On my style page, I mentioned that I had submitted outfits to the Redbook’s Real Women Style Awards. I am SO excited to share that I was selected as one of the 25 semifinalists for America’s best-dressed women…I even made it onto a Redbook promo!
Voting goes until May 12th and the 10 finalists will get coverage in Redbook Magazine’s September issue!
Help spread the work using the hashtag #RBKBestDressed, and make sure to vote (…for me)!
Leather makes me feel like such a badass! I love wearing my moto jacket or (in this case) my faux leather panel skirt. They both add a little edge to my look.
What do you wear when you want to feel a little rebellious?
Going through my clothes and trying to purge is an emotional roller coaster! Things I haven’t worn in years, become my favorites and things that really just need to be tossed, all of a sudden have indescribable sentimental value.
This yellow skirt was not one of those things. It was in my donate pile and I was ready to part ways with it. That is until I saw this outfit from Chandra of More Modern Modesty come across my Instagram feed. It is so creative and super chic, so I dug through the pile and yanked this right out!
Newly inspired, I came up with a week’s worth more of outfits for it, and yeah, I’m keeping it.
Has anyone ever inspired you to try a new way to style something you never wear? Would love to hear your story!
I have an obsession with cute socks, and when I got the opportunity to share about SoxxyAir, I knew I couldn’t pass it up!

Not sure if it was obvious or not, but I’ve been trying to do somewhat of a fashion Friday by consistently posting outfits ideas via A Week Plus. That being said, I know I’m a little late, but it’s still Friday somewhere!
This dress was a personal challenge for me, I could only think to wear it with blue shoes. I have two pairs of blue shoes, but I still wanted to try to think more outside the box.
When I really focused on it, I came up with a ton of different ways to wear it and felt silly for limiting myself in the first place.
How would you have styled a dress like this?
In the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day…
Will you be sporting green on Monday?
One of my New Year’s resolutions this year was to shop less. I knew that if I quit shopping cold turkey, that I end up blowing money on a massive shopping spree and that would kind of defeat the purpose. My goal was to cut out particular spending each month. So January, no clothes shopping, which continued into February. March is going to be no makeup shopping, and I’ll figure out the rest as I go. I also just generally tried to shop less than I normally would.
Aside from a few Poshmark hiccups in January, I have been doing really well with this. So to reward myself, I set today aside to go clothes shopping. I went to Old Navy and was pleasantly surprised by their spring collection this year. Normally I would go into every store, but part of my method of shopping less is pick a destination in advance to avoid mass impulse buying. Another part of my method is to try on everything first, this way I know if I like how it looks on and know for sure that it fits.
Even though I wanted it all, I ended up getting the black dress, the blush sweater, the blush top, a sweatshirt for a diy project that I saw on A Beautiful Mess, and a harness for one of my dogs (it was on clearance and so was the blush sweater).
See anything you like? What do you think I should have gotten?
This week I wanted style something that I’m sure just about every owns. I also wanted to plug my favorite white t-shirt.
I know that I have mentioned Birchbox in a few posts, and while it remains my favorite box subscription, it is not the only one that I am currently signed up for. I decided to try Giuliana Rancic’s FabFitFun and liked not only the products that came in the box, but the fact that it included vouchers for a few things as well.
One said voucher was for $20 toward Me Undies and being that I wanted to get the most out of my voucher without spending a single cent of my own, I opted to try one of their t-shirts. Great life choice! I’m tiny so I got an XS and the fit was as if it was tailored for me! I should probably invest in at least another one, because, if I could get away with it, I would wear it every single day. And sleep in it…
Do you have a favorite white tee? What brand do you recommend?
Ever since high school, and maybe even before that, I have found planning out my outfits for the week to be enjoying and somewhat meditative. Writing ideas down helps me to stay organized when planning, my notes aren’t entirely legible, but they work for me.
A fun fact about me: I LOVE LEOPARD PRINT…leopard any and everything. When asked what my favorite color is, I would say yellow, but in all honesty it’s leopard print.
The famous Jenna Lyons quote, “As far as I’m concerned, leopard is a neutral,” is an understatement.
So naturally when I wanted, another understatement, to do a second A Week Plus post, I felt I had to incorporate leopard somehow. Given that one of my favorite shoes are Steve Madden leopard print, pony hair heels, I went with it.
What is your take on leopard? I mean, I LOVE it, but are you over it? Do you own anything leopard print or have a favorite leopard print something? What is it? Please share, links to photos are more than welcome, they are encouraged…I want to see!
I have entered a lot of contests and giveaways in my twenty something years. And I mean A LOT. I’m not entirely sure why, because I never, and I mean NEVER win. However, when Grasie Mercedes hosted a giveaway for 8 pairs of Foster Grant sunnies on her blog, I just had to try my luck so I entered and prayed that I’d win.
I had wanted to start a blog for a while now and after reading the Darling Magazine post, Why You Should Start a Blog, Part I on their website, I started to believe that I actually should. I bargained that if I won the contest, then I would.
Well, obviously, I won…
