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 🙂
I have finally reached that age where it is rare to go a season without a wedding. Â Friends, cousins, friend’s friends… and before you know it, everyone is getting married! The question is what to wear? If you’re like me, finding the perfect dress to wear to a wedding can almost be as challenging as the bride to be and her search for the perfect wedding dress (not that I would know for sure)! Â You want it to be seasonal and practical for the reception portion (dance, dance the night away, right?!)
Welcome to the first post of Neon Details: Part 2!  Neon Details: Part 1 (seen here) displayed some of my outfits incorporating the neon trend during winter (oh yes when lovely snow was still on the ground).  Now it is time to show my take on summer neon style and I wanted to start off with one of my favorite pairs of heels to throw on during the summer.  These neon details add a fun pop of color to a simple outfit, helping turn this weekend casual look into something more fun that I would love to wear out with my...
There was a time where I had no interest in animal prints. Â When I studied abroad in England and Wales, I saw animal print in whole new light and decided to embrace it! Â This snakeskin clutch from H&M was actually my first snakeskin purchase when I was studying abroad in London. Â With all the hype surrounding packing the appropriate clothes and things to study aborad, I completely forgot to bring a going out purse! From there my love grew and grew…. and this pair of Steve Madden snakeskin heels was my second snakeskin investment. Â I have worn them out...
Oh how I wish I could buy and make room for all of these pieces in my closet!!!!!
There is nothing better than a classic turtleneck with a simple pattern like this black and white striped one. It is a great piece for me to wear to work because it keeps me warm (during the winter I have wear fingerless gloves to stay warm). Also, to keep from getting bored of pants and long-sleeve shirts during the winter, I might keep my scarf on during work as a warm accessory, otherwise the necklace works as my main accessory. Of course my shoes are where my personality comes out and this purple suede pair has done well for...
So this is my first Bloggers Do It Better post and I am so excited about it! The assignment was sequins and I thought it would be easy… I am always drawn to sparkly and shiny pieces but I didn’t think I actually owned that many. Going through my closet I found sequin tank tops, shirts, skirts, dresses, shoes, clutches and pieces embellished with sequins. I didn’t know what to do!  Then I found my red sequin top that I bought from Peacocks in the UK when I studied abroad at one semester when I was in college...
I’ve been in the “real world” for less than two years, so transitioning from class/going out outfits to work outfits has been pretty difficult. This isn’t because I don’t know how to dress professionally, but it is because sometimes I still struggle fitting my personal style into professional looks. Pairing this tunic with gold sequins with a blazer or cardigan is the perfect way to make looking professional more fun. This look is also great because with a few more details, you are ready for a night out on the town… time to let the diva out! Adding eyeliner...
