Pom-Pom Sweater Trend

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I have been seeing the pom-pom sweater tread on Instagram for the past year and I finally jumped on the bandwagon after I had a Just Fab credit that I wanted to use.

Pom-Pom Sweater by Just Fab

I am a big fan of shoes (boots especially) from Just Fab but this is the first time ordering any clothing and I was pretty nervous. I purchase affordable, but if the quality isn’t there or it looks and feels cheap, I won’t wear it. I have been pleasantly surprised by the quality! I will now be sure to check out the clothing when I have a Just Fab credit (I usually am good about skipping the months, but I forget about twice a year). The sweater I got is sold out but I found a lot of similar ones that I will link.

Nadine West Unboxing | Affordable Outfit Subscription Box

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Have you ever wondered how a clothing subscription box works? Nadine West offers an affordable style subscription service.

Before we dig in, a little housekeeping, I now offer social media coaching as well as social media management.

I have shared my outfits from Nadine West for two years now on my blog (read the posts here). Nadine West sent me this box for my consideration for review but I was not paid to write this post and as always all opinions are my own.

What is Nadine West?

NadineWest.com is a company that sends you an outfit to try on and you keep only what you love. The outfit is a surprise, but you take a style quiz and the stylists get to know your style more each month. The outfits are affordable with pieces costing about $10-$30 each, which is very affordable compared to other similar services.

How Does Nadine West Work? 

On the Nadine West website, you take the style quiz so that the stylist can get to know what you are looking for in an outfit. You will receive a pink package in the mail with your personalized outfit. Try on the outfit and keep what you love and send back what you don’t.

My Thoughts On Nadine West 

The style quiz was super easy to do, which was great because I wanted something that didn’t take too much time but I was still able to make notes to make sure the stylist knew my preferences. I really loved the surprise aspect of this, and it was like opening up a girly gift from a really stylish friend. I cannot stand having to return things, it is such a bummer, but I LOVE the way this company does it because your outfit comes with return shipping.

Nadine West Unboxing

I know that the crisscross style on the top of shirts and dresses is popular, but it just isn’t for me. I think they often look great on others, but it isn’t a look I like on myself. I also don’t like cold shoulder tops anymore. So, because of that, three of the items I got in my box were immediately no-gos for me. I will say that I really love the colors of these tops and Nadine West has done a great job listening to me lately and giving me neutral colors that I love. I got a pair of thick dress pant style leggings that I love because I will be able to wear them when I want to wear leggings but still look a bit more dressy or put together. I got a pair of gold circle stud earrings that aren’t shown, but I love them because stud earrings are my everyday jewelry uniform.

Nadine West Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Most months I get a few things that I love, but I do wish that there was a simple form to update style preferences or check-in each month to see what I’d like to find in my box. I hope that I will continue to get neutral pieces that fit my style and delicate jewelry that works with my sense of style. I would love to see some simple, neutral-colored maxi dresses for spring, too. I would rather receive two or three nicer items than a lot of pieces that aren’t as nice of quality.

Have a wonderful rest of your week! Thank you for reading! xx

THE BEST WINTER COAT FOR $60! | Women’s Artic Parker – Universal Threads Target

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I think sometimes my most used products and my most functional items don’t get the love they deserve on here. A coat that I bought this season and is still available online needs to be brought to your attention because it’s the cost per wear has already gone below $1.

Women’s Artic Parker – Universal Threads Target

I was at Target with my mom in October, tried this on, and we both LOVED it, but because we already had a cart full of stuff I put it back. I couldn’t stop thinking about it and neither could my mom, so she went and found it at her local Target (she really is the best!). I love this jacket because of the long line (it fully covers my bum and I am 5’7) and it isn’t bulky but still keeps me warm on most midwest winter days. I do still reach for my North Face Parka when it’s below zero, but typical errands, outdoors for shorter periods of time when it’s 50-15 degrees Fahrenheit. The waist can be sinched in, which is nice, though I don’t find myself using that often. I LOVE the deep pockets, they’re functional to keep my hands warm, and easily hold a small wallet, keys, my phone, gloves, and whatever other random things my Little Loves hand me. The hood is removable and has a pretty faux fur trim and incredibly soft brown fuzzy lining in the hood. The coat has over 80 reviews, almost all of them 5 Stars and is also available in Gray, Black, and Olive. I would guess that over the past 90 days I have worn this jacket 75 of those days. It is so good!

HOW-TO STYLE BARRETTES 2020

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I might be alone here, but I don’t think so…let me know if this sounds familiar: I walk through the aisles of Ulta and my heart swells and internally (annnnd sometimes audibly) squeal when I look at all the beautiful hair accessories! Pearls, rhinestones, and bows, OH MY! So, sometimes I’ll buy them, but then find that I’m rarely reaching for them because “How the heck do I style these?” Anyone else? Well, today I am going to share with you the easiest way to wear barrettes, and the best part is you can do it with smaller, more delicate barrettes like the one I show today, OR the giant, blinged-out barrettes that are also popular right now.

Psssssst! Read my other hair accessories posts here!

How-To Style Barrettes in 2020

Do an extreme side part (I like using a comb similar to this which I shared in this post) and then put the barrette about 1 inch above the top of your ear. EASY! I like doing this when my hair is curled OR straight.

Nadine West Unboxing

I was underwhelmed when I first dug into my box, but I ended up finding some incredible basics that I really love. I have been conscious over the past couple of years to buy things that are neutral and fit into my capsule wardrobe, so these basics will get a lot of use. I got a stunning gold chain necklace with a simple pearl that is very much my style, and I adore how delicate it is. A pair of linen material ankle pants with a tie waist will be used a lot in the spring and summer, and I love the way they look with a tee and a pair of loafers or sneakers. I also got a pair of black and white plaid pants, and they are the most comfortable, legging-like, buttery soft pant, but they’re dressy! WIN! I got a tee shirt dress with pockets in a rust color that will be so comfortable in the summer with a pair of white sneakers. I also got a simple burgundy v neck tee that I love for this time of year. I am such a black, brown, tan, gray, white, cream, navy…a.k.a neutral-toned gal, but I will wear some colors if they’re solids ; )

Nadine West Unboxing

This box wasn’t a big success for me and I ended up with a majority of items that I will either be passing along or returning. That said, the two items I am keeping are BIG wins that I wore within the first few days of getting them, and I know they’ll be pieces I reach for over and over this winter. I got a sage green oversized thermal top that is buttery soft and perfect for the snowy, cold season that I’ll be experiencing until Mother’s Day. I also got a sweater that is the perfect Christmas and Valentine’s Day red, and the blue-toned hue works well with my skin tone.

Nadine West Unboxing

This month was a bit of a toss-up for me. I received two pairs of pants that I don’t like, and the jewelry wasn’t my style this month. However, I LOVE the tops that I got! The stretchy olive shirt is a great basic piece in a color that I love. It is also longer, which is nice because it will work well with leggings on casual days. I wasn’t sure that I would like the black and gray striped shirt with the brown suede elbow pads, but I love it! It’s a great neutral and the elbow pads make it fun. The red sweater is a little shorter than the average sweater, hitting just above the hip, and I like it a lot for wearing with high-rise jeans. A red sweater like this is a go-to for me when I am attending holiday concerts, events, parties, or just a fun evening out during the festive season.

Nadine West Unboxing

This was a month where I did receive quite a few pieces that I didn’t like, but thankfully Nadine West has a good return process and policy. I am picky about jewelry, I really only like delicate pieces and stud earrings. I also like solid, neutral colors. I only got three pieces that I chose to keep, but they’re GREAT pieces. I am in love with the navy blouse that I got, it has three fabric colored buttons in the front and a white tie at the neck. I love this because for work events or meetings I like to dress “Snappy Casual” as we said in my sorority days, or smart casual as it’s more commonly known to the masses. I also received a pair of wide leg culotte pants that have a ruched high waist that is really flattering, and of course I would be amiss if I didn’t rave about the fact that THEY HAVE POCKETS! They hit me right at the widest part of my calf, and because of this I think they look best with a heel. I like these because they’re another great neutral I can dress up or down. The third item is an extremely fitted gray shirt, and it’s the type of shirt that is almost too tight, but for some reason this one is stretchy enough that it’s comfortable and I think it’ll be wonderful this fall and winter under cardigans and sweaters when I really want to layer up.

Most months I get a few things that I love, but I do wish that there was a simple form to update style preferences or check-in each month to see what I’d like to find in my box.

I got a few GREAT pieces this month! My absolute favorite item is a maroon button-front vest that ties at the bottom. I wore it the day after I got it for a family event and again a few days later for an Oktoberfest celebration. I also received a great basic black and white striped shirt and a gorgeous olive dress shirt that is going to look incredible at some upcoming conferences I have coming up for work.

Nadine West Unboxing

This is my favorite Nadine West box EVER! I got a few things I didn’t like, but I got a beautiful off-the-shoulder white top with black stripes, which I love because I am a neutral girl! I do not like cold-shoulder tops anymore, but I do love off-the-shoulder. I was pleasantly surprised with the plaid shirt the buttons in the back and has ruffles because I love it on! I think it will be super cute for work conferences and am happy I got it. The striped high-neck tank I wasn’t wowed by but ended up loving it on. And this black dress?! It is stunning! I can’t believe it! I wouldn’t have picked it out, but now I want an excuse to wear it.
