Happy Friday ladies and gents! I include gents in this post because this will benefit all AND there is a cameo from my husband D. There is a lot to talk about today so I will be skipping the typical H54F format. This requires our full attention.
This past Tuesday a new Hyvee opened in my neighborhood. I honestly did not know much about Hyvee before it opened. I drive past it almost every day to go to work. As I watched the construction I got more and more excited. Not only is it a grocery store, which we desperately needed one closer to us, but they had a Starbucks (whoo!), gas station, clinic, post office, restaurant and my favorite: clothes! I had to check it out.
The clothing brand in the store is F&F, which is a UK retailer teaming up in some Hyvee stores. Hyvee was pretty busy as it was the opening day. Getting through was a bit stressful as I was looking around for F&F. When I turned the corner I saw all the lights and it was like a moth to a flame. They have a wide selection and a variety of styles. Plus, clothes for men and kids! D and I scattered to our respective corners. After a few minutes we met in the middle to discuss our finds. There were so many cute pieces it was hard to choose.
They had so many on trend styles including the cold shoulder, crop pants, block heels and a mix of Summer to Fall colors. The trick for me is finding something that will work both in my professional and personal life. Keeps my wardrobe at a manageable rate. I ended up with a swing dress, peplum top and striped tunic. I am really into dresses right now. As a young girl dresses were torture for me, but as an adult they are the easiest way to be fashionable on these humid summer days. I love this sleeveless swing dress with the cutout. Swing dresses are super flattering on all shapes and the bouncy nature makes them super fun for summer. Just has that summer vibe even in my trademark black. For work I could throw on a denim jacket and later pair with a block heel and show off that cutout for a night out. This peplum top stood out to me right away. It has a textured fabric that communicates a casual vibe. What can I say? I love a peplum silhouette. How could you not love this? For a warm summer day walking around Minneapolis I might pair it with my favorite cutoff shorts and a messy bun. So easy. Lastly, I grabbed this striped tunic. This seems the most professional for me and I LOVE a stripe. I am a girl of simple tastes ;). This works perfectly with a dark jean or a thick pant. A couple small jewels and you are ready to go.

D found a few good things for himself. First, he is so handsome right? He was pretty nervous to take the pictures but somehow is more of a natural than me. D needed shorts desperately. His work has chewed up most of his good ones. That was his first goal. Then, like me, he has some go-to looks. He loves a short sleeve button up and an easy tee. Also, he loves blue. He grabbed these pretty quickly. I love the shorts that has a cargo look but without all the bulk. This button up is perfect for him with the checked pattern. Lastly, every guy needs a bright summer tee. He has been experimenting with brighter colors and with his summer glow it highlights that perfectly.
