Jump Around!

13th May 2014

post46

If there is one thing I love, it is a daring look. If there is one thing I love even more, its a bright blue jumpsuit. I love all the fashions and trends from the 60’s and 70’s so you better believe I was ecstatic when i started seeing jumpsuits appearing in stores again. When I saw this bright blue jumpsuit I knew I needed it. It can stand alone and its straight-legged at the bottom so when it’s warmer, I can pair it with a pair of sandals or even heels/wedges to make it an evening look. It was fun pairing it with a busier blazer too because it really pulls the blue flower detail out of the blazer. I love this look because it is very versatile for the various seasons, and it’s a great color, super bold and bound to be noticed. Once it’s warmer out, I’ll be wearing this with heels and without the blazer, so it will look completely different than it does today. Don’t be afraid to embrace a bold color. I think by choosing something so bright, it helps to portray confidence. You should choose a bold color to wear this week, just try something new!

Steal my look today: I am wearing a blue jumpsuit from Top Shop (only $20!), a floral blazer from Burlington Coat Factory ($17!) and finished my look with my FAVORITE black combat boots from Shoe Carnival!

New Year, New Post

13th May 2014

It has been quite some time since a new post, but I decided that it is a new year, so we’re going to keep this blog going! I hope your holidays were filled with love, happiness and of course, new fashion inspirations. Today, I decided to mix some prints. This is one of my favorite trends because it is so easy, yet it really stands out and makes people want to ask you about it. Mixing prints can be pretty simple as long as both pieces aren’t too crazy. I opted for a busier pant and paired it with my more simple top. It really brings out the blues in both pieces, which was a goal for this outfit.

Working with Winter

13th May 2014

If you are anything like me, which I assume you are at least a little considering you are on my blog page, but if you’re like me, you are absolutely HATING this winter. What’s that popular phrase…”I just can’t.” I’m so over it, but since we have no control over it (besides the luxury of relocating to the south) our only option is to deal with and embrace it with our final chance to show off our winter pieces.

All that Glitters…

13th May 2014

post40

Tomorrow is the last day of my undergrad adventure. I am so excited and nervous at the same time, all in a good way. I really want to feel great my last days on Ball State’s campus, and to help with this I am choosing to wear some of my favorite pieces. Today I wore my black lace top from T.J. Maxx and I paired it with a pair of my favorite gold glitter jeans from Target. This look is so simple and yet sophisticated which is exactly how I felt today. It is crazy to think I will be done with school and walking across the stage next Saturday, but in honor of all the hard work I have done for the past five years, I am going to dress the part and feel good, even though I am sure to be a ball of emotions these next couple of days.

How are you dressing for finals week??

Humid days, tropical prints

13th May 2014

post37

Today was another spring day in Muncie! Despite the humidity (and all the wonderful things it does NOT do for my hair), it was amazing! I am so excited to be breaking out some more pieces from my closet. Today I chose a dress from the boutique Francesca’s. The colors are so bright and fun that it is perfect for a day like today, even with the humidity. It is a super loose, flowy feel to it. I also wore a pair of brown Blowfish flats to complete my look. This is so simple and a perfect casual look for school, and then also for work. With the bold print, I opted for minimal accessories (aqua bracelet from Urban Outfitters and my gold Michael Kors watch). The print is enough for the dress to stand alone. Spring, I think, is the time to really show your girly side and really play with prints and patterns. Have fun with it, because the only thing better than a beautiful 80 degree day, is an outfit to go with it!

How did you handle the humidity today?

Spring into Shorts

13th May 2014

post36

I feel like I can finally say, spring has officially sprung! It’s a beautiful, sunny day today in Muncie and I could not be more excited! I knew that I wanted to wear shorts today, I then I remembered I have the perfect pair to start off the spring season. I am wearing my black cross shirt from TJ Maxx, and with that, I have my black American Eagle sheer, high waisted shorts on. I think this is a great look because the shorts are loose fitting and really complement my black tank top, which is longer in the back. I am also FINALLY wearing my blush, Madden Girl oxfords, which I have been waiting MONTHS for.

DELETE Digital Drama

13th May 2014

post35

Today I am wearing my “Delete” t-shirt to help raise awareness for digital bullying and drama. This shirt is sold at JCPenney. Seventeen magazine teamed up with L’Amour Nanette Lepore to create this t-shirt for this awesome cause. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to STOMP out bullying. This is one way fashion is used in an extremely positive way. Using fashion to raise awareness and expressing yourself is the main purpose, I believe, for fashion.

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.

Spring day, winter style

13th May 2014

post32

Here is to hoping this will be one of the final winter posts I will need to make! I love snow for Christmas, and for a few days in winter, but now that it is technically spring, all I want is some sun! On a positive note, this weather has given us a few more chances to wear our favorite winter pieces.

Cold day, bold color

13th May 2014

Post30

Today was a fun mix of class and fashion photo shoots! For a magazine my class is working on, I had to photograph some street style, more specifically, accessories. One trend I noticed was bold framed sunglasses. I felt like I followed this trend with my bold color choice with my clothing today. I chose to wear a navy sheer top from Forever 21 and my gold jeans from Target. In the sun, my pants were pure sparkle. They are so fun for a sunny day and really add to a look, and even make a dark color, like navy, really pop! I love incorporating bold color into my style, whether that be through sunglasses, or even a pair of my favorite jeans.

Did you wear any bold color today?
