Head to Toe: Casual Style

Fashion•Outfits

I am very excited to share my first post featuring items from 10DollarMall.com. As you might have guessed, 10DollarMall.com is a online clothing and accessory store with items $10 or under (items for women, juniors, children and men). I am excited to collaborate with 10DollarMall.com because I believe that you don’t have to spend a lot to look great and it is nice to know there is a place out there where everything is $10 or under. 10DollarMall.com graciously gave me a gift card to pick out some items to style and I look forward to sharing future outfit posts with...

Vintage Loving

Outfits

You don’t have to spend a lot on your clothes. I LOVE thrifting and finding great vintage finds for two reasons. 1) You can easily find unique pieces that everyone and their mother won’t have 2) Quality items at a LOW price

Class Classics

Outfits

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...

Summertime Wishes

Shopping

Oh summer, how ready I am for you and your warm days by the pool, long walks and grilling out with friends and family. Oh summer, how I wish I had all of these items to enjoy your heat waves in! Oh summer, wouldn’t it be great if I had this amazing preppy striped dress, white distressed jeans, peach shorts and gingham swimsuit? Yes, yes it would be great!

Lilac Jungle

Career•Outfits

Isn’t it funny how somedays you have a lot to say about your outfit because the pieces tell a story and other days it is literally just: this is what I threw on and I liked the way it looked? Well I hope you don’t mind that I want to share a lot of information about my experience with my clothes (like yesterday’s coral dress post) and somedays it really is pretty simple.  One of my goals for the new year to help spice up what I wear to work is to mix prints and colors together.

Floral Your Heart

Fashion•Outfits

Clothing is often like photographs… they bring back memories and take you back to a place and time that maybe you have not thought about in awhile.  This outfit is what I wore five years ago on the trip home from my five month study abroad experience in England and Wales.

Snakeskin Details

Fashion•Outfits

With the warmer temperatures, my straw fedora and black strap wedges have been the first items to make an appearance from my spring & summer wardrobe.  Today’s snakeskin is all in the details… a vintage gold shimmer snakeskin scarf and a sequin, snakeskin clutch.  With a pair of boyfriend jeans and a sheer nude blouse, this outfit’s staples could easily become my spring uniform for casual Fridays and the weekends.

Casual Outings

Outfits

Besides casual Fridays at work, I tend to dress down on the weekends since I tend to wear skirts all week long (although there is nothing better than throwing on a dress and a pair of flats for weekend wear as well!) Last Friday I met up with one of my girlfriends at Cowboy Jacks for some after-work drinks and to enjoy the gorgeous weather! I could not believe I was sitting outside in a t-shirt in Minnesota on March 16! It is just insane, but no complaints… I’m loving it! Anyway, one of my easiest go-tos for casual...

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...
