FALL FASHION POST! HOW TO LOOK GOOD, BE COMFORTABLE, AND NOT BREAK THE BANK!

September 14, 2016 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

We are starting to slowly but surely starting to get chillier days here in the midwest, and that means that I’ve started wearing some of my favorite fall pieces again. I love clothes and I love fashion, but I’m also very realistic about my fashion choices because I am a mom of little kids and whatever I wear on a daily basis needs to withstand a lot! I need a wardrobe that is fashionable, affordable, and comfortable *without* looking frumpy! Whether you’re a mom like me who needs clothes that can go from the store to the park and maybe, just maybe, out to eat, or you’re just settling into your career and you haven’t quite made it to your dream clothing budget I want to share my favorite places to buy clothes!

 

HOW I SHOP:

I like to have a mix of high quality never-go-out-of-style pieces and trendy pieces. My style is classic and I love girly details. I like to throw in more trendy and edgy pieces that I’m drawn to, but I don’t wear every trend that comes down the runway. I often mix and match high end things, and very budget friendly things. I think that if you truly only buy pieces that you LOVE, you can make a $20 pair of boots look like a $200 pair and you can feel like a million dollars without going into debt. I try to buy things that are easy to wash at home and that I am comfortable wearing, but I definitely like dressier things for the rare occasions that I do get to go all-out. And, I would always rather be slightly “overdressed” than underdressed.

WHERE I SHOP:

Basics:

Target

Nordstrom

Classic:

H&M

J. Crew Factory

J. Crew

Trendy:

Forever 21

Dottie Couture Boutique

Boots:

Just Fab

Target

Dresses:

Forever 21

Lulu’s

Express

NEED A LITTLE INSPIRATION?:

I post outfits on my Instagram account and if you tap the picture once I always link all of the outfit details! If you tap the picture twice you “love” the picture and that makes me happy, too ; )

Meet My Newest Obsession: Preppy Pink Shop and See My Christmas Eve Outfit!

December 3, 2014 & 2 Comments

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!!

Last Christmas I wore a skirt from Preppy Pink Shop and I loved it so much that I knew I wanted to wear another one this year. I had a whole year to swoon over the skirts on the Preppy Pink Shop Instagram and resisted ordering skirts all summer long since I was pregnant. As most of you know, I’m still pregnant, and now I’m VERY pregnant, but I decided to email Justice, the owner of Preppy Pink Shop, and ask about a custom maternity skirt for Christmas. Justice responded quickly, was super friendly and wonderful to work with! Her custom service was fab and I will be ordering from her often in the future! I am obsessed!

ABOUT PREPPY PINK SHOP:

Justice makes beautiful handmade skirts, but also has headbands, bows, scarves, keyfobs, belts, clutches, and jewelry. Everything on the website is ADORABLE, and I think the price range is awesome because it’s all reasonable and there are budget-friendly options. You can order both on the Preppy Pink Shop Etsy Store or off the Preppy Pink Shop site. And if you aren’t following her Instagram, do so immediately! You can also follow her on Twitter and Facebook...seriously, who wants to limit themselves when it comes to this eye candy?!

THE SKIRT:

A gold brocade with a removable red bow custom made fully lined skirt to fit over the basketball I’m smuggling!
