When eShakti contacted me to review one of their fall items, I was stoked because I have had such a good experience with them before (see previous posts about their dresses here and here). I decided to customize this mini houndstooth print skirt and make it a midi for a couple reasons. 1). Obviously I can now wear it to work and 2). I LOVE midis. I think they are gorgeous and modest, yet are still sexy. Anyway, once again I am astounded by the high quality of the fabric, the fit and the fact this gorgeous skirt has...
Yesterday was probably the first day it finally felt like spring to me. It got up to 50, the sun was out just long enough to put a smile on my face and I was more productive than I’ve been in months on a Sunday. I worked out, got groceries, made lunch and then threw dinner on in the crock pot, did a load of laundry and showered (YAY!) When I was getting ready I was in such a good mood, I just felt like wearing something that really reflected how I was feeling. No, I didn’t really have...
A sequin skirt is the perfect way to add some sparkle and shine to your outfit! Here are just a few ways to style one. HAPPY FRIDAY!
It’s official… my little sister starts college today! I am so excited for her (and very jealous haha) and hope she has a wonderful first day at Iowa State. This weekend I went back to some of the classic pieces I would wear to class end of August and throughout fall. These included flouncy skirts, casual tops and a scarf, statement necklace or hair pieces, and of course a pair of sunglasses! Simple, smart pieces always made it easy for me to get ready in the morning. Anyway, clearly not wearing these pieces to class anymore, but that doesn’t...
Remember my outfit post called Lilac Jungle? It was an outfit I wore to work back in April incorporating my style goals: pattern, color, accessories! Well I bought this safari-esque, neutral skirt from Kohl’s quite a few years ago, but it has been a staple in my closet ever since. It is a fun pattern in a neutral shade, so I literally can’t go wrong. Living only five minutes away from the Kohl’s store in my hometown of Cedar Falls, Iowa… Kohl’s was always a go-to shopping place for me and I have always found the best deal on wardrobe...
There’s nothing I love more than a “mismatch”…probably not the best way to say it. Maybe this is better: feminine + edgy, casual + dressy, neutrals + color… I guess opposites is more of what I’m trying to say! I love this casual outfit… just a striped colorful tee I picked up from TJMaxx a few weeks ago, a mini skirt that has been present in my closet for far too many years, my new “fake” JCrew necklace from eBay 😉 and just for kicks and giggles, a pair of JustFab heels! When I first wore this outfit, I...
Since my older sister just graduated with her masters and some of my friends just graduated college, I decided it would be the perfect time to talk about some investment pieces straight out of college (or grad school). I was lost at first when I graduated because although I had a suit and collared shirts for interviewing, a lot of my wardrobe was still extremely casual. I have learned to incorporate a lot of those pieces into a more professional wardrobe, but there were still some pieces I needed to add to ensure that I was looking professional everyday....
