OOTD: Sweatshirt Chic

Casual Chic

Since school has started I have been trying to find new ways to be comfortable yet chic! So, for this first week look I wore this fun graphic sweatshirt with a simple navy skirt. I love the idea of dressing up a super casual piece like a sweatshirt. It gives me an element of comfort but I'm still cute and put together for class. I accessorized with bright pink accessories including a bold statement earrings, casual sneakers, and a bright belt.

Where it's from:

Sweatshirt: J Crew

Skirt: J Crew (Crew Cuts)

Belt: American Eagle

Shoes: Keds (vintage)

Earrings: J Crew

Glasses: Tory Burch

Bracelets: Alex and Ani

Watch: Michael Kors

Get the look:

Dress up your favorite sweatshirt with a skirt that fits your style. The first look features a boho twist with fun ankle booties and emerald stud earrings. The second look features mixing prints with a fun floral skirt, pearl studs, and simple flats.

OOTD: Mixing Prints

All mixed up!

For this work look I decided to mix it up a bit. And by that I mean mixing prints. Sometimes I am afraid to mix prints because some people are probably like what is that girl wearing?! But, I decided that this look gets the job done in a very subtle way. I paired a navy and white polka dot dress with this super fun white and navy striped scarf. By sticking in the same color family it makes the look less intimidating in my opinion. I paired the look with a nude sandal and simple gold accessories to complete the look.

What is your favorite way to mix prints? Let me know in the comments!

OOTD: Inner Hippie

Alter ego?

Sometimes I like to mix up my style from my normal preppy looks and do something a little more edgy or boho. This outfit is one of those days! I got this super cute maroon tulle dress at a boutique in Iowa when I was visiting my friend. It is super fun and playful and can be styled in a lot of different ways. For this look I decided to keep it more edgy. To keep myself warm I layered the dress with an embroidered denim button down. It has a slight tribal pattern which gives the look a little edge. To make it seem not so oversized I tied the sides up into little nots. I love doing this because it keeps the shirt out of your way and makes it a little more girly. For jewelry I layered a short necklace and a very long chain. The chain has jewels that range in colors then the short necklace is a single spike dagger situation. For shoes I simply wore a pair of gold and silver sandals from Target.

However, my hair is what really makes the look a little more not myself! I decided to try and mix up the normal messy bun that morning. So, I made two pigtails super close to each other on the top of my head. Then I teased both pig tails then wrapped the hair around the elastic band to create two textured buns. I slightly pushed them together to create a kind of combined bun look. At first I didn't know how it would turn out but it actually looks super cute, messy, and playful. Normally I am a very slick sleek bun, mainly because I danced for 14 years (I have to have everything neat!), so this was definitely a change for my hair!

OOTD: Rainy Day Chic

It's raining its pouring.....

So basically, it was super crummy earlier this week! It was snowing/ raining in April.. like why can't it be nice and warm? I took advantage of the rain and busted out my black Hunter rain boots. I paired them with a pair of black polka dots pants with a bright red top. For accessories I wore a bold black statement necklace along with my black monogram baseball cap.

This look is super preppy yet fun. It made my rainy day a little less sucky....

Disney Week: Cruella De Ville

Day 5: Cruella De Ville

Cruella De Ville may be one of the most fabulous villans of Disney. So, I created a look that would be a perfect party look.

This Topshop romper is a super fun and glamorous. Pairing it with red accessories and lips represents her gloves and her personal red lips. With junky rhinestone accessories it adds sparkle and an extra level of classiness to the look.

Disney Week: Aristocats

Day 4: Aristocats

Marie is one adorable cat. She is super cute and super sassy. I made an outfit that reflected her her character and her appearance.

I paired an embellished button down with a fun pair of patterned pants. This fun is chic and fun. I love the pink pattern on the pants. It is a fun pop of color to the look. For shoes I used a pair of bow embellished ballet flats. The bow mimics the bow that Marie always wears. For accessories I used a sparkly bracelet to complete the look.

Enjoy a photo shoot my friend and I did while she was here. We found a cool effect using the Christmas lights on my tree.

OOTD: Chicago Adventures

The past few days I have been spending my time with one of my best friends from school! She came down from Iowa to visit me here in Illinois.

(She is making her own fashion blog so stay tuned for colabs with her!)

While she was here we stayed in a fabulous hotel suite downtown on Michigan Avenue! It was such a fun and fabulous weekend.

For our first day in Chicago I wore my new faux fur vest. This kept me super warm seeing how it was basically 10 degrees the whole time we were in the city! I paired it with my go-to denim button down and a pair of black and gold skinnies.

The skinny jeans have a super cool cheetah print in a gold metallic color. The print is subtle but still shows while your wearing them.

For accessories I wore my favorite J Crew necklace that I got on super clearance at the store! It was only around $12! Can't beat that deal. And of course I wore my favorite arm candy and Michael Kors watch. To finish the look I wore a bold red lip. I love how the red pops from the otherwise dark look.

{The details of the look}

Where it's from:

Shirt: Lucky Brand

Vest: American Eagle

Jeans: Free People

Necklace: J Crew

Bracelets: Alex and Ani, Henri Bendel, and J Crew

It was a successful first day of shopping in the city! Got some really great and cool pieces.

{Me in front of our mini bar in our hotel room. It was a classy place.}

I was super excited that a Vineyard Vines store opened on Michigan Avenue! There bags are so darling!

We ate dinner at Volare which is an Italian restaurant. It was AMAZING! The best service and food I have had in a long time. Not to mention this adorable dessert!
