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?

Printed Pants Take 2

Since I bought these printed pants from Loft last month, I have been trying to figure out how to style them other than the first time I wore them.  

I couldn't decide on how crazy I wanted to style these pants.  So I tried these options:

I thought about pairing my off-white cream colored top with my pants but I didn't have the courage to actually wear it.  I think if I would have had some encouragement from someone I might have worn it but I chickened out.  I thought the two different textures went well together.  

I also thought about pairing the pants with a green jeweled colored blouse.

  But I decided to go with a more casual, blue blouse.  

My Outfit

Blouse: Loft

Pants: Loft

Shoes: Payless Shoes

Do you ladies think I made the right decision?

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?

Nude Hues

Happy Tuesday ladies!

This past weekend & Monday has been very busy with work, my sister & mom coming to visit, & working on a new adventure with other bloggers for the LPF Magazine.  

For Sunday, I wanted an outfit that would be more comfortable than anything.  I paired my white cropped Loft pants with an off-white silk blouse.  Pairing different hues can be tricky but can be done effectively!     

For jewelry, I paired these big antique earrings.  I found these at the Country Dollar, a family owned store in Tallahassee.  Everything in their store is a $1, it is definitely a good store to get merchandise to mix and match!  They have two locations in Tallahassee, so if you get a chance you should definitely go check them out!

I hope everyone's week has started off good!

Blazers in the Summertime

Happy Friday ladies!! 

For the past week, Tallahassee has been HOT.  The weather on Monday hit around 92 degrees and it has only cooled down a couple of degrees throughout the week.  So instead of dressing in a tee shirt to work (like I always do), I decided to dress up my black tank with an old blazer I found in my closet.   

The blazer is perfect for this weather since it is 100% Linen, however I had a problem with the wrinkles.  The iron and I had a pretty hard battle but I think I conquered all the wrinkles in the blazer. 

I paired this lightweight blazer with my favorite pair of cropped pants from Loft.  Cropped pants have never been a necessity of mine but ever since I tried the Curvy fit, I have fallen in love with them!     

 

I found this cute bird necklace from Target yesterday, when I went in for a new planner.. I came out with a new necklace & earrings plus the planner.  But anyways, that is a whole different story.  The earrings & necklace were in a pack together for only $4.99, so if you are in love with this, I would definitely go pick it up!  It's definitely a steal.  

My Outfit:

Blazer: Loft, 1 year ago

Tank: Target

Cropped Pants: Loft

Shoes: Payless Shoes

Necklace: Target 

What is the latest steal that you have found?  Let me know, so I can check it out!  I hope everyone has a lovely Friday!

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!!
