Print Playdress

November 6, 2015

It’s now November, and warm days are still a thing for those living on the west coast. I love to have flirty little dresses like this around for such days. This one in particular, has such a fun, season-less print, and a lovely movement when I walk. This dress was borrowed from Rent the Runway, one of their many more casual, daytime options available with the Unlimited subscription.
Side note, and completely off-topic, but I am still totally affected by Glenn’s likely demise on The Walking Dead! I cried when it was happening, and then again when the show was over and couldn’t sleep that night. I am completely aware that it’s just a TV show and not real, but it was just so sad! He’d been on the show forever, and you can’t help but hope for him to be reunited with Maggie, the love of his life. And also how devastated she’s going to be! Ahhh, I can’t.. Until next episode, which I’ve missed due to my nutty work schedule! I think they’re showing it again tonight 😀

Redlands Art Walk

November 6, 2015

I love my small town. Have I mentioned that?
The sense of community is definitely a huge plus, and they put on some of the most fun events to get everyone outside and giving back. Most recently was the semiannual Redlands Art walk, welcoming hundreds of local artists and vendors to sell their goods. As is the case with most events, they also offered beer from several of the local breweries and some tasty small bites as well.
I thought this would be the perfect time to pair up my new branch-print skirt from Layered by Cake with a button-down, cage sandals and a vintage leather-accented belt.

One Item, Five Ways ~ Cozy Chic

October 14, 2015

Partnering 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.

Mustard and Slate Ladylike Look

September 23, 2015

I’ve had this ASOS skirt for a few months now, and to be honest, have never really known what to wear with it. I was reading my friend Shannon’s facebook page (Layered by Cake), and came across her color wheel post. It inspired me to research color wheels a bit and I instantly thought of looking for shades to pair with this skirt! Mustard wouldn’t have been my initial thought, but I really like the way they play off of each other.

I love pieces like this necklace that bring together a couple of hues you wouldn’t normally think to pair up. I think accessories like necklaces and scarves are fantastic for inspiring new color combos. Next time you go to your closet, I fashion dare you to find a scarf with a couple different colors and plan an outfit around it!

On the note of a fashion dare, this look is number three in the style challenge I’m co-hosting with Shannon on Instagram for our #makeyourjeansjealous giveaway. There’s still time to join, you just have to post 5 looks by Friday. That could be a work look, a date night outfit, errand-running ensemble, etc. Just no jeans! Check out our pages on Insta for more details.
