Outfits

If you follow me on Instagram, you have might have already seen these outfits, but when people ask me where things are from, I can’t link to anything or give an easy answer because I have no idea if something is still available. So  just wanted to do a short post to be able to share where some of these items are from! This dress is about a year old but still available! c/o Heiress (HERE) It is a great LBD with some sheer details and was perfect for a girl’s night out this past weekend! (P.S. how NOT...

Statement Earrings

Outfits

My usual go-to accessory is a necklace when I want to make a statement, but yesterday I went for these beautiful InPink earrings and it reminded how simply beautiful a pair of dangle earrings can be, especially when you pull your hair back and allow them to take center stage. These multicolored beauties are the perfect way to make a statement, especially at the office because they are fun without being too crazy. AND they are super light weight, very important to me when it comes to earrings. Yesterday was the perfect day to slip on a breezy maxi skirt...

Summer Go-Tos

Outfits

The summer heat hasn’t been letting down here this past week… so I have been going to some of my go-tos for summer heat and humidity: a breezy dress, hair pushed back with a headband/headwrap, and a pair of flats or strappy sandals! I wore this on Saturday to run some errands (like go pick out puppy supplies, yay!) and to get the apartment organized (aka puppy-proofed… all shoes are up high in my closet now!) And there is nothing better than a good pop of pink with my “Punchy” Beauty Rush lip gloss from Victoria Secret to add...

Vintage Tribal

Outfits

I am so glad tribal, aztec prints are so trendy right now because one of my absolute favorite vintage finds of all time is this bright, vibrant tribal print pencil skirt.  Not only do I love the vibrant color and pattern, but when I tried it on at the Goodwill it fit me perfectly.  For $5? I was singing on my way out of the store when I picked this baby up a couple years ago!  I love this skirt and although I have a lot of ideas to wear it with other colors or colors in the same...

Blue & Coral

Outfits

So I FINALLY have some colored denim and when I was first deciding what to wear with my cobalt pair from Calvin Klein, I thought I would probably start out with something neutral, but when I found this striped blazer at Charlotte Russe on Saturday, I knew that I would immediately want to pair the two together! I wore this outfit yesterday to run some errands and go out to dinner with friends.  It is just one of those color combinations that makes you feel confident and vibrant  and well you simply can’t go wrong with a strappy pair...

Tie Tuesday

Outfits

I have always wanted to be able to tag along with the boys and I’m guessing I get that from my mother who grew up with six brothers.  With that said, when my boss told me that one of the guys at work is trying to bring back “Tie Tuesday” I decided I wanted join! I have always been drawn to menswear looks, but recently Alicia’s post from Fashion by Alicia on Evan Rachel Wood and Carry On Couture’s menswear inspired look have really inspired me.  My result: My boyfriend’s tie with cropped black pants, a vest, blazer and a ruffle fuchsia blouse (because I...

Fashion Dilemma

Career•Outfits

When it comes to work wear during the transition from winter to spring, I seem to have my own fashion transition with a shift from skirts to pants.  This usually happens because I get sick and tired of wearing tights. And I know a lot of fashionistas hate wearing tights, but I really do love wearing tights… so when I get to this point I am so ready for bare legs.  Although the weather has been significantly warmer lately, I’m still not sure that it is “bare legs season” yet in Minneapolis.

Pleated Maxi + Floppy Hat

Outfits

So before I say anything else about this outfit… this is how nice Minnesota’s weather has been lately! Definitely a month or two ahead of schedule on being able to stand outside in short sleeves without freezing! I bought this hat a couple weekends ago when my family was in town, and I talked about it in my accessory shopping post last Friday.  I was so excited to wear it, along with wearing my new LC Lauren Conrad pleated maxi from Kohls(I have wanted a floppy hat and maxi skirt for forever)! I wore them together this weekend along with...

All Black On, Blacked Out Shades

Outfits

Since its November in Minnesota, dressing for warmth isn’t an option, it’s a must. It can be hard to transition from beautiful fall days to temperatures close to zero, but there are plenty of ways to look put together and stay warm without looking too bulky. Pleather or leather leggings are not only warm, but extremely comfortable and chic. I can literally wear them out anytime of the year, but they are especially great for cold nights out in Minneapolis and here they are my favorite part of this outfit. (Oh, and I also love the sequins on this...
