As part of my clothing budget last month, I got a button up from J. Crew Factory. At first, I was thinking of getting the navy version, but then I saw the pink and changed my mind. I knew it would be a versatile item in my closet, and here is an example of that: On the left, I went with a dressy look for work and layered the gingham under a sweater. On the right, I went casual and added my olive cargo jacket over it. Shop the look: Pink gingham: J. Crew Factory Boots: Aldo Read More
Teal Blazer Remix, Instagram Style
Hope you had a nice weekend! Today’s remix features my teal blazer, which seems appropriate given St. Patrick’s Day (and this week’s Pinned It and Did It Challenge from Style Journey).

This first look is a favorite of mine- perfect for spring! I paired the teal blazer with a pink striped peplum top that I bought from Ginny Read More

Sequins and stripes remix
There’s nothing I love more than stripes and sequins. And this top from Loft combines the two! The sequins give it a more dressy, fun look and the black and white stripes make it a blank canvas for you to add pops of color! For example, you can start with the top and basic black on bottom (or jeans). Shirt: Loft (option, option, option) Then, you can remix it by adding a color bottom (skirts/tights or pants), or even a colored top (cardigan or blazer.) Accessories like scarves or Read More
