4 Year Blog Birthday!

Today marks four years since I started this blog. I cannot BELIEVE it has been that long. And I’m still so blown away by all of the support, opportunities and people I have met through this venture. It all started with a conversation about how I missed writing about what I wanted, especially fashion, and the next day we owned the domain rachelslookbook.com. This past year has definitely gone by faster than any year before, and as I was reviewing this year, I honestly just can’t believe we are here, at the end of November again! What I’m Wearing...

Blush Pink

Fashion•Outfits

So a couple days ago I shared a thrifted red lace dress and today I’m sharing this blush pink dress I thrifted the same night! This one is a bit more professional, so to make it more appropriate for a Valentine’s date, I added a sleek pair of patent pumps and a sequin clutch. The contrast of the black gives it a bit more interest than when I originally paired it with nude pumps. Is it just me, or do you always pair similar shades together? Blush pink + beige or nude just seems to make sense, but I...

Double Stripes

Outfits

I once tried to pair stripes together, but I don’t think it was as successful as this. I think a thin, basic black and white striped t-shirt would look great with any thicker striped cardigan, blouse or cover-up of another color. I am thinking that even though I feel guilty about what I spent this month, at least I am already wearing some of my purchases. When I wait too long, it usually means it just doesn’t work in with my wardrobe. Anyway, I always talk about adding interest to my work outfits and for yesterday, the longest work...

At the Office

Fashion

I am always looking for ways to mix up the typical work attire. Some days I wish I worked from home and could wear whatever I want. Not so I could wear sweats all day, but just so I could wear anything from my closet without wondering “is this professional looking” “is this long enough?” “will my feet and knees kill going up and down the stairs all day?” I want to be professional and practical yet fun at the same time. I know some people don’t like the look of layering under a dress, but I really liked...
