Top: ASOS / Shorts: Forever21 (super old, similar here) / Bralette: Forever21 / Shoes: Choies / Purse: Rebecca Minkoff / Watch: Michael Kors / Necklace: Park Lane Jewelry (code SWEETANDSAUER gets you $10 off $30 or $25 off $75) / Sunnies: Prada via Ditto (code SWEETANDSAUER gets you a free first month)

Happy Memorial Day! Have you enjoyed your long weekend? I was in Aspen and it was so nice to get away and relax! It was chilly though, that was a bummer. Did you do anything fun?

This is a top (and outfit) I have been LOVING this last month or so. I've worn this outfit a couple of times and I just love it. So easy to throw on and go. This shirt is super lightweight and I love the longer back for a little extra drama. It's one of those shirts that can be worn multiple seasons - a staple piece for sure. For the summer I like letting a cute bralette peek out for a little something extra. I've dressed it down with the shoes you see here, and also dressed it up by wearing these shoes, which are perfect to wear with shorts for the summer.

T-Shirt Dress Look 2

Dress: ASOS c/o / Shoes: Steve Madden / Purse: R ebacca Minkoff / Necklace: Park Lane Jewelry c/o (use code SWEETANDSAUER for $10 off $30+ or $25 off $75+) / Lips: MAC 'Myth' + Buxom 'White Russian'

As promised, here are photos of the other way I styled this dress. This is a perfect example on how you can take this dress, or any similar dress for that matter, from day to night with just a few quick changes. I swapped the booties for a heeled sandal, switched bags, and threw my hair in a messy top knot. You could also change up your lip color to take it one step further. Just a few quick and simple changes can take your look from work to happy hour in no time.

In case you missed it, here is the more casual and work-appropriate way I styled this dress.

Dress: ASOS c/o / Shoes: Choies / Purse: Alexander McQueen (dupe here, here) / Necklace: Park Lane Jewelry c/o (use code SWEETANDSAUER for $10 off $30+ or $25 off $75+) / Sunnies: Prada via DITTO (use code SWEETANDSAUER for your first month free) / Lips: MAC 'Myth' + Buxom 'White Russian'

Monday, we meet again. How is it that the weekends seem to just fly by so fast?! Did you have a good weekend? We had pretty rainy weather so it was a low key weekend for me. On Sunday I taught a Pure Barre intensive, then spent the day with my family for Mother's Day. So fun to celebrate my amazing Mama!

Now I'm sure you all have a little black dress in your closet (and if you don't, get on that. Like now.). Maybe you have a few. Or maybe you're like me and 40% of your dress collection is black. Either way. Black dresses are the ultimate staple because you can do so much with them.

I love this t-shirt dress from ASOS with the higher collar. Not only does the collar add a little something, but it allows for dressing up an otherwise casual t-shirt dress. Or you can go the opposite route and dress it down even further with sneakers! If you follow me on Snapchat (@mallorysauer) then you saw I wore this with sneakers the other day. So easy and comfortable. In my experience with t-shirt dresses, the material tends to be pretty light and sometimes clingy, but this one is a little bit thicker without being too much to wear in the summer.

Tomorrow I'll be sharing pictures of this same dress, but with a little hair and shoe change to take it from day to evening. Stay tuned!
