Going Gray

Summer is my favorite season, but I love the layering options that fall provides.

Every now and then fall is the perfect temperature, not too cold or windy, where you can get away with wearing a sweater and shorts without tights.

At 57 degrees, today was one of those days.

Not only did I switch up my do, with platinum twists, I decided to go gray with my outfit, and rock neutrals.

Keeping warm with wool shorts and a faux fur vest.

Purse by Zara purchased using the Poshmark app. Vest by Madewell, Steve Madden booties and sweater by Forever 21, also purchased via Poshmark. Short from Gap Outlet.

And a special reminder from Origami Owl this past weekend to live a Fun Fearless Life.

Who knew you didn’t need bright colors to make a bold statement?

#ootd: Back to Work

I have summers off.

It’s pretty glorious.

This past Friday (which would have been my first day back in the office) and Monday I had off to attend a wedding, so today was my first day back in the office.

What does one wear when going to back to work after two months off?

A dress. Obvi.

While this #ootd is very simplistic, I like it because the dress is by eShakti, so I was able customize it!

I got to pick the neckline, the sleeves, and who doesn’t want a dress with pockets?!

AND my necklace was custom made by Oh So Antsy, a very talented friend I made at Alt Summit!

Still can’t believe that my summer is over! Anyone else have the summer off?

#ootd: Sweats

I don’t always dress up.

But even in sweats, I like to make a statement.

If these shoes don’t scream STATEMENT, then I don’t know what does. I saw them and fell.

Hard.

And, yes, they are just as comfy as they are bright!

I almost didn’t get this shirt. It’s a size large. I am not. But I tried it on anyways and loved the fit. It’s perfect for lounging around, or with leggings.

Old Navy Active sneakers, Old Navy tee + sweats from TJ Maxx.

#ootd: Poshmark Finds

My obsession with Poshmark is completely + totally normal.

Just ask anyone that uses the app.

Aside from the fact that it goes along with my personal mission to be more sustainable, I really enjoy the community. I mean even the New York Times knows that the awesomeness of Poshmark is worth mention.

This Zara tux blazer, J. Crew graphic tee, Zara flats, and custom camo clutch (an @ellebee206 exclusive) are all “poshfinds” (short for Poshmark finds, which is literally items that you find on Poshmark).

Check out my Other Stuff page to explore some of my favorite closets on Poshmark!

#ootd: Chambray + Gladiators

Lately, I haven’t been feeling very inspired. So, when the manfriend asked me what I wanted to do (which he does everyday, it’s one of our things…), I said walk around town. Usually, I respond with something outrageous that we could never do, but I figured why not explore Poultney.

(Chambray Dress: Old Navy, Gladiator Sandals: Charlotte Russe (this style is longer available, but you can get similar + even better ones here), Bag: Kelly Moore, Sunglasses: Foster Grant, Nail Wraps: Scratch)

We didn’t do too much, but I did enjoy a strawberry smoothie from Café Pazienza + a Full Belly Deli Pepperjack Bacon Melt (the sandwich that turned me on to sandwiches). And if you know anything about my relationship with the manfriend, you know that movie nights are another one of our things, so we picked up three movies. You don’t have to go all out to have an inspiringly uplifting day.

#ootd: Band Tee + Chucks

This is what happens when you pack in the pitch dark, because your power went out thanks to a storm.

If you’re not sure what I’m getting at by that, let me explain. The shirt was a rescue from the manfriend’s sister’s to be donated pile. I grabbed it since I didn’t have anything else to wear, and cut off the sleeves + just threw it over a basic H&M dress.

The Converses we share. I think they were originally mine (or maybe my little brother’s), but I gave them to her, and she never wears them but when I visit I do sometimes.

Give you one guess where I am…

wake up + social media tank

This past weekend was spectacular! First I got this rad wake up + social media tank…

Second, I got to go to New York with my two best friends, where we went to the first ever BeautyCon NYC!

The manfriend got me a Pro Ticket which included a tote bag filled with goodies (I’ll be sharing about that and all things BeautyCon NYC later) and this tank!

Anyone who didn’t have a Pro ticket (there was also VIP and GA), was able to purchase a shirt for $25. What I found really cool was the fact that I was able to choose which shirt I wanted. Otherwise, I would have left with two shirts because I really liked this tank!

Don’t know what BeautyCon is? Check out their website! Want to hear about my experience? Stay tuned!

denim + denim look

I have have always appreciated the denim on denim look. I wear it often, but never with a skirt. Until now!

I mean, used to rock mini denim skirts on the reg, but stopped when they started to feel like they were no longer age appropriate for me.

Then I found this H&M skirt that is just the right about of mini.

And the details! I’m a huge fan of distressed denim and love to DIY, but it never comes out quite like this…

The second I saw it I knew that I wanted it. It’s just so…ME! Casual yet chic, with just a bit of edge. With my J. Crew chambray button up shirt and Forever 21 ankle boots, perfection! I can’t wait to style this skirt again! What would you wear it with?
