Outfits

Earth Tones

March 14, 2012

Pin It

The simplicity of pairing various shades of neutrals from tan to dark brown can turn into a surprisingly chic end result.  This outfit started with my new nude dress that I got on sale at a local Minneapolis store and from there it went in this order: polka dot cardigan, belt and oxfords.  My oxfords are always hidden away in my closet (sadly) and every time I wear them, I remember how fashionable they can make an outfit look!  Unfortunately my shoes are in a big pile in my closet right now because my turning shoe holder broke (oops!).  I’m going to need to figure out a better way to organize my massive (to say the least) shoe collection that continues to grow.  Back to the outfit: with the dress, I wanted to pair a my beige cardigan with earthy green polka dots that also always seems to get hidden in my closet.  I guess this outfit stemmed from the hidden treasures of my closet!

    I know what you mean, Rachel! I used to pair these colors often about 4 years ago for chic pairings (haha since then I’ve totally worn out all my clothes that were dark greens and browns *tears*). I’ll have to try and reincorporate them into my closet. I’ve been so blinded by bright colors lately 😛 Thanks for sharing this and reminding me about earth tones 🙂

Instagram post 2190369799895329969_46050882 Happy December friends!!!!! 2019 has been flying by and I can’t believe we are in full swing holiday season! This picture is appropriate to celebrate the holiday season & the snow storm currently happening outside 🤣 I guess we couldn’t avoid it forever! ❄️❄️❄️ anyway, just want to say Happy December and looking forward to sharing lots of holiday content soon! This look is from 2015, but I’ve linked many similar items on the @liketoknow.it app! Shop this full look >>> http://liketk.it/2HJEE #liketkit #LTKholidaystyle #LTKunder100 #LTKunder50
Instagram post 2173457516695079584_46050882 [AD] The results are in, and they are RADIANT! My skin is glowing thanks to the Olay Regenerist Rentinol24 Night Moisturizer. I've been using this for the past few weeks in place of my regular nightly moisturizer and was so blown away by the immediate results. I have noticed so many differences in my skin, including my skin looking plumper, increased firmness, increased brightness, increased smoothness and reduced acne scarring. This night cream is going to be my go-to moisturizer for a LONG time. Not only do I get the great benefits of using a retinol, which by the way, I saw ZERO irritation with this product, I also get the great hydrating formula I've seen with other Olay moisturizers. If you want to learn more, check out the link in my bio -  http://spr.ly/luna-114 - and be sure to watch my most recent YouTube video where I share MORE about my experience over the past few weeks with the @olay #Retinol24 line. #Olay #beautyblogger
Instagram post 2159842770729043350_46050882 #ad You guys, I'm SO excited to introduce the new @Olay Retinol24 collection! I had an amazing time opening my SKIN-MERGENCY kit (SEE the full and hilarious experience of me "breaking" into the kit of the new products on my Instagram stories!) Over the next four weeks I will be using these three new products by replacing my daily moisturizer with the Olay Regenerist Retinol24 and using both the Retinol24 serum and eye cream at night as well. Stay tuned, as I will be sharing my FULL results with these retinol products and the benefits I see. Check out my stories for even more information on my experience with retinol so far! #Retinol24 #Olay
Instagram post 2156326599509839385_46050882 I’m a couple days late, but what else is new? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Happy Anniversary babe! @rollbieck 10.14.17 was the most amazing day and I can’t believe how much has changed/we’ve done in the past two years

We said yes to this journey called life together and I’m so excited for the new adventure we’re on. I’m so fortunate to have someone who respects me and loves me tirelessly. Who let me pursue my dreams to move to the East Coast. Who supported this crazy dream of mine to move to Boston and “figure it out as we go”... who was willing to sacrifice for me to do what I want and love. Thank you endlessly for giving me this opportunity to be selfish and pursue what I love!
.

Marriage is also truly in good times and bad... because we’ve had plenty of unexpected and scary things happen the past couple years... but through the worst times, we found strength in each other and our love. It’s hard to understand the why sometimes, but I’ve always had you, we’ve always had each other!
.
.
So thank you again for everything! This past year has been our biggest adventure yet! I can’t wait to see what we do and accomplish this next year... love you Joe ❤️❤️❤️ #anniversary #rslbwedding #OurSobieckStory #TrampelingintoSobieck
Instagram post 2148299605635384754_46050882 Spent the day at an apple festival 🍎🍎🍎 and had so much fun! We did actually get some photos in but thought I would throw it back to this photo of @emmaminiaussie and I at one of our favorite orchards in the Minneapolis area! Luckily, finding fun fall things to do has certainly been easy here in New England and I can’t wait to share more adventures soon! We’re going to have a hardcore 🍎 fall here! 🍁🍂🍁 #fallfun #appleorchard #bloggersliveboston #rachelslookbook

Instagram post 2144622350014939974_46050882 I missed the obligatory 1st day of fall pic, so instead here’s my last day of September pic (because we all know tomorrow is way more important than the first day of fall 👻). This is a throwback to my leopard print style in 2015 but still rocking all the leopard print currently! Happy {almost} October 🎃 and happy fall! #leopardprint #fallstyle #wiw #rachelslookbook
