Raise your hand if you love ponchos?! I actually have several in my closet because when you can basically wear a blanket out of the house and get away with it, why wouldn’t you want to?! Okay, sorry for all the “!?” I’ll stop now. I just needed you to know how I really felt. Anyway, today we are talking about how to style a poncho with jeans. On Friday’s post, I’ll be styling this same poncho with a dress.…
Sharing this gorgeous feminine and edgy outfit combination plus a little life update today. It’s been quite the week you all. Ivy Jean had been sick for days with a fever she just couldn’t shake. Two doctors visits, even more phone calls, and multiple blood tests later, we landed in the hospital on Friday. If you’ve been following along on Instagram (@straightastyle), you know we found out she has pneumonia. We stayed overnight and were discharged Saturday. We are so…
This is the prettiest cold shoulder ruffle sleeve top! It’s perfect for this time of year because the sleeves keep you warm enough while the cold shoulder cut out is perfect for a night out. It’s another Amanda Uprichard piece that I picked during my visit to the showroom while in NYC. Remember the gorgeous black dress (seen here) that I wore while at fashion week? She makes the prettiest pieces. These sunglasses are my newest obsession. So fun for only…
How great is this star cardigan?! It’s so comfy and soft and makes a fun addition to any outfit. I wore it over the weekend when we finally had temps cool enough to require a sweater in the morning and evening. I wore it once as pictured and another time over stripes. I love how it paired with my mirrored sunnies (only $14) and glitter sneakers (on sale here and also available here). Speaking of sneakers, I am on a…
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend! We had a wonderful, full one. Thursday Russ had a work related event that called for getting dressed up. You know I love any excuse to get fancy, and I wore the perfect fall cocktail dress. I love the embroidered floral detail, the sheer paneling, the long sleeves, and the midi length. It can be tricky to find the right type dress for cooler seasons, so I was thrilled to…
Should you try straight leg jeans? Have you seen them in magazines and on bloggers and wondered? You might be able to tell from these photos that my answer would be an emphatic YES! I happen to love the versatility of the cropped length. Sometimes it can be tricky to find the right pair, so I would encourage you to try on several cuts/styles before giving up. This is the pair I featured on Wednesday’s post. They are on sale…
Ya’ll I’m on a major jeans kick. I guess that is nothing new. I wear them most days of the week except when I work, and even then I wear them to work on Friday. With all the fun silhouettes out there, I thought it would be fun to round up the best jeans for fall. Shopbop Sale Yesterday Shopbop also started one of their best sales of the season. As many of you know, I work with Shopbop. It’s…
This week it is finally supposed to start feeling a little bit like fall here in Oklahoma. NYC gave me a tease as it was 70s/60s while I was there. This rust color is one of my must haves for fall. It reminds me of the colors of the leaves, all things pumpkin, and just transports me to my favorite season. That’s probably why I loved this dress so much. The color along with the asymmetrical hem sucked me in…
rewardStyle Party I’m excited to be sharing my third and last outfit from NYFW today. If you missed the other two, you can first the first here and the second here. I wore this gorgeous dress (more sizes here) to the rewardStyle party on Saturday night. I loved the detailing with the sheer back and feminine fabrics. At home I’d always add a cami underneath, but I figured for fashion week I’d go crazy and leave it sheer. It was such…
Today I am sharing my second look from NYFW. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but I love this one because it’s just more fun than a typical look from me. If ever there was a time for fun fashion, it is New York Fashion Week. I’d been wanting a pair of pants like this with the kick flare at the hem and was delighted to find these for under $100. The sheer tunic made the perfect pairing. I like…
