Amp Up Your Tee

 

Tee: Banana Republic Factory Store Skirt: Gap Shoes: Vera Wang via Kohl's Belt: F21

I'm not really a fan of tee shirts. I don't wear them much....all the shirts I own have bells and whistles and do magic stunts. So, as I was shopping around the Banana Republic factory store, I saw this cute animal-print tee sitting prettily on the shelf and thought, huh, maybe I should delve into the world of fashionable, casual tee shirts. I think I'm on to something here.

And my hair is now long enough again to go back into a sock bun. All is right with the world.

Anybody have plans for MDW?

Name That Pattern

I am off and running...babysitting and school have taken me over! Hope everyone's having a nice week...and don't forget: patterns, patterns, patterns! :) 

Nothing Rhymes with Orange...at Least It's Pretty

I saw a picture on Pinterest of a girl wearing a black, flouncy vintage dress, a big chunky green necklace, and orange pumps...Cue my shoes. This Spring is all about color - neons, pastels, etc. Go for it! I've definitely gotten braver this year with trying new things stylistically and seeing what works for me. Bold colors are a definite must. 

I live in my chambray shirt. I adore it. Get yourself one, you'll see what I mean. 

Again, yet another outfit built out of staple pieces - see what a few essential items can do? My clothes have basically started to dress Me...gotta love 'em. 

(Are you guys noticing my obsession with blazers/jackets? I think I need help.)

PS: Attention All PTHS students! Come to the HOPE coffee house tomorrow night! 6:30 p.m. in the cafe - there will be professional comedians and homemade desserts!

PPS (last time, I promise): My sister and photographer, Liv, was wearing something so cute today, I couldn't resist snapping a shot when she wasn't looking :)

The Color Purple

I actually used to wear purple a lot. I mean, a lot. Ask my friends....I had - okay, I still have it - this purple velour track suit that I exercised daily. No, I never actually exercised in it.  While purple still is one of my favorite colors, I've learned to appreciate all shades of the spectrum.

I fell in love with these shorts, not only for their texture (cool, funky pleather), but for their ridiculously low price.  I scored these babies for $10 on the sale rack this weekend. Feels so good!

Add patterns, interesting textures, and some high-heeled booties, and your set :)

Happy Wednesday!

Flowers in the Trenches

I think Spring is just starting to come around...which is good because I'm so excited for spring fashion. Incorporating patterns (hence the pants) into your wardrobe is an easy and pretty way to add color and individuality to your outfits! I picked these pants (black, white, tan, pink floral pattern) up yesterday at Kohl's;75-90% off clearance, how could I resist? Obviously not.

A trench coat is another essential - it really ties an outfit together. 

Spring, please come soon! Happy Monday, everyone :)
