Some days I just want to match because honestly, it is just easy, right? Well to make my gray dress and booties a bit more exciting, I added some navy polka dot tights and my mother’s polka dot earrings. Sometimes I forget that earrings can add such a great touch to an outfit and after remembering to wear one of my more unique pairs with this outfit, I’m kicking myself in the butt for the days I forget to put earrings in at all. That my friends is life. It happens!
Happy Friday Eve!
Hi everyone… it was a long week, but I am glad to be back and get into the groove of things again. Thank you to everyone for the sweet comments and warm thoughts and wishes, I really appreciate all the support. I hope you all had a great week and just wanted to do a short Instagram post today to catch up.
In other exciting news, this week is MNFashion Week! I have never been to an event before and tonight I am attending the Emerging Designer Showcase where I will also be taking street style photos for WhatIWear! I hope to see a lot of designer dresses from leading fashion designers! My friend who is in the fashion industry will be joining me and hopefully meeting up with a couple other fashion bloggers! It is going to be a long day getting back to work, but I am definitely looking forward to tonight! Hopefully I will be able to share photos with you tomorrow (as long as I don’t crash right when I get home 
) Happy Monday!
Our waitress gave me a fun meter (set on max) @ Old Chicago, Lia Sophia Peaches N’ Cream ring set is a great accessory at work, Emma all tired out trying to escape from the Iowa State jersey I put on her, New fall nail color from Revlon, Me & the bestie at Rafters restaurant in Stillwater, This is why I love Bloody Mary bars HELLO OLIVES, my new favorite vintage dress I found at an antique shop in Stillwater for $25, roses from the bf to cheer me up, A beautiful rose to celebrate the life of my grandma, My sister, me, my aunt and cousin displaying the roses… family helps get you through
Found this vintage polka dot skirt at Goodwill back home in Iowa this weekend when I went shopping with my mom… couldn’t be happier with the find and wanted to wear it right away back to work yesterday! It is cute, comfy and a great transitional piece for when the weather starts to get colder. This blouse is one of my favorites and you can look for a range of similar ladies blouses online too. Happy Wednesday
Well it has been far too long since my last Inspired Style post (uh yeah… back in March?! haha) but when I saw the episode of Jane by Design with the yellow Zara blazer, a floral bustier and striped skirt, I knew I wanted to recreate this look. I took my pale yellow vintage blazer (love the bright color better but I don’t have one), paired it with a dark gray tee and floral scarf for the floral part of the outfit and then paired it with my new striped maxi skirt (I wasn’t supposed to buy anything this month but for $12 at Nordstrom Rack I just could not say no!!!!!). I loved the outcome and decided to wear this mixed pattern outfit to work. Nothing better than a fun outfit at work! What do you think?! How do you mix stripes and florals?
My work uniform during spring and summer almost always includes a pencil skirt and pumps and when I need a little something extra, I go for a bright patterned shirt like this one that I recently found at H&M. Layering a couple necklaces and adding a bracelet, it is an easy, comfy ensemble that wears well throughout the work day! Happy Friday Eve everyone!
So maybe it is a little bit early for nautical inspired work wear, but who doesn’t love a good red, white and blue pairing? I bought this openwork sweater from Forever 21 just a couple weeks ago and when I was hanging it in my closet, I saw my light blue work blouse. Instantly I knew how I was going to wear this new piece to work! I also know that the taupe color will be extremely versatile for me whether I wear it to work again layered over a blouse or for fun, casual looks! Happy Wednesday!

When it comes to work wear during the transition from winter to spring, I seem to have my own fashion transition with a shift from skirts to pants. This usually happens because I get sick and tired of wearing tights. And I know a lot of fashionistas hate wearing tights, but I really do love wearing tights… so when I get to this point I am so ready for bare legs. Although the weather has been significantly warmer lately, I’m still not sure that it is “bare legs season” yet in Minneapolis. [Read more...]
