Look of the Day #79

Transitioning from fall to winter.

LOTD

Hey guys! Happy Thursday!

I am really excited to share this outfit with you today. I pulled this look together with different things in my closet. I love pulling outfits together and mixing pieces together. I wore this outfit when I was recently home. I was out running errands and I wanted something that was that both cute but also comfortable since I knew I was going to be busy.

Transitioning from fall to winter.

Due to my lighter hair (especially in the summer) emerald green is a color that I love to wear, it compliments my light hair and skin tone. I got this sweater for Christmas a few years ago. It’s from Polo Ralph Lauren. This sweater is so warm and thick. I also love the collar, it’s so unique and really adds to the outfit.Normally, I wear it with jeans, or a skirt, but today since I knew I was going to be out and about, I opted for leggings.

Speaking of leggings, these are my favorite black leggings from GAP. I love GAP’s leggings. They are thick, so they keep my warm and are also long lasting. The green and the black compliment each other well.

Lastly, with cold weather quickly approaching winter boots are a must. I got these Sperry boots from DSW a few years back. They were the best decision. I wear them in transition between the fall and winter and I always wear them in the winter. They are warm and durable. I like the shorter boot since I can wear them with jeans or leggings.

Overall, this outfit was put together with all things found in my closet. I love when I can wear a new outfit and not have to spend a penny on it. Sometimes, it just takes some creativity to put together a new outfit.

What fashion trend are you most looking forward to with winter approaching?

Hi Everyone!

Another week is coming to an end. I don’t know about you but I am so ready for Thanksgiving. It can’t come soon enough. I am ready for some time home to relax, see family, and most importantly, eat some delicious food. It’s crazy to think it’s only a week away. When I think of Thanksgiving, besides food I always think of family and traveling to see family.

I have a double dose of fashion for you today. So, I’m not even kidding when I tell this story. One of my closest friends, Bailey and I showed up to class in the same outfit and didn’t realize it until our professor told us. It wasn’t until he said we both looked like prison guards that we realized we were wearing the same outfit. Don’t believe me? Here’s the picture for proof.

Crazy right?!

I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to break down both of our outfits.

I’ll start with mine first, everything is pretty affordable and classic. I got this black and white striped top from Old Navy, I love stripes and black and white are such neutral colors that can go with any outfit.

I decided to match this striped top with a pair of black leather leggings from Target, I like that they are more durable than regular black leggings, not to mention warmer too!

The weather has been colder and colder, so I wore this long black sweater from Tillys.

I topped my outfit off from my go-to boots for fall, these new ones I got from DSW. Not only are they cute, but also affordable and comfortable. This is a simple outfit but it’s perfect for colder months.

Now, moving onto Bailey’s outfit. She got her dark jeans from American Eagle, another place that I always have luck finding jeans, especially one sale after the season is over.

Her black and white sweater is from Old Navy as well as her puffer vest. What can I say, good friends shop at the same stores!

Lastly, she got these cute high boots from Nordstrom’s. Not only are the stylish but also comfortable.

Whew…there you have it, two look of the days for the price of one. This weekend is going to be a fun one, Bailey and I are heading to the city to get into the holiday spirit with Light Up Night which well be fun and then Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Stay tuned for a post on Tuesday all about our Light Up Night adventure.

Have a great weekend!

Hey guys and Happy Thursday!

I don’t know about you but when I think of November, I automatically think about Thanksgiving and football season. It’s no secret that I am a Steelers fan. I’ve been to a game and I will watch a game when I am home, or I will follow along with their games with social media when I am at school. There is nothing better than eating snacks with your family on a Sunday watching the game. When I was home a few weeks ago, I had the perfect Sunday with football, family, and food.

Today’s outfit is all about how you can dress cute while still supporting your favorite team. For girls, it may be challenging trying to figure out how to dress cute for a game, here’s my suggestion to you, you can wear this outfit tonight when you watch the Steelers vs. the Panthers at 8:20 tonight.

This is my go-to outfit for game days.

Let’s Go Steelers

I got this jersey for my birthday a few years ago. This jersey is special to me for a few reasons, First, James Conner is my favorite player this season and he has had incredible season so far. Second, I met him twice, once for a meet and greet and the second for a work event and I got my jersey signed.

Here we are meeting at a Meet and Greet
And here we are when I met him while working an event for him

Lastly, we are from the same hometown. Small world. Although, jerseys can be pricey, I would recommend getting it in a children’s size if you can. I’m wearing a children’s XL and it fits great.

Some hometown love for James Conner

When you have a big jersey, you can pair with so many options, from jeans to leggings, or even shorts if it’s hot out. I decided to keep it casual at home and just wear leggings.

Wave those towels for a touch down

Lastly, if a jersey isn’t for you, get a terrible towel if you are a Steelers fan, or a hat, or hoodie that shows your team spirit. Fun fact about my terrible towel, the Steelers host their training camp where I go to school at Saint Vincent College, so this terrible towel not only is for the Steelers but also SVC.

Also, I couldn’t help but give a shout-out to my pup, Milton who crashed the photo shoot. He is ready for game day too.

My favorite photo bomber

Whoever you are rooting for this season, be sure to support them in style.

Let’s Go Steelers!

Hello All!

Happy Thursday. We are hours away from the weekend. I hope you have something fun planned for your weekend. I’m looking forward to relaxing and getting ahead on some work this weekend. As much as I love to relax on the weekend I also use the weekend to be productive and work ahead for the upcoming week.

Today’s outfit is perfect is perfect for a day filled with classes and meetings. This past week, I had a few days where I went between class and meetings, I think I had 5 meetings in a day, it was chaotic to say the least, but at the end of the day I felt truly productive. This outfit would be perfect for a day like that. It was both professional but also casual.

Ready for a day on the go

I got these jeggings from Target, they are my favorite, go to jeggings. They are comfortable and casual, perfect for a busy day at school.

These little brown booties. I got mine from Shoe Carnival. I love that I can wear them in fall and winter.

I got this light tan blazer from Talbots, I’ll let you in on a secret, I stole it from my mom’s closet. I love the fit and it is the perfect light jacket for Fall and Spring. I only have a few more weeks to wear this jacket, then it will be time for a darker, heavier jacket.

I decided to have some fun with my shirt for under my jacket. I will admit I have a guilty pleasure for Keeping up with the Kardashian’s. I had the opportunity to go to their New York City store and got a shirt. I love the simplicity of the black shirt with the white writing.

I decided to accessorize with a black choker necklace and some tight French braids for my hair. I needed an outfit that was professional and also comfortable and this outfit did the trick.

What is your go-to for dressing professional? What are your plans for the upcoming weekend?

Halloween Costume 2018

Hello All!

Happy (almost) Halloween!!

No matter what age, I always like celebrating Halloween from the candy to the creative costumes and all the fun fall activities that go along with it. This past weekend was the Halloween dance at my school. It’s a big dance that everyone goes to. I love to see all the fun costumes that people come up with and dance the night away with my friends.

This year I had such a hard time coming up with a costume for Halloween. I had gone through a whole list of suggestions and ideas for what to go as. I finally landed on an idea that was creative and out of the box, or so I thought.

Happy Halloween!!!

I went as someone from a masked ball.

In high school, my junior prom’s theme was masquerade and I got this beautiful, painted mask from Pier One. I loved wearing the masked to my prom and I was looking for an excuse to wear it again. The costume was the perfect opportunity. So, let’s break down my costume.

I got the mask from Pier One a few years ago, I love how detailed it is and how ornate it is as well.

The black dress I wore was an old dress I had from high school. I wore it to one of my high school homecomings as well as a college dance. I love being able to re-wear clothes for different occasions. This was the perfect opportunity to wear this fun party dress again in a different setting,

My shoes are another favorite part of my outfit. I wore them to my senior prom in high school and I was so excited to re-wear them again in college for this dance. My mask has some gold elements in it so I was very happy to add these shoes to my outfit.

I put my own spin on my masked ball costume. I was very happy with how my costume turned out and I had a great time.

If dressing up isn’t your thing then try getting into the Halloween spirit with these creepy movies:

  1. The Sixth Sense

This is about a 3/10 on the Scary scale. It’s about a psychologist who works with his young patient about the ghosts and spirits he sees and how he communicates with them. A classic Halloween movie to get you in the Spooky season.

The Sixth Sense
  1. The Ritual

This is about a 5/10 on the scary scale. This is a newer film through Netflix. It is about four friends who go on a hiking trip in the woods and the scary things that happen to them in the forest, the biggest question-do they all make it out alive??

The Ritual

What are your plans for Halloween? What is your favorite Halloween costume? Have a safe, fun, sweet and happy Halloween!

Happy Thursday, only one more day till the weekend! We can do it. I have a lot of fun things planned for the weekend ahead. For starters, I don’t have to work (yay) and then there is a big Halloween Dance tomorrow which I am very excited for, my costume will be revealed soon. Any guesses yet?

I am so excited to share this fall outfit with you all today! From the colors, to the style and the cut, it describes fall perfectly! Yes, it is a short sleeve dress but the fall weather always changes, some days it is 70’s and sunny and other days it is chilly and in the 40’s this outfit can be worn by itself or a jean jacket or leather jacket can be added to make the outfit warmer. Let’s break the outfit down.

A perfect fall outfit

I got this mustard yellow t-shirt dress from Gap this year. I loved not only the color but how lightweight it is. This makes it so much easier when it comes to layering. This dress would be perfect for the summer and fall. Another great transitional piece of clothing.

I also got this scarf from Gap. I love the small flowers and I also love how it matches the dress perfectly. This scarf can be worn in many different styles, for this dress I thought it looked best this way.

A close up of the boots

My boot socks and boots tie the outfit together perfectly. I love the small buttons on the socks and the dark tan is perfect for fall. The dark brown boots also compliment the socks too. The dark boots also give the outfit a more fall feel.

I can see myself wearing this outfit a lot more this fall season. I could see myself added a jean jacket, leather jacket, tights or even leggings when the weather gets cooler.

What are some of your favorite fall accessories? Do you have any fun Halloween plans this weekend or next week?

Happy Thursday!

It has been a well-paced week after fall break. This weekend will be a busy one for me as I have to work but it’s the last time I have to work weekends this semester. Yay!! It’s the little things in life that bring me bursts of joy. Haha!

Well, we are more than half way through October which means we are fully in the midst of the fall season. Today’s outfit is perfect for a fall walk, a trip to a coffee shop or going to class. It is both cuddly and cozy-two of my favorite fall things. Just give me a cup of hot apple cider and a good book and then I am one happy girl.

Festive for fall

Let’s break down this fall outfit. I love the oversized turtle neck sweater from Gap. I also have a hot pink one too that I love to wear in the fall. You can dress up or dress down this sweater with another outfit. It can be worn with jeans, leggings, or even a pencil skirt for a more formal look.

I paired the black sweater with a pair of floral leggings from Old Navy. I love the gray, black, and tan small flowers. They don’t look like leggings especially with the pattern and the big sweater.

I decided to top this outfit off with a pair of tan and black ballet flats. I love how these shoes tie the whole outfit together. I got these cute ballet flats from Forever 21, I have worn them to work, classes, or out shopping. They are both stylish and comfortable.  The colors tan, gray, and black all scream fall to me to I love wearing them together.

What outfits do you like to wear to bring in the fall season?

Hello All!

Happy Thursday!

Today, is a very good day as tomorrow is fall break. The first half of the semester has been very busy, so I am looking forward to having some much-needed time off. In the midst of midterms and papers, I keep reminiscing about my Ed Sheeran concert last week. One of my favorite souvenirs to get at a concert are the t-shits! They are a good reminder of the event and you can wear them often. When I have gone to concerts in the past and I get t shirts, I really like to make a whole outfit of it not just a regular t-shirt.

Turning a t-shirt into an outfit

Today’s look of the day is dressing up a t-shirt into a cute outfit. The statement piece of this outfit is obviously my Ed Sheeran t-shirt. I opted for the white t-shirt instead of a black one to break up the colors.

Since it is fall and the weather is cooler, I decided to wear a pair of straight cut jeans, yes, the same ones from the concert, they are not only comfortable, but you can dress them or down. I got my jeans from Old Navy.

I added some brown hues to my wardrobe with my boots and jacket. These peep toe brown boots are perfect for fall, especially when the weather is cool in the morning but warm in the afternoon. I got these boots for an affordable price at T.J. Maxx.

Since my concert shirt is short sleeves, I knew a jacket was a must. I wore this brown leather jacket from Francesca’s to finish off my outfit. It not only kept me warm, but it was also stylish.

This was just one way to wear a concert t-shirt. I did go to a few other concerts this past summer, so I will be showing you other ways to wear this look.

I’m off to wrap up my last few classes before it is officially fall break! I am counting down the minutes.

Have a fall-tastic weekend!

Hi All!

Today I am sharing a fun outfit that screams fall. You may recognize as it wore it to my concert to see Ed Sheeran last weekend. I wanted something that is fun and that I could dress up. This outfit was the perfect fit. I am looking forward to wearing this outfit more this fall on many occasions, to class, out to dinner, or on a coffee date. I can’t wait to wear this outfit more. I love wearing this mustard color for fall.

Concert ready

I got these regular cut, straight fit jeans from Old Navy. I love the way they fit and all the different kinds of shoes you can wear them with. You can wear ballet flats, shoe boots, or heels with them. The possibilities are endless, these are my favorite pair of jeans.

Up close of top and jacket

I am loving this fall top. I got this top from GAP at the beginning of this season. The off white and little flowers are perfect details for fall. I also like the fall colors in the top. The sleeves also are so fun and flirty. If you are wearing this night, a light mustard color sweater would be a perfect accessory to go with this outfit. I am wearing a brown leather jacket would be great for a chillier evening like I am wearing here.

Lastly, my brown peep toe shoe boots are my favorite fall heels. I love that they are a great transitional shoe from summer to fall. I got my peep toe boots from T.J. Maxx. Not only are the cute but super affordable.

Another full look of the outfit

This outfit has me in the mood for fall. Bring on the shoe boots, sweaters, jeans, and leather, because fall is calling and I am all here for it.

Have a great weekend!

Hello All!

It’s Thursday! Also known as TGIT!! Anyone else out there looking forward to the return of Grey’s tonight?! I know I am ready for all my fall shows to be back! This has been a busy but productive week! I’m looking forward to a fun weekend with little to no work. It is a well deserved weekend off. I hope you have something fun planned for this weekend!

Now, that it is officially finally fall…I hope the weather continues to cool off. This past week the weather varied from being hot to rainy and cool. I’m ready for some consistent weather. The outfit I am wearing today is perfect for getting ready for the fall weather while it is still warm out.

A mix of summer and fall

I am wearing this light tank top from Old Navy. I also have it in orange and I love to wear them both with shorts, jeans, or leggings like today. I love the contrasting colors between the blue and the black.

I am wearing a pair of black leather leggings. This also have a fun print on them which breaks up the black. I got these leggings from Target. These pants were a great addition to my outfit. Although, it was sunny outside it was only in the high 60’s so I stayed comfortable with these pants.

I matched my pants with these cute dress sneakers. I got them for summer but I have worm them a lot in the fall. As always, Target was my go-to for these fun shoes. They go perfect with jeans, shorts, and leggings…not to mention they are comfortable and stylish. What more could you ask for?!

I can’t wait to bring out my fall wardrobe and wear it full time and not just mix and match outfits. Until then I am going to soak up the last bit of sunshine before the cold weather hits.

Have a great weekend and do something fun!
