Sugarplum Style, Vol. 16

I can’t thank you enough for your sweet comments and emails regarding our magazine feature! Your genuine excitement and support overwhelms me…and makes me wish we knew each other in ‘real life’! I have nothing but love and admiration for my fellow bloggers, and all women working towards their dreams, and feel so grateful to be part of this giving community!

Today is time for another Sugarplum Style…snapshots of my everyday outfits, created by mixing-and-matching items in my closet. Apparently as the weather heats up, my creativity with outfits cools down, and I find myself reaching for the same lightweight pieces over and over. It’s like the heat zaps my desire to even get dressed…I want to stay inside wrapped in my latest obsession!

Plaid is typically synonymous with Fall, but a bright-colored plaid in a lightweight cotton is just as cute paired with white in the warmer months. I love this one and this one, too.

I’ve been dying for this sold out, dog-embroidered cap for months…and finally my high-school stalking skills paid off! Don’t act like you weren’t a grade-A sleuth, too! Seriously, my friends and I were so good at hunting boys down, we could have found Bin Laden in under a week. #Imkidding

This maxi is so soft, it’s like wearing pajamas in public. It’s too hot for my favorite jean and utility jackets, so I’ve been wearing white and chambray shirts to combat the chilly air-conditioning. They add a cute layer, without a lot of bulk.

Clearly pink is my signature color. Or should I say, ‘Pink is mah signachuh culluh!’ #namethatmovie You can wear the same hue from head-to-toe, just make sure they are opposite intensities. And the black and white stripes kept it from being overly sweet.

Hi Sugarplum | Sugarplum Style
I didn’t have any red in my closet, so this was as close as I got for my fourth of July outfit. I’ve since added this sweater in red, and must say, I’m pretty smitten with the color!
Hi Sugarplum | Sugarplum Style
This dress has been getting a lot of action…as shown in this {Day to Night} post.
Hi Sugarplum | Sugarplum Style

This romper was sold out in my regular size, so I took a chance and ordered one size up in the Petite…JACKPOT! So keep that little nugget in mind when you’re shopping items with dwindling inventory.

Hi Sugarplum | Sugarplum Style
The outfit is casual, comfy, and cool…but was still pulled-together enough for traveling home from the Haven conference last week. I’ll be sharing the rest of what I packed and wore soon. And yes, I snapped the pic in the security line…Atlanta, your lines are looooong!
Hi Sugarplum | Sugarplum Style
Think a bright, floral skirt like this can only been worn one or two ways? Well, think again! This makes #5 for me, and I’ll show you soon in a {5 Ways} post. #aptlynamed

Hi Sugarplum | Sugarplum Style
Floral Midi Skirt | V-Neck | Sandals | Clutch | Bracelet | Watch

If a top passes the sweat-test, it’s going to be on repeat this month! I promise I’m wearing pants. #oramI?

Hi Sugarplum | Sugarplum Style

I stopped by the new Accessory Concierge shop in Dallas, and this fabulous necklace looked so great with my outfit, I had to wear it home! I had a fun {Day to Night} post ready with this skirt, but it sold out after I posted this on InstaGram! Do you want to see it anyway, for inspiration for similar skirts you may have?

Hi Sugarplum | Sugarplum Style

I hope these posts inspire you to create new combinations from your closet! The key isn’t to have more clothes, but to mix up what you do have in new and different ways.



You can catch up with past installments of Sugarplum Style here, or follow my everyday-style outfits on InstaGram. Make sure you’re following my Facebook page, too…that’s where I post deals, steals, sales and goodies! 

P.S. Did you know you don’t have to wait for these posts to get outfit details? Just click that ‘Shop My Feed’ widget in the sidebar, and it takes you directly to each pic with links to what I’m wearing. #whatwilltheythinkofnext

    You need to stop being so darling. The rest of us are starting to feel badly about ourselves.

    Congrats on the magazine feature! I know what you mean about feeling inspired in the summer. It's much more fun to play with layers in the other seasons. You look amazing in all of these looks!

    Cassie, love these posts! Question for you…. Gap sent out an email advertising their "flippy" skirts. My first thought was what would you wear on top with these? I am not a big skirt wearer, but I would like to be. How would you style these for an everyday at home, running errands kind of day and then how would you take it up a notch to go to dinner with hubby, etc? When I saw the gap email this morning, my first thought was "I need to ask Cassie!" Ha! Thank you!

      Hi Corbie! I would wear everything from a tee and tank, to button up and pullover or cardi. Really, anything goes. They'd be cute with a tank and sandals for running around during the day (think in place of shorts), or with wedges or heels and more jewelry at night! xo

    Great outfits as always! I ordered the linen button down since I missed out on the anniversary sale one… Great price- just hope it fits! I'd love to see the post on the shirt tail skirt for inspiration. I didn't act fast enough on that one either…grrr

      I spoke too soon- the white shirt is back in stock! Now if only the skirt would show up!! Side note… I now have 3 white button downs on their way and I'm the worst decision maker ever!

    I've seen that floral midskirt around IG and absolutely love it… But wasn't sure how much wear I would get out of it. So I'm definitely looking forward to your 5 ways post!
