Denim Craze











Surprise, surprise, another denim outfit! I am seriously so obsessed with chambray this season, I wear it with just about anything and everything! My favorite combination of chambray is paired with more chambray! There is just such a cool vibe that it exudes that I just love! 

This wicked cool white denim skirt has a cut out, scalloped detail on the bottom that is so unique! I scored this mini skirt on mega sale at H&M. It may be a pain in the butt to search through the sale section at H&M, but there are some great finds in the mess! This skirt was $5 and pretty good quality for H&M, I wouldn't recommend bright pink underwear but the skirt held up all day without stretching out!

I feel like denim mini skirts can easily look very 5th gradeish, so to help dress up the skirt, I accessorized! These strappy heels from Target totally took the outfit up a notch (or 4 inches ha!) It made the look more age appropriate while still blending in with the theme of the chambray. Add in lots of arm candy and wooden earrings to match my shoes, and bam! age appropriate denim mini skirt. 

Since the outfit could easily be categorized as farm girlish with the hat and all the denim, the accessories helped make the outfit look more polished too! To help keep the look fun, I chose a shirt with polka dots instead of just a chambray shirt! It was the line between farm girl and cute! 

Enjoy your Friday!

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink










This pink outfit makes me so happy! Pink is my favorite color as I've said a million times before! This outfit is so fun with the pink stripes and swingy skirt! But what puts it over the top is the pink color. This outfit would be adorable in neutral colors (in fact I've worn nearly the same outfit in black and white) but the pink just makes it an extra something special. 

This top is from Joe Fresh and the skirt is from H&M. I love H&M for cute, unique pieces and the price point is great! I was surprised at the quality of the skirt for the price ($14!) It just so happens that Joe Fresh is my go to for basic shirts since they are a good quality and they have many different color and pattern options!

Now on to the accessories. I loveeee this Kate Spade clutch that looks like a newspaper! I mean really, it is so cute and clever, it makes me feel like a business women when I carry it! It literally is made of paper! It adds the perfect quirky touch to any outfit :) 

The two friendship bracelets I am wearing are from Kate Spade's On Purpose line. I think this line is awesome and that it is something all companies should look into! What Kate Spade did was train women in Rwanda on how to make bracelets, scarves, and totes so that they could become a supplier for Kate Spade. The women are provided with jobs to help boost the economy in their village. It is awesome to think that just buying a bracelet has helped women in Rwanda better their lives! Go buy some cute Kate Spade goodies and help women in Rwanda!

Mint Frills








This color combination is soo pretty! Mint and pink always always look like girly perfection together! Add in some polka dots and frilly sleeves and its a girly concoction! To keep the accessories in the girly theme, I paired it with a big pearl necklace and a gold sequined clutch. And of course, my typical arm candy overload! 

These pants are from Joe Fresh and I am very impressed with them! First off, they are so dang cute! They are the perfect shade of pink with fuzzy polka dots that you will just constantly want to play with! I wore these all day and they didn't stretch out or sag which is normally the case with cheaper denim. 

Speaking of cheap, I got these beauties on sale at JCPenny for $5.97! I hit the Joe Fresh jackpot at the perfect time, right before spring and just after winter! Make sure you shop after the season to get great deals! I know I am buying winter clothes now for next year. Just be sure that you are buying staple pieces that will be in style next season, not just trendy items the store is trying to get rid of. It makes pulling out my winter stuff and remembering all those new clothes way more fun, its like a mini surprise Chirstmas that you almost forgot about!

Always keep your eyes open for those off season style steals!

Gingham and Pleats!










Being a big Syracuse University fan, anything orange and blue will always be my favorite! But add in gingham and fun pleats and the outfit is just over the top! I love how the three big stripes in the skirt mix with the small gingham print of the blazer! I wore this look on Mothers Day to church and running some quick errands with my mama. 

I hope everyone had a great Mothers Day and spoiled their moms!!

Neon Squart









I wore this look to a concert at my boyfriends school to celebrate the last day of classes! I wanted a fresh, fun, and bright look to celebrate! I looked in my closet and picked out the brightest shirt I could find and rolled with it! This squart (am I spelling that right? is it even a real word?!) is Forever 21's take on the ever so popular Zara squart. I love it because it is super stretchy and the perfect length. 

To play off the neon theme, I paired the bright pink shirt with a neon yellow crossbody bag. These bags are perfect for concerts because it will hold everything you need but both of your hands are free for dancing! Since two neon colors weren't enough, I put on a orange neon necklace and my green mirrored aviators! The more the merrier! 

I have had a serious love affair with these Target heels since they first came out. I rarely ever buy shoes at Target full price since they always go on clearance at the end of the season! I had been keeping my eyes on these for months and at my last trip to Target there was one pair of these heels on clearance in my size! When that happens the rule is you absolutely have to buy them! They best part is they were 50% off! So, next time your at Target, make sure to check the clearance section for cute, cheap shoes! 

Happy Weekend!!!

Pink Stripes and Flowers








Today I decided to go shopping in my sisters closet! She is all about cozy clothes and bright colors! I loved this sweatshirt from Gap. It has bright pink stripes with white sequins on it that says "Be Bold."I knew that I wanted to pair the stripes with a different pattern and they picked up the pink in these floral shorts perfectly! 


My favorite way to wear patterns is to mix them together! It makes the outfit fun and bold. Which perfectly plays off of the Be Bold sweatshirt! 

Have a great weekend!

Snakeskin and Slouchy Pants








Okay- I reallyyy need to find a good background for these pictures! I love how colorful the green is but the angle of the sun washes out the color of the clothes :( But rest assured! I am on a mission to find the best background to take pictures! So with that being said, it is nearly impossible to see how cool the snakeskin print of the top is which is fairly disappointing. 

This outfit gives off a chic, fun vibe. That is partially because of the mixture of textures. The silky snakeskin top with the slouchy velvet pants is a unique combo that doesn't seem like they would work together, but they totally do! The top and bottom both are slouchy, but since the pants go into a tight ankle bottom and I tucked the front of the shirt in, the proportions work together.

To help transition the velvet pants to spring, I brightened them up with white shoes and the white snakeskin top. It brightens up the pants so they don't look too dreary in the spring! Since it was such a neutral palette, I popped a color with a bright neon yellow cross-body bag which helped make the outfit appropriate for spring. 

And to top it off- I paired the look with orange lipstick which is my favorite beauty trend for spring! It seems hard to pull off, but if you get the right shade for you it is perfect for a fun outfit like this! It has the boldness of a red lip but it lighter for spring and summer! My favorite lipsticks are from the Maybelline Vivids line and topped with the NYX butter lip glosses!
