For hot humid days, these blouses are a must because they are so airy and cool. I love the pattern in this blouse by Susan Graver I feel like I have drifted to India when I am in it. . Find similar stylish ladies blouses at Witt International.
2. Prints- It’s all about the prints. They add so much individuality and uniqueness to your wardrobe.
3. Maxi Dresses- Oh so comfortable and chic. This maxi dress by Marc Bouwer can be worn day or night. Dressed up for work or church. Dressed down for casual relaxation.
The shoes in these four photos are Bendables by Clarks. I love these metallic-colored sandals because they work as a neutral because I can work with so many different outfits. This is wonderful.
4. Wedges- Love the comfortableness and the height I get from wedges. I feel like I am over 6 feet tall. Wedge sandals by Inso.
5. Loving the Honeysuckle pink, this hue brings a smile to my face. Skirt by Isaac Mizrahi and blouse by Denim and Company.
6. Bangles, Rings, necklaces, headbands, chokers. I enjoy wearing it all each and everyday.
I am wearing an ankle bracelet with me bare trap sandals and I think it gives off a step above the crowd look.

I am loving Tarina Tarantino nail polish. The colors are so hot!
It was heat indices of 100 degrees here in Missouri so I was thinking what should I wear to work. I want to look cool and feel cool.
One Bubbling with Elegance and Grace fashion tip is to make sure you wear the type of fabric that works with the climate that you’re in. Where I live, it’s a lot of humid and hot days in the summer so natural fibers or a blend is perfect for me.
The fabric in this sheath dress by Evan Picone is 95% Polyester and 5% Spandex. My doggie is either looking at the squirrel or eyeing the awesome print of the dress. Sheath dresses are a fashion do because I can put on a shirt over this and be completely work appropriate. It is so versatile. If you do not have a sheath dress, then this weekend check out Macy’s because they have great sales and you never know what you may find. This dress was $17.00 and I have had it for almost two years now.
Now you would think … Oh my gosh this is a synthetic fiber, so she must be sweating like there is no tomorrow. Not so! This fabric blend was so comfortable and breathable it was amazing. Also, the dress is not see-through so no need for a slip.
Blends can be so amazingly comfortable and breathable. Polyester has come a long way because I have seen this synthetic fiber woven to look like silk. Having comparisons in fiber is a good thing because we don’t always know how are “natural” fibers are being produced. Technology has really advanced in the fiber industry.
I am getting pretty deep here so let me get back to the outfit post.
Another love of mine is comfortable shoes but I want them to look stylish. These wedges are by Nina. The color is peach but in the sun they are coming across as a tan color. Kinda karma Chameleon effect. I heart them because you get the height without feeling the pain and these shoes have padding in them.
The sun is so bright I hope you can see them.
I really have to take the time to focus on what works for me. I will be going through my closet this weekend.

This dress is a great plus to my closet. I have had this dress for about three years and it always looks so fresh and carefree. This dress is definitely one of my favorite pieces! The dress is made of cotton and it’s oh so comfortable. I enjoy wearing it and it’s so versatile! You have got to work prints into your spring and summer wardrobe. Not only do prints add spice to your wardrobe but it’s also so stylish.
I paired the Dooney and Bourke croc handbag with it and all I can say is that it works in a chic way.
The polka dot computer bag is oh so fashion forward, I didn’t want the classical computer bag I wanted a statement bag and this one suits the pic.

This is my review of the New Beauty Test Tube that I purchased from QVC.
Link to Test Tube on QVC. It looks like QVC has the price listed for $32.00 now with $6.47 to ship to you. That’s only two dollars more so that’s not bad at all.
NEW BEAUTY website still has it for $29.95 plus $8.95 shipping and handling.
