Sugarplum Style | Vol. 65

Cheers to Friday, friends, and the weekend ahead! We’re in the mad-dash countdown of laundry, packing, cleaning, spray-tanning (#priorities) before we’re Hawaii bound! I’m so excited to share our adventures with you on Instagram, but have lots of great content planned for the blog, as well…so style inspiration will continue here! And I may or may not have a Kitchen Reveal planned! (I totally do!) 

Thanks for your love on the launch of yesterdays Summer of Style series, along with all your great travel tips from my Big Bend National Park recap! And speaking of love, something seriously mind-boggling, exciting, and surreal happened yesterday…the Gibson x Hi Sugarplum Collection made People Magazine!! Crazy, right?! #mindblown

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. I hope they inspire you to stretch your wardrobe further by mixing up what you already have, and thoughtfully add new things. Of course many of them involved the Gibson x Hi Sugarplum pieces since I can finally wear them in public!

My cost-per-wear on this go-to tank dress has got to be pennies by now, I’ve probably worn it more than any other in my closet. It’s lightweight, easy-to-wear, perfect for so many occasions, dresses up and down, and packs like a dream! And it’s now under $30!! How can you miss?

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS.

I’m picky about graphic tees, and this is one of the few I reach for repeatedly. I love the shrunken fit, blush pink color, and simple font. Plus, the Love, First is just so sweet. I was thrilled to see it restocked, and in new colors.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS, but size up if you like it a little more relaxed.

I was so excited to pull this embroidered dress out for the season…it’s been a favorite for several years (I wore it in Spain two years ago!). But my joy turned to sadness the next day when I discovered Mollie had chewed through the strap!! She escaped from her crate one night, and helped herself to my laundry. Fortunately, they’ve brought the dress back in an updated pattern, so I was able to quickly replace it with this one.

Fit Tip: The new dress runs large, so sized down. I got an XXS in it.

My Memorial Day combo. And fourth of July. And probably Labor Day! Patriotic holidays: Covered!

That feeling when you can finally wear your own clothing line in public!!! This black floral was perfect for dinner with the family…and also dressed up for date night!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS.

We headed out to celebrate the launch last weekend, and of course I reached for my favorite halter! So sassy and flattering, the perfect date night top.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a regular XS, but petite fits as well.

The shorts! That top!! I’m cuckoo for all the feminine details of the ruffles and bows. And these shorts have magical leg-lengthening powers, thanks to the high-waist fit.

Fit Tip: I wear a petite XS in the top, and 2 in the shorts.

I shared our family’s simple Lemon Chicken Piccata recipe last week (along with a Kitchen sneak peek!), but it’s my shorts and tee so many of you were interested in!

Fit tip: Both are true to size, I’m wearing XS and 26, but size up if you want longer inseam

Sunday best. I wore my favorite ruffled shirtdress to church last weekend, and spotted several friends in their new Gibson x Hi Sugarplum pieces, as well. I don’t think I’ll ever get over the support from my friends, family, and all of you!! I’m humbled beyond words.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a regular XS, but petite sizing is available for shorter lengths.

I love the ease of these pull-on drawstring shorts, and the embroidery makes them feel more special than basic.

Fit Tip: They are linen-blend, so will stretch a bit…I’m wearing an XS.

It may be 90-degrees outside already, but it’s freezing everywhere we go! Texas loves the air-conditioning, so my jean jacket comes everywhere with me.

Fit Tip: Peplum tee and jacket are true, I’m wearing XS in both.

This combo is so simple, but each piece has a little something extra (peplum, embroidery, tassels) that makes the whole look more stylish.

Fit Tip: Size up half in the sandals. Grab the solid cognac Tory Burch Miller Sandals up to 30% off this weekend (discount applied at checkout)!

Oh look, there’s the embroidered shorts again! This time paired with the cutest ruffle-sleeve top that feels like pajamas!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing XS petite in the top.

This pic was a throwback from our trip to Mexico, but this sassy pullover is up to 50% off, so I had to share again! It’s available in tons of colors and so cute with shorts, jeans and even over workout leggings.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS, but it does run large.


Off-the-Shoulder Pullover | Cut-Off Shorts | Flip Flops | Hat | Sunglasses

The chicest tee in my closet…adore the longer sleeve and stripes! The neckline is a little wider, but not so much you need a strapless bra. I paired it with the same leg-lengthening shorts as the seersucker I showed earlier.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small tee for more room through the arms. 


Striped Top | Ruffle Trim Shorts | Sandals | Earrings | Sunglasses

Another throwback travel pic, this one to share my favorite tank dress that I wear as a cover-up! It’s back in new colors and even stripes! This pic is from our stay in Positano, which I now realize I never blogged!! #badblogger

Fit Tip: I size up to a small for more room.

    WHAT?! People? THAT is so cool. Congrats! You deserve, and I’m super happy that you are getting more recognition & that the new line to be doing so well. I have several items on wish list that I’m working through. 😉 BTW, the Millers are also available at Neiman Marcus – they are having the $50 off $200 sale so adding something else over $2 to the cart gets you $50 off.

    Keep up the great work. Happy Hawaii’ing!!

    Is there any other place to purchase the black captiva romper since Nordstrom is out in my size already?? (Small petite I think would be good.)

    I have been searching everywhere for a piece like this and was just curious. Please let me know. Thank you!
