Breaking the BIG rule

13th May 2014

post52

Today, I am breaking a fashion rule, one that you really need to be careful with. We have all seen the terrible memes, but if done correctly, you can do this. You CAN wear leggings as pants. Take caution, because there is a right way to do this.

First, if you’re going to try to pull this look off, I think its better if the leggings are printed because it gives the leggings more of “pant look” versus just the typical “yoga style.” Next is probably the most important part…wear a shirt that is LONG in the back because otherwise, it’s just not an attractive look on anyone. Because leggings do not typically have back pockets either, this is another reason longer shirts are a must when trying to wear these as pants. I also like to wear longer sweaters to pull this look off.

One of the guys

Well, they were right we did end getting a TON of snow…like 8 inches. It was absolutely stunning to look at, and it wasn’t terribly cold, so it really wasn’t that miserable! But today, was perfect to be just “one of the guys.”

Let’s be real, who doesn’t love wearing their boyfriend’s sweats? Fortunately, because I do not have a boyfriend, I do have a brother I choose to steal from instead. My flannel shirt today belongs to my brother, but I noticed it hanging in his closet a while ago, and never have seen him in it, so I decided to make it mine and it is now one of my favorite pieces. He’s a lot taller than me, so it makes for a really comfortable look. This is the kind of comfortable look I go for versus sweats, because you can really make this look more fashionable, and honestly, sweats just aren’t a look I choose. Plus, adding my leather leggings really pulls the look together and gives a more “girlie” feel.

Keep it Trendy!

Another beautiful day it has been, and then I remember we are suppose to be getting 1-3 inches of snow… so why not take advantage of this weather while we have it?

Today I want to talk about trends. Trends can be tricky because you never really know how long they will last (ie hair feathers, I do really miss those) but today I am wearing three different trends that I am determined to keep current because I love all three of them.

The LAST day

13th May 2014

post41

Today was my FINAL day of my undergrad at Ball State. I am truly overwhelmed with the thought of entering the next chapter of my life, but I could not be more excited. This year has truly been a life-changer for me. I have learned real life lessons that I will take with me in my career. When I begin to become discouraged with the job search, I think back to everything I have accomplished here.

A piece through the ages

13th May 2014

I love most flannel shirts, and have since I was a little girl and saw my pappy and dad wear them when they would work in the garage. Back then, I was most definitely a tom-boy. Today, my style has evolved and I am way more girly than I was when I was younger. I love how flannel came back, and I can still wear it with fond memories of growing up.

My shirt is from PacSun and so are my navy jeggings! I love this top to wear over other shirts, or also by itself. I also like it buttoned all the way up to give it a little more of a different style. Fashion trends always come back. My nana constantly tells me that any piece I buy that is 70’s inspired (my favorite decade for clothing) she used to have in her closet. I love that fashion is constantly evolving, but it is nice when trends appear again.

What has been your favorite trend?

Sheer Floral

Today has been interesting, to say the least. My week is half over, and Thursday I will be telling my class what I want to make of myself when I leave Ball State (which I believe the countdown is now 39 days!) This is a really big question, and something I will be thinking about for the next couple of days. One thing I do know, is that in case I was chosen to speak today, I had an outfit on that made me feel confident.

Nothing but Neon

13th May 2014

Today I wore a pair of my absolute favorite pants…well, leggings. I wore my neon floral leggings from Kohls. I chose to wear a top from Forever 21. I also have a long black tank top under my shirt. These leggings are awesome because like many other pieces you have seen in my blog, they are very versatile. I can easily turn this look into a going out look with just a few additions. I would remove the longer tank top on the bottom and pair this look with black pumps or wedges instead of boots. These leggings attracted a lot of attention today, but if you are confident, it should not matter whether you’re receiving attention from strangers or not, even though it does feel nice to have your style noticed! So goal for the week, find a bold print and totally rock it. If it is something you have been wanting to try, do it. Honestly, what could be holding you back?

Do you opt for any bold or neon prints today?

Flannel Forward

13th May 2014

Today I felt being very casual chic, it’s my last day of class before spring break, so why not?? I decided to wear one of my favorite fall/winter staples, my flannel shirt from PacSun. I paired that with my navy jeggings, also from PacSun and finished the look with my Madden Girl boots. I am not much of a country girl, and this look can appear to be country, but I avoided that by wearing jeggings and fall boots, versus light denim jeans and cowboy boots (which if that is your thing, go for it!) My hair is styled in a messy side braid and Raisin Rage lipstick to complete my look. This was a very quick outfit to put together and I think it looks casual, and chic, which is exactly what I was going for!

Be safe on spring break, and don’t forget to pack your most fabulous fashions!

Mid-day midfriff

Today I wore another versatile outfit. I am wearing black high waist pants from Forever 21, a black cami and bluish/grey midriff top also from Forever 21. I love the simplicity of this look and I also being able to change this from a day look to a going out look. The only thing you need to change is to replace the black tank top, with a black bandeau top. My pants are higher waist, so you really aren’t showing as much as your stomach as it may seem. Ditch the boots, and pair it with a pair of black pumps. This look is so fun and so simple.

A quick note: just because you buy something to go out in, does not mean you can not wear it on a typical day! Many things can be styled down or up!

How are you being versatile with fashion today?

Black and Brown

Today is pretty chilly outside, but I was really in the mood to wear a pair of my favorite shorts (tights are wonderful for this reason). I am wearing a pair of Lauren Conrad brown leather shorts, a black tank top, and a black sweater from Forever 21. I love the black and brown combo and I think this color duo is great for fall and winter (which is another reason I chose to wear it today because HOPEFULLY spring is around the corner!) I also like that no matter the weather, you can wear whatever you want thanks to tights, leggings, etc. Do not hold yourself back from pieces you are ecstatic about!
