Fall Fashion: Vests

Fall Fashion: Vests 
Vests are one of my must haves during the fall. They are perfect to layer on days that are chilly but aren't cold enough for a heavy jacket. For this look I paired a light vest with a button down shirt and a tapestry inspired skirt. I love how all the colors came together to create a rich fall color palette. This look is perfect for going to class on a nice fall day. Personally, I think wearing skirts is easier then throwing on a pair of sweats and a sweatshirt. Also, they are just as comfy! 

I paired this look with my favorite pair of fall boots at the moment. They are in between a bootie and a tall boot so they go with skirts, dresses, and pants. Then I wore one of my favorite J Crew statement necklaces to complete the look. 



This vest from Old Navy is a great dupe for the famous J Crew vests. They are around $30 and are a great piece to have in your fall wardrobe! I got mine on sale later in the year so be on the look out for a deal!

How to: wear blazers

How to: wear blazers 

Every girl needs a blazer in her life. At some point everyone has to go to some stuff interview and wear a blazer and a pair of slacks. 
BUT blazers can be a great piece to wear on a daily basis. 

There are many ways to make a blazer more casual or to fit your style. 
Below are three looks based on 3 styles. 
First, the edgy girl. An edgy girl could pair an oversize blazer with a pair of velvet shorts, a crop top, and a pair of tights. This combination is not only unique but gives a vampire vibe. (Maybe it's the red velvet? I don't know but it seems vampire inspired.)
Lets say you are more of a classic girl? Well, pair a blazer with a cute dress and a pair of sparkle heels. Also, add some chic accessories like a patterned watch and colorful earrings.
For the girly girl pair your blazer with a pair of colored pants and a crew neck. It makes your blazer more casual. Pair it with a cute pair of patterned sneakers and a chunky pearl necklace. By pairing your blazer with a sweatshirt it makes it more comfy and casual.

A plaid scarf and plaid blazer is a fun way to mix prints in the fall. 



Pair your holiday sequin top with a blazer with a pair of dark wash jeans. This makes not only a super cute party outfit but just a cute outfit to wear around! 

For some reason blazers and striped things always look good. Especially when paired with preppy accessories

The Basics of Boots


The Basics of Boots

Having a good pair of boots is a must in the fall and winter season. You can wear boots with practically any outfit. Not to mention they are ideal for keep your feet warm in the snow. However, how can you decide between splurging on a pair of boots or going cheap? 

Well, I found options that are cute for both ways. They also are very similar to each other, the only difference? The price! 

The more expensive options feature Tory Burch, Michael Kors, Steve Madden, and Jessica Simpson. I own brown Michael Kors boots and I absolutely love them. But, I know they are expensive so below I found a pair at Target that look pretty similar in style. Also, the black Jessica Simpson booties look almost identical to the brown Target booties below. I have a pair that look like these from Target that I got on sale for about $9. They are a great pair of shoes and were obviously a great deal! 

Steve Madden combat boots are a huge hit. But, you can get very similar pairs at places like Forever 21 for around $30. But, always be a look out for a sale on these because eventually you can get them for a good deal!

The Ultimate #OOTD

September 11th, 2013: 

The Outfit: This shirt basically describes my life. Many of you know I do OOTDs every single day for the most part. So obviously this muscle tank is perfect for me. I styled the muscle tank with a bright blue lace bandeau underneath. The blue pops out and adds a special touch to the look. Also I paired the black and white top with a black and white striped patterned skirt. This skirt is unique in the fact that it isn't your typical striped pattern. Overall, the look was fun and comfortable for the hot Ames weather.

This look was super casual and super easy to put together.
