About 22 weeks ago, or 154 days, I decided that I needed to stop buying new accessories and start utilizing all of the ones I currently have. Since then I have made an attempt to not wear a necklace twice until all have been worn.
Of course I don't wear a necklace everyday- in the winter I usually trade between scarves and necklaces but if the shirt has beading or a graphic I try not to over do it with the accessories.
I heard once- you should put one of everything on you like, earrings, necklace, ring, and bracelet. And then take one off.
I don't know if that is true or not- I don't personally think you can be overstyled if its your personal style.
Either way, I don't have earrings so I guess by default I follow that rule.
This years fashion resolution- while belated is coming at the perfect time, its never too late to get your style on!
What I initially loved about this idea what that it really forced me to wear certain necklaces that I bought for maybe a one time occasion.
And even better it tested me sometimes, which sounds so dramatic, and it totally wasn't THAT serious; but it made me really think about the colors that I liked together, and styles to try and new things. It made me sometimes reinvent my style so to speak.
Anyway, I have posted a few of my favorites and will continue to do so. However I can't guarantee the no repeat... I might let some of the newbies slide :)
As always, I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for reading!
Lately, with all the events I have coming up and birthdays, I cant but help jump on the ball with my outfit selections. Below are the top things I have been eyeing.
The plaid blazer totally gave me a clueless moment and I know I needed to have it.
While the floral blazer is perfect for a garden party, or a brunch.
And don't even get me started on that amazing skirt... definitely my top pick.
Charming Charlie I came across just recently and have to say it is amazing. An accessories warehouse- I couldn't help but explore it.
and last but not least that gorgeous shoe, that would be perfect accompanying that floral jacket for a champagne brunch with the girls. Links are down below!
Hope you enjoy!
What I love about fashion, getting ready, and makeup is that sometimes it makes you feel fabulous and gives you a confidence that I think we all lose sometimes.
I wish sometimes people had this confidence all day every day, but alas that is truly wishful thinking.
I know that for me, while I can rock a no makeup look and I don't mind dressing down sometimes, the way I feel when I truly get to take my time and feel great is what I love.
Circa 2009-2012 I was loving the style of Kim Kardashian, like most people I drew some ideas from her, but now I am not digging the over the top style- it is definitely not an every girl, every day look.
Now I've discovered my own fashion sense but like to draw from what I see on TV or magazines.
I am guilty of liking about one show and following it, Once Upon a Time, but I have to admit that when I am in a style funk- or don't know what to wear I draw some ideas from the hit show Pretty Little Liars. On and off set those girls have great style. While browsing the internet today I came across this look by Lucy Hale on the set of Pretty Little Liars and fell in love with the jacket!
Red is one of those colors, that to me, can be worn all year long.
Lucy's look is below, and I have attached where you can buy her outfit.
Jacket| Current Elliot| $225
Top| Equipment Kyle| sold out
Now for my version of the look
Jacket| Forever 21| 32.90
Tank Top| Kohls| $26
With the new year, comes new clothes. I did not make a resolution this year, but instead I started it with an "in comes the new" state of mind.
There has been a superstition that what you bring into the new year is what you will bring to yourself- this year I spend some Christmas money on new clothes.
Charlotte Russe was having an amazing sale and I picked up some great finds!
P.S- if you download the app there is a FREE SHIPPING NO MINIMUM!
I went on a blazer/sweater shopping spree and purchased 7. All of which are professional, comfortable, and stylish.
The pastel Pink is on the site with the color label of "violet" I was a little worried that the color would not be the gorgeous shell pink that was pictured... Low and behold when I opened the package everything was as pictured and fit perfectly!
I can't wait to put together some outfits!
