When I think about what brings me strength and keeps me grounded it's being surrounded by nature and swept away by our beautiful oceans. There is that feeling of an aloha spirit and a peaceful heart and this is why I love wearing Sydney Evan Jewelry. This Rainbow Heishi Necklace is grounding... literally made from shells...thank you Mother Nature! My other favorite necklace is my "Smiley Face" necklace and it never fails, someone always comments on my smiley face, with a smile!

For this spring and summer, I found myself gravitating to dresses and Elaine Kim’s shirt dresses are one of my top picks for fashion and function.
The silhouette is a go-to because of the highly versatile nature. I love that I can easily dress the 5 styles featured here up or down. Here are a few formulas I'm turning to when wearing my tried-and-true shirtdress. We’re talking everything from a chic ensemble featuring sneakers and a denim jacket to a look with booties and stylish accessories
Almost as versatile as a loafer in our book, you’ll see both Elaine and I wearing our sneakers with everything from joggers to a midi dress.

I love mixing a classic shirtdress with a denim jacket and chunky sneakers for an unexpected vibe. It’s a comfortable look that’s easy and perfect for my morning coffee run.

This silhouette is a go-to because of the highly versatile nature. So with that in mind, I’m sharing some of the outfit formulas I turn to, I’m talking everything from a chic ensemble featuring sneakers and a denim jacket to a look with booties and stylish accessories.

Keeping it simple with a neutral color, I just add a scarf and have an instantly chic look, even if I’m traveling no further than my local beach for a picnic lunch. ROAM WEAR Sandals are a must for my feet. True comfort and that edgy chic I love. Headed tropical this spring or summer? Try Roam Wear, Use Code GRATEFUL15. For beach tote, use code JANETG10

This look puts the shirt in shirtdress! A cross between the two, this style works great with a fresh pair of white pants or classic shorts of any length. Elaine Kim backpack and white sandals.

This navy shirtdress is one of my favorites! The fresh style is fashion-forward with cute accessories. And it will be perfect to pack for my next vacation. Elaine Kim’s chunky shoe is super comfortable and I’ve had this “bonjour” tote for four years and It’s great for fashion and for the beach. Her shoes fit true to size. Shop Dior bracelets here

I love a shirtdress for its ability to make getting dressed so effortless. This one in stretch linen is big on comfort and style. I keep the look on-trend by pairing it with unexpected neutral booties and a hat. These booties are from Elaine Kim and they’re so comfortable I don’t even need socks.
