Dreaming in Yellow

The color yellow is symbolic of intellect, energy, agility, happiness, harmony, and wisdom. “Yellow is an important spiritual color. Some may view this as a symbol of peace and harmony. Symbolically, yellow indicates kingship as it was a Chinese imperial color, but also the color of Saint Peter’s robes. As yellow is also the color of the sun, it suggests that God is on your side.” Recently, I’ve been dreaming in yellow, and my dreams have been very encouraging and motivating. After losing who I was for awhile this year due to so many things out of our control,...

#MomentsofChic with Piperlime: Oversized Sweater & Boots

Fashion•Outfits

I am so excited to be collaborating with Piperlime once again (see my first look here)! This time I paired this JOA oversized plaid sweater (ON SALE!) and Lucky Brand boots to bring you a cozy, comfy, Minne-snow-ta approved winter outfit. Often times I find myself sacrificing style for warmth or vice versa, but not with this look. A felt fedora, bright red lip and my new favorite pair of skinny jeans, this look is weekend-ready, able to transfer from errands to date night, and keeping me chic and warm in snowfall or frigid temperatures. Piperlime has many other perfect winter sweaters and boots,...

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...

Leopard Layers

Outfits

I am so happy to have the opportunity to work with Front Row Shop, who sent me some basics to review. This long-sleeve navy t-shirt is just what I’ve been looking for to add to my weekend wardrobe. It is extremely soft and sheer, so perfect for layering, and it has thumb holes. I used to think thumb holes were strange and annoying, but I’ve ordered a couple tops from Ellie for working out that have them, and after wearing those, I now love thumb holes! I simply roll up the ends of the sleeves when I don’t want...

It Finally Feels like Spring

Outfits

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...

Is That Your Grandma’s Coat?

Outfits

Why yes, yes it is. Seriously. My mother went through her mother’s clothing last September after she passed away to see if she could find anything to give to us to remember her and thank goodness because I have gotten some really amazing pieces from her (other outfits with her clothes seen here and here). I miss her each and every day, but this coat reminds me of her and it makes me smile! I love vintage clothing and to have pieces from her to remember her by… honestly I couldn’t ask for anything better. Have you had clothing passed...
