My personal style has evolved over the past ten years. The only thing that has remained constant, preppy flair. Last year over brunch, I told my husband that I wanted to take a note out of his playbook. He is an attorney and wears a suit each day. I would say a majority of his suits are navy and most of his shirts are in the blue family. I am a lady on a mission to add more navy to my wardrobe! I have always gravitated to black over navy, until now. I have banned myself from purchasing another black dress for at least six months. Y'all, it has gotten out of control!

This spring I have found a few great navy pieces to incorporate into my closet. The moment I saw this Gingham ruffle-hem dress, I knew it had to become mine. The length of this dress is fantastic; I wish more dresses came in this option. It also fits in all of the right places (if you know what I mean). To me, when looking for a dress, I want to fell confident and comfortable. It's the worst when you find a dress, and it's too tight in the booty area. When you have curves, you have to try things on to figure out what size works best for you. Don't get hung up on the number; I fluctuate depending on the cut and structure of the garment. There are only a few sizes left online, but you might be able to find one at your local J.Crew store. Right now it's on sale and an addition 30% off with code SHOPNOW.

This outfit is complete with the statement earrings and necklace. If I am sure of one thing: tassels are the 2017 summer trend. These two pieces are a little on the pricey side for a trend. However, they are both on sale right now. I usually tend to be on the cheaper side when it comes with trendy items. However, I think that I will wear these for years down the road. They are beautifully made and very high quality. If you are a Sooner girl (or have one in your life), you should get these earrings for gameday. I have a feeling that you will see more of this necklace and earring combo on the blog all season long.

A few weeks ago, I wore this dress to a lovely spring wedding. It was a little cooler that day, so I ended up putting a 3/4 length ruffle sleeved navy top under it. I am kicking myself for not taking a photo. I thought it looked incredible, but that's just my opinion. I love when you can make items in your closet (like this dress), work more than one way. It's all about being flexible and being willing to take risks.
