September Stitch Fix

October 8, 2016

September Stitch Fix - Blue Trench, White Blouse, Statement Necklace Welcome to my September Stitch Fix!
This month, I requested from my stylist a grey sweater, a midi dress, colored jeans, a trench coat, and another fun item of my stylist’s choosing. I mostly got what I asked for, but it wasn’t quite what I was expecting. The trench was a darker blue, not quite navy, which I actually appreciated it being in a non-standard shade, and it was still very versatile. When playing around with outfit possibilities it went with nearly everything I paired it with! The only major downside was that it wrinkled like CRAZY. I don’t feel like carrying my steamer around with me, so back it went. I was wanting a more neutral, chunky knit grey cardigan, instead I got a 3/4 sleeve, lightweight printed version. Still super cute and I thought it paired perfectly with white denim. The wildcard item was a lace strappy tank. It was a little too festival-season for us to be going in to fall, so it also went back. Read on to check out the rest of my September Stitch Fix.

You’ll recognize this look from my last post. I love this piece because it’s so soft, has fun fringe detailing at the bottom, and it’s the perfect “throw it on over a tank and jeans and go” item to make an outfit complete. This one was a keeper. Cardigan, kept, $54.

September Stitch Fix - Striped Midi DressThis midi dress just really isn’t my style at all. I’m not drawn to the print or the halter neckline, and the fit was way off. Dress, $68, returned.

September Stitch Fix - White Lace TankDo you see what I mean about the Coachella-worthiness of this top? It’s just not my thing, plus it was a very small large. Tank, $54, returned.

September Stitch Fix - Purple JeansAnother permanent on my wishlist is colored bottoms. These were definitely more purple than burgundy, and I didn’t see these as getting much use this fall and winter. Jeans, $88, returned.

All in all, I ended up keeping just the cardigan. Next time, I’m going to ask my stylist again for another grey cardigan or sweater, something more cozy and chunky knit. I’m also in the mood for a new crossbody bag or maybe a pretty print scarf.

Colorblock Poncho & Platform Booties

March 7, 2016

Colorblock Poncho & Platform Booties - Dressed for TimeHello, loves!
I hope you all are doing well. I, unfortunately, have come under the weather. Quite fitting as it’s been raining for the past 2 days here in Southern California. It’s funny that after working at an urgent care and being surrounded by sick people all day, I RARELY get sick, and now I catch a bug from my boyfriend! Le sigh.
Moving on to happier topics, it is nice to bring back some of my much-loved cozy layering pieces, like this color-blocked poncho wrap. I always look for pieces that can easily be removed and carried, because no one wants to walk around with a heavy coat on their arm while trying to shop!

A Walk in the Park

January 17, 2016

Hooded2 Hello loves!
I hope this post finds you thriving in this sometimes daunting part of the new year! Resolutions have been made, lifestyle changes have begun to take place, and I wish for everyone a happy and healthy month. I’ve been attempting (mostly successfully) to channel a lot of my stress into committing to the 21 day fix/Beachbody program. I was introduced to the plan by Shannon at Layered by Cake, who connected me with my coach, Caitlyn (also the winner of our #weekwithoutjeanschallege). I met up with Caitlyn to deliver her prize, we ended up chatting for hours, and I discovered that she was involved with a lifestyle company called BeachBody.
I’ve been on the fix for 20 days now and will be taking a few days break before starting up again. I really feel like it’s a great way to get on a healthy, fit track. I have so much more energy, my clothes have been fitting more loosely, I feel stronger, and it actually does make me feel good to know that I’m doing something great for my body! Shakeology is hella expensive, but I love it mixed I with spinach and fruit (especially mango & strawberries or peanut butter and frozen cherries, yum!) in the morning for a nice energizing boost and the knowledge that I’ve gotten in a fruit, a vegetable & a protein before I even leave the house!
Whatever methods you use for creating a healthier lifestyle, I hope you have fun and enjoy discovering new ways of allowing yourself to feel better! 😀

Navy Blues

November 18, 2015

DFT Centennial Plaza Choices01It’s always a treat to spend time in the Layered by Cake boutique, checking out all of the cute new items Shannon has brought in. I was immediately drawn to this scarf as soon as my eyes locked on it. The shades of blue and brown instantly brought to mind several outfit pairings… Over a gray or cream-colored dress, with an ivory sweater and cognac knee-high boots, etc.
Navy is definitely one of my favorite hues for fall. It’s chic and comforting, but not as stark as black.
