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?

A Week Plus: Yellow Skirt
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!
“Support a cause, Support your legs”
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!

A Week Plus: Bold Dress
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?
The Poshmark App
If you’re anything like me, then you have a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear.
I have a small closet, so I have a massive overflow and I don’t even wear all of it!
I came across an article this summer in a magazine (I can’t for the life of me remember which one, but if I do I’ll make sure to update!) about closet clutter and how to reduce it, one suggestion was the app Poshmark. I signed up and found that not only could I make money while getting rid of clothes that I wasn’t wearing, but I could also buy things second hand, in great condition, and at a fraction of the retail cost! I didn’t know what to do with myself…so many great features! While there are some minor draw backs as with anything (think eBay) it really is a great community to be apart of and is so worth checking out!
So far I’ve made over $500 and I haven’t even been signed up for a year!
If you do sign up* or already have a Poshmark closet, follow my closet and let me know so I can follow yours.
*The app is free and get a $5 credit with the code: HVIMR
A Week Plus: Green for Good Luck!
In the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day…
Will you be sporting green on Monday?
DIY: Sequin Sweatshirt
I am forever finding projects on Pinterest that I want to do, but don’t really ever get around to actually doing them. So when I saw the sequin sweatshirt diy on A Beautiful Mess, I didn’t think I’d do it, but I wanted to.
Durning my trip to Old Navy, I bought a sweatshirt similar to the Forever 21 top that was used on A Beautiful Mess. I love F21, but I live in Vermont and there isn’t one in the state. Nor is there a Target. Google it.
Because my sweatshirt was dark gray I had to use a white paint pen instead of a marker so I could see what I was doing, but other than that I just followed their steps and hoped for not the worst…
I am really impressed with how it came out. And don’t worry, I crossed the T before sewing it.
I love it and I feel super accomplished!
A Week Plus: White Tee
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?
A Week Plus: Leopard Heels
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!
Grasie Mercedes X Foster Grant
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…
