Hi Friends – it’s been a loooong time.  Apologies are in order as I have been in a world of my own.  I was gone for the majority of March, which was my birthday month, so I am taking over April…haha.  I made my first trip, but not last, to the Motherland, Vietnam.  It was an emotional, life-changing trip, and I can’t wait to share some more photos with you all!

My last post was in February and honestly, with the weather outside, we should still be wearing sweaters!  But maybe by wearing Spring clothes, Spring will decide to officially stay.  I am getting my Spring/Summer wardrobe together and this outfit is one of my favorites.  Two of my favorite recent buys, my Gucci Ace Sneakers and BP. Denim Jacket, will be on the Insta constantly.

Favorite Summer Outfits - Stylista Esquire - @stylistaesquire

Hi Friends! A bunch of my favorite items I have bought/worn over the past couple of months are back in stock in pretty much ALL sizes, so I had to share them with you!  As we all know, clothes come and go, and things (especially in the days of social media) sell out so quickly.  Below, are some of my favorite summer outfits from this season that you can still wear now and into early Fall.  And for my gals in warmer climates, lucky you can wear them for much longer!

The Best Peplum Top under $30 + My All-Time Favorite Coffee Shop in D.C.

 

The Best Peplum Top Under $30 - Stylista Esquire - @stylistaesquire

It’s official.  This BP. Peplum Top is my favorite, looks great, ride-or-die top for Summer.  I love a good peplum and this style is so perfect.  It hits me at a great spot, which doesn’t make me look like a balloon.  The material is a thick linen, with a lining, so it is super lightweight and cool, but at the same time, very structured, which I really like in a peplum top.  In my opinion, the high neckline is super flattering on my smaller chested gals.  For this top, I wear these Hollywood Fashion Secrets Coverups.  They are super comfortable, easy to use, and traceless under dresses and tops!  Also, pssh…I’m also going to wear this top in the Fall with either a long cardigan or moto jacket!

My Go-To J-Crew Factory Summer Work Dress

J.Crew Factory Summer Work Dress - Stylista Esquire - @stylistaesquire

The Friday before a holiday weekend is always exciting, BUT the Fourth of July decided to fall on a Tuesday this year.  For the unlucky few, we still gotta go to work on Monday!  What a tease… Oh well, maybe I can do some online shopping at work.  Shh!  Currently, everything at J.Crew Factory, both in-store and online, is 50% off, including my favorite go-to work dress.  I LOVE a good striped dress, and if I must confess, I have the counterpart to this dress, which is  white with black stripes.  And yes, there totally is a difference.

The Basic Black Tank Dress, 3 Ways – Part 2

The Basic Black Tank Dress, Part 2 - Stylista Esquire - @stylistaesquire

Hi Friends!  I had an unplanned week of hiatus from the blog and social media, but for good reason.  My dad had a stroke last week and we spent almost a week in the hospital.  After some prayers and perseverance, he is back home and doing great.  So great, that I am running after him trying to make him sit down so I can take his blood pressure!  Dads never want to listen… In the end, events like this make you thankful for the people around you who help you through it.  So to all of you who sent me texts, messages, comments, and phone calls, I appreciate you so much.  xoxo

Now onto the clothes.  I bring to you, Part 2 of The Basic Black Tank Dress, Styled 3 Ways.  You an catch Part 1 here.  As mentioned in that post, my basic black tank dress is from Lou & Grey, and I absolutely love it.  There are only a few sizes left in this exact one, but you can get a classic black tank dress anywhere and at any price point!
