Embroidered Top

This embroidered top from OASAP is the perfect top for summer! It is light-weight with a beautiful pattern in blue. It also comes in four other beautiful colors for summer (love the navy color as well). This past Sunday, I wore it for date night to a local Mexican restaurant called El Patron! I would highly recommend this top or something similar for summer. It is light-weight and has a Mexican vibe, similar to the vibe this dress from Mexico has. I dressed the blouse down with cuffed jeans and my new open-toe booties, but I can’t wait to pair it with...

Spring Colors at Work

Fashion•Outfits

Here is my second outfit with 10DollarMall.com! You can see my first one from last week here. I called this spring colors because two of my co-workers mentioned I looked very “springy” in this outfit, and I couldn’t agree more! One of the main reasons I love 10DollarMall.com and their new site just for women, Moddeals.com (everything is still under $10!!!!!), is that I can purchase things for work and for fun/the weekend. This cardigan is such a gorgeous color and I love the beading detail. This skirt is absolutely amazing, SO SO SO comfortable. I can not overemphasize how comfortable...

So You Want to be a Thrifter – Part 1: Making a Plan

Shopping

Hello!!!!!!!! Happy Tuesday. I have decided to start a short series on my thrifting experiences, and the best way to go about it if you are new to it. Just this past week, I scored a pair of 7 for All Mankind jeans at my local Goodwill for $14.99! Fit perfectly, were in great shape and just a fraction of the price. A lot of my favorite pieces have been thrifted over the years, so I can’t wait to share some of my tips (hopefully they are helpful)! First a little background into my thrifting experience: I have been...

Aupie Winter Picks!

Fashion•Shopping

I’ve shared an outfit post featuring an item from Aupie before, and today, I wanted to share some of the gorgeous pieces there right now. I AM in love with both of these sweaters. I have always wanted a mustard color sweater, and this cable knit is just too cute. I’m also loving the idea of a cozy, warm, army green winter parka. Negative temps or snow, I am always looking for functional and chic coats to keep me warm here in Minnesota. Also, this dress, can we talk about this dress?! I love the colors and pattern and...

January Budget

Shopping

I can tell you right now I had quite the successful month! I set my budget at $200 (which is a little higher than I want to go the rest of the year, but it is also birthday month, so it was okay in my mind). I ended up spending LESS than my budget! (Patting myself on the back because I NEVER do that!) For $139.03 I got two new scarves, two new blouses, a dress, a faux fur embellished vest, a pair of glitter strapped heels and a new workout outfit! Also, after laying out all of my...

Tweedy Florals & Messy Hair

Outfits

This combination is an easy one, I believe the big floral prints on this bow-tie blouse and the classic black and white tweed jacket just work together. Adding a strand of pearls could look quite nice with this too, but I’ll be honest that I only had 20 minutes to get ready yesterday so accessories were lacking. I did mange to put on some sparkly bracelets and earrings though! And this quote found on my Pinterest account is why I allowed myself to walk out of the apartment this way: I embraced it by letting it do its own...

Polka Dot Skirt

Outfits

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 🙂

Vintage Tribal

Outfits

I am so glad tribal, aztec prints are so trendy right now because one of my absolute favorite vintage finds of all time is this bright, vibrant tribal print pencil skirt. Not only do I love the vibrant color and pattern, but when I tried it on at the Goodwill it fit me perfectly. For $5? I was singing on my way out of the store when I picked this baby up a couple years ago! I love this skirt and although I have a lot of ideas to wear it with other colors or colors in the same...

Animal Print & Color Combinations

Fashion

These are a few of my favorite things… well my favorite animal print and color combinations! I love adding pops of color to outfits as well as pops of animal prints, so when I mix the two together, these are my go-tos! I made a few outfits showing how I incorporate leopard & red, zebra & yellow and snakeskin & blue. You can see one of my leopard & red pairings here and my favorite pair of snakeskin heels and snakeskin faux leather pants to wear with blue here. What are your favorite colors to wear with animal prints?
