One Item, Five Ways ~ Cozy Chic

October 14, 2015

DFT-Downtown Session Picks10Partnering with Layered by Cake online boutique, this is my first post of a new blog series, “One Item, Five Ways.” I’m so excited to be kicking off these posts today, as I know that one of my constant wardrobe challenges is finding different ways to wear items in my own closet. I love being able to share with you all the ways to re-purpose items in your own closet that you may have stashed in the back because you’re not sure how to wear them.

This skirt is SUPER stretchy and flattering on all body types. I adore the palette for autumn and winter, but it can easily transition in to next spring as well. I’ve definitely been trying to keep an eye on my expenditures and a tight fashion budget for this season, so if you’re on the same page, hopefully these posts will inspire you to pick a few key pieces that can be worn multiple ways.

Fringe Binge

October 2, 2015

DFT-Club Sh_t Choices31 Love love love this fringe kimono! It has amazing colors throughout the pattern that allow for some great shade pairings.. a teal bag, purple and blue bracelets, orangey-brown boots.. And is an ideal layering piece for making the transition from summer to fall. Kimonos can easily add that “third-piece” finishing touch when worn with a tank and shorts, a shirt and jeans, or leggings and a slim-fit tunic.

Button-Shoulder Midi Dress

September 21, 2015

DFT- University of Redlands23Sometimes, you put on a dress and you just feel all the feels… Sexy, pretty, edgy, trendy, girly. This dress did that for me! I had to cut the lining out of it because for some reason, Forever 21 makes their lining about 5 inches too slim, but I threw on my Jockey Skimmies and you can’t tell the difference. I also took advantage of the Nippies I got in my last Box of Style, as a strapless bra is quite out of the question with this open-backed number. I could easily wear this to brunch, on a date, to an event.. So comfortable and so flattering.

This is outfit one of five in my #makeyourjeansjealous challenge I’m doing with Shannon from Layered by Cake Boutique on Instagram. We’re giving away some great prizes for the gals who participate, like store credit to her adorable online shop and gorgeous rose gold ear climbers. All are welcome to join!

Side note, please excuse my unpolished fingernails, I’m trying to give them a break by strengthening them with vitamin-enriched base coat every day.

Maxi in the Fields

September 16, 2015

DFT- Groves and Oak Glen29Holli (my lovely photographer) and I, were craving an outdoor adventure come photo shoot day. She remembered this old forest up in Oak Glen that she used to visit as a child, so we decided to make the drive and explore a bit. Unfortunately, it had recently been chopped down 🙁 but we stumbled upon a corn maze instead! It was a touch warm.. uhmm 95 degrees? So we didn’t quite make it through to the end. It was so nice to be in the serene surroundings, and even with the heat, the air seems so much more fresh out of the city.
