I cannot wait to take these items for a test ride. 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 I cannot speak for you, but new workout clothes motivate me to move!

Age Gracefully in White Jeans

As I approach my third decade in life, I find myself avoiding white jeans more frequently. You can see EVERYTHING through them. The dimples (yep I said it) and all the other stuff you prefer NOT to highlight. But just because our bodies change with age doesn’t mean we have to alter our style. Today is my attempt to teach you how to wear white jeans with confidence! Hear me out. The Cut If you shy away from white jeans for the reasons above, closely consider the cut. For example, I avoid white skinny jeans like the plague. Instead, I gravitate towards: flare, bootcut, or straight leg jeans. The taper at the knee takes tension off of the thighs, leaving you with a smooth upper half. This tassel hem pair is the perfect hybrid of skinny and straight. Length of Top If you’re squeamish at the thought of white pants, the length of your top makes all the difference. Make sure it is long enough to cover your lady parts. I stick with tunics or tops with asymmetrical tail hems. The added back coverage makes me feel more comfortable in my skin (literally and figuratively)! This […]

Navy and White Midi Skirt: 9 to 5 Chic

You already know my thoughts about navy…it’s pretty much the new black. But if you’re new to my blog, you can hear my schpiel here! Anyway, there’s no better time to get in your navy and white than during the summer months. It’s just so nautical. Today is my attempt to teach you how to dress nine to five chic in you guessed it – navy and white! When dressing conservatively for the office, the midi length is always safe! I used to think the midi length couldn’t work for shorties like me, but it turns out I was doing it all wrong. If you’re on the petite side, consider high waisted midi length garments and crop tops. The high waist will automatically lengthen the appearance of your legs. Another quick tip is to stick with dark colors. They have a similar affect. You’ll be surprised how much longer and leaner you look in a navy or black skirt. This outfit is very easy to recreate and if you’re not comfortable bearing your shoulders at work, just wear a blazer. I used to think white shoes were for clowns. Not really, but they can make your […]

Nordstrom Sale Picks: Part Two

Hopefully you watch my Instagram stories because I just wrapped up a try on session. But if you haven’t, hop to it because the clock’s tickin’! Shop my Nordstrom sale picks with your store card before the sale opens to the public Friday the 21st. 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 Click the corresponding number to shop the desired item! Two-Piece Set from TopShop This two-piece set is my favorite and it’s only $64! Co-ords are awesome because they take the thinking out of creating an ensemble. I love pastels when you are least expecting them – like during the fall season. As far as shoes, this look will pair nicely with black booties and a moto jacket. What are you waiting for?! 6 | 4 | 7 | 1 | 5 Camo Cuteness Ok, remember that camo jacket I brought to Bend, OR?! I wear it at least twice a week. Camo is very versatile. Think of it as an alternative to khaki! It looks great with blue or black denim and you can wear it all year round. For […]

Ombre Jeans and Summer Brights

Why spend $200 on a pair of pants when you can spend $35?! In the fashion blogging business it is very unlikely that you’ll wear the same garment more than a handful of times. Luckily I have been a fan of Forever 21 since my teenage years and there is no end in sight. Regardless of the “stigma,” I always find what I am looking for there and I am not ashamed of it! For example, this pair of ombre jeans will get me though the season until I move on to the next trend and I am not suffering from buyer’s remorse. Score! Nine times out of 10 the quality meets my expectations. But there is a smart way to shop from mass produced retailers with an exchange only return policy. To begin, I always glance through the product reviews. After making an initial assessment, I check the model’s measurements. Is she 5′ 10″ and wearing a dress that hits at mid thigh? If so, I’ll DEFINITELY be making a trip to the tailor. I also pay attention to the composition. Does the material stretch? I’m petite but curvier than the average size model. I hardly ever […]
