Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great weekend. Russ and I took it easy for the most part. We did some home shopping and went to one of my BFF’s kid’s party. I also did a little online Christmas shopping. I cannot believe it’s already that time! Slow down fall… When this sweater dress arrived from SheIn (under $20!!), I was pleased to find out it really was more dress length than tunic (especially on anyone shorter than…
This past weekend, I took some photos for my friend Emily and her family. In turn, they took some of Russ and me. Besides being a lover of all things photos and documenting life through them, it’s that time when we all start thinking about Christmas cards. Even as a fashion lover, I find outfit planning for photos a little intimidating. I mean, only everyone we know is going to see this?! Last year around this same time, I styled some…
It’s amazing what good accessories can do to take an outfit from basic to special. A striped top and jeans is hardly revolutionary. Distressed jeans, stripes, a plaid blanket scarf, a hat, a fun bag, and fringe booties – now that makes a statement. However it doesn’t mean you change up your wardrobe. For the most part, everything in my closet is neutral and easily mixable. I just buy in-style and often inexpensive accessories to change things up and feel more trendy.…
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend. If you read Friday’s post or follow me on Instagram, you know we enjoyed spending some time with my college best friends and their families. I wore this look to grab sushi with everyone on Friday night. If you are like me, you may think of Naturalizer as a brand for a slightly older demographic than 20s and 30s. When they reached out to me about trying an item…
TGIF everyone! I’m excited about this weekend because one of my college best friends is coming to town to hang out. My other college bestie is in Tulsa, so it’s always fun to be reunited. I recently got this faux suede jumper from Maude Boutique (my favorite!). I love the fit and color, not to mention the fun back cutout. They have several other suede dresses, all for great prices (here and here), and I love them all! Snag it…
You guys know how I loved my denim mini skirt (worn here and here) and how much I love all things midi length. Naturally, when I saw the denim midi skirts come out, I knew it would be a perfect fit. These pair perfectly with booties, will be great with sweaters, and fun for fall. Mine is from SheIn, but it was a little too a-line for me. I had it tailored a bit. I’m linking a bunch of great…
Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend. Russ and I have been working on a master bedroom update and did a lot for it this weekend. I also had the opportunity to work with Jami of Photography by Jami Leavitt to shoot a couple blog looks. It’s always such a treat to hang out with her, much less work with her. If you are in the Oklahoma/Utah area, be sure to check her out. Sleeveless sweaters have really become…
TGIF everyone! Even though Denver was fun, I did work off and on all weekend. I am ready for a true weekend. I wanted to share a great outfit for work. This faux suede skirt from Choies (only $23!) is really nice. I was a little nervous about ordering a suede pencil skirt online that wasn’t easily returnable, but it turned out perfectly. I paired it with similar grey hues and cognac accessories to achieve a monochrome grey look. This sweater…
I’m loving all the pinafore style dresses I am seeing lately. Long, short, suede, leather, overall – you name it. I think it is all so fun. I snagged this midi length pinafore dress from Forever21. I thought it would be fun for fall with long sleeves and boots. I piled on some awesome jewelry from Lydell NYC, a company by women for women. Get 25% off your order with the code straighta25. They also are active in a charity…
I’m so excited to be teaming up with Gap Factory today to show you their slim city pants. I’ve been a fan of Gap Factory for a long time. There happens to be one in the town near where my parents live, and my mom, sister, and I love to frequent it when we are together. Gap Factory has all the great things you know from Gap but at even better prices. The Gap Factory slim city pant is a…
