Thankful

Pinned Image

Counting one’s blessings is always a healthy and humbling thing to do. This year I’m thankful for a handsome new husband, a healthy and expanded family, sweet friends, puppies, yummy food, free time and so much more. I always think of Thanksgiving as a passage into six weeks of holidays and it’s lovely to be on the front end.
A happy girl is a pretty girl, don’t you agree?

What I Wore: On Point

(what i wore: skirt – vintage from potter’s house, top – tj maxx, heels – banana republic, necklace – vintage from mae’s, lips – cover girl lip perfection in siren)
I don’t know if pointy toe pumps ever really went out but either way, they’re back. They are such a feminine shape and they do wonders for the legs.

What I Wore: Lazy

(what i wore: oxford – polo, black skinny jeans – lee, sneakers – forever21, easiest hair ever from here)
Friends, I’m in a rut. The coldish/rainy weather is not getting my creative juices flowing in the form of outfits! I’ll try to pull something fun out of my hat soon.

What I Wore: Boxy Blazer

(what i wore: skinny jeans – lee from tj maxx, tshirt – walmart, strappy sandals – charles david, earrings – vintage from mae’s emporium, boxy blazer – vintage from cheap thrills also seen here)
I was pretty much obsessed with this outfit, it felt very 90s but also seasonally appropriate and fun. I whipped my hair back and forth all day!

What I Wore: All Tied Up

(what i wore: blouse – polo, bowtie – claire’s, earrings – forever21, leather skirt – unknown vintage from potter’s house, tights – dkny, platforms – nine west)
I found this gem of a leather skirt for (wait for it) $5 the other day. I decided to snazz it up with ruffles and bows. My husband told me I looked like a card dealer at a casino. He might be right…

Winter Inspiration

It’s hard to look chic when the high is 20 degrees but it can be done. Case in point: the above.

What I Wore: Easy Dressing


(what i wore: dress – unknown, belt – banana republic, boots – forever21)
This dress is one of my go-tos for fall. It’s comfortable and billowy but also feminine.

A Spooky Little Girl like You

Halloween is one of my all-time favorite occasions. I LOVE to dress up in costume. I’m the kind of girl that wears wigs to a concert and noodles, so you can imagine…Luckily, my new husband shares my affinity for playing dress-up and allows himself to be “convinced” to participate.
At our rehearsal dinner, my mom made an extremely lovely video montage of us and we were dressed up in costume in so many of the pictures.
I began to embrace it as our equity. Here are some costumes from years past.
