Blazer and Jeans: Dressed Up

Outfits

When it was cold on Mother’s Day, instead of opting for my sleeveless, knee-length dress, I decided to throw on my orange blouse from 10DollarMall.com and once again paired it with my white blazer and skinny jeans. On Monday, I shared my blazer and jeans casual style, and today I’m sharing how I dress them up. I added a teal necklace for some interest and was ready to celebrate Mother’s Day! There are tons of other ways to dress up jeans and blazer, but adding a statement necklace, some fancy bracelets and a pair of heels is the simplest way to...

Floral Blazer

Fashion•Outfits

This past weekend my older sister, her fiance and my parents were in town to take care of some wedding tasks. The wedding is taking place in downtown Minneapolis in October, so they get to travel here to get everything planned. I LOVE it because that means I don’t have to travel and I still get to see my family more this year. Win, win WIN! Anyway, to run errands such as choosing the groom’s tuxedo, taking a look at the chapel and wedding photo opportunities (and grabbing a mid afternoon beer), I thought it would be a great...

Head to Toe: Casual Style

Fashion•Outfits

I am very excited to share my first post featuring items from 10DollarMall.com. As you might have guessed, 10DollarMall.com is a online clothing and accessory store with items $10 or under (items for women, juniors, children and men). I am excited to collaborate with 10DollarMall.com because I believe that you don’t have to spend a lot to look great and it is nice to know there is a place out there where everything is $10 or under. 10DollarMall.com graciously gave me a gift card to pick out some items to style and I look forward to sharing future outfit posts with...

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...

Weekend Wear

Outfits

When it comes to the weekends you can find me one of two ways: Sweatpants, a beer/glass of wine and cuddled in the corner of our couch, or in casual wear like what I wore to run errands yesterday. Something about the combination of a white blazer and this mint necklace reminded me of spring, which I can feel just around the corner! I can’t complain though… yesterday’s weather brought sun and temps far above what we have experienced over the past week.  I got this new tote with my February budget to bring along on my trip, but I can...

Florals + Bows

Outfits

Two of my very favorite, very girly things/patterns to wear, florals and bows take over a large section of my closet. Also, who doesn’t love a little bit of florals when we are approaching spring. I like to pretend it makes it come sooner. On the upside, we did have a heat wave yesterday being above 32 degrees. Man did it feel good! Hope you are having a great week, Happy Hump Day!

It’s the Weekend

Fashion

I wanted to start doing a weekend post just to wrap up the week and share some of the things I’ve been loving but haven’t shared elsewhere during the week, or at least expand on them more, and as a way to share some of the other things I love aside from clothes and shoes (even though today that is pretty much the focus). Probably will vary from week to week, but I promise I will try to make it fun!                                    ...

Casual Friday + Polka Dots

Outfits

This Friday’s casual outfit was a complete recreation of a look from Happily Grey (see her outfit here). I pinned this look awhile back from my friend and once I got this polka dot top for my birthday, I remembered how striking a beige/black polka dot top looks with a neon scarf (Yup, that’s right… I can seriously remember WAY too many of the things I’ve pinned… kind of scary). Since I just got my neon infinity scarf with my January budget, it was the perfect time to try this look. I hate to admit that Casual Fridays are not easy...

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...
