The Perfect Striped Midi Dress for Spring

*I told you guys I would be wearing this jacket non-stop*

Most of you guys know that my husband John is a high school English teacher, so each year I look forward to Spring Break! Last year, we took a road trip through the south and hit Gatlinburg, Nashville, Memphis and Oxford and it was so much fun.  And so much driving.  This year we decided to go visit some friends in Atlanta and then I would take John to Athens, home of UGA, where I spent my first year of college.  MUCH more to come about Athens, but here’s one of my looks from our trip.

A Love Affair with A Tommy Jeans Jacket

It was true love at first sight when I was perusing ASOS, looking for the perfect denim jacket. I immediately added it to my cart, without even looking at the price. Then, I cringed a little when I saw it was ~$200, then realized it was Tommy and thought, well it’s probably going to be worth it. So I ordered it and decided to take it for a little spin and see if I just couldn’t live without it.

Denim Refresh with Evidnt Los Angeles

The Crystal Press has new denim for your wardrobe this spring: Evidnt Los Angeles

There will never be a season where denim isn’t on our minds. Whether it be the perfect pair of skinnies for every occasion (this striped number is still on rotation) or the denim skirt that can go from a Spring day to night effortlessly, there is no denying that denim is a major wardrobe powerhouse.  That being said, you can find denim pieces at just about any price point but discovering the cuts and designs that suit your taste and style can be a challenge. This, my friends, is something that is my everyday challenge and I am so excited to share with you that I have found another denim brand that I love: Evidnt Los Angeles.

I have had back to back success with Evidnt online shopping orders. First I loved this black pair of their wide leg jeans and then, I had mega success with this uneven hemmed skirt I’m wearing in this blogpost. I love the asymmetrical hem and the strategic frayed edge that adds just enough flare to any outfit. I especially like that Evidnt’s price point is affordable around the one hundred dollar mark and under. You can’t go wrong with the casual yet modern look of Evidnt’s laid back California designs. See for yourself – you can shop Evidnt Los Angeles at Anthropologie, Nordstrom, and ASOS.

(and hurry because there are a lot of pieces on sale beauties!)

Monochrome: Shades of Grey

As I stepped out of the airport last night at 10pm into the pouring rain, it felt surreal that simply 10 hours before I had been basking in the sun in the Dominican Republic. But alas, isn’t that how it always feels when you come back from vacation? It’s like “duh duh duhnnnnnn” was playing in the background as our return soundtrack. The rain was just an added bummer on top of the vacation return blues!

Affordable Fashion: The Red Trend

Looking for affordable fashion options? Todays post is for you!

When it comes to fashion, we will be the first ones here at The Crystal Press to say that affordable fashion ALWAYS put a smile on our face. Don’t get me wrong, we love to find ways to get fashionable investment pieces – but that option is not always in the cards for Rebecca and I. That being said, affordable fashion has become something we have gotten really good at during our time fashion blogging on TCP and we are excited to share our knowledge with you in the name of the pop of red trend!

Have you noticed the red trend craze or is that just us? From Rebecca’s lookbook outfit post here with red earrings to these looks I have pulled up for this fashion trend focus post – red seems to be all around us! I have gathered up some great pieces, from accessories to clothing, that will add the perfect amount of red into your wardrobe without requiring too much effort or breaking the bank here:

Mixing Textures: Leather, Velvet & Lace

When you find the perfect velvet + lace slip dress on sale at Zara, and find these kickass boots on sale too – well, that’s a great day.  I hit the end of winter Zara sale pretttttty hard a few weeks ago and am stoked about my finds! Lately, as Cath and I have been trying to keep things interesting here on TCP, I’ve been really into stepping out of the box and trying new looks that I may not feel 100% comfortable with.  This mixed textures look was one definitely of them!
