Spring Office Style

Outfits

Happy Monday! Today I am sharing an outfit with pieces from 10DollarMall.com. I love the idea of mixing up my typical work wear (pencil skirts and blouses) with bold patterns and bright colors! I am SO excited to be working with 10DollarMall again! Last year, I shared this, this and this outfit from 10DollarMall.com. I loved my pieces so much that I have been purchasing my own pieces, which I’ve styled here and here. What I absolutely love about 10DollarMall is that nothing is over $10 (hence the name)! It reminds me of F21 or Charlotte Russe, or for those of you who are local,...

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Fashion•Outfits

This past weekend my family came to visit and it was such an amazing time! We ate out, had brunch, watched Iowa State kill it in the championship game vs. Baylor and just enjoyed each other’s company. Today is my mom’s birthday and they are still in town, so I can’t wait to catch up with them for lunch before they head back to Iowa. I love you so much mom, I hope you have a fabulous birthday!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you all had an amazing, green-filled weekend 🙂 And HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!

January Budget 2014

Fashion•Shopping

HELLO! It is already January 31st. Although it has felt like a long month (thanks to the lovely weather), it also flew by. Got back from Vegas late Tuesday night and have literally just been trying to catch up on life. Honestly, we didn’t really take many pictures, just some I captured on Instagram, so I probably won’t have much to share here! I didn’t even get a full picture in my gold sequin dress! FAIL. Epic fail. Oh well, my boyfriend and I had good time and that’s all that matters! Onto the January budget. I didn’t do...

Outfits via iPhone

Outfits

Well I have once again been a “horrible blogger.” I don’t really know what I mean by that except that I was hoping to be to a regular posting schedule this week, but I am sticking to my goals and starting next week! In the mean time, I thought I would share some iPhone snapshots of outfits AND a couple from Instagram that I’ve been wearing lately. Back in November I was busting out this floral blazer. It is okay to wear floral print in the winter right? (Boots available here) This was my New Year’s Eve look! I...

Wedged Sneakers

Outfits

I have always loved a tights and cut off shorts pairing. Since I don’t  technically have a pair of “cut offs,”  I thought i would just wear my favorite pair of jean shorts instead. I immediately wore these sneakers this weekend after receiving them in the mail and was SO excited to find out how comfy they were and just as edgy and cool in real life as what I saw online. These are definitely going to be a new weekend go-to and will go perfectly with skinny jeans, how I usually wear wedged sneakers, and will also be great for my...

Monday Blues & THE WINNER of the Lia Sophia Giveaway

Outfits

Happy Monday everyone! Although I do not really have a case of the Monday blues… I am wearing blue in the outfit I’m posting today, so it seemed to fit… right?!?! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I went to visit my older sister in Madison and helped her with her closet doing my first wardrobe consultation.  I will be working with another client in the next couple weeks and can’t wait, it was fun to play with someone else’s closet and give them new insight.  As far as this outfit… this is a tunic that I used as...

Leopard & Sneakers

Outfits

What to wear when you go mini golfing and its super hot outside?! A light, sleeveless blouse, mini skirt and sneakers! This is what I wore yesterday to go mini golfing with my friend and then eating dinner (sticky rice and sliced beef, yum!) It was super fun and this outfit was perfect to beat the heat! Hope everyone had a great weekend and you have an amazing Monday!

Casual Outings

Outfits

Besides casual Fridays at work, I tend to dress down on the weekends since I tend to wear skirts all week long (although there is nothing better than throwing on a dress and a pair of flats for weekend wear as well!) Last Friday I met up with one of my girlfriends at Cowboy Jacks for some after-work drinks and to enjoy the gorgeous weather! I could not believe I was sitting outside in a t-shirt in Minnesota on March 16! It is just insane, but no complaints… I’m loving it! Anyway, one of my easiest go-tos for casual...

Spring Mash Up

Fashion

With all the amazing fashion trends for this spring (into summer) I just can’t contain my excitement about all of them!  With that said, I know there is so much inspiration for neons, pastels, polka dots, stripes, etc. out there right now, that I wanted to challenge myself to put together some looks that incorporated at least a couple if not all of these spring trends: polka dots & stripes, pastels and neons.  I put together an office look, a fun night out look and a beach/pool look for this spring/summer!  I would definitely love to take advantage of...
