Gap Ankle Booties for Spring

I’d been saying that I need to replace my brown booties for a while. And lately I’ve been obsessed with Gap (and more specifically the ridiculous sales they’ve been having lately).

These ankle booties were basically a no brainer. As were these jean leggings, which I got for only like five or six bucks!

In other news, I have yet to part ways with my other brown ankle booties. I mean, they’re different. They have more of a heel, and they are a bit taller…

This is my first outfit post (I’ve been trying to do more) since Daylight Saving Time, and the New England temps have basically been borderline spring (SO tempted to wear shorts), so layers had to happen. I don’t have too many transitional season styling tips, but layers are a MUST. Especially, for those spring “hot flash” moments, where you’re um am I hot or am I cold…

I like to think of my style as pretty basic, like chic, but casual. And I even tried to follow the three piece rule. Thoughts?

Big Hair Don’t Care

After getting my Big Hair Don’t Care sweatshirt from Birchbox (because you know, I just had to have it), I may or may not have gotten my hair cut (thank you, Supercuts), and completely forgot to share about it.

The phrase didn’t really seem to apply anymore (sorry, Bow & Drape), but I wanted to rock it while there was still snow on the ground. (Not that this much can go anywhere…)

So, I decided to go ahead, give my newly short hair a little bit of volume, and call it a day.

~~Big~~ Short hair don’t care.

My growing obsession with this sweater has lead me really want the short-sleeved I Need Coffee one, super bad!

Twenty Something Plus x Glossy Queen

One of the easiest ways to stand out is to add a bright pop of color to whatever you’re wearing. I cannot tell you how many people have told me they love my coat, even on the subway in the city where you avoid eye contact at all cost!

Obviously, I am no stranger to making a statement and love to wear things that put me in the limelight.

So, when I was connected with Jennifer of Glossy Queen and discovered her handmade minimalist (but very bold) boho jewelry, I swooned in a major way!

Having started out as a fashion designer prior to designing jewelry, Jennifer is now back in fashion, so you can score new, pre-loved and vintage clothing in addition to her jewelry.

This thread wrapped statement bib necklaces in her Etsy shop is currently on sale and when they all go, they’re gone.

You can also find Glossy Queen on eBay and Poshmark.

The statement bibs are so much fun, that any outfit can become party ready just by adding it. Wearing all black, all white, or a combo of the two? Perfect!

“More style, less stuff.” – Jennifer of Glossy Queen

Glossy Queen has so much in the works and is doing things to change the way we shop.

If that alone doesn’t excite you, then maybe an Instagram giveaway will!

Make sure to follow both Twenty Something Plus and Glossy Queen on Instagram for a chance to win your very own Glossy Queen original piece!

AND if you use the code FREESHIP at checkout on Etsy, then guess what you get… Free shipping!

Hartford Has It + So Do I

Being back in Connecticut, although not my ultimate goal, has presented some pretty great opportunities for me. And not just getting to go to ULTA!

For starters, having grown up, and attended college here, I get to see family and friends from school more often.

After going away and exploring Vermont, I now have a whole new appreciation for the cities in CT.

Yes, even in the freezing rain.

And in heels.

I guess the Vermonter in me is now used to it…

Growning up, Hartford was always just kind of there…
But walking around downtown, I got see what it has to offer. Hartford has it!

Certainly worth checking out.

Seriously.

And as for my outfit, yeah, it’s pretty casual…I’m all about jeans and a t-shirt.

You will probably be seeing this coat A LOT. I love everything about it. It’s warm and cozy, really bright so it stands out, and is just beyond chic!

My clutch was a find on Poshmark, and one side says ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA.

Yes.

Yes, Hartford is.

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…
