Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend. If you follow me on Snapchat (straightastyle), you already know Russ and I went with my parents to a demolition derby. It was really fun and a total cultural experience in small town Oklahoma. This fringe and suede outfit feels really me: trendy but not too dressy, a little edge but not grunge, neutral, and non-girly. Since I love my denim skirt so much, I had been eyeing its suede…
I’ve had a think for black and cognac pairings lately. First it was my black and white top with my cognac sandals, then it was my black dress with the same sandals, and now today it’s this back and white dress with my cognac platforms. Let’s talk about this dress. How great is it? I love this kimono style. It’s sooo comfy, and at $12 you really need to go purchase it now. No peer pressure or anything. I didn’t…
My 70s inspiration continues! I love this pair of flare jeans (last seen here), and I scored the best pair of platforms. This Michael Kors pair is 65% off at Dillards. Of course it’s no longer available online, but I just bought them at my local store. You can also find them on sale here just not quite as much. I paired my flares with the perfect 70s inspired off the shoulder top (only $14!). Don’t you just love the sleeve detailing? My…
How great is this embroidered caftan I just got from Forever21? I’m loving the boho vibe. I wore it for Mexican food with friends on Friday night, and let me tell you, there is nothing more perfect than a loose dress for Mexican food. Am I right? Bring on the chips and queso. And maybe a churro too… Hope you all had a great weekend! Embroidered Caftan: Forever21 // Gladiator Sandals c/o Choies // Sunglasses: Ray-Ban // Necklace c/o LuLu*s //…
First, I wanted to say thanks for your kind responses to my post on Wednesday. It always feels a little vulnerable to share something other than fashion around here. My takeaway is that we all struggle some with social media and comparison. We are all comparing to each other and all feeling like we don’t measure up when we do. I say let’s do our best to build each other up. I want to be a woman known for loving other…
I’m loving the 70s style that is cropping up in fashion lately. Jean skirts, bell bottoms, platforms, off the shoulder tops – bring it on. I first showed you this jean skirt a couple weeks ago paired with stripes and heels (here). This skirt is only $12. I mean, you just cannot beat that. These a-line button front skirts are a big trend right now. I won’t lie, I want the white denim version and the suede version. Shein has…
It’s week three of our Blogger Nation series, and we are wrapping it up for the summer with a head-to-toe look from LuLu*s. I seriously love LuLu*s, and they are having a big Outlet sale this Thursday, so stay tuned. Blogger Nation will be back this fall with more! I hope you all are enjoying this series. I know I am having fun with these other amazing bloggers. It’s been fun to get to know them all. You should see…
I love gingham. I’d been on the hunt for the right piece to add to my wardrobe when I saw this breezy midi dress from Chicwish. The lightweight fabric is perfect for these warm summer days, and I think it will be fun with ankle boots in the fall. I paired it with this beautiful statement necklace from the Red Reticule Collection (only $19). If you’re in the blogging world, that name may sound familiar. Bogi of the Red Reticule…
It’s been a while since I have done a post about Ditto’s Endless Eyewear Program, yet it gets regular airtime on practically every post. I decided it was about time I explained it in case you’re new around here or just wonder how I afford all the designer sunglasses I wear. I’ll let you in on a little secret: I don’t. With Ditto’s Endless Eyewear Program, you pay $19 per month (or $29 if you want prescription sunglasses) and get…
I’ve dubbed this the summer I made peace with the strapless bra. I’m sorry I just said that on the internet, but it’s the truth. I’ve always hated them but felt limited in my fashion choices by my hate. I feel like I have grown as a person. I mean, imagine the trends I would have missed out on in this season alone. Off the shoulder, I’m talking to you. Okay, in all seriousness, I realize there are far more…
