Striped Shirt + Puffer Vest

Fashion•Outfits

Yesterday I got to spend the day with my boyfriend’s family, and it was such a fun day with them (and full of delicious food)! Palm Sunday has always been a huge celebration for his family, and I feel so fortunate to have spent the day with them. I wish I would have been wearing some of my spring picks, but what can you do when it is 40 and windy on April 13th?! This is my second basic piece from Front Row Shop (see my first review here) and I am still impressed. This shirt is a great...

Striped

Fashion•Outfits

It has officially become winter in Minnesota over the past week. Snow + below zero temperatures = a not so happy me. Although the snow is beautiful, I must admit. Anyway, wore this outfit yesterday for brunch with some girlfriends downtown. Bottomless mimosas from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.? I think YES. Okay, I actually only had a couple because I would have to venture back out in the snow as you can see in these pictures. I hope you all have a great week!

Stripes & Denim

Outfits

This past weekend was the perfect opportunity to break out my new Zara ankle boots. It was a little bit chilly on Sunday, so I decided it was a good idea to wear these and keep my feet warm.  Anyway, I love this cardigan my little sister got me for Christmas from Christopher &  Banks … YUP you read that correctly… this is from Christopher & Banks! It just goes to show you never know where you are going to find something great!

4th of July Outfit

Outfits

Every 4th of July, I try to put together a new red, white and blue outfit with pieces I already own in my closet. I seem to own a lot of different items in these colors, or variations, so it is really fun! (See other red, white and blue outfits here, here, here and here). This year I wanted to make my Asos skater skirt the certain of attention. This white skirt has been a new favorite in my closet and I always want to wear it (previously seen here and here).  Along with my old cutout striped top...

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...

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...

I Really Love… Wearing Stripes

Outfits

And who doesn’t?!?! Stripes literally go with everything and I love being able to layer with them during the fall/winter so here are a few of my favorite layered outfits incorporating stripes (two are with the same striped turtleneck and the others are with my striped sweater and striped mini).

Halloween Happy Hour

Outfits

Well it is that time of year when you can wear orange and black together without feeling like you are dressing for Halloween! Why? Well because it is Halloween time right now… yay! I love the idea of orange and black together and what a better time to pull out your favorite black and orange pieces than now?! I am taking today off to bake and get ready for our 2nd Annual Halloween party tomorrow (called Spookify) and I wore this last night to happy hour with the bf.  Sometimes there is nothing better than an outfit with a...

You’re the Apple of My Eye

Outfits

I had an amazing weekend… Friday night and Saturday were a bit “lame” as I stayed in and cleaned to prepare for our 2nd annual Halloween party.  I spent 5 hours in the kitchen/pantry area alone.  Yeah there was some dusting and re-organizing to be done that took me quite awhile.  Anyway, we headed to the apple orchard on Sunday and I got to pick two bags of apples (and completely acted like a kid again… the bf was glad we didn’t bring the pup along because he felt like he was taking care of me… haha).  Looks like...
