One Shoulder Trend (& Link Up)

July 26, 2018

This one-shoulder trend is a fun look for a date night or a vacation.

I challenge you to wear a ruffly one-shoulder blouse and NOT feel festive and sassy!

Top /Slimming Pants /Earrings /Shoe (option)/Sunglasses /Lipstick

So, I just lucked into this cute top. My buddy Rachel bought it for herself and the size wasn’t quite right … so lucky me!  Since then, they restocked it in her size so we can be twins now whenever we want to. Ha!

What to do you think, Rachel? Salsa lessons or something, in matching outfits?!!  ?

Also wearing my favorite slimming pants from Chico’s and my pretty new lightweight earrings from Kendra Scott.

ICYMI, be sure to check out my latest kimono, tips how to rock the oversized trend, and what I bought at the Nordstrom sale.

I know summer officially just started a month ago, but as a teacher who’s going back to work in a couple of weeks, I feel like my summer is winding down.  But before it does, I’m determined to squeeze the absolute most fun out of what’s left!

As always, thanks so much for stopping by!

 

Fun & Fashion,

Dawn Lucy

    Dawn,
    I LOVE an all-black outfit with leopard pumps, and your outfit is darling!! I tend to shy away from one-shoulder tops, but this one is making me reconsider! Haha! Thanks for sponsoring the Link Up, too.

    • Reply Dawn Lucy July 28, 2018 at 5:49 am

      You know, it’s funny because I’m not sure I would’ve bought this for myself. But since it was given to me, I tried it, and I have to say I really love it! 😀

  • Reply Cheryl July 27, 2018 at 12:36 pm

    Dawn, I love that top so much—that was an incredibly lucky score from your friend! I might have to borrow this outfit idea for my next date night!

    Yes, absolutely squeeze in as much summer fun as possible. I do love your one shoulder blouse, but for me I find them uncomfortable. You look totally chic!

    I love one shoulder tops but have a love-hate relationship with strapless bras. However, I recently saw this *http://bit.ly/2LvNdGk* bra on M&S which I thing I just might order… You look stunning btw!!

    • Reply Dawn Lucy July 28, 2018 at 5:53 am

      Yeah, strapless bras are notoriously uncomfortable …. can’t argue with that one! Will check your idea! 🙂

    So cute! And I am loving those leopard pumps!

    I love this style! The one shoulder and ruffles are perfect. Love the hint of animal print here too.

    So so adorable but this is not a style I can pull off.

    • Reply Dawn Lucy July 30, 2018 at 3:32 pm

      It’s always good to know what you can pull off and what you can’t. I could never pull off a romper. I had a cute lil 20-something try to convince me that I could, but hey, there’s a reason these thighs haven’t been out in public in years! ;D.

      Thanks so much for stopping by!

    You look gorgeous! Love those leopard pumps with the Black 🙂
