Look of the Day #114

LOTD

Hey guys! I can’t believe it is August 1!? Where has the summer gone! This has been a packed full summer for me and I have loved everything I have done so far! I only have a few weeks left of summer before it’s back to school. I am going to make the most of the remaining weeks of summer. 

I am so excited to share today’s outfit with you. I pieced it together with all things I already had in my wardrobe and I loved the end results. If you read my post on Tuesday, you may have caught that red is my favorite color, but I don’t wear a lot of it since it is so bold. I always jump at an opportunity to wear something fun and out of the box. 

I started my outfit out with a white pair of capris. I got my favorite pair from American Eagle and love the cut and style, they can be worn dressed up or dressed down. I personally like to cuff mine at the bottom for a different look.  I am also wearing a Michael Kors belt that I got on sale from Marshalls! I love bringing out the black even more.

Who doesn’t love a pop of red!

Instead of wearing a black silk blouse, I opted for a solid black shirt from Old Navy. I love the fabric and it works better for running around. 

This read blazer ties the whole outfit together. I typically only wear It around Christmas but have been wearing it more with dresses and pants in the spring and summer for a pop of color. 

Lastly, how cute are these shoes?! I love the ruffles and how they can dress up an outfit. I have had these for a few years and love to break them out to change up my wardrobe.

I also accessorized with pearl studs and a pearl ring along with a silver necklace.

Hello All! 

Happy Thursday! This summer has been flying by and I’m trying to hold onto to the summer days as much as I can. 

If you haven’t caught on yet, I have been alternating between fun summer outfits and business casual outfits for looks of the day. Last week, I shared a casual summer outfit and today I have a dress that I know can be worn in so many fashions. 

It’s no secret that I love Marshalls and find some of my favorite pieces there. I have had great luck with finding professional dresses as well as sun dresses. 

This dress is one that I scored recently. I love the cut and style of the sheath dress and the shades of blue complement my skin tone.

I wore it to work with a pair of sandals and I felt comfortable and cute. However, add a pair of heels to dress it up for a dinner party. 

A pair of heels and pearls for a dressed up look

Another suggestion is to swap heels for wedges for a more casual look and add a jean jacket for a cooler night.

This is the perfect summer dress and I’m so glad I got it when I did. I know I will be wearing this dress for years to come.

How are you spending your weekend? Enjoy the last few weeks of summer for they are fleeting!

Hi folks! 

It’s Thursday! One more day till the weekend! I don’t know about you, but I am ready for the weekend. I’m planning on visiting college friends after work on Friday and enjoy a summer fun weekend. The weeks are filled with work, so I am always down for an entertaining weekend. Since, I will be having fun this weekend, I figured it was time for a fun outfit to go with it!

This ensemble was giving me all the nautical vibes, put me on boat and let me sail into the sunset. Hey, a girl can dream!

Let’s break down this look. 

Summer Fun

This pinstripe shirt, is one of my favorite pieces from GAP, it can be layered, worn solo, dressed up or down. I wore it layered here,I wore it to work here,and now I am wearing it dressed down. I love the soft material and the soft blue and white colors. The versatility of this shirt allows you to mix and match outfits without breaking the bank. I’ve tucked the shirt in for more professional looks, but I was going for a more carefree style, so I left it untucked. 

I opted for a pair of high waisted shorts from Marshalls.These are my favorite summer shorts. They don’t wrinkle easy and are a good length, not to short and not too long. I loved the way it let the thin blue stripes pop against the white shorts. 

Close Up of the Outfit

Lastly, I decided to finish off my outfit with a big daisy necklace from Francesca’sand daisy drop earrings also from Francesca’s.I don’t wear this bulky jewelry often, but when I do, I want it to stand out. A pair of sandals from Old Navy, completed my outfit.

This finishes off my look of the day. It’s crazy to think we are heading into August…soak up these next few weeks of summer! Enjoy the weekend!

Hi guys and gals!

We are almost to the weekend. I can’t believe we are already in the middle of July! Summer slow down! After the short week last week with the Fourth of July, I am back into a routine of summer. 

Today’s outfit is one that I’m very excited for! I firmly believe all girls should have a little black dress in the collection. It doesn’t have to be super fancy or flashy, but something simple and elegant, and can be worn for a date night, dressed up look, or office wear. 

Hello Little Black Dress

I got this little black dress from Old Navy on sale, I never would have guessed I would find this there, but I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

I opted for an all black look. I wore a high black heel, not only to make my legs look longer (haha) but also to make the dress more formal. I wear these for formal occasions, and got this pair at Marshalls! 

I then opted for add a monogrammed clutch from Marley Lilly to the ensemble. 

Everyone loves a monogram

The outfit is put together and can be worn to so many places without breaking the bank. As a college student transitioning to young adult life, I believe you can look good and put together without breaking the bank. If you look good, then you will feel good!

Spinning into the weekend

Where’s your favorite place to wear a little black dress?

Hey guys! 

Happy Thursday and more importantly, Happy Fourth of July! Today is such a special day not only to remember those you gave their lives for our country. They paid the ultimate price for our freedom. The Fourth of July is one of my favorite summer holidays. My family and I always throw a big picnic with swimming, grilling, and family. What more could you ask for?! 

If you are still looking for a last minute outfit or some yummy treats to take to your picnic, you can check out this post here. If you are throwing a family picnic, you can check out this post all about planning for your party!

Today’s look of the day is so versatile, you can wear it to a casual Friday at the office, a low-key dinner get together, or even a more dressier picnic. If you have been following my blog for a while, you know how much I love to wear outfits on more than one occasion. 

I love these white capris. Perfect for an early day at work, family barbecues, drinks with the girls, or a day shopping. I got these at American Eagle a few years back and I have gotten so many uses out of them, truly one of the best purchases from American Eagle. 

This blue and white blouse is from Old Navy that I got on sale. I have worn it to work before with dress pants, but I love how it looks dressed down with capris. I may even try a pair of white shorts with it. 

Lastly, these slip-on shoes have been my go-to for the summer. They really add a pop to any outfit you are wearing and they are comfortable. I got this pair at Marshalls. I love all the unique things I find there.

Where would you wear this outfit out to? Work? Date night? Family picnic? Let me know.

Have a wonderful and safe fourth of July!

Always remember…land of the free because of the brave!

Look of the Day #109

Hi guys! It’s Thursday!

This week and month are flying by. I believe it’s been going so fast with how busy I have been. I have been working during the weeks and traveling on the weekends, I’ve been gone for work, visiting friends and seeing family. This summer has been so good so far and I am looking forward to what’s in store for the rest of the summer.

One of my best friends from college is visiting me and I am so excited to show her around my home town and just relax for a few days. I will keep you posted on what we all do next week!

For my next few looks of the days, I will be alternating between business casual looks and more summer chic looks. Today I have a summer chic look for you. I put together this look for my trip to Chicago a few weeks back and I loved it so much that I knew I had to share.

Perfect for sightseeing

Let’s first start with these shorts. I got them from Old Navy. How cute are the blue and white checkers?! I love how effortless they look but can really pull together an entire outfit!

Since I wore this while sightseeing, I opted for a white t shirt from Old Navy, but I plan on pairing these shorts with a white blouse. This top is what I wore for my birthday celebrations in Pittsburgh. It can be worn to dress up a pair of jeans like I did or worn with a pair of shorts like you could also do with this outfit. 

How cute is this top?

A jean jacket is a must for my wardrobe and my navy blue one has gotten a lot of use. I got a white jean jacket to break up my go to colors. I have been loving this jean jacket. I wore it with a black and white romper when I was out with friends, I have worn it with leggings when I went to get ice cream one night and I have worn it with a few sundresses. I know this will be a summer favorite for me. 

I wore a pair of slip on sneakers from Target, they were comfortable for walking around in the city but in the future, I could see myself wearing sandals with this outfit!

Overall, this was the perfect outfit for a day of sightseeing and being out and about and something I would definitely wear again especially when traveling! 

Have a great weekend!

Hi All! It’s Thursday, one more day until the weekend!!! We almost made it. What fun things do you have planned for the weekend ahead? I hope it’s filled with relaxing and time spent doing something fun, it is summer after all!

I’m changing up today’s look of the day. The past few weeks have been filled with lots of business casual clothes, but I do have a few cute summer outfits for the weekends and evenings. 

I went shopping last week and put together this outfit featuring different shades of blue. The weather was in the 70’s but overcast and this outfit did the trick for the different weather. 

All blue everywhere

I opted for a pair of jeans with the ankles cuffed for more of a summer look. I wanted to wear denim, but I didn’t want a full leg of jeans, therefore I cuffed them, and they worked perfect! My jeans are from my go-to place for jeans, Old Navy!

 I decided to wear this light-almost sky-blue t-shirt from Gap. I love how the top made the jeans feel lighter. Since this is a short sleeve top, I threw on a navy-blue sweater to tie in the two shades of blue. I got this light sweater from Target a few years back. It’s perfect for those cool mornings or evenings. 

Since I have three different blues being worn here, I wanted to have an accessory that tied them all together…enter this scarf/bandana/headband. I got it from Old Navy at the beginning of the season. You may recognize the pattern from my dress I wore for Easter.

I love how it ties the whole outfit together, you can wear this accessory as a scarf, tie it to your purse, or wear it like a headband. I opted for the headband look and was so happy with how it turned out. 

I decided to wear a simple pair of sandals to accessorize my outfit.

Lastly, I’m using my Longchamp bag to hold everything I need when I am out and about. This is my go-to purse for everyday use. It is big, holds everything I need and is durable. Although pricey, I think it’s totally worth it.

Strolling into summer

That’s a look into what I am wearing a bit of a break from the professional clothes and it shows different outfits you can wear in the summer. 

Have a fabulous weekend!

Hi All! 

It’s Thursday and finally June! Today also happens to be two of my closets friend’s birthdays, my first and only roomie from college, Danielle, and my best friend from high school Madeline are both turning 21! I can’t wait to celebrate with both of them soon. I seriously don’t know where I would be without these gals and their unconditional love and friendship!

  • Danielle and I at college
  • My sweet friend Madeline

This weekend I am also going to be travelling to Pittsburgh to celebrate my birthday with all my college friends! I can’t wait!!! But before, I head out for the weekend, I have a few more days of work ahead of me. Today’s look of the day is another business casual look for the office. I spend 90% of my day in the office so I am always putting together professional outfits and today is no different. 

Let’s break down this professional look of the day!

For starters, I got these straight legged black dress pants from Old Navy, I was on the hunt for months for a nice dress pant that didn’t look like leggings, although I do wear leggings, the workplace is not the place for them. These dress pants are straight legged, professional, durable, all qualities I am looking for in a dress pant.

I opted for a simple pair of Mary Jane pumps from the Kelly and Katie collection at DSW. They do have a slight heel but very professional for the office, and VERY comfortable. I can wear them for 8-10 hours a day and have no serious pain.

Since I wore black dress pants and black shoes, I wanted to brighten up my look, I chose this pink/white/black blouse from Marshalls to wear with my outfit. It looks professional but also adds a pop of color!

A black blazer or white or black sweater would also be a great accessory. I added simple silver jewelry to polish off my look.

That’s a look into what I am wearing today at the office. I’m off to wrap up these few days at work before my weekend away begins! See you all on Tuesday!

Hi friends! Happy Thursday!

Yesterday, I got a bit of a break to celebrate my 21stbirthday, but today it’s back to work and back to the daily grind! I have another outfit that is perfect for the workplace! I work in an office during the summer, so I am all about business casual outfits and outfits that are professional for the office. 

Cheesing because the sun is finally shining

Today’s outfit is more on the comfortable side of things, but still professional. Growing up, I wore khakis a lot, especially for school, hello uniform! When I went to college, khakis and I needed to take a break from each other, haha! However, khakis are coming back for outfits in the workplace. I got these khakis from Target, believe it or not. I had to borrow a pair of khakis from one of my friends when I was at school and I loved them so much, I bought a pair for myself. I don’t wear them every day, but they are durable, and everyone should have a pair in their wardrobe.

On this particular day that I wore this outfit, I had to run errands, so I opted for a cotton knit striped shirt from GAP as opposed to a blouse, I did however, have a cardigan since it can get chilly at work. 

I rounded off my outfit with my suede pumps from Shoe Carnival, I know, it’s May and they should be put away but it’s still chilly outside and I’m not ready to break out open toe shoes yet every day! Haha!

More than ready for summer!

That’s the full breakdown for this outfit, very simple and affordable. Most importantly, it can be worn in various jobs, whether you are teacher, working in an office or another place of business. Where would you wear this outfit? Have a beautiful weekend! Get off the computer and get outside!

Look of the Day #104

Hello All!

It’s Thursday, almost to the weekend. This week has been busy getting into a new summer routine, but the weather has been gorgeous and it’s starting to finally feel like summer. I’m looking forward to weekends spent outside and relaxing. This three day weekend will be the perfect time to kick off summer!

Today’s look of the day is perfect for a day at work. As much as I love neutral colors, I will never say no to a bold pop of color and that’s exactly what this outfit is all about. Everything from this outfit are all articles of clothing that I have had in my closet and paired them all together to create this look. 

This is one of my favorite t-shirt dresses for spring and summer, I got it from Marshall’s and I have talked about it a lot on here. I love being able to dress it up or down depending on the function. I decided to dress it up for work with this red blazer.

 I have had this red blazer for a few years and I wish I could tell you where I got it from, but I honestly forget. I typically wear it in the winter months, I have worn this jacket with black dress pants or a little black dress. I had never thought to wear it in the spring but it worked so well. I love how it really pops against the black and white stripes. 

I also decided to use a cherry red lipstick to complement the jacket. I don’t typically do a bold lip, but I felt it worked well with this outfit. 

Also, another favorite accessory is this new necklace…any Sex and the City fans out there?! We all know Carrie isn’t Carrie without her necklace. I found a website that you can get your own personalized Carrie necklaces and I love it. It reminds me of the strong and independent woman Carrie is and how we all should remember our worth.

Got my own Carrie necklace

Lastly, I wore this dress sneakers to finish off the outfit. I got mine from Target, but they were very popular last year and I have seen them on display at many places so far this season. 

I love how this outfit came together, yes it took some extra time to match it all together, but I love the end result. I know I will be wearing this outfit again this season. 

What is your favorite bold color to add to an outfit? 

Have a wonderful and restful three day weekend!
