Layering 101

Anyone who knows me knows I love to layer. I rarely wear just one piece unless it's the summertime and it's 90 degrees out. So, I thought I would create a post on how I like to layer my pieces.

Look 1:
Look 1 features three layers. I love the look of layering a casual dress over a button up shirt. I paired a black & white striped dress over a chambray shirt and  topped the look with a herringbone vest. A pair of tights and booties complete the look.

Look 2:
Look 2 features a striped sweater over a chambray shirt and black skinny jeans. This is my go to look during the Winter. I often will swap out jeans for skinny pants or cords for a work appropriate look. Adding a statement necklace makes the look more interesting and a little dressy too.

Look 3: 
Look 3 is the easiest look to create and one of my favorites. I own very similar pieces in my closet and I wear this look all the time in the Spring. You can upgrade a simple tee and jeans outfit by adding a lightweight jacket and a multicolored scarf. One of my favorite jackets is my army green jacket which I wear with pretty much everything. Wearing a floral scarf ties the look and colors together.

I can't wait to debut some of my new goodies I received on the blog. But in the meantime, I remixed some oldies. I really wanted to feature a look with this scarf for some holiday inspiration. Hope you like!

Believe in Love!

Hi everyone! Hope everyone had a great week. I, on the other hand, am sick again!! I guess it's one of the drawbacks of being a teacher. I've been home sick for the last two days and though I always enjoy a day off; I don't enjoy it when I am sick and miserable in bed. But anyhow, believe in love, that is  the motto! I had to get this sweater when I spotted it at Old Navy recently. I think this would be a really cute gift for the holidays. I paired it with a chambray shirt and boyfriend jeans for a very relaxed vibe. Layering my chambray shirts with a sweater has been my go to look this Fall season.

What has been your go to look?

Date Night

Hi everyone, happy Tuesday!! I'm feeling completely rejuvenated after a week on vaca. I have two more weeks left of doing absolutely nothing, it's complete bliss. On Saturday, I enjoyed a date night with my hubby. My typical date night attire usually consists of a great fitting tee and great fitting jeans (with heels, a statement necklace and lipstick, of course.) This time, I switched it up by wearing a chambray button up over a striped maxi dress. 

This dress was another item on the way out of my closet. I bought it four years ago and wore it probably twice. These days, the dress is too small in the chest area. But then a light bulb came on in my head and I realized I can wear it as a skirt, bingo!! 

Dress: Old Navy

Shirt: J Crew Factory

Shoes: Steve Madden

Bag: Michael Kors

Necklace: Tiffany & Co

Bracelet: Pandora

Wardrobe Remix: The Chambray

Ladies and gentleman, my search for the perfect chambray shirt is finally over! I've been looking for the perfect chambray shirt for some time now and my lovely husband bought me this one for Christmas. I love it so much that I've already worn it twice since unwrapping it on Christmas day, and that is very rare! The chambray shirt is a must have, in my opinion, because it is so versatile and can be worn all year long; alone or as a layering piece.

I recently wore my chambray shirt two weeks ago with green denim. Here's how I remixed my wardrobe by pairing it with a black skirt and tights.

Seeing Green

      Today's post features a very popular trend last year: colored denim! I must confess, this is my very first pair of colored denim. Yes, I know, where have I been? I've seen them in every store and thought, it's just not practical. But after the holidays, J Crew had all their colored denim on sale for $29.99 with an additional 30% off. Needless to say, I didn't have anymore excuses. I picked this amazing bright green pair because they say emerald will be the color of 2013. Plus, it's so gorgeous!!! I paired it with a chambray shirt and a statement necklace. I must say, I am loving this outfit! It made me so happy just to wear it; I couldn't help but feel cheerful all day. Silly, I know, but an outfit can do that at times!
