Hello all! 

Happy New Year!! 

I hope you all had a wonderful New Year's and are looking forward to this brand new year! I know I am! The start of the new year always seems quiet to me. I guess because it comes after a month (and sometimes more than that) of festivities and especially New Year's Eve. They are fun and I enjoyed them very much, its just not until they are over that I sit back, take a deep breath, and think 'wow its really quiet!' This is also nice, a welcomed change. It gives you time to think, and breathe, and rest. 

For me, I am going full steam ahead with another year of blogging! Starting with a great sweater that you can wear many ways, but for today I am just showing you these two pairings. 

I got this sweater.... gosh.. years ago, I can't even remember. But I have loved it and it has held up very well over the years! It has a looser, off-the-shoulder design to it (although clearly I opted not to wear it that way). That design is great post holidays where I know I am feeling a little fuller. Okay...ALOT fuller :x 

These two pairings are pretty easy to pull off.  The first pairing; the sweater with a pencil skirt, is a little more business casual. The structure the skirt brings combined with the more abstract draping sweater, creates a great look overall! Of course I threw in a pop of red to anchor the look! 

The second look -the sweater paired with boyfriend jeans and booties- is another easy look to pull off. Its also super comfortable! I have created several similar pairings that have saved me plenty of times over the holiday season when I am feeling... uh... fuller! 

I hope you enjoyed this post today and I cannot wait to share more with you this year! 

Thanks for reading!

Hello and Happy Friday!!

This is my last post of 2017! 

I always get so sentimental this time of year. Its a celebration on the one hand, closing out another year and bringing in a new one; a brand new, fresh start. Nothing really technically changes, and yet it kind of does. At least to me. The new year has so much potential and hope -that is what I love about it. 

For today's look I paired two very feminine pieces together. This look has a more laid back feel to it, in my opinion. After the holidays and getting really dressed up, I was ready for something easy. Before you label me as nuts for wearing the mini in these super cold temps we have been experiencing, I took these pics earlier -when it was a lot warmer! I knew the holidays would limit my blogging time so, one afternoon I got a few different looks I could use for posts.

Thank you so much for reading and I hope you all have a wonderful and safe New Years! 

See you in 2018!!

Thank you for your support, it means so much to me!!

Hello all! 

Happy Thursday!

I know, weird day for a post right? But I have been so busy this week. I will get to the fashion, but first I want to note on what a great month it has been. In the past I haven't been a big Christmas person, a lot had to do with my relationship at the time. Long story that I won't get into today. But since we parted -probably best for both of us- I have gotten more and more into Christmas. I've gotten to appreciate decorations and the music -well most of it. Last Friday my friend, Vicki -Designerdiva1103- went to Christmas Town down by Southpark and got into the holiday spirit with holiday music and elves and enjoying others enjoying the night. It was great! 

Now, on to the fashion! Today's look is a little more simplified. The Sperrys have saved me many a time! They are comfy and casual and easily to style. For today's look I paired them with skinny jeans and a jacket and a bright, bold accessory -a scarf! And not just any scarf, a mammoth scarf! Seriously! I got this scarf a while ago, gosh... maybe at Forever21?  Honestly I don't remember. But it is soft, warm, cozy, and a great color! Plus it has served as a shawl at times and a blanket at times! Its wonderful! 

This is a great casual look for anytime really! I hope you like it! And I hope you are having a great holiday season! 

XOXO

Happy Friday!! 

Today's post may seem like I repeated a look -which I kind of did! I have paired this same velvet top and distressed boyfriend jeans -both from Old Navy- before in a previous post. 

But the stand out piece for this particular post is the sweater. Two weeks ago I was about to attend a fashion show kind of last minuet and began looking around for a great dress to wear. While I didn't end up coming home with a new dress, I did come home with this gorgeous sweater from Vestique Boutique in Blakney -for those of you in the Charlotte area. 

It has easily become one of my favorite pieces! Its chic and cozy, perfect for the crazy Charlotte weather! 
With the holidays quickly approaching, there are a lot of great sales going on! Old Navy is 60% off the entire store! (I'll probably be heading there in the near future!) ;) 

Check it out and happy shopping! 

Thanks for reading!

Hey everyone! 

Happy Monday!

It has been really cold here lately! I guess... it is December.. its time for it to be really cold! ;) We even got a few flakes here in the QC! Nothing compared to what other states are experiencing, in fact it was more just sleet. When I took these pictures, it had been raining all morning with no sign of letting up. I was not entirely sure if I would get any taken. 

It finally let up enough that I braved the rain/sleet and got a few pictures taken. 

This outfit is a bit simple honestly. But never underestimate the power of a plaid coat! I fully believe that bold pieces like coats can really elevate a look. The rest of the look is made up of a sweatshirt -from Shein.com,- skinny jeans, and faux suede booties -from Francesca's. 

It is very warm and comfy for these cold December mornings! 

Thank you so much for reading!

Happy Monday!! 

To kick off this week, I am going with a more complex look. Its fun, and I had fun putting it together. Once I got the velvet tank top, one of my first ideas was to pair it with lace. It is perfect contrast! My eye just happened to glance up at the pleather skirt. 

I put a lot of thought into all of my looks and posts. Most of the time I pull inspiration from other bloggers or Instagram posts, and try to put a unique touch to it. But there are a handful of posts that I really enjoy because I felt like it is completely me. Usually these posts are exciting and incredibly nerve wrecking at the same time. But I thoroughly believe in having fun with fashion. If you feel confident in what you are wearing, you will feel good. 

Thank you so much for reading and following!
