Playing with Patterns | Closet Remix
So I've been trying to break out of my one-pattern-at-a-time cycle, and this is a great illustration of that! I would have worn the outfit on the left, which is fine...but when you add the scarf in the same color family as the cardigan- it really adds to the outfit! Baby steps...I'm getting there so I can become an expert closet remixer! :-) Shop the look: Sandals- Target (exact, cute option) Cropped pants- Gap (exact) Tank- Gap (similar from Gap) Cardigan- Target (exact) Scarf- Read More
Sheer tops and summer style
I love flowy, sheer tops. They are perfect for summer because they aren't super clingy when it's hot and humid outside so it doesn't show sweat! Plus, it's thin enough to layer under a blazer and wear to work or just wear alone with some jeans for a more casual look. I've worn this top from Target about a million times, so it's definitely paid for itself in terms of cost per wear! Wedges: Payless (similar, super comfy version) Cropped pants: Gap Outlet (similar) Sheer top: Target Read More
7×8 Remix: 7 Pieces, 8 Outfits
So one of my favorite bloggers, Audrey at Putting Me Together, is hosting a 7x7 remix challenge. The idea of the challenge is to show 7 outfits created from 7 pieces (including shoes and excluding accessories) to help you to stretch your ideas for different & new ways to wear a small number of items. I love the idea! I always wanted to do a 30x30 challenge but it still seems do daunting to me but 7x7?! Totally do-able! It's is realistic too...especially if you are traveling or ahem, Read More
Navy and orange
Shoes: Target Cropped pants: Gap Shirt and necklace: Loft Outlet 1-Today's item for the We Love Target Link-Up is shoes. I got these navy espadrille wedges on sale as one of Target's Daily Deals and have literally worn them three days in a row. At first, the straps were a little tight and left some marks on my feet, but after a couple wears, they have finally broken in! And since there is a platform, I can wear these all day without my feet hurting and still get some height! 2- I Read More
Love for Linen & Infinity Scarves
Today's Pantone color for the Spring Color Challenge is Linen. I could have taken it literally and went with my new linen shorts from Loft, but I opted to go with the general color. Sometimes that linen color can be tricky as it can wash me out, so I decided to add my coral infinity scarf to give the outfit an extra pop. Infinity scarves are one of my favorite accessory--it's half scarf, half necklace- GENIUS! Shoes: TOMS (wore as a bridesmaid last fall!) Jeans: AE Sweater: Old Navy Read More
