A Good Friday, Indeed!

13th May 2014

Today was THE day. The day I have been waiting for since about…well, last June. I was finally able to bring my shorts out! It was a little on the chilly side, but I wasn’t about to let that stop me! Along with the beautiful we day we had, today is also, Good Friday. I’m not sure what you believe, or if this day has any significance to you, but it does for me. Here is great article if you want a little more explanation. Today, I am just reminded to be so thankful for everything I have, and why. We do have an awesome God, and I know I take that for granted, so this is one relationship I am going to continue working on.

With this beautiful weather, I felt inspired by the sixties. This is my absolute FAVORITE decade for fashion. Here is another great article highlighting some of my favorite styles. The sixties really introduced some of my favorite trends that are being brought back today. I love the patterns, the colors (yes, even that terrifically awful mustard yellow) and just the freedom to express yourself through fashion. I am ecstatic to see all these styles come back.

Thanks for the memories

This has been one interesting week to say the least, and when I say interesting, I mean that in the best way possible. I have let a few people go in my life over the past couple of months. Some were necessary, some were not, but regardless, none of it was simple. The whole time I have been wondering if any of this was a mistake, but I try to live my life without regrets. Of course, I wish in all cases, things were said differently, but at the end of the day, I have come to realize it happened. It was. It’s time to move on, but if there was one final thing I could say to the few that aren’t a part of my life anymore, it would simply be: Thanks for the memories. Good/bad/funny/awful/heartbreaking/loving, we did share something.

Denim on Denim on Denim

Today, I felt a little inspired after seeing a Teen Vogue article for a spring trend that I believe will be around long after the season has passed (if it ever fully gets here!) Today I decided to try denim on denim. There are different ways to pull of this look but I decided to go with black denim pants paired with a denim shirt. This gives a polished look, and almost is a little like color blocking if you decide to match your pants to your undershirt like I chose to do with mine. This look is fun because it is really simple and easy to dress up with accessories.

Breaking the BIG rule

13th May 2014

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.

Cold and Cozy

Today it started snowing…again. I love the snow for Christmas, but once the holiday is over, I’m ready for the snow to be gone as well. But, I can’t control the weather, but I can control how to handle it. So I decided to embrace it with my winter must-have. An oversized comfy sweater. I like to buy these a size or two larger for added comfort, this way too, they are long enough to wear with only leggings, like I did today. You can also wear oversized sweaters with jeans, but if I’m doing comfy, I’m going all the way and keeping with leggings. A sweater really is a winter staple, and this color is a neutral so that makes it great and versatile for different colored leggings or even jeans.

Steal my look: My sweater is from Marshalls, my leggings are from Forever 21 and my boots are from Urban Outfitters
