New Beginnings

Fashion•Outfits

Hello!!!!!!!!! – I know it’s been awhile, hasn’t it? And I know I say this way too often, but I apologize for being absent. I seriously miss blogging so much when I’m away from it, yet I need to take breaks every once in a while, and at least this time around I have a good reason for it – my new job! I started two weeks ago and it has been everything I thought it would be – and more! What I’m Wearing Top, Thrifted (Similar here, here and here) Skirt, Marshall’s (Similar here, here and here) Watch,...

A Month of Outfits: September

Outfits

Forgot to do a recap of my outfits for the month of September (kind of lacking again, whoops 🙂 ) Looks like I was loving polka dot skirts, maxi skirts and skirts in general haha… which was your favorite?!

Simply Spiked

Outfits

Well everyone, it is official. I am obsessed with maxis and longer skirts (you can see my other maxi skirt styles here, here and here just from the past couple months).  There is something so chic and elegant about the longer length that just has me on repeat with this style (and I can’t wait to add boots for fall). Earlier this week, I grabbed a vintage black skirt my grandma gave to me a few months ago and paired with with simple pieces: a tank, short sweater cardigan and beaded necklace. You can find other stylish cardigans like...

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 🙂

Inspired Style: Stripes + Florals

Outfits

Well it has been far too long since my last Inspired Style post (uh yeah… back in March?! haha) but when I saw the episode of Jane by Design with the yellow Zara blazer, a floral bustier and striped skirt, I knew I wanted to recreate this look.  I took my pale yellow vintage blazer (love the bright color better but I don’t have one), paired it with a dark gray tee and floral scarf for the floral part of the outfit and then paired it with my new striped maxi skirt (I wasn’t supposed to buy anything this...

Transitioning Maxis from Summer to Fall

Fashion•Outfits

Chic, sleek and easy-to-wear maxis have become a staple in many wardrobes and they provide a versatile, unique look. Breezy maxi styles have helped fashionistas beat the summer heat, but what about styling these beauties for fall? By adding layers and more details, the transition from summer to fall is as easy as one, two, three!

Friday’s Fancies: My Travel Outfit

Outfits

So I’m linking up to Friday’s Fancies today, which was a theme of your perfect traveling outfit in a dream vacation setting.  While since I was just in my dream vacation in Europe, I decided to share an outfit I wore one day in Paris, but a day we didn’t take any photos.  Layering a striped shirt over my maxi and throwing over a chambray gave my dress and tee a whole different feel from some of the other outfits I wore while I was there. Paired with my favorite strappy flat sandals, it was a comfy outfit while...
