$18 Bodysuit + My Favorite Denim Shorts

May 15, 2018

Yall. I have a serious new obsession with bodysuits! (Especially the ones that are kind of tight and suck you in.. a makeshift Spanx if you think about it! Lol) They go with everything AND don’t make you look frumpy, which is a huge plus. You never have to worry about keeping your shirt perfectly tucked in again! Lucky for all of us, my bodysuit is ON SALE for $18 and available in two other colors! I was surprised at the nice quality considering the low price tag. I did have to add my favorite turquoise earrings for a statement look! They’re $18 as well and the perfect dupe to a $100 designer pair!! (Hurry though, they are almost sold out again!!)

Although I try to keep my outfits super affordable, I LOVE to invest in pieces that are worth the $$$! And I SWEAR these shorts are! At $128, they fit perfectly and aren’t too short! (But not too long either) I even think they look like the Levi shorts everyone was/is obsessed with too! Not kidding- every time I am going somewhere, I immediately grab these shorts! They’re just THAT good. The only thing I noticed worth mentioning is that they do run big! I’m usually a 26, but ordered a 24 after reading the reviews, and the shorts fit great! If you have any questions about sizing, let me know in the comment section below! 🙂

Sweater + Cutoffs

September 20, 2017

Happy Wedneday!

Obsessed. There’s really no other word to describe how much I adore this sweater! I had been eyeing it for a couple of weeks, and finally caved and purchased it. No regrets whatsoever! This will definitely be my go-to sweater of the fall. Free People has THE best products during the colder months, and their sweaters are absolutely amazing this season! This particular one isn’t too thick, so I was comfortable wearing it with cutoff shorts while it was 80 degrees outside. (Annoying Mississippi “fall” weather!) I love bright, vibrant sweaters because autumn and winter are usually filled with lots of neutrals. Luckily, Free People has tons of other pretty sweaters that pop with color! (My fall wishlist just keeps growing!)

I hope all my readers are having a fabulous week! The Bulldogs are playing the other Bulldogs this weekend, so we’re traveling to Athens to the game. I’ve never been there, so I can’t wait for Friday! I’ve heard that Athens is a blast, so we’ll find out if it lives up to the hype!

How to Work Summer Colors into Fall

September 20, 2016

Happy Wednesday Y’all!

Of course, my favorite transitional trend that I have been wearing nonstop is still lightweight sweaters and cutoff shorts. (See my similar post here from a few weeks ago!) I love incorporating summer styles like shorts and fall favorites like sweaters to create a perfect outfit to handle Mississippi’s “fall weather” or lack thereof. I also think buying sweaters that are unusual colors for the cool weather end up standing out the most! To me, pastel shades like lavender, pale pink, and powder blue are always the prettiest sweaters and give such a sweet, feminine vibe. They are unexpected pieces and are sure to set you apart from all the neutral colors that start blending together after a while. Not that I don’t love a great taupe sweater, but it can be boring without cute accessories! I am all about bright colors (if y’all haven’t noticed haha) so styling this lavender Urban Outfitters sweater with turquoise accessories just felt right. The turquoise pops against the subtle lavender, so I am certain y’all will be seeing this color combination again very soon! My Free People cutoffs (best. shorts. ever.) and Steve Madden heels (I scored these on sale) complete the look! I linked my outfit and some other pastel sweaters I love in the carousel below. Thanks for reading!

XOXO

Pretty Long Sleeves + Cute Cut Offs

August 27, 2016

Happy Saturday Ya’ll!

September is right around the corner, and stores are constantly releasing their beautiful fall merchandise daily. From grey skinny jeans to off-the-shoulder sweaters, limiting my online shopping to only the fall necessities lately has been ridiculously hard. (I cannot wait to show y’all the great fall pieces I have bought though!) The Mississippi heat is the main reason I have been restricting myself to buying only transitional pieces that can be worn now and layered later. Right now, my absolute favorite combination is long sleeve tops and cut off shorts! I love adding my chunky Marc Fisher wedges to dress the outfit up, or throwing on my Vince Camuto booties (one of my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale purchases) for a more casual look. I found this embroidery cold shoulder top at Revolve. (best online shopping no doubt) The top has such fun summer colors, but the sleeves make it a wonderful transition piece for the fall paired with dark denim later on! Don’t get me wrong, I love the rich autumn colors like burgundy and grey, but my obsession with bright colors only gets worse during the winter months, so I have to take advantage of them while I can! Everything is linked above, along with similar tops and shorts in the carousel below.

XOXO
