Quick Picks

Do you all have favorites in your wardrobe you just keep grabbing over and over again?

I definitely do!  

Blazer:  New York & Company (Similar here)
Blouse:  Target (old)

Purse:  Express (Similar here)Ring:  Vintage (gift) (Similar here)
Lately for me, it has been skinny pants (especially black) and this blazer with faux leather sleeves and pocket detail.
Pants:  The Limited (Available here)
Heels: Target (old)
Necklace:  Target (old)
Today, I was in a rush to get ready.  When that happens, I am most likely to pick familiar favorites.

I paired the pants and blazer with a trapeze-style Peter Pan blouse for an easy and comfortable look that also made me feel chic.


Hope you all had a fabulous day!!

Christmas Sparkle

Happy Holidays, everyone! 

Today, I wore one of my favorite looks. 

Blouse:  Gap (old) (Similar here and here)
Blazer:  The Limited (old) (Similar here)
Pants:  The Limited (Available here)
Shoes:  Target (old)
This sequin top has multi-color metallic sequins, which makes it really versatile.  

Paired with the champagne blazer, the sequins on this blouse remind me of champagne bubbles.  The look feels super festive, and with a great clutch, would be great for a New Year's Eve out with friends.
Satchel:  The Limited (Available here)
Earrings:  The Limited (Similar here)
Rings:  New York & Company
Do you have any exciting plans for New Year's Eve?  What do you plan on wearing?

Fashion Repeat

Hey everyone!

I'm back after a short hiatus!  I had a major family emergency, which made fashion seem rather unimportant.  As much as I love clothing and having fun with style, I was reminded this week how important it is to put things like fashion into perspective.

Today, I opted for familiar favorites.  This blog is all about real-world style - which means that clothing gets repeated, sometimes often.  

Writing this blog has created a little self-induced pressure to continually come up with new ideas and new looks, but the reality is that most of us have certain looks that we like to wear over and over.  Those are great outfits for those frantic mornings and "I have nothing to wear" days!
Blazer:  The Limited (Similar here)
Blouse:  Old Navy
I love my tuxedo blazer, but I struggle with creative new ways to style it.  The champagne color can be difficult to mix with other colors, so I usually opt for pieces in black and champagne to pair it with.
Pants:  The Limited (Similar here)
Shoes:  Target (Available here)
I added green pumps and my jade ring to add in a bit of color.  I liked the green color with champagne which makes me think that I should add a blouse or dress in that shade to my shopping list.
Purse:  Express (Sold out online, see here)
Ring:  Vintage (gift)
Earrings:  The Limited (Similar here)
Do you make shopping lists based off what you already have in your wardrobe, or do you shop more on impulse?
