Summer is officially here and I am thrilled to share that I have partnered with my friends at Dia&Co as their Style Advisor! Not only will I be sharing my favorite Dia picks and styling tips each season, but also bringing you some fresh videos {catch the first one here if you missed it}, and working on some projects behind the scenes for the Dia community. I am so honored to be working with a company that shares my fashion voice… empowering plus size women to look and feel their best every single day, step out of their fashion fears, and offering an amazing service that gives women the tools to create and feel great about their personal style.

Memorial Day weekend kicked off the summer season, and I am sharing my top Dia picks {a few that you can buy now} and you can request in your next Dia&Co box! If you are not familiar with the Dia&Co service, check it out here, and check out my summer picks and style tips below!

Sleeveless Floral TopsA printed top {especially in floral and fauna} is an instantly chic and festive go-to this time of year, and keeping it sleeveless keeps it cool during the day, and easy to add a lightweight layer in the evening. 

Halter & Choker Style Tops

Choker neck tops ruled last fall, and this trend is definitely carrying over to summer with shoulder baring high-neck detail that gives us total 90’s vibes! Wear it with a blazer in the office for a daytime look, then ditch the jacket and add a pair of chic, printed heels for a quick evening switch-up.

Kimonos

I have found that one of the biggest concerns for my clients is how to layer in the summer and still stay cool. Kimono style cardigans are an ideal solution to lightweight layering… the perfect amount of coverage to create a polished look with a style that stays breezy and flows away from the body in light fabrications that keep us comfortable!

Distressed Boyfriend Jeans
Casual, cool, and super relaxed is the name of the game for summer, and boyfriend jeans are equipped for it all! Slouch em’, roll em’, and pair with literally any of your favorite summer tops. They also pair perfectly with any shoe- a sneaker, sandal and even a heel!

Shift Dresses

Shift dresses are great for any body type and work well for all our favorite summer occasions… backyard bbq’s, vacations and getaways, and even as a swim cover up. Add a panama hat, cute sandals and a tassel necklace to complete the look!

Soft Pants

Soft pants are fresh alternative to denim for those days you want something a bit more relaxed and just for overall wardrobe versatility. Dress them up or down, and even wear the to the office in an appropriate fabrication.

Bold Trend Detail Tops  It’s all about the cold-shoulder, ruffle sleeves, and tie-neck tassel details this summer {and off-shoulder tops too}!Pair with a crisp pair of white denim or tucked into a fun skirt for versatile ways to make a statement for any summer occasion.

Graphic Tanks & Tees
Make your summer statement with graphic tanks and tees galore! Band tees, festive summer graphics, nods to pop culture, or an artistic, abstract designs that offer endless inspiration for showcasing your personal style.

Cuffed Denim ShortsDon’t be afraid of shorts! Just like any other item in your wardrobe, it’s about finding the right ones for you, specifically the length. It may require trying a few different pairs to see which length you are most comfortable with.

Printed Dresses Probably the easiest thing to wear for ANY summer occassion… pick the style and print that you are most drawn to, throw it on and style it out with your best summer accessories. Easy, breezy, cool, and chic!
