Cute Summer Outfit Idea

I always love looking to fashion blogs, Pinterest and the streets of New York for my outfit inspiration. Yesterday, as I was walking to lunch I saw these two 20-something girls walking through Times Square each wearing a neutral top, a floral bottom and a pop of color with their accessories. I thought to myself, now that's a great outfit! Believe me when I tell you, great outfits are hard to come by with all of the tourists in the area but you'd be surprised how many socks with sandals and jorts occur (and not ironically).

The outfits got my juices flowing and I wanted to pick some items that we have in stock at Blackbird Attic to show you how easy it is (and inexpensive) to put a cute summer outfit together. Behold...the findings: 

JCrew Magenta Pink Crossbody Purse, $39.99

Keds Rally Glitter Toe Black Sneakers, Size 8.5, 29.99

Urban Outfitters Kimici Blue Tiered Corseted Strapless Dress, Size 6, $17.50, Retail $69

What do you guys think? Would you wear something like this?

Finishing Touches

The icing on the cake. 

The cherry on top. 

Tying it up in a bow. 

There are a few sayings and doings that are synonimous with the final touch. When it comes to putting together an outfit, the accessories are always a fun finishing touch. Depending on the season, your climate and your style, accessories can come in all shapes and sizes. Many women I know love to finish their outfits with an infinity scarf and some cute stud earrings. Others prefer a statement necklace and some glitzy shoes. Whatever your finishing fancy is, Blackbird Attic has plenty for everyone in store:

A few years ago, the REALLY REALLY big sunglasses were in style. Now, thankfully, a more modern sunnie is what's all the rage.

This flat espadrille trend is legit my new obsession.  Wear these with a sporty sundress, with ankle pants and a button down or to the beach. The possibilities are literally endless.
