In with the Oversized

February 15, 2013 by

I have ALWAYS been a person who prefers their clothing on the looser side.  My husband CAN NOT stand this about me… he would like for me to wear a bandage dress around the house all day every day. That is just not me. Right now I am really digging the trend of the oversized tee! It fits right into my comfort zone and allows me to stay right on trend at the same time. Here are a few that I think would look pretty good hanging in my closet.

Target, Short Sleeved Tee with Sheer Front
Old Navy, Pocket Crewneck Tee
Forever 21, Oversized Striped Tee
Gap, Luxe Jersey Baseball Tee
Forever 21, Colorblocked Dolman Top
LOFT, Star Jacquard Wedge Tee Blouse

Plaid Mad

October 10, 2011 by

Plaid is definitely on my agenda for fall/winter. I’m seeing it everywhere and many times its in conjunction with ruffles (win!) or in a length that I can wear it with jeggings or leggings and my booty won’t be on display for all the world to see (win win!). Will you be wearing plaid in the near future and if so, what are you getting?

  1. Women’s Regular Long Sleeve Flannel Ruffle Popover Shirt, Landsend
  2. Lurex Plaid Ruffle Shirt, Express
  3. Plaid bayou tunic, J.Crew
  4. Longline Plaid Button Up w/Belt, Forever 21
  5. Urban Renewal Vintage Overdyed Plaid Flannel Boyfriend Shirt, Urban Outfitters
  6. Women’s Classic Flannel Shirts, Old Navy

My Inner Jersey Girl

July 18, 2011 by

I like the show Jerseylicious. I’m not going to hang my head in shame over it. It’s about hair and make-up and it’s ridiculously dressed ladies and their drama. I watch it, shamlessly. They love an animal print on that show. And while I don’t plaster my walls with cheetah print murals, it really is growing on me in a way I never knew it could. Look at these cute, cute things that are oh so cheetah, but only maybe a small percent Jersey.

  1. Forever 21, Blouson Leopard Top
  2. Charlotte Russe, Animal Print T Back Top
  3. Forever 21, Leopard and Zipper Top
  4. Charlotte Russe, Animal Print Chiffon Tank
  5. Forever 21, Leopard Criss Cross Top
  6. Forever 21, Burn Out Leopard Print Tee

Everyday Turquoise

July 14, 2011 by

I saw these the other day on Pinterest and could not love them more.  I think they’d be a great alternative to the diamond stud as an everyday kind of earring.  (at least in my turquoise obsessed world)  Of course when I went to the link they were sold out.  I went on the hunt for some similar and these are some that I found.

  1. Socialite Studs, Forever 21
  2. Juicy Couture Pyramid Pave Stud Earrings, Bloomingdales
  3. Sterling Silver Turquoise Austrian Crystal Stud Earrings, Overstock
  4. Gold Tone Turquoise White CZ Trim Stud Earring, Amazon
  5. Anzie Royale Turquoise Stud Earrings in White Topaz, Max & Chloe
  6. Sterling Silver Square Synthetic Turquoise Stud Earrings, Silver Speck

Stripes Even on My FEET.

Speaking of stripes and my love for them, these. Combining my romance with stripes AND a flat sandal? Delicious, I tell ya.

Shorty Love: Stripes

May 10, 2011 by

We are ablazin hot in these parts, so I need to show a little or a lotta leg  in Texas this time of year. These are on the tad bit teeny weenie side of shorts for me, but  A-DOR-ABLE. I have no idea what kind of striped flavored crack these advertising execs have put out there, but I’m smoking it. That’s for sure. It’s an addiction.  And for $13.50 I think I can make the investment.
