stripes & pearls

Hey ladies!

Since yesterday was my only day off, I decided to lay around my house in my pjs all day! Towards the end of my lazy afternoon, I had to get ready and go look around town for new houses with my new roommate!  We found a couple of good houses during our adventure around town and then we ended the night with Red Elephant, which is an awesome restaurant in Tallahassee.  They have the best Bar-b-Que Chicken Pizza!

This is my outfit that I wore while we were trying to decide on new houses!  I thought about being lazy & just wearing this tank top with a pair of jeans but I talked myself out of it.  I threw on these olive green pants from Gap and my all time favorite jean jacket.  I figured this was a tad bit dresser than my plain 'ol jeans. 

My Outfit:

Jean Jacket: Gap Outlet

Tank Top: Gap Outlet

Broken In Straights: Gap

Shoes: Payless Shoes

When you are feeling like having a lazy day, what makes you get out of that mood?

Happy Tuesday ladies!

I am little late posting my outfit from yesterday because I have been shamelessly watching The Vow while crying my eyes out and trying to drink my afternoon coffee.    

While watching this movie, my ears fell in love with this song.  It's called Nothing Was Stolen by Phosphorescent.  Give this tune a listen!

Anyways enough about romantic movies, here is the outfit I wore yesterday!  Since the weekend was extremely busy, I wanted something very calm & casual for my Monday afternoon.  I wanted to wear my new Gap cardigan that I found at the outlet so instead of pairing it with my coral colored pants or white crop pants, I went with my light blue pants.  

Color blocking is the main focus of this outfit and I love the two blue hues together.  I am also glad that I paired a white t-shirt to keep the two colors separate and to keep my outfit very casual.  

If you wanted to add a pop of color, I would suggest putting a red or coral color shirt underneath.  You could also add a striped shirt underneath the cardigan to add a little bit of pattern to your outfit!   

Here is my arm candy for the day :)

 

My Outfit:

Cardigan: Gap Outlet

T-Shirt: Loft

Necklace: Forever 21

Broken in Straight: Gap

Shoes: Payless Shoes

If you have tried color-blocking in your outfit, how did it go for you?  Did you like it? If so, share!

Sweater + Dress = Bliss

My Sunday outfit for Mother's Day was some what thrown together.  Since I was home for the entire weekend, I visited the Gap Outlet in Lake Park, Georgia.  There I found this sweater for $13.99, which I had to purchase!  

Since it is basically summer down here in North Florida, I paired it on top of a white strapless dress.  Then I belted it with a rustic, antique looking belt, that I found in my mom's closet.  To complete the outfit I just threw on my tan wedge heels and viola, a complete outfit for church!

My outfit:

Sweater: Gap Outlet

Dress: Plato's Closet

Belt: Borrowed from my Momma

Shoes: Target

Here is a close up of my sweater & belt.

Doesn't she look young enough to be my sister?!

Comfort with Cardigans

Yesterday was all about comfort with my outfit.  This cardigan has become a staple in my closet for the past 3 years.  I paired it on top of a white Scoop Neck T shirt from Loft then wore my skinny jeans from Gap.  I could have worn a wider jean opening but I think pairing my skinny jeans with this outfit made it look a little dressier.      

This pair of earrings are from Country Dollar, the store I talked about in my last post, with the $1 merchandise!  I love the blue print on them.  

My Outfit:

Cardigan: Forever 21

T- Shirt: Scoop Neck Tee from Loft

Earrings: Country Dollar

Jeans: Skinny Jeans from Gap

Shoes: Wedges from Target

I forgot to wash my hair before work, so instead of curling it like I planned, I had to throw it up in a sock bun.  Instead of doing a high sock bun, I decided to do a low one.  Which bun do you like better?

Hope ya'll have an awesome hump day!

Coral Pants

When spring classes were still in session, I wore this outfit to class!  With work and blogging other outfits, I guess this outfit slipped my mind to post! 

I love colored pants, just ask any of my friends!  If I have the choice, I would wear them every day.  I found these broken-in straight pants from Gap.  They fit like a glove and they can easily be dressed up or down.  

You will find that I pair these pants with many different types of tops.  But for this particular day, I wanted to wear a casual white blouse with a pop of blue in my necklace!  This way it keeps the outfit very casual for my mile-long walk on campus to class.

My outfit:

Broken in Straight Pants - Gap

Blouse - Loft

Necklace - Gifted from my momma

Shoes - Payless Shoes

What do you ladies think of colored pants?

Daily Outfit Post: Keepin' it Cool

The first day of summer break was yesterday and I ended up leaving my house in a pair of jeans .. 

Crazy right? I thought so.  

To make my outfit a little bit cooler, I paired my Gap skinny jeans with my tan sheer top from Loft.  Since I have purchased this top, I have worn it countless times in many different ways (sorry for not posting them!).  

For styling the sheer top, I tucked in the right side of the shirt and then left the left side untucked for a casual fun summer style.  

For jewerly, I wore a pair of yellow earrings and a pair of bangles.  

My outfit:

Jeans: Always Skinny from Gap

Blouse: Loft

Shoes: Payless Shoes

P.S. I promise one day I am going to teach myself  the settings on my camera and not take them on my  iPhone!!

Daily Outfit Post: Orange Giraffe Prints

Happy Friday the 13th ladies!

Today was an extremely awesome day for me, even though it was "suppose" to be unlucky!  I found the perfect outfit while looking through my closet this morning.  Whenever I went home last weekend to visit my family, my mom wanted to get rid of some of her older dresses, so of course I scooped them up! I took 3 good dresses that will definitely get their wear.  

My favorite dress is the one I decided to wear today to work! It got so many compliments so I knew I had put together an awesome outfit, which is always good to hear!

My Outfit:

Giraffe Print Dress: Loft, couple of years old

Denim Jacket: Gap Outlet

Belt: Urban Outfitters

Shoes: Target

This outfit has 3 of my favorite all time pieces: Denim Jacket, Belt, & Shoes.  These three pieces can be worn many different ways so as a reader you might be seeing them a good bit in posts!  I don't know if you would still be able to find them in stores because I have had all three of these pieces for about 3 years now.  

Do you have any favorite pieces that you tend to wear multiple times?  If so, let me know!
