THE BEST AFFORDABLE OPEN-FRONT CARDIGAN | LESS THAN $20!!

October 22, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Another weekend gone in a blink! This week my calendar is filled with Halloween related activities with my Little Loves and Big Love which is so much fun, but also a reminder of how quickly this fall is flying by! Do you have any fun Halloween plans? Do you dress up? I am trying to decide if I will dress up this year, and those adult-sized onesie costumes are looking more and more appealing for my Netflix-and-Wine mom lifestyle.

I am a huge fan of adding layers to take clothes tossed on the body into an outfit, and one of my favorite ways to do this is by wearing open-front cardigans. I use “The Rule of Threes” which means that a shirt and pants is just that but if you add an amazing scarf, pair of shoes, or jacket it becomes an outfit. Well, this past week I was browsing greeting cards at the local Walmart and saw this Time and Tru Double Knit Cardigan that I MUST share with you!

 

I couldn’t believe how classic this cardigan looked and then when I went closer I couldn’t believe how high-quality the fabric looked and felt. It’s a cotton, acrylic, and polyester blend but it truly minics a sweater with some wool in it. The two-tone look of it elevates it in a way that makes it look more luxurious and high-end. It fits beautifully (I purchased a size small and it’s true-to size for me) with a slightly relaxed fit and a duster sweater length. I like that I can roll up the sleeves, push up the sleeves, or wear the sleeves at full length. This sweater cardigan can be machine washed on the wool/delicate cycle and can be tumble dried, though I will hang it to dry as I do with all of my sweaters. Also, it is $19.96! AMAZING!

I am BEYOND impressed with this and plan to grab it in gray, too!

Have you ever checked out the clothing at Walmart? I’ll be honest, I don’t often, but this beauty might make me take a peek from time to time! Have a wonderful week! xx

DIY LACE SHIRT | EASY WARDROBE UPDATES FOR FALL

August 8, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

How is your week going? Let us know one thing in the comments that you are looking forward to right now! I’ll start, I am looking forward to autumn because thinking of donuts, cider (the real kind) and cute fall clothes makes me feel cozy and safe. Today I want to share a simple DIY that I recently attempted where I added lace to a plain v-neck white shirt to make it look like a lacy bralet peaking out. I love this look because you can toss a denim jacket or a flannel over it for an effortlessly cute fall look. You can see other wardrobe update DIY projects I have done in the past here.

 

 

What You’ll Need

 

 

  • A white v-neck t-shirt of your choice (I found one on clearance at Walmart!)
  • A needle and white or black thread
  • Black lace ribbon that is about an inch thick
  • Scissors

Directions

First, you need to cut the lace so that it is just a tad longer than the length of the neckline. Then, starting at the shoulder, I sewed the lace into the shirt. I will be honest if a seamstress saw my needlework or lack of? They’d probably have some *suggestions*! But, I was careful not to have any of the sloppy stitches be on the visible neckline of the shirt, so you’d only see my amateur sewing skills if you were doing my laundry and if you want to do that, feel free ; )

What do you think? Will you try this DIY? I love mine, but I want to make another one with a lower cut v-neck and a different lace ribbon to have more options! Have a fantastic weekend! xx

NADINE WEST SUBSCRIPTION REVIEW | CLOTHING SUBSCRIPTION BOX

June 20, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope that you are having a great week : ) I have shared my outfits from Nadine West before on my blog (read the posts here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here) and I have been wearing some items from my last several boxes a lot lately, so I was so excited to receive a new box in the mail from them. 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 It 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

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.

Discount Code

Use the referral code “Nadine” on NadineWest.com (not an affiliate code for me, just sharing the one they currently have on their website) to waive your shipping fee which means you’ll get your outfit in the mail without paying anything!

What Did I Get?

This month I received a long rose gold leaf necklace, gold bangles that are all connected, a dark red tee with a choker cut, black lace shorts, an olive green open cardigan, a peach floral colored shirt with cutout sleeves, and floral athletic shorts.

My Outfits

 

 

Did I Keep It?

Yes, everything! I instantly put on the bracelet because I love it so much and goes with everything! It is so pretty and I’ve received compliments on it already. The leaf necklace is very delicate and the leaf seems like it could break easily, but I really did like the way it looks on. The dark red tea is a great basic that looks really cute tucked in or knotted. I love neutral colors, and lace is so in style for 2018, so the black lace shorts are going to get a lot of wear! I really like that the lace shorts are pretty short, but the lace part goes longer than the lining, so they don’t seem too revealing. The olive cardigan is very similar to one I received from Nadine West before, but it’s actually one of my favorite ever Nadine West items so I don’t mind. The peach floral colored shirt is really pretty, but it is probably my least favorite item in this box only because I’ve been gravitating to neutrals lately. The floral athletic shorts are super soft and perfect for doing yard work, bumming around the house, or wearing with a white or black tank on casual days.

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Each month 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 have been liking my boxes more and more lately, which I am pleased with.

 

Have you tried any fashion boxes like this? Have you tried Nadine West? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

SUNGLASS WAREHOUSE REVIEW | PRICES TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?

June 11, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that your week is off to a fantastic start so far! Today is my daughters last day of school (HOW is she going to be in second grade next year? How?!) and that means in a few short hours we will officially be on summer vacation! I know they’ll drive me crazy, but I love having my Little Loves home with me!

 

 

I was contacted by someone who works with SW Sunglass Warehouse and asked if I’d like to pick out a few pairs of sunglasses for my consideration for review. I was excited to try out some different styles, and because I tend to prefer more expensive sunglasses, I thought the affordable price point of SW Sunglass Warehouse would be a great way to test them out.

My Thoughts

I pride myself on always being 100% honest with you, because without your trust what would this blog be? A whole lot of nothing! So, I am going to remain 100% honest and say that overall I am not impressed. My first impression was that they seemed flimsy and cheaply made. I will say the plastic frame pair is nice and will probably survive far after the others have hit the wastebasket. I do think that if you are interested in a specific look or style of frame this *could* be a way to try it out before splurging on a more expensive pair. I honestly have seen sunglasses at gas stations and Walmart that are the same price but seem of better quality. I will list some of my other sunglass suggestions below.

Where do you shop for sunglasses? Do you wear one pair all the time or change it up?

Thank you, as always, for reading! I hope you have a fantastic week!

What Did I Get?

This month I received a gold layered necklace, a pair of gold earrings, a pair of mesh side cropped leggings, a pair of black floral shorts, an orange smock top dress, a lace black shirt,  and a casual red shirt.

My Outfits

 

 

Did I Keep It?

I liked both the necklace and the earrings more on than I initially thought I would at first glace. The leggings aren’t as comfortable as the pair I got last month (and no pockets!) but I do really like the mesh side and lace-up leg details. I will wear the leggings casually, but not for workouts. I love the floral shorts, they are super soft and look cute on! I love neutral colors, even florals!  I wish so badly that the smock dress was a top instead, because it is super cute and I love the smock style in tanks, but I am not crazy about it as a dress and likely won’t be reaching for it. I really like the black lace top as well, but I will pair it with high rise shorts or pants next time. I absolutely LOVE the casual red top, the pictures don’t do it justice (I was dealing with atrocious lighting this day, whoops) but it’s perfect for casual days.

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Each month 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.

My Outfits

This month I received a lot of clothing pieces and accessories. I got a pair of black cropped leggings with side pockets to fit an iPhone, a navy floral henley style top, a gold bracelet, a clay-colored off the shoulder top, an orange floral babydoll tank that reminds me of a Hawaiian luau, a turquoise necklace, and a pair of cat-eye tortoise sunglasses.

 

 

 

Did I Keep It?

I love the cropped length leggings, mostly because the side pockets fit my cell phone perfectly which is great when I want to wear leggings for walks with the kids and I wore them just this past weekend when I took my seven-year-old to a trampoline park. They do have mesh panels which is great when it is hot, but I will say that they aren’t a compression legging, so they might not be the best when you need super hold-in-place gear, but they are great for comfort activewear that looks great. The navy floral henley style shirt is really comfortable, and I like that way it looks on. The gold bracelet doesn’t seem that exciting, but I really loved the way it looked on and in pictures. I don’t care for the fit or color of the clay-colored top. The orange floral babydoll style tunic tank is a really fun color on, but the fit of the shirt isn’t a style that I love which is a bummer because I love wearing orange. My favorite things this month were far and away the turquoise T necklace and the cat-eye sunglasses! I received compliments on the necklace immediately, and I love how it dresses up a plain tee shirt. The sunglasses are comfortable on, and great for when I just want a pair of lightweight plastic frames.

Final Thoughts

I love getting my Nadine West box each month! Each month 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.

HOW-TO WEAR THREADER EARRINGS AND DELICATE JEWELRY | FEATURING LULUPO DESIGNS WITH COUPON CODE

April 2, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a wonderful weekend, and a very Happy Easter if you celebrate : ) As you’re reading this I am very likely heading to a Justin Timberlake Man of the Woods concert and could not be more excited! What was the last concert you attended? Were you team N’Sync or Backstreet Boys? Are you going to any fun concerts this summer? Let us know in the comments!

 

 

 

 

How To Wear Threader Style Earrings and Minimalist Jewelry

I love simple jewelry because you can wear it dressed up or down and it looks classy, always. I like layering minimalist necklaces, especially one that is short almost choker style and one a bit longer. I like wearing simple gold earrings and pulling my hair back when I want to show them off.

Lulupo Designs 

I have been obsessed with delicate jewelry lately, and like I showed on my birthday wishlist post (you can read that here) I have been drooling over threader earrings. I was searching Etsy and found the shop LuluPo Designs and instantly fell hard for the simple designs and understated elegance.

I ordered the Minimalist Howlite Earrings because if you’ve seen my Instagram you know that I love anything marble. I also snagged the Minimalist Square Threaders and they are my favorite! I have been wearing them nonstop. I love that the earrings are super light and go with anything. I did notice that the earrings are the tiiiiiniest bit thicker than most earrings, but haven’t noticed any irritation but I may not wear them every day just in case. The earrings are super inexpensive and her shop is new but has fantastic reviews. I hope that she rolls out necklaces in the future!

Luica, the owner of Lulupo Designs is incredibly helpful and has great communication! She was sweet enough to send me two more pairs for my consideration for review. She sent me the Hoop Threaders which I love because I have been wanting some hoops since they’re on trend right now and wanted a minimalist pair to style for everyday looks. She also sent me the Crystal Studs which I adore because I am a total studs girl.

Coupon Code

You can use the code LEAH20 at checkout to save 20% off anything in the Lulupo Designs Etsy Shop.  *Note: These links are not affiliate link which means that I won’t be paid if you use them or use the discount code! Thank you so much Lucia for sharing this link with my followers : )

HOW TO REFRESH YOUR WARDROBE ON A BUDGET | REPLACE BUTTONS TO ADD STYLE

March 21, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Wednesday!

I hope that you are having a fabulous week! Cheers to making it to hump day : )

I have recently been doing some major spring cleaning in my closet. I began by going through every piece of clothing that was hanging in my closet and deciding whether or not it was something I loved or wore enough to justify it getting to stay in the closet.

 

CLEANING OUT MY CLOSET

I got strict with myself and if things had stains or looked ratty I tossed them. I had so many cami shirts, tanks, and tees that while I still consider closet staples, needed to be replaced. I threw away cheap shoes that weren’t comfortable or were very beat up. I donated clothing that was in good shape but that I didn’t wear or that didn’t fit me.  Anything that I couldn’t part with because it was extremely sentimental, great quality but not currently being worn, or things that I did use but very rarely I moved out of my closet and into storage.

ORGANIZING MY CLOSET

I put all of my clothing in color order and by type so that when I am looking for something, it is easy to find. I already had been doing this, but I perfected it to make it as easy as possible to find and use my clothing pieces. I use these black velvet hangers to keep a clean and organized look while maximizing my small closet space.

 

REFRESHING CLOTHING ITEMS WITH BUTTONS

I made a pile of clothing that needed to be dry cleaned, and then another pile of things that I loved but wasn’t wearing because they needed small inexpensive repairs. I took a trip to Hobby Lobby and ended up spending $13 to fix three items and am so thrilled with my results that I had to share them with you. I am no seamstress, but I have a small sewing box that is pretty much exclusively the spare buttons that come with clothes and a few basics. If I can do these quick fixes, so can you! ; )

 

E3000 RHINESTONE FIX

I found a button down shirt that I have had for years from Express that love because it has the timeless style of a white shirt but fun rhinestone buttons to give it a little something, but I hadn’t worn it in YEARS because one button on the shirt was missing a rhinestone. I was able to find a rhinestone that fit into the button and glue it in using E3000 and now I have my shirt back. Similar shirts at Express cost about $60 and I fixed it for $3!

 

REPLACING A BUTTON ON A SILK BLOUSE

I had a beautiful silk shirt that my mother purchased for me for sorority events back in college (yes, it’s more than a couple of years old!) that I hadn’t worn in years and years because it was missing a button and the puffy sleeve had gone out of style. Fast-forward to 2018? The romantic sleeve is back in style, and a silk shirt really always looks good, so I decided to try to find a replacement button. I found a button that was a bit larger than the buttons on the shirt, but I decided to move the top collar button onto the shirt to where the button was missing and then added the larger rhinestone button to the top collar spot to that the size difference looked like it was meant to be that way. *TIP: If you can’t find the exact button or the exact size you need, put the replacement in a spot that isn’t obvious and move that button to the more obvious spot if needed. I spent $3 to replace a button on a shirt that would retail about $100.

 

REPLACING BUTTONS ON A BLAZER TO TAKE IT FROM CHEAP TO CHIC

A one-button gray blazer from Maurcies was sitting in my closet but I wasn’t ever reaching for it because I felt that it looked a bit cheap, even though it fits me well. I spent $7 to replace the plastic gray buttons that the blazer came with one large gold button and the smaller gold buttons on the sleeves. A Maurice’s blazer costs about $40-50 and I was able to make it look like a blazer from a more expensive brand by simply replacing the buttons.

 

 

SHOP

 

So, what do you think? Can you think of any jackets, blazers, or shirts where a simple button replacement could make them wearable, more luxe, or more current? If this post inspires you to update any of your pieces, please share with me on my social media which is always linked at the bottom of every post : ) I plan to do more style DIYs and budget tips, so please let me know if you have any requests! xx

My Outfit

This month I received a beautiful black floral tunic, fleece lined burgundy leggings, a gray and white striped sweater with elbow patches, a pair of statement earrings, a gold and silver necklace, and a navy leather bracelet with floral beads.

Did I Keep It?

Yes! One of my very best friends had a surprise birthday party, and I completely changed the outfit I had picked out in order to wear the black floral tunic! The floral tunic is almost a dress, but the tie waist opens a bit so I prefer to wear it as a tunic with leggings. I was thrilled that the fleece lined leggings paired perfectly with the flowers on the tunic. I love that the leggings are lined with fleece, and they’re great because I have already been able to dress them up and then again down with a cozy crewneck sweatshirt. I love classic pieces and neutral colors, so the striped sweater with the cute elbow patch detail has already been worn several times, although I do wish it was a bit longer. I am not a fan of the necklace, even though I do think it looks pretty on, but I think that it is something that I can pass on to someone who likes that style. The bracelet also isn’t something I would have picked, but I think it will be super cute in the summer, especially layered with other pieces. I wouldn’t have picked the earrings, I am such a stud earring girl, but I ended up LOVING what a statement these make. My favorite piece is by far the tunic along with the leggings. I think that Nadine West does a good job paying attention to your opinions, so my boxes have been improving and evolving with my feedback.

This month I received a black sweater, a faux fur infinity scarf, a choker necklace, a pair of earrings, and a pair of blue jegging style pants that I ended up returning due to size.

Did I Keep It?

This was the first Nadine West box where I did *not* keep everything I received. I ended up returning the pants because they did not fit me. Returning items to Nadine West is very easy to do, and I did ask if exchanges were possible and it seems that they are often out of stock of the items after they send them out, but  it doesn’t hurt to ask : ) I love the faux fur scarf, it was a style I had been admiring on others, and I have worn it many times since opening my box. I also wore the sweater immediately, and I have gotten a lot of compliments on it. The choker is the one item I am a bit on the fence with, I like choker style necklaces but this isn’t my favorite. I actually love the black, but I may end up removing the circle charm. I was surprised when I saw how long the earrings were, especially because I tend to be a studs girl, but I absolutely LOVE the way they look on!

Have you tried any fashion boxes like this? Have you tried Nadine West? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
