June 26th, 2018 by Jennifer Beile Summer Style Guide: Denim Skirts

Denim skirts are versatile and timeless, making them a mainstay in nearly everyone’s wardrobe. With summer in full swing, you’re likely already living in your favorite cut-offs, but maybe you’re thinking of updating your warm-weather uniform.

Within the last year, denim skirts have quietly made their way back into the mix of modern trends. From mini to midi, body-hugging to A-line, and with embroidered or raw-hem details, they come in shapes for all sizes, and in styles for everyone!

Whether you like to keep it simple and casual, or you pair one with an unexpected top and statement shoes, you’re sure to find a style that you’ll fall for in my round-up below!

The Fourth of July is right around the corner, meaning Wednesday fireworks, beach bonfires, and backyard barbecues with friends and family are on the horizon. While you may have given some thought about what dish or drink to bring, have you decided what to wear yet? The good news is there’s no need to break the bank, because most of these pieces are already in your closet!

Keep scrolling for a fail-proof shortcut for pulling off a patriotic look.

 

4th of July

Amy Jackson of Fashion Jackson proves you don’t need to wear a bright and daring outfit to make a statement on the Fourth of July. Keep it simple with a white off-the-shoulder top and a pair of red heels.

 

Planning on having a picnic with your best gal pals to celebrate Independence Day? Opt for a romper in a chambray material or a red floral design to keep with the spirit of the season.

 

 

Feel free to get creative with your red, white, and blue outfit combinations. Tip: Start off with a classic pair of white shorts, and work your way upwards with solid blue and red pieces. (Hello, accessories!)

 

Going monochromatic red, white or blue is always a great choice for looking immediately put-together.

 

Break out your favorite patriotic graphic tees to celebrate the holiday!

 

A top with stars or stripes is everything you need for a festive July 4th look! The best part? You don’t need to stick to a certain color scheme to pull off these patterns!

June 15th, 2018 by Samantha Weaver New In: Be Bold with Summer Print Mixing!

Mixing stripes with prints is spring style rule #1, but now that’s it’s summer, have the rules changed?

The answer? Yes and no. Stripes are still a great staple to mix prints with, but now that it’s summer, we say go bold or go home! Amp up the color with our newest printed arrivals!

 

1. Medium Gauge Stripe Top + Bright Printed Shorts

This combination of a medium gauge stripe tee and our Cherry Red Print Shorts ($24) is a match made for hot summer afternoons and balmy evenings.

 

2. Thin Stripe Tee + Printed Dress

Tip: When the print you’re pairing your striped piece with is more substantial, dial back the thickness of the stripe! Here, we’ve paired a thin stripe tee under our Paisley Print Handkerchief Dress ($35).

 

3. Wide Stripe Tee + Printed Pants

If you’re pairing your stripes with a print that has the same background color, like we’re doing with this tee and our Ivory Floral Print Palazzo Pant ($32.50), go with larger rows of white to accompany the white in the pants. This evens out the print mixing.

Come shop for bold prints and classic stripes this weekend at your neighborhood Crossroads! We’re currently buying for summer, so you could bring these new arrivals home with you simply by bringing in pieces to sell for trade credit towards your purchase!
