Make your summer dress work for fall

No Comments


 

Dress: Thrifted (similar here) Boots: Steve Madden via Off Broadway Shoes Faux Leather Jacket:h and m Sweater: Calvin Klein (thrifted, but similar here) Purse: Target (sold out online, but similar version here ) Rings: Gifted and thrifted

     Just because it’s getting colder doesn’t mean you need to ditch all your summer dresses. It’s actually really easy to make them work for fall and into winter too. My rule is add boots, socks, sweaters and jackets. In this case…. I added all the elements!
     I’ve been looking for turtleneck sweaters on all my usual websites, but I have a hard time spending a lot of money on something I know I’ll only get to wear a few months out of the year. I actually found this Calvin Klein sweater at Goodwill as I was looking for my Halloween costume. FIVE. BUCKS. I’m not even kidding. This turtleneck would be well over $80 if I bought it in a department store. 
     How are YOU winterizing your summer faves? Let me know!

Monochromatic

Monochromatic

     Hey everyone! Today was the first semi-chilly day in Vegas, and in less than 24 hours I’ve amped up my #FallFanatic mode to 100. I could smell the crispiness in the air today and it made me giddy. Like… drive to work singing the whole way giddy. 
     It’s still too warm for sweaters and scarves… but a girl can dream right? I love monochromatic outfits because it’s easy and always looks so chic. I also like the look of a scarf piled on a slouchy turtleneck. When it gets super cold you could add a tan below the knee coat. 
    Oh October, I’m so happy to have you in my life again!

Life Is Beautiful

No Comments

Dress: Free People via  Nordstrom Rack – that link will take you to other FP flowy dresses at a discount – Hat: Target – Shoes: Target (last year’s style, but similar version here) Purse: Foreve21 (old) Bracelets: Mix of American Eagle and Nordstrom Rack – Gree Ring: Gifted

Hey all! Happy Thursday! 
     I wore this outfit for our “Sunday Funday” this past weekend and thought it would also work well for a Life is Beautiful outfit. Tip: you’ll want to wear comfortable shoes as you’ll be standing the whole time. 
     I always lean towards Free People brand when I’m looking for something to wear to a music festival.I typically like dresses with some waist definition, but I like this one because while it IS loosey goosey… it fits nicely so you don’t feel like you’re wearing a mu-mu. You can also wear a bralette and not have your “bewbs” look sagged and bagged. So nice. I seriously felt like I was wearing pajamas!
     For low-cost Free People items – go to Nordstrom Rack. For the Las Vegas ladies out there… I’ve been to the one in Henderson and the one in Downtown Summerlin (where I got this dress). Both are great and have racks of Free People clothes.

Chambray shirt:Banana Republic (sold out online but similar versions here) – White jeans: Target – Heels: Target (can’t find them online, but similar clearance version here) – Belt: Vintage – Bag: Forever 21 – Watch: American Eagle – Necklace: H&M (old) – Sunglasses: The husband’s (he got them at a grocery store for $10… I’m not kidding!)

Happy Hump Day everyone! Here’s hoping the first half of your week was great and the second half gets even better! I love this chambray shirt that I got for basically nothing thanks to my little sis’s Banana Republic discount. (woop woop Albob!) If you don’t have one already… get one immediately. They’re great for spring, summer, fall… and you can layer them in the winter under your sweaters. Just replace them with your normal white button down for a little something different.

Nicole Miller Celebrates 10 years with JCPenney

Nicole Miller Celebrates 10 years with JCPenney

Nicole Miller is celebrating 10 years of collaboration lines with JCPenney by launching (in my own personal opinion) her best Nicole by Nicole Miller collection ever! Here are a few of my favorite pieces. Available September 4th. I want to let you know I have not in any way or form been paid for this… I’m just excited! If you order online now you can score some great discounts…

1. Black Skirt and Top with feather embellishment (On sale for $40 each): Why would you wear a boring LBD when you can wear this?!

2. Faux Leather Bomber (On sale for $60): I love a good faux-leather jacket.The faux-fur trim adds a little something extra – and I LIKE it!

3. Studded Black Purse (On sale for $51): I think I’ll forever love everything studded. Considering I wore my last one until basically all the studs broke off (R,.I.P.) this one would be a good addition to my closet.

4. Gold and Black Bracelet (On sale for $13): Bracelets are my favorite piece of jewelry and this one is just edgy enough.

5. Leopard Coat (On sale for $70): I’ve been wanting a leopard print coat for awhile. I need to try it on to see how it fits, but I’m already imaging outfits to wear it with.

6. Sweater/ Skirt Outfit (On sale for $25 and $30): Comfortable and cute! I would let the sweater bunch up a bit so it hits at the waist.

Pucker Up

Top: Sam Edelman – Jeans: Target – Bracelet: H&M Neckalce: Heirloom from Grandmother – Clutch: H+M (still available in some stores) – Shoes: Aldo via DSW

The ole’ picture in front of the garage pic. Ha! It was about to rain this day so we didn’t want to go
far. (That’s my excuse for this lazy picture and I’m stickin’ to it!) I found this top at Nordstrom Rack for a steal – and when I went back, I found the matching skirt to go with it! (That post coming soon).
When I wore this, Mike and I went out to play a little video poker, or as his momma calls it, “the five finger piano”. It was a low-key night but a blast because we both WON! That’ll help replenish our empty bank accounts from the wedding. NOICE!
Also, I have to share this… I read on some fashion website that skinny jeans were out?! Ok… they may not be as cool as high waisted flares or destroyed boyfriend denim, but let’s be real. They’re super easy and everyone is still wearing them! I should also let you know I read that article a week ago. and I’m still thinking about it.
Anyways… hope you all have a great weekend! We’ve got a busy one ahead of us, but I’m sure we’ll be able to slip in some time for new outfit photos. ; )
