Flatlay Outfit Ideas

January 23, 2016

I love a good flatlay! I think they’re awesome for getting (and giving) outfit inspiration because you can see every single item with one glance. Holli (my amazing photographer & friend) and I had some free time recently and decided to put together some fun flatlay outfit ideas to share with you all! I hope you enjoy 😀

Lyon & Post Try On Round 2

January 19, 2016

I’ve just got in another shipment from Lyon & Post, and this time I decided to show you all how I would pair the items I received with things already in my closet. After all, their motto is #farewellfittingrooms!

DFT- University Art Choices - 4 DFT- University Art Choices - 7First up is this leopard print sweater from Equipment. I decided to pair it with a faux leather skirt from Forever 21 and cut-out heels from Ivanka Trump. It’s fun, a touch edgy, and even comfortable! Equipment Sloane Crew Sweater, $298.

DFT- University Art Choices - 9 DFT- University Art Choices - 12Next, this fun star-covered sweater from Amour Vert. I really did dig the celestial print sweater. It seemed pretty well-made, was very warm and fit well. However, I own a sweater that is SO similar, I couldn’t justify keeping it. I threw on a sleeveless collared white blouse, black jeans and sleek boots, along with some vintage rhinestone jewelry. Amour Vert Celeste Sweater, $195.

DFT- University Art Choices - 13 DFT- University Art Choices - 15 This sweater from Vince was soooo tricky to wear! I paired it with a plaid button-down, grey skinnies and ankle booties. I liked the way it looked fresh out of the box, but not how it felt. It was akin to knit chainmail, like a sweater of armor. Not soft, not cozy… And it had an almost garish sheen in the sun, which is really saying something coming from me, someone who loves sparkle! It also showed every lump and bump of my layers and made my arms look huge. Pass! Vince Metallic Open Crew Neck Sweater, $275.

DFT- University Art Choices - 18DFT- University Art Choices - 22Last but not least, this drapey wool coat from Vince. I understand that wool has it’s own quirks, but this contraption is ITCHY. In all honesty, I could barely wear it long enough to take these pictures. The price point didn’t help, and I also thought at first sight that it was black (hence what I paired it with, grey skinnies and leopard booties). It is actually a deep navy. Oh well, back it goes. Vince Drape Neck Coat, $675.

I’m sad to say that this will be my last shipment for now. I’ve come to realize that the price points are too high and I don’t find the prices match the quality of a lot of the items. Not really the fault of L&P, but some of the pieces compare to some I already have which I paid a lot less for. If you have money to blow on a $300 sweater, by all means, go for it. I just didn’t find enough on the site in my desired price range to warrant continuing the service.

Subtle Stripes with Ruby Accents

January 2, 2016

DFT- Caroline Favorites - 92Well hello, loves!
I wanted to share with you two companies I’ve been loving working with recently… StitchFix & Rocksbox. Stitchfix is a type of styling service that sends you 5 items they think you may like based on very extensive surveys and questions about your style, body shape, etc. After receiving the package, you figure out what you like, and send back the rest within 3 days of arrival. If you buy everything in the box, like I did last time, you get 25% off your total order! That usually means getting a free item and a % off another. This striped, super soft sweater was in my last box, and I knew I would get so much use out of it this winter. I’ve been adoring the pairing of stripes and leopard, and the scales of these particular prints work so well together 🙂 If you’re interested in signing up, feel free to use my link here 😉
On to Rocksbox, the designer jewelry subscription service that sends you 3 items at a time to wear to your heart’s content, then send all of them back or keep what you like at a discounted price. My first box included this gorgeous ruby crystal necklace, a hammered gold “X” ring (which you’ll see in my next post), and a double-layered delicate chain necklace with a tiny, rhinestone-covered sphere. It’s only $19 a month, and if you sign up here using my code dressedfortimexoxo, you get your first month free!

Holiday Party Look : Sequin Tank

December 23, 2015

DFT- Caroline Favorites - 115Well, hello loves!
My third and final party look for the holidays is a simple, tried-and-true pairing of a sequined tank, a black blazer and skinny jeans. You can definitely opt for ankle booties if the weather won’t allow for heels (it’s been raining in Redlands since last night!) or even some knee-high boots with gorgeous hardware would be a fantastic substitution. This outfit I would definitely wear to a NYE party with friends.
Speaking of New Year’s Eve plans, currently, the idea is that Mark and I will be meeting up with a few couples for a little prix fixe menu action at a local eatery and then back to our house for some drinks to ring in the New Year. I have to work on New Years Day in the morning so I’m completely fine with keeping things local and low-key and this outfit will work perfectly for the occasion!
