Moto Jacket and Pleated Skirt

October 26, 2015

I was going through my closet a few days back and came across this tank I had bought from Nordstrom Rack. I realized that all throughout summer, I hadn’t worn it even once! For shame, I think it’s quite cute. Then I got the idea to make it a layering piece for fall! I could also wear it with jeans, boots, and a long cardigan on top.
What’s a summer item you’d like to restyle for fall?

Button-Shoulder Midi Dress

September 21, 2015

DFT- University of Redlands23 Sometimes, 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.

Polka Dot Midi Dress

August 23, 2015

Another fun piece from the I Heart Ronson line at JcPenney!
When it’s as hot as it has been in, I long for lightweight printed dresses and bare sandals (not to mention, my hair off of my neck!) to keep me cool. I found this dress recently on JcPenney’s website and knew I would love it for running around town, although with a couple of tweaks, I could totally wear it to work.

Flamingo Set

August 21, 2015

When I was perusing JcPenney’s website the other day for fun little things to help decorate with for our upcoming housewarming anniversary party (any excuse to throw a party, right?!), I couldn’t help wandering over to the I Heart Ronson section. I’ve found some really cute, well-made tops from this line for work before and love that the inventory changes so frequently. I fell in LOVE with this top and skirt set as soon as I saw it… Playful, flattering, kind of cheeky, but still work-appropriate. With eBates, a coupon code, and their already reasonable prices, both of these items were under $35 total! I would definitely pair the top with some skinny black pants or blue jeans, and the skirt with a black top or white T-shirt and sneakers to casualize (that’s not a word, autocorrect?!) the look.

Say hi to Holli!
