cardi and a sock bun

Cardigan: Loft

Dress: Target

Bracelets: Loft & Forever21

Shoes- Kohl's: Lauren Conrad

Belt: Thrifted

Necklace: Charming Charlie

Oh how I love warm weather.  You can't go wrong with a simple Summer dress like this one.  It goes with just about anything and it's so easy! I picked this dress up on sale at Target last summer for a super cheap price.  Gotta love Target sales!

This is another one of my sock bun attempts.  I had to keep stuffing my hair back in it all day. It was so frustrating. I think I need to try a thicker sock next time.  Have you had any luck with the sock bun?

Sucker for a Sale

Boots: Alloy

Belt: Thrifted

Necklace: Charming Charlie

Ladies, in case you haven't noticed, I'm a sucker for a great sale. What woman isn't?!?  This leopard bag is another one of my great finds!  I picked it up at Kohl's for eight bucks, originally priced at $70.  It took everything I had not to jump for joy when I found it. 

I promise when I get back in town that I'll post some outfits that do not include black skinnies ;)

Flex Friday

Blazer: Forever21

Jeans: Guess

Shoes: Chinesse Laundry

Scarf: Target

Belt: Thrifted

One of the many things I love about my new job is Flex Fridays.  We get the option of having every other Friday off for working a little extra each day. Not too shabby.  I just have to check my email a few times and I'm good to go!  It's been a rather eventful snowy Friday, had lunch today with a friend I haven't seen in a long time and her CUTIE baby. Then I stopped at Kohl's for my random sale check.  GREAT deals today, Ladies! I bought a leopard satchel for $8!!! Originally priced for $70. WOWZA.

If any of you are Kendi fans, you've seen this outfit! I pulled a copycat move with this one.  It's an outfit I found on her blog when I first started following her over a year ago.  I couldn't find it in her blog so I found it on Pintrest  here.

Everyone have  LOVELY weekend!

Method to her Fab-ness

Skirt: Loft

Shoes & Tights Target

Necklace: Thrifted

Bag: Jessica Simpson - Dillards

Last Friday we went out for my dear friend's b-day celebration.  She had on the most adorable b-day outfit ever. I really wished I snapped a pic.  Just imagine, chamary shirt, real leather pencil skirt with pockets, black tights and black flat boots.  Loved it.  She explained the method to her fabulousness and I loved it more.  She said, "I felt like I was in gradeschool again! I had no idea what to wear so I decided to wear all of my favorite things together."  Don't you just love that! Haha! I will file that into my outfit picking repertoire to use when I just can't seem find the right outfit. Love you, Val! Hope you had a fabulous birthday.

This skirt is always a go to when I have no idea what to wear.  It's black, and well, black goes with everything.

Bead Necklace & Belt: Thrifted

Between blowing my nose, coughing, and medicine head, I've had no energy to come up with outfit ideas. Have you ever had a NyQuil hangover?  Trust me, it's bad.  And no, I don't take NyQuil for recreational purposes.  

Anyway,  when I came across this little number by Molly at Urban Nester,  I had to recreate it!  Of course I wish I had the leather dress she's rocking, but I had to work with what was in my closet.  I like how it turned out. Dress turned jumper, I guess you could say.

New Tights

Cardigan & Top: NY & Co.

Skirt: H&M

Tights: Target

Shoes: Payless

I can't figure out what color these tights are.  I was in such a hurry to rip them out of the pack that I didn't bother to check the color name.  I guess I'd say coffee or maybe even a clay color. I think the picture kind of throws it off. They aren't really as red as they look in this picture.  Either way, I love them.  I really like the pop of color they added to this all neutral-ish outfit.

I'm in love with doing my hair like this! I taught a girl at work how to do it and she's wearing one today. I love it.

Freakishly Warm Outisde

Dress: Loft

Jean Jacket: NY&Co.

Boots: Alloy

Belt: Thirfted

Scarf: Target

Bracelet: Kohl's

We are having freakishly warm weather right now.  I'm not complaining though.  Usually this is the time we all cry about how cold it is outside.  I'm usually already over wearing tights at this point.  So, thanks Mother Nature for letting the legs breath a few extra days.

I'm on a roll with spring/summer to fall transitions.  This was one of my favorite dresses to wear this Summer. It's so easy to transition by simply adding a pair of boots or even tights.

Do you have a favorite spring to fall outfit transition?

Better Late Than Never!

Navy Pants & Flower Pin: NY &Co.

Shoes & Top: Target

Red Bag & Belt: Thrifted

Bracelet: Kohl's

I know I know, I'm behind on my posts. Stop yelling.  Better late than never, right?  This was my Wednesday outfit.  I had just enough time to snap pictures before fixing a feast for my favorite men in the world...Dad, my brother (Adam), and Drew. I made some killer sketty and parmesan garlic bread. Yummo. I swear all my stress and bad days are forgotten when hanging with those guys.

I picked this bag up a long time ago at a thrift store. I'm in love with it but I hardly ever carry it.  I'm a, however,  a very loyal bag/purse carrier. I get a new one and fill it with all my necessities and nonsense and end up carrying it until  it becomes a never ending garbage pit.  I have so many to choose from, not sure why I do that.   It's amazing what a simple clutch or bag can do for an outfit.  I've decided  to start incorporating different ones  into my outfits each day.  What's the point of having them if I'm not going to use them? Right? 

Spring to Fall

Dress: Thrifted

Shoes: Chinese Laundry

Blazer & Scarf: Target

You've seen this outfit HERE from this past spring.  This is a perfect example of how to flip a spring/summer outfit into fall. Simple and effortless!

I am so excited about Halloween this weekend!  We are going to a friend's house for a party tomorrow night.  I don't to spoil it and tell you about our costumes until I have pictures to post.  I made our costumes so I'm super proud of them.  I can't wait to show them off.

Dressing up for Halloween???

Taking advantage

Navy Cardigan: Target

Skirt: Loft

Belt: Thrifted

Boots: Alloy

Necklace: Charming Charlie

Hi pretties! Hope everyone is having a great week so far!  I just got back from my study date and I'm all snugged up warm on the couch.  It's cold and rainy out...ew.

Since my October shopping ban, I've been slacking on my outfit creativity, as you can probably tell by the lack of posts.  Over the past couple of months I think most of my outfit inspiration was coming from the new clothes I was buying.  I decided it was time to take advantage of this shopping ban and my closet!  I need to start remixing pieces I haven't worn in awhile. So, here goes nothing!

The Best Dress Pants

Pants & Bracelet: NY&Co, Top & Shoes: Target, Cardigan: H&M, Belt: Thrifted, Necklace: Kohl's

You can't really tell in the pictures but my pants are navy. In my opinion, New York and Company has THE BEST dress pants.  I love the length and flowiness of these.  I'm so biased that I've never really tried buying dress pants anywhere else.  So tell me, am I wrong? Is there an amazing pair of pants out there that I'm missing out on?  Do tell! How many times could I possibly say the word pants in this post?

♥ Happy Friday! ♥

The Winter Box

Top: NY&Co., Boots: Alloy, Skirt: Loft, Bracelet: Forever21, Necklace & Belt: Thrifted

Good morning, Loves! It's almost Friday.  Thank goodness! Earlier this week I dug out my winter clothes box. As much as I didn't want to see Summer go, I was ready.  I had about 6 skirts and a few sweaters packed away, this skirt included.  It was like Christmas! This girl loves to shop, especially when the seasons change.  Packing away clothes and the rediscovering them really suppresses my shopping addiction adventures. My wallet will appreciate that. 

Has anyone else busted out the winter box yet? Any great finds??
