Just wanted to do a fun post sharing some of my photos on Instagram (some recent and some not so recent). I call them the best, well, because heart(s) don’t lie. Plus I see a trend: stripes, polka dots and puppies! Who doesn’t love those things?! I get it, I get it for sure. And the beautiful Aussie at the bottom left belongs to Megan from Two Birds. I met this stunner at the Minnesota Blogger Meet Up a couple weeks ago!
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 🙂
So this is an outfit I would wear for a night out with my girls. But these days, at the end of the work week, as much as I want to go out and party with my friends, I want to make sure I am also as comfy as possible. A light-weight lace back cardigan, breezy tank top and my polka dot pj shorts are the PERFECT way to achieve this. Did I just say pj shorts? Yes these are my polka dot pajama shorts I recently picked up at TJ Maxx so I’d have a matching pair of...
Today is simple: how can you go wrong with a polka dot dress, tweed blazer and pearls? Today I bring my vintage, full-skirt polka dot dress to life for a day where I can comfortably move about the office while looking polished in a blazer and classy with a strand pearls. And the best part… by the end of the day, this outfit is ready for any after-work endeavor. Today is my day of opportunity 🙂
Pin It The simplicity of pairing various shades of neutrals from tan to dark brown can turn into a surprisingly chic end result. This outfit started with my new nude dress that I got on sale at a local Minneapolis store and from there it went in this order: polka dot cardigan, belt and oxfords. My oxfords are always hidden away in my closet (sadly) and every time I wear them, I remember how fashionable they can make an outfit look! Unfortunately my shoes are in a big pile in my closet right now because my turning shoe holder broke (oops!)....
With all the amazing fashion trends for this spring (into summer) I just can’t contain my excitement about all of them! With that said, I know there is so much inspiration for neons, pastels, polka dots, stripes, etc. out there right now, that I wanted to challenge myself to put together some looks that incorporated at least a couple if not all of these spring trends: polka dots & stripes, pastels and neons. I put together an office look, a fun night out look and a beach/pool look for this spring/summer! I would definitely love to take advantage of...
Basically the title of my post says it all… this outfit is extremely simple to throw together and is so comfortable. Unfortunately, it is only a weekend outfit because it’s a bit too casual for work, but I still love it! I was inspired by Lucky magazine’s spread on how to mix and match a few items for A Month of Outfits” from the November 2008 issue. I have kept that magazine and tabbed out that section because it’s always been a source of inspiration for me! Anyway, I love the hidden polka dot pattern on this short-sleeved cape...
I’m super excited to write my first post focusing exclusively on accessories because accessories are where I have the most fun! In fact, accessories are the glue that hold together my looks and really inspire me to try new things. Don’t get me wrong, I love the clothing itself, but I get really excited playing with the same clothing and accessorizing differently to completely make a new outfit. And now time for this accessories post’s focus… polka dots! Polka dots were another huge trend seen on the runway this year and what could be a better way to wear...
