Gold Sequin Polkadots

Shirt: TJ Maxx | Jeans: Joe's Jeans | Boots: Aldo | Watch: DKNY

It's been what seems like forever since I last posted...but as they always say it's better than never. You just get caught up in life sometimes and have to prioritize what is most important especially during this time of the year! I've had a lot of parties at the Country Club I've helped work and the other little free time I've had has been spent with this wonderful guy named Greg. As much as I love ya'll, he wasn't about to get put on the back burner! But I have a few fun posts lined up and ready to roll out this week! So stay tuned.

This top was one one of those lucky finds that aren't normal for TJ Maxx Juniors section! One I don't fit in Jr's clothes and two it's too classy to be in the Jr's section as well. haha The pale pink with gold polkadot sequins has become a favorite. This week I paired the top with winter white slacks and gold accessories and looked quite festive even though this is not your traditional red and green! 

These fun shots were taken a few weeks back up at my church when a few of us girls wanted to have a fun fall photo shoot! Thus producing 1000's of images like you see below. This is one of my top pics!

Happy Merrymaking this Christmas!

J.Crew Inspired...

Jeans: Kenneth Cole Outlet (similar here) | T-shirt: J.Crew | Blazer: Gap | Shoes: ALDO | Watch: DKNY |
Bracelets: Target, Target, Bauble Bar

It's Monday and a little J.Crew inspiration was the theme of this past weekend! My sister and I enjoyed a special last night about the man behind the brand...it was like a look into his head, his design, and what has made him so successful. After that show, you couldn't help but be influenced to wear something a bit J.Crewish. Bright colors he said are like a palette of paint a fashion artist has to work with. So naturally I started with the brightest orangey-red pants I had and built a J.Crew look from there. What brands or designers inspire you?

Fedora Faze: Part 1

Shirt: TJ Maxx | Jeans: Joe's Jeans | Hat: Target (similar, similar) | Shoes: ALDO | Bag: Michael Kors |
Jewelry: DKNY Watch, JCrew Bracelet (similar), Necklace (Vintage)

As much as I've searched for a Fedora hat...after trying on every single one at JCrew...Gap...BananaRepublic...TJ Maxx...Marshalls, where do I find the one I've fallen for? The Men's Dept. at Target! I say it a phase, but I don't foresee myself getting tired of this "faze" anytime soon.  I've donned the hat at the pool, running errands, posing for pictures, being offered beer while taking pictures, and oh the waterpark's lazy river. What favorite accessory have you been in love with all summer?

Stay tuned for Part II coming soon. Happy Wednesday Friends :)

A Funky Chevron...

Skirt: Gap | Cardigan: Gap | Shoes: ALDO | Bag: Bueno by Target | Necklace: F21| Earrings: Urban Outfitters

A little funky chevron? I know you've seen the horizontal zig-zag stripe all over everywhere here lately...it's trending hot and heavy. I'm confessing to you now that I snatched up this skirt a year or so ago before this was "in". Call me a trendsetter. KIDDING. But I've enjoyed the shorter, cooler skirt for this summer's heat and found this lightweight colorful cardigan at Gap just the other day while hitting up some of the end of summer season sales at the mall. This is the best time to shop the current season's sales because stores are already getting ready for fall merchandise. Go shop!

I wore this out to Michael Jackson's Immortal World Tour concert last week on a very spur-of-the-moment night out with my brother and a couple of his friends. We are crazy like this but had a super fun time! Michael Jackson music, Cirque du Soleil, and a MJ hologram that kinda creeped me out. What style is keeping you cool this summer?

Accessorize...

Shirt: Urban Outfitters | Shorts: Lucky Brand | Shoes: ALDO | Clutch: H&M | Scarf: Urban Outfitters |  Sunnies: Ray Ban

So good news! Everything I am wearing in this post can currently be purchased in stores right now. I know...it's amazing I don't have on something old, but the links to each store are found above. Enjoy your nice online shopping experience! It can be a dangerous experience for me.

Today is all about the accessories. You notice how I kept the same core outfit but created two totally different vibes all with a scarf and purse. You have the trendy neon look going on with the scarf and clutch and a more classy neutral with the belt and Louis. Which look to you like better? Don't be afraid of accessories and better yet revamp some of your same outfits with a new accessory twist this week.

Shout out to my best friend Meredith for this super hip H&M clutch for my birthday today! She always does a fabulous job with my birthday gifts. Check out her blog at Create That Outfit...I promise you she won't disappoint:)

Happy Monday again friends! I'll share some of my new birthday gifts with you this week...

Orange + Navy

Dress: NY & Company (old) | Blazer: Gap (similar) | Purse: Coach | Shoes: Aldo | Necklace: F21 (similar); American Eagle (old) | Watch: DKNY (TJ Maxx) | Sunnies: RayBan

Orange & Navy have been a trending color combo this summer! It reminds me more of a classic color block by pairing two opposite colors but keeping the navy neutral instead of a bright blue. Throw on some camel, leather accessories and you have your look which can easily carry from day to night or to the dentist as I so enjoyed today!

Today's look came from a bit of inspiration that I wanted to share with you today:
