DailyOutfit's June Look

The Outfit:  For my upcoming holiday, I need a new swimsuit to work with my existing pieces.  For ease, I recommend having at least two swimsuits so that one can be hanging up to dry.

Shop in Your Own Closet:  I said goodbye to my tankini last summer, but is the cover-up is still fun.  Whatever I buy will need to coordinate with my flips, sunglasses and hat to keep it simple.

Minimal Accessories.  On family holidays, I wear my screw-in diamond studs and a pendant necklace only.  It's easy and still feels fabulous!




MISSES:     

+ + + Soft Joie Daria Cover Up Dress + FitFlop - Fleur (Urban White) - Footwear



MISSES and PETITE: 

+ + + +



PLUS: 

+ + + + Reef - Reef Friendship Bracelet (Aqua Multi) - Footwear
 

Complete the Look:

  • Hat:  No one needs extra wrinkles!  Hats are gorgeous and provide great shade.
  • Sunglasses.  A classic pair will last you for years.  If you tend to misplace them, buy sunglass straps.
  • Cover-Up.  If you're out all day, a cover-up is essential.  Wear it to lunch then toss it later on for extra protection from the afternoon sun.

 Use the Trends
  • White:  Modern, fresh and clean.  Invite all these in with white accessories this Summer.
  • Dots and Houndstooth:  Two hot patterns this year, both provide visual distraction for your less-than-photoshopped-perfect body.  (Nobody is perfect -- really!)
  • Beach Hair:  Let your hair air-dry this Summer.  It's better for the Earth and it looks great.  Try a messy braid, loose waves or a mussed top-knot.

Change It Up?  Personally, I love keeping it simple on holiday.  If you've got two great swim outfits, just alternate.  No one is going to get bored of your sophisticated, polished look!

If you're living in your swimsuit this summer, however, treat this look like an outfit.  Buy another full look with two swimsuits to alternate.

Celebrating Fathers

In honor of Father's Day, I encourage you to salute the wonderful fathers in your life.

Beautiful and confident women celebrate and support men who truly take the time to be fathers.

Make a big deal over him.  Say thank you.  Above all, let him know you notice the many ways he is trying to be an awesome Dad.

He is redefining what it means to be a great man.

What makes you feel beautiful?


beauty is, beautiful and confident, feel beautiful, inner beauty, redefine beauty
In our society, we have created a false dichotomy between inner beauty and outer beauty.  According to definition, beauty comes from within.  

Beauty is the quality...in a person..that...pleasurably exalts the mind or spirit 
(Merriam-Webster.com) 

It is part of my mission to help everyone feel beautiful and confident every day.

So tell me -- what makes you feel beautiful?
