What to Wear for Thanksgiving

Fashion

Still have no idea what to wear for Thanksgiving? I put together some ideas based on how casual or dressy your Thanksgiving might be this year. Usually I try to dress up a casual look (like the chambray and maxi skirt look below). Other casual looks include a dress with a scarf, socks and flat boots or skinny jeans, a sweater and loafers. If you are attending a fancy Thanksgiving dinner or buffet, or hosting your own, why not try a fitted dress with heels. And if you are like me, I will probably just change into sweats after...

How to Wear It: Teal Infinity Scarf

Fashion

Disclosure: I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client. #ThisisStyle #cbias  One of the most exciting times of the year is finally here! I must admit though, as much as I love giving my friends and family gifts, sometimes I get a bit jealous of what I’m giving them (I can’t help it, I am a self-confessed shopaholic). In fact, most of my Black Fridays are spent shopping for others AND for myself (looking for some 2013...

Lace Loving

Outfits

This is my first time linking up to Marion’s Trend of the Month Challenge and I couldn’t be more excited about this month’s challenge: lace. I have quite a few lace pieces, mostly neutral ones, so I wanted to challenge myself to wear a lace piece I haven’t in awhile AND in a new way. I just transformed my denim dress into a shirt a few weeks ago, so I decided to transform this lace dress into a shirt as well. Of course, completely work INAPPROPRIATE as a dress. Add my favorite maxi and it was completely work appropriate. Hooray!...

Chambray + Metallic Skirt

Outfits

So, I’ve seen this kind of look a few times and love the idea of a chambray shirt with a sequin skirt, but for work, a metallic skirt works a little better. I’ve seen Laura and Jessie (found on Pinterest, her blog is now found under Fashion Salade rock this look, and honestly this look all came together when I decided I wanted to wear my denim dress (last seen here).  But of course my struggle of getting ready in the morning… I didn’t know what to wear with my denim dress, so I instead turned it into a shirt by...

A Little Late

Outfits

Perhaps I am a little late on this trend… oxblood, burgundy, maroon, whatever you prefer to call it. But I recently thrifted this burgundy blazer and have been obsessed with it ever since. It has been pretty cold here the past couple days and if you couldn’t tell by my fake happy expression in these photos… I am SO ready for spring. Happy thoughts… happy thoughts… Also didn’t this title make you think of Jojo’s song? It’s okay, go ahead, you know you want to!

The Fair Isle Sweater

Outfits

I have always loved Fair Isle sweaters and became completely obsessed with them when I saw Megan Fox in one a few years ago in a magazine, but had no clue where the name Fair Isle came from until I looked it up via The Google yesterday. The Google always seems to answer my questions when I become curious… Did you know that Fair Isle is a knitting technique? (Probably, I’m just behind…)  Fair Isle knitting is where stitches are knit alternately in different colors. And guess WHAT?! Fair Isle was named after Fair Isle (go figure?!?!?!), which is a...

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

Plaid

Outfits

I’ve been layering up with the recent cold weather (and this jacket is NOT enough to be outside more than 5 minutes) and decided to wear an all black ensemble this past Saturday with a touch of color in my plaid short-sleeve jacket. I haven’t worn my black skinnies in ages, even though they are a favorite pair of mine that used to wear out all the time. And yes, socks with my wedged booties were a must this weekend (keeping the feet warm and toasty). Hope you have a fabulous Monday!

A Month of Outfits: December

Outfits

Looks like I forgot to do an outfit recap for November, so I didn’t want to get to much further in the New Year without a recap of December’s outfits!

Thanks to @natureboxbeauty, I know my hair will be frizz-free all summer long using their 100% Cold Pressed Macadamia Oil Shampoo & Conditioner. What’s cold pressing exactly? 🤔 Cold pressing oils is the process of using extra pressure without excessive heat to extract the natural oils from fruits and nuts without chemicals or hot processing. Nature Box™ has a variety of shampoo and conditioner sets that include cold pressed oil from coconuts, avocados, apricots, almonds, and macadamia nuts. The set I got is exclusive to @cvspharmacy!
