Abercrombie Sweater Dress | Dressed Up and Down

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

First things first, I LAUNCHED A MI APPAREL BRAND WITH MY HUSBAND!! MI TRADING POST. Please give us a follow on INSTAGRAM and a “like” on FACEBOOK.

I’ve always loved the look of sweater dresses but didn’t feel like I would get much wear out of them because I lived in a very cold and snowy climate, and while I didn’t move *that* far we have had an unseasonably warm fall this year all-over Michigan and I love the sweater dress I bought so much that I need to share it with you.

Long-Sleeve Mockneck Mini Sweater Dress

I love this sweater dress because it can easily be dressed up or dressed down. I wore it belted with knee-high heeled boots to see Swan Lake and dressed down with loafers for an everyday look. I am so glad that the warmer fall prompted me to order this because now I am sure I’ll figure out ways to continue wearing it with tights as the weather cools down.

I purchased this in a size small and it has a relaxed fit. I did purchase a small tall one because at 5’7 I am right on the cusp of needing a tall, and for mini dresses, I prefer the bit of extra length.

Hi there! Happy Monday! And Happy Halloween.

I’ve done it! I’ve found the best affordable purple shampoo and conditioner. eva.nyc tone it down blonde shampoo and eva.nyc tone it down conditioner. This shampoo is SCARY good. They are a must-have for blondes who are trying to get rid of brassy blonde. I didn’t find it, my hairstylist who is also a dear friend did, but I’ll take the credit anyway 😉

My MORNING Skincare Routine | Affordable For Combo Mid-30s Skin

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

From time to time I like to share my morning skincare routine. Most of the items I buy are between $10-20 and can be found in the drugstore or on Amazon. This is my 35 year old skincare routine for my combo skin. I still have some breakouts, I get oily in my T-zone, I am battling fine lines, and dark circles.

Vegan Leather Leggings | $15 Walmart Find

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I found an incredible pair of vegan leather leggings from Walmart. These might be a Spanx Leather Leggings dupe and they come in both a brown leather legging and a black leather legging from the brand Time and Tru. Leather is very in for fall 2022. I’ve been a big fan of Time and Tru for years and can’t wait to share these with you today.

Time and Tru Women’s Faux Leather Leggings

I have never tried the Spanx Leather Leggings, and I am sure they don’t have the same compression but on looks alone, I think these are a great affordable dupe. These leggings are lined with a soft material so they don’t feel funny on the legs and they pull on easily, and I don’t think that they will make you sweat like some began leather options I have seen. I found these in store but they’re also available online. I am wearing my true size small.

Have you tried a vegan leather legging? Are you jumping on the leather trend for fall 2022?

Shop My Outfits Daily + Cute Comfy LEGGING Look

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I am not a huge legging girl. Don’t click out. I do love them, but I usually wear jeans or trousers, HOWEVER, this fall I snagged a couple of really precious legging-friendly pieces that look a bit more elevated and stylish than the typically zip-up with legging combo [though that is iconic, isn’t it?] I share my outfits every day on my Instagram.

Nike Air Force 1 07s – These are iconic, and classic, and go with so many things! I wear them with leggings, jeans, dresses, and trousers!

Asymmetrical Snap-Up Fleece – This is SO comfy and the vegan leather makes it seem much nicer than if it was just a plain fleece. Because of the vegan leather, I plan to baby this when I launder it and do so by hand and when possible just Fabreze it 😉 I try to do this with sweaters to extend the life of the garment (but don’t worry, not if I am sweating or stinky!) I SIZED UP one so that this was legging-friendly, if you’re shorter you may not need to size up but at 5’7 I needed the medium to get it to completely cover my bum.

Point Split Hem Flare Pant – Call them what you want, in my mind are super thick nice elevated flared leggings, or as we called them in college, yoga pants.

Winter Boots From Walmart?! | Time and Tru Winter Boots Review

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

You will not believe the Time and Tru winter boots I found at Walmart! Last year I finally purchased a nice pair of Sorel Explorer Carnival II Boots and I wore them every day from November until May (that’s Northern MI for ya). When we packed up our home and made a large move this summer, a lot of things ended up in our storage unit and it’s packed so tight that nothing is coming out until we buy a home because it’s a literal hazard to try to get it out. I knew I needed something for this winter, but didn’t feel comfortable spending a lot since I know that I have a beautiful pair in storage. I was grabbing a few items for grocery pick-up last weekend and found these Time and Tru winter boots and I have to share them with you.

TIME AND TRU WOMENS WTR LACE UP DUCK

How cute are these?! Less than $40 and they are so darn cute in person. I haven’t tested them in the cold temps yet, and while I don’t expect them to be as warm as my Sorel boots, the fact that they’re rated for -5° is promising and the memory foam is super comfortable.

Product details

The Time and Tru ladies lace up duck boot will keep your feet warm and dry in style this winter. Featuring a warm faux sherpa lining & sock, and a quilted flannel upper, this boot is temp rated to -5F.

  • Womens Time and Tru WTR Lace up duck
  • Temperature rated -5F
  • Skid Resistant
  • Memory foam
  • warm lining
  • Polyester quilted upper
  • Fleece boa lining
  • TPR shell bottom
  • D-ring lace up closure
  • Polyester
  • Made in China

They also have a ton of other cute options like these Faux Fur Winter Boots (swooning!) and these Faux Fur Quilted Boots.

Do you have a pair of winter boots? Which brand do you have? I would love to hear from you!
