The Girl in the Pink Scarf

Fashion•Lifestyle•Outfits•Shopping

I’m still struggling with work outfits… which is really silly considering I can basically wear what I want. I think the issue is that I started off at a job where I was required to be wearing a suit every day, or pretty close. Then I went to a business casual environment, but still got pretty dressed up. Now, it is casual, but can really be whatever I want, but I still get confused. I have yet to wear heels, but have worn wedges a couple times, I would just feel silly being one of the only ones in...

Chambray + Floral Pants

Fashion•Outfits

I never thought I would be able to wear sequins to work until I found this cardigan at Nordstrom Rack. It completely changed my mind and I have been wearing it to the office ever since. With a chambray top, floral trousers and coral heels, I felt like a lot of my personality was shining through at work. Also, I apologize for wearing these floral pants over and over again, they are just SO comfortable. Hope you had a great weekend and happy Monday!

Summer Chambray Style

Fashion•Outfits•Shopping

{Chambray} {wigs} {Skirt} {Wedges} {Hat} One of my biggest wishlist items for summer has been this short-sleeve chambray ever since seeing it on Emily. Well this past weekend I had to make a thrifting trip with my mom and little sister and found one almost exactly like it for $1.50! I know it is going to be one of my go-to tops for summer, and here is one of the ways I plan on wearing it!

Easter Outfit: Floral Print Skirt + Chambray

Outfits

So this is what I wore for Easter last Sunday! I was way too exhausted to snap photos by the time we got back to Minnesota (we were in Iowa with my family) so I decided we would get photos later on in the week…  and apparently I should have ironed my top before we took pics! Whoops, please no judgment! This skirt is from OASAP and it is so comfortable. I wore it all day on Easter, even the three and a half hour drive home and got a ton of compliments on it, so I can’t wait...

New Purchases

Fashion•Shopping

  (sandals, patterned pants, red cropped pants, t-strap mary janes) Well I have been doing some shopping already in March (whoops… can’t say no to some of the great deals), but this month I’m approaching shopping a little differently. I have clothing needs and wants (I REALLY need some new work-appropriate pants. I REALLY wanted a new strappy, fun pair of nude sandals), but I am trying to already plan how to fit these items in with what I already own. I always try to think of this, but it rarely ever happens. Sometimes that means my new items...

What to Wear for Thanksgiving

Fashion

Still have no idea what to wear for Thanksgiving? I put together some ideas based on how casual or dressy your Thanksgiving might be this year. Usually I try to dress up a casual look (like the chambray and maxi skirt look below). Other casual looks include a dress with a scarf, socks and flat boots or skinny jeans, a sweater and loafers. If you are attending a fancy Thanksgiving dinner or buffet, or hosting your own, why not try a fitted dress with heels. And if you are like me, I will probably just change into sweats after...

Denim on Denim

Outfits

Today I am teaming up with Lauren of Fizz & Frosting to show you how to style denim on denim for these summer months! We both chose to wear a lighter chambray top with darker jean shorts and some fun sandals to complete the look. Make sure to check out Lauren’s post here! I decided to accessorize my chambray and denim look with a snakeskin print light-weight scarf, gold bracelets and tan accessories, including my new ShoeDazzle wedges! I also kept my hair wavy and added a braid for an overall denim on denim summer look. Chambray, Marshall’s (Similar)...

Chambray + Metallic Skirt

Outfits

So, I’ve seen this kind of look a few times and love the idea of a chambray shirt with a sequin skirt, but for work, a metallic skirt works a little better. I’ve seen Laura and Jessie (found on Pinterest, her blog is now found under Fashion Salade rock this look, and honestly this look all came together when I decided I wanted to wear my denim dress (last seen here).  But of course my struggle of getting ready in the morning… I didn’t know what to wear with my denim dress, so I instead turned it into a shirt by...

Sassy Accessories

Outfits

Recently, I was contacted by Firmoo about trying out a pair of glasses, in my case, non-prescription glasses, and do a review on the fit and style.  I LOVE the idea of wearing glasses as an accessory and honestly I have always been jealous of people who wear glasses because I think they are so adorable and can really make you look sassy!  Glasses = nerdy? No… glasses = sexy! Just like a great statement necklace, bag or pair of heels, non-prescription glasses can really make a statement and be fun with more dressy or casual outfits.  I have styled a pair...
