Maddy Lynott is currently a college Freshman. Her sense of style is just one of the many attributes that makes her so charismatic! Aside from dressing cute and original, Maddy dedicates much of her time to ministry opportunities by volunteering with children at a local community and even going on global missions trips! In fact, Tiffany (from our recent post Trends with Tiffany: A Classy and Sweet Style) and Maddy are both going to Zambia this summer! Maddy's love for God and love for people shines throughout everything she does.

Maddy's first look in the city was practically pulled right off Pinterest because it was so coordinated and put together.

She gave Top Buttons the scoop on where she bought all the items she's wearing, so we've done the web-hunting for you and have found similar essential pieces to accomplish a look like Maddy's!

[blockquote]I love items from Target because they are like a copycat of J.Crew (but a lot cheaper), which is where I get a lot of my style inspiration from.[/blockquote]

Maddy received this dress as a gift from a friend who originally purchased it at a consignment boutique, which offers such a one-of-a-kind and sentimental touch to this outfit.

[blockquote]The dress can easily be transformed into something casual or fancy with the adding of accessories and change of shoes. I love the hippie look of the lace and sleeves.[/blockquote]

The Color Block Wedge

Sample-3.jpg

Fierce & Bold OR flat & boring? It is a simple question that I refer to as "WEDGE you Rather"?!

Deciding on a shoe that adds vavoom to any summer look is no game. Wedges have been, and will always be a summer favorite, but we urge you to spice things up with a color block style wedge!

sample 1

Color blocking as shown below, ranges from two-toned straps to patterned wedges (the options are limitless).

 So "would you rather" stick to the mundane sandal, or try a few pops of color with a vibrant color block wedge? The choice is all yours...
