Do Be a Slouch

With all this love for jeggings and the skinny jeans, we need some tops that balance out that booty, if ya know what I mean. I used to think these types of blouses only worked for your 80’s Halloween costume, but I have to say they are growing on me fast. So, are you a slouch?

To In-Vest or Not To In-Vest?

Okay ladies, I need some opinions here. If you haven’t already noticed, faux fur vests seem to be a big trend for the fall. I think they are so cute, but part of me is hesitant to purchase one for the following reason:  I can’t decide if I would

A) Look like an idiot because I live in south Texas (even though I wouldn’t wear it until it actually gets cold)
B) Look like I am trying to be a Viking
C) Look totally adorable

Never a Team Player

I must admit I have never played on a legit sports team in my life… I once did a very brief stint in my childhood as a fill-in outfielder for a  softball team and quickly realized I was much better suited for dancing and gymnastics. In fact, my jersey that day was number 00, which happened to be very well suited for my performance. This doesn’t keep me from enjoying the baseball uniform look of a raglan tee, in fact I love them. Here are some super cute versions.

Pretty Things at Every Price: Bracelets

Last week was earrings, and this week is bracelets…looks like there’s something for everyone’s taste and budget!

  1. Der: Metal Gem Cuff, I love the distressed bronze color of this bracelet and it’s a statement piece that you can add to a simple outfit for more flair for only $4.00!
  2. Court: Retro Chartreuse Bangle, Love love the resin retro look to this one. I also think that color yellow is a great accent to almost any outfit.
  3. AK: Turquoise Howlite Cross, I’m pretty sure everything I’m going to pick in regards to jewelry is going to have turquoise in it.  I would totally add this bracelet for my pop of color in an otherwise basic black top and jeans outfit.
  4. Sarah: Silver and Leather Wrap Bracelet, This is a really cute and simple bracelet that I could see myself wearing on a daily basis…something perfect and a little edgy for fall!
