EASY BREEZY

April 13, 2016/ Alexandra Evjen

Every woman needs a dress that you can throw on and you instantly feel beautiful. During the fall and winter little black dresses do the trick, but in the spring and summer something bright and airy is what I gravitate toward.

Rebecca Taylor always makes me feel so pretty. She designs feminine and fashionable clothes that always fit me well. Neiman Marcus carries her designs, and anytime I'm in that store I will run straight to the CUSP section and shop her clothes.

I'm still in my post-partum body phase, so loose dresses are best for me. I like designs that cut in at the shoulders because it balances my chest and mid-section. The midi length is great for my mom lifestyle where I'm always playing on the floor.

I also love that I can wear a fancy dress like this one and then pair it with some simple Old Navy sandals. I've never been one to wear head to toe designer, but I do love having special pieces in my closet that are quality and feel special.

Three Dress for Five Days: Perfect Maxi

March 27, 2015/ Alexandra Evjen

Maxi dresses have to be the most comfortable style of dress there is. Okay, moomoo's and house coats might be more comfortable, but who wants to wear those?

This elegant, black maxi dress by Kokoon is my third choice for Kokoon's style challenge. The color definitely makes it more versatile than most dresses, but because of it's simplicity I can easily accessorize this dress to make it more boho for a day with Elle or a trip to the farmer's market. I added a lace kimono, hat, clutch and a statement necklace with ease.

By simply removing my hat and kimono, I am left with an elegant dress that is more suitable for church, brunch or a shower.

I love when style isn't complicated and doesn't require too much effort to feel beautiful. Kokoon's dresses are exactly that for women.

My Summer Outfit

July 29, 2014/ Alexandra Evjen

A simple white dress is my summer go-to item when I want to get ready for a date with my hubby, go out with the girls or have a business meeting. You can dress it up or down with sandals or heels, a blazer or a chambray shirt, jewelry or a simple headband.

This outfit is what I would wear shopping or to a coffee meeting. It's relaxed and yet put together. I also love this combination because the chambray shirt can easily come off and be worn around my waist when it's hot, but it's the perfect cover up with I'm in a cold air conditioned building.

The tiny white polka dots in this Shop and Apparel shirt really tie in the white dress. I added my white, vintage Dooney & Bourke bag and a colorful headband to pull it all together.
