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...

Stripes & Denim

Outfits

This past weekend was the perfect opportunity to break out my new Zara ankle boots. It was a little bit chilly on Sunday, so I decided it was a good idea to wear these and keep my feet warm.  Anyway, I love this cardigan my little sister got me for Christmas from Christopher &  Banks … YUP you read that correctly… this is from Christopher & Banks! It just goes to show you never know where you are going to find something great! Ankle Boots, Zara (Similar) Denim Dress, Lucky Brand (Similar) Cardigan, Christopher & Banks (Similar) Tote, JustFab —...

My Little Side Kick

Outfits

Emma decided to join me today and show you my new Fit in Clouds foldable flats! She really is my little side kick, she follows me everywhere around the apartment and even when she’s still hyper she will come lay down by me when I go to bed! Anyway, onto the flats! These flats are perfect to throw in your purse and bring with you everywhere, and like last night, switch from heels to flats for after work. Isn’t the pattern super cute?!

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...

Snakes on a Jacket

Outfits

Okay so there really aren’t snakes on this jacket… just snakeskin print. I don’t know, sometimes I just think I’m clever and I laugh like it’s funny.  This happens a lot at home and the bf doesn’t even know where it came from, what I’m thinking or what I mean by it.   It comes from my mother because I act the same way my bf does when she says things sometimes and I usually end up saying “Oh Mom” but I love her, she’s the best! Anyway, enough blabbing… so I never thought 1) that I would ever...
