Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend! My weekend was good - spent some time with friends & family and just relaxed. Did you do anything fun?

 

Today I'm sharing a little black dress that I found at Whorl boutique. Now you're probably thinking, "Wow Mallory, a black dress, how exciting...not." But I assure you this dress is really cool! It's hard to tell in the photos, but the material of this dress is almost like a french terry fabric (think old school Juicy sweatsuit). Sounds weird, but I actually loved it! It definitely gives this dress a little something different and special and different, and allows for versatility. I went for a dressier look by pairing with heels and jewels, but this dress can absolutely be worn with sneakers or sandals for a more casual look. I also just died over this necklace. Seriously how cool is it?! I am absolutely loving the layered necklaces look right now, so finding a piece that did the legwork for me? Score! 

 

If you haven't picked up on this by now, I love simple pieces with lots of versatility. I like to mix it up with different fabrics or silhouettes, and then get creative with what I pair pieces with. 

 

Hope your week is off to a great start! Until next time..

If you follow me on Instagram or Snapchat (mallorysauer), you already know about this fun shoot we did with Patterns & Pops. To celebrate the launch of 'Patsy', the new Fashion Truck for Patterns & Pops, the girls at P&P set up this super fun photoshoot with local Denver Bloggers! The shoot featured all Patterns & Pops clothing, along with accessories provided by Apricot Lane Centennial (remember my outfit series with them?) We spent the morning at Matthew Morris salon getting hair and makeup done and then proceeded to do our individual shots. We ended the day with these fun group shots - glitter covered popsicles and all. It was such a fun day hanging with other local bloggers, plus getting hair and makeup done never sucks :)

Be sure to check out Patterns & Pops - Lindsay and Brittany really put their heart and soul into their business and it really shows. All the personal touches really make a difference - plus their clothes are always cute and on trend (and affordable!)

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a great weekend! I was in Lake Tahoe part of last week and through the weekend for a good friends wedding. It was so nice to get away! Plus I've never been to Lake Tahoe before so it was fun to explore. Did you do anything fun this weekend?

This week I'm sharing a dressy look - something different for Sweet & Sauer. While I LOVE my simple and casual outfits, I do love dressing up - especially for work. There's something about throwing on a dressy and professional outfit that just makes you feel like a BOSS. Am I right? Do you recognize this top? I paired the same top with sport shorts (seen here) to dress it down. I love pieces that are versatile. This outfit in particular made me feel like Rachel from the show Suits - which you should definitely watch if you haven't yet. One of my favorite shows.

This outfit also embodies one of my other favorite trends for the summer - white on white. There is something so fresh and clean about the pairing. I've been wearing white on white a ton this summer and letting my accessories and shoes be the statement of the outfit.

ANNOUNCEMENTS!

I have some things to share with you all! First, I finally started a Twitter (@mallorysauer) account specifically for my blog. Be sure to follow me if you have Twitter!
