A Baseball Tee

Hello! I decided to have a little fun by pairing my new polka dot baseball tee with a gingham shirt. I love this look! I'm also super excited about my new shorter haircut and my new lip color!

It's the smaller things that make me happy.

Feeling Pink

   

Hello Everyone! Hope you are all enjoying the weekend! I'm officially on vacation for 3 1/2 weeks, yay!! So super excited! But my vacation will be spent preparing for my upcoming school year so, technically, I will still be working somewhat.

I wore this outfit to work for casual Friday. This shirt is an oldie but goodie. It was the first gingham shirt I ever purchased. It's such a feminine top; I just love the little details like the ruffles and the pockets. I paired it with skinny jeans and wedges for a work appropriate look. 

Speaking of skinny jeans, I'm in love with this pair I found at Old Navy for $8. That's right, $8!! I've always spent an arm and a leg on jeans but I'm trying to be more practical with my purchases. Although I still think nothing fits me better than a pair of Citizen for Humanity jeans; I'm trying to explore more budget friendly options. I was so shocked at how well these Rockstar skinnies fit me and I almost passed them up because of the size. What is up with their sizing?!? These are a size 8 and they fit like a glove, bizarre!

Purple Gingham

                      

Hello All! I'm back with another gingham post. Lately I've been a little uninspired by my outfits so I haven't been taking any photos. I wore this outfit, last week to go thrifting. It was a breezy Spring day so I wore light layers. I combined my purple gingham shirt with a navy sweater, which look sheer in the pics, and leopard flats. This outfit is basically my spring uniform. When all else fails, I layer a gingham shirt with a sweater, cardigan or scarf. I also wore an olive green quilted jacket over the outfit, which I should have taken photos of because the colors looked great together. Oh well, maybe next time! Hope everyone is having an amazing weekend.

Wardrobe Remix: Green Gingham

Hello All! Hope everyone is having a great week so far. Today, I'm participating in Franish's 5 Days, 5 Ways Challenge to show you how I plan on remixing my green gingham shirt.  As I mentioned before, I absolutely love gingham and I recently purchased this green one at Old Navy. I've been looking for a gingham shirt in green  for a long time to add to my collection so I am super excited about these outfits. Here are three different ways that I will be wearing my new shirt.

Look 1:

Who says you can't wear floral with gingham. A gingham shirt paired with a floral scarf is a fun way to play with pattern.

Boyfriend Jeans: Banana Republic (old)

Scarf: Target (old)

Flats: Nine West Factory (old)

Bracelet: J Crew Factory, Forever 21

Look 2:

Look 2 features one of my favorite color combos: green and pink! It's a super casual look with a splash of color.

Ankle Skinny Jeans: Banana Republic (old)

Belt: J Crew (old)

Necklace: J Crew (old)

Flats: J Crew (on sale)

Look 3:

And last but not least, Look 3. I must say, this look was my favorite of the three. I love green with navy, truthfully I love anything with navy, and I love how polished I looked. This outfit is perfect for work, you can just substitute the jeans for a great pair of trousers.

Which look is your favorite?

Jeans: Seven for All Mankind (old)

Springing Forward with Gingham

Hello All & Happy St. Patty's Day! First off, let me say that I'm ready for Spring! I'm so sick of the snow!! Last week, I chose to wear a Springy outfit to beat the Winter blues. Don't let the sun fool you; it was very cold! That pile of snow behind me is still there, so depressing.... These bright emerald jeans (also featured here) were able to cheer me up and remind me that Spring is near. 

I paired them with a black and white gingham shirt and leopard flats. Gingham is my absolute favorite so get used to seeing me in this pattern a lot! They are a must have for the Spring season. I scored this gingham shirt from Old Navy for only $15!! Pretty much all my gingham shirts are from J Crew but I couldn't beat the awesome price at Old Navy. I also bought this shirt in green which will be featured very soon. If you like something, buy it in a second color. That's my motto!!

Hope everyone enjoys the upcoming week!

A Touch of Lilac

Hello All! Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. We received a few inches of snow this weekend but it did not stop me from getting out to take a few pics. I layered a gingham shirt in lilac with a v-neck sweater in soft peach.  I originally wanted to combine the gingham with a navy sweater but decided on the peach instead.

 I must say, i'm loving this color combo! The colors are so soft and feminine. The colors scream Spring, which I so desperately want to be here now!! I just scored this gingham shirt from J Crew at an awesome price. They are currently running an additional 50%  off on final sale items in their store. In addition, I was able to use my 15%  teacher's discount, score!! It's such a  simple outfit, perfect for work (my job has a very casual dress code) or for running errands on the weekend.

Stripes & Gingham

Stripes and gingham, what a pair!! Two of my favorite combos together in one outfit; it just doesn't get any better than that! I paired a red & blue striped sweater with a blue & white gingham shirt, jeans and riding boots. The look is super casual but still put together. The patterns are unexpected, yet, they work so well together. I can't wait to try this combo again with other colors!
