 Happy Thursday!

Any Taylor Swift fans out there?! Tomorrow, Taylor Swift is dropping her latest album, Lover. Although, I’m not a die heart Swiftie, I enjoy her music and it has been interesting to see her evolve from her country roots, to 1989, Reputation and now Lover. In honor of her new album, I am showing another way to rock your favorite concert t-shirts.

You may recall, last fall, I showed how you can sport a concert shirt in the fall and winter. You can see that post here. Today, we are switching gears for the summer months. 

Last week, I put together this simple but fun-loving outfit. I was hanging out with friends and I wanted to change up my wardrobe a bit. I first started out with the concert t-shirt I got from the Reputation tour last year. 

Taylor Swift is the headliner of the outfit

I wanted to dress the outfit up a bit, therefore, I paired the black and white shirt with a crisp white pair of shorts. I got these a few years back from Marshalls, and I love the high waisted look, not to mention how durable they are. I am going to be retiring them soon with Labor Day approaching. 

Lastly, to complete the look, I wore my gladiator sandals and black hoops and a top knot to complete the outfit. Throw on a pair of aviator sunglasses and you are good to go! 

An outfit good for going out or playing around

Next week, I will be back in classes, so be prepared for all the back to school posts! Enjoy the last few days of summer!

Hi All! I’m officially back to school. I moved back on Tuesday. It was so good to get away last week for some fun and R&R with my family. Although, I am back to school for work that doesn’t mean the cute summer outfit have to stop. I am loving all the colors this outfit has to offer.

Full outfit

For starters, I love these bright pink shorts I got from Marshalls, they are the perfect length, not too long or short. This bright pink is great to wear with a white tee shirt or blouse for a more dressed up shorts outfit. 

I opted for a more casual outfit by pairing my pink shorts with this Simply Southern tee shirt. I love the brand Simply Southern. I have a long sleeve shirt that I wear often in the fall and spring, but this short sleeve top is great in the summer. The front is a plain light blue, but the back has the cutest design, ice cream, summer and happiness are the perfect combination! The light blue and pink are great colors to coordinate.

I decided to wear a pair of sandals with this outfit, but sneakers or wedges would both compliment the outfit well. Although, I am back on campus, I plan on spending time outside and still enjoying the warm weather. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi All! This week I have been taking some time off and relaxing with my family before I move back to school next week. It has been so nice to relax and unwind a bit before it’s back to school and the hectic fall schedule.

One of my favorite things to do when I want to change up my wardrobe is to mix and match outfits. I love using pieces that are worn more formally and make them more casual. 

You may remember a few years back, I wore this outfit.  I really dressed it up with a blouse and heels and wore it to a graduation. Flashforward a few years and I have worn this outfit or variations of it in different ways. 

Did someone say throwback Thursday?!

Today’s look of the day is an example of another way I have worn this outfit. 

Soaking up the last few weeks of summer

I kept the same skirt that I got from Victoria Beckham’s Collection from Target, a few years ago. I still love the bright color and detail as well as the comfort it offers. 

Instead of a dressier blouse, I opted for a simple white tee. I love the simplicity of a white shirt. Gap always carries my favorite white shirts. They are affordable and long lasting, not to mention easy to wash. 

Up close of the outfit details

I was on the go when I wore this outfit so I wore my favorite slip on sneakers with it. I wore these all through Rome, so although they may be from Target, they are long lasting!

My on the go shoes

What else is new with the outfit? I decided to chop my hair before heading back to school, I needed a change and my hair was the best place to start. 

Fresh cut for senior year

I am going to enjoy these last few days of summer before it’s back to school.  Have a great weekend!

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!

Hey guys! How has your summer been? Busy? Restful? Mine is going wayyyy to fast, I need it to slow down. HAHA! I’ve been trying to slow down on nights and during the weekends but it’s easier said than done. Can anyone relate?! Today’s look of the day is another one for the office. The older I get, the more I choose clothes are that used more for the professional setting than casual. Gone are the summer days of shorts and t-shirts. Dress pants and dresses are what I’m rocking nowadays. 

All blue every day

I started today’s look with a pair of dress navy blue pants from The Limited, they are great quality and can be worn in so many settings. You may remember, I wore them this past spring for a few award ceremonies I had. A pair of navy-blue trousers are a must for your wardrobe. 

I opted to wear them with a pair of navy-blue sling back heels I got from T.J. Maxx, what I love about these shoes is that they give you a little bit of height but nothing extreme, you can wear them all day and still be comfortable. 

Lastly, since my pants and shoes were so dark, I decided to add a lighter top to the mix. You may remember this top from Old Navy when I wore it in the winter with dark jeans and knee-high boots. This is light gold top that really dresses up an outfit. I wore it today with a much lighter look. I love shirts that are versatile. ‘

We love an outfit with versatility

That’s another look into what I am wearing. I promise to have more fun outfits for the weekend, but for now, I hope this shows how you can dress both professional while still looking cute!
