Sweat Pants Alternative

May 24, 2010 by

I used to watch Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style every week until they ripped it from me like a thief in the night. Tim preached that every woman needed a sweat pants alternative. Something that feels like your PJs , but something that would be ok to be seen in at the grocery store.  I’ve been looking for a sweat pants alternative lately and I’ve found some very intriguing and non-sweat pantsy options.  What’s your sweat pants alternative?

  1. Old Navy, Slub Knit Tiered Skirt
  2. Forever21, Linen Lounge Pants
  3. Walmart, Tie Dye Dress

Purple People Eater

May 20, 2010 by

I have never really been a pink type of girl. I like pink, but I don’t LOVE pink. When I was little, my favorite color was purple. I wanted purple everything. My first car was even purple (no idea what I was thinking) So, purple is still near and dear to my heart. Purple looks great accented with oranges or greens and my personal fav turquoise!

The Cover Up

May 11, 2010 by

I’m not generally a huge fan of getting in a bathing suit, so when I do, I gotta have a cover-up.  And seeing as how I might be in a swimsuit a little more this summer because my kiddo loves the hell out of the baby pool, I’m probably going to need a stylin’ cover-up.

  2. Dillards, Raisins Twisty Strap Coverup
  3. Macys, Ralph Lauren Darcy Tunic Coverup
  4. Victoria’s Secret, Terry Tiered empire dress
