Apparently this is the week of restyling things because today I am restyling one of my favorite tops with my favorite shorts of the summer. You can see how I previously styled this adorable eyelet peplum top with white jeans here. I’ve also shared these shorts with the cutest embroidered top here (also with these same shoes). I’ve worn this top so many times! It truly is one of my favorites. It goes with all colors of denim and shorts.…
I am constantly trying to think about how to get the most out of my closet and how to help you get the most out of yours. That’s what we all want right? Pieces we can wear multiple ways. Ideas on how to restyle things. More bang for our buck, etc. Today I thought I’d show you a completely restyled outfit. While things like jeans, sweaters, and t-shirts are obvious wardrobe basics and essentials in any closet, I really think…
You all know I love a good designer item here and there though my wardrobe isn’t made up of them. You also know I love a good deal! Today I thought I’d share a couple great places to shop designer items and also some good places to get them on sale. Great Places to Shop Designer Items Blue & Cream – This is a newer site to me, but they offer a great variety of higher end designer items that are…
9 months. Holy moly. You are a marvel, Ivy Jean. Some days I feel like my heart could burst over you. It seems 3 months have sped by since I last wrote an update on you. You have changed so much, so quickly. I have absolutely loved these last couple of months with you. You are FUN. Your dad and I look at each other almost daily and say, “What did we do before her?” You make us laugh, you make…
I know some people shy away from red because it’s such a bold color, but I would encourage you to give it another chance. It’s all about finding your shade of red. I think it can actually be a very flattering color to wear. It’s eye catching and complimentary when done right. I got to pick an outfit for my Madewell event over the weekend, and although I wanted to pick a cute summery top, I was so drawn to the…
Something I’ve worked on since Ivy was born was how to build a mom friendly wardrobe without sacrificing style. Any other new moms out there feel like this is more of a challenge than you anticipated!? I wasn’t able to breastfeed for more than 3 months, so I didn’t even have to deal with that extra layer of complication. The spit up, the need to be casual and functional, yet the strong desire to still feel like yourself. Marrying all of…
Why you need a berry colored lace midi dress you might ask? Okay not necessarily berry colored or even this exact one (though I do highly recommend it – great quality for the price). I just happen to think midi dresses are the ultimate wardrobe chameleon, especially when they are slightly dressier like this. It’s easy to add heels like I have done here and wear it to a wedding, wedding shower, fancy birthday party, special dinner date, or other…
I love a good work look. What I love even more is a work look with personality. This dress is business in the front, party in the back. When I got it from Banana Republic, I won’t lie, I was at a little bit of a loss as to how to style it. The front of the dress seemed more formal to me, and I love the open cross back but it obviously wasn’t fit for work worn alone. When faced…
I’m so excited because this Saturday, August 12th I’ll be hosting a Madewell event in Tulsa at Utica Square. If you’ve followed this blog for long, you know I am a huge Madewell fan. I was thrilled to be a part of the store opening last fall. I’ve since fallen in love with their denim (among other things). The skinny jeans you see me wear over an over that I raved about in this post are by Madewell. I recently…
What I love most about this peplum cami is that is the totally wearable now in the dead of the summer, and I can envision it being just as cute in the winter with booties and a leather jacket. I actually think it would be great for work with a blazer over it too. Don’t you just love a versatile piece? It’s the cami version of the dress I shared on Monday. Comes in the same baby blue and navy.…
