bag
Stripes + all the colors!! Could a top be any more ‘me’?? I sized up to a small for a relaxed fit, and it’s so cute with jeans and shorts. These cut-offs are a great fit, as well, and super price point!
Striped Sweaters | White Shorts | Sandals | Straw Fedora
Oh look, those perfect white cut-offs again! This time with a linen-blend tank…and those palms are sequins!!
Striped Tee | White Shorts | Nude Sandals | Tote Bag
I posted an Instagram Story wearing this suit, and the messages came pouring in! Apparently a lot of us love a high-neck swim suit with modest bottoms. I love the stripe and floral pattern combo, and the high-neck is perfect for protecting my chest from too much sun.
Montana has my heart for many reasons….sweeping meadows and rushing rivers are two of them!
Striped Top | Pink Shorts | Sneakers
That, and massive waterfalls! That haze around me is the spray from the falls!! And of course the world’s best hiking shoes came with me, and didn’t disappoint. They’re seriously so good for all kinds of terrain.
Workout Top | Sports Bra | Leggings (similar) | Hiking Shoes
I love dressing up shorts for a casual, but sassy, Date Night style.
White Top | Black Shorts | Black Sandals | Leopard Clutch
If you’ve seen me in the last two weeks, I was likely wearing this dress. #sorrynotsorry
Black Maxi | Black Sandals | Tote | Earrings
A close-up look at my newest swimsuit obsession. Because sometimes a girl needs a little extra support and coverage, but still look her best.
Black Swimsuit  | Pink Sunnies | Straw Hat
Swing dresses are my jam…for their easy fit, room for dessert, and versatility. This one is extra thick and stretchy, and now comes in several bright colors. It’s cute with sneakers, wedges, and even flip-flops and a swimsuit. This straw tote is uber-lightweight and cute with so many Summer outfit combos.

Too many cute things!! That swimsuit, the pink button-up, the dresses! I love it all!
So much goodness today! That pic of you in the striped dress and the statement necklace is definitely a new favorite!
You have some of the best accessories! Love that bright bag charm. I’m also loving the striped peplum tee. Fun basics are my jam! I just ordered that striped palm tank from J.Crew the other day. So fun for summer! Happy Friday, Cassie!
Thanks Britney! That palm tank is too cute, and you can’t beat the price!! xo
Can you please tell me the name of the cleaner you used on your sneakers? Mine are way overdue for a cleaning! TIA!
Hi Amanda…I used this stuff and it worked wonders! http://bit.ly/2rDwq9j
Love the black one piece swimsuit. Great for gals over 50! Also, love the floral halter dress.
I ordered the racerback dress when I saw it in you…when I got it the arm holes are very big, do you wear a special bra with it? I am about your size, what size did you order? Thanks! You are my favorite!!
The Leith dress? I wear an XS…and yes, some colors have larger armholes than others. I wear this bra with it and it’s perfect! http://bit.ly/2lEInWj
Yes, that you! I ordered the small so maybe that was the issue. Have a good weekend, excited to read DRD…my absolute favorite!
I ordered the high neck floral swimsuit and love it! However after only one wear it’s already yellowing and dingy from the sunscreen and pool. How do you keep yours white?
Really??? Mine is still brand new looking. I do rinse it in fresh water after every use, and hang to dry. I’m also careful not to get sunscreen on it. I’d try soaking it overnight in mild soapy water…I hope that helps!! It’s such a cute suit!
Although these cloths would not look as hit on me as it does on you, still, I love, love them all.
