What I'm Wearing

  • 40’s Inspired Top

    If there is anything I love as much as watching a classic film, it’s wearing clothes inspired by the silver screen era! I found this chic floral top in the clearance section at Kohl’s for only $9! Just seeing the fluttering cap sleeves and feeling the lightweight material gave me vintage vibes. When I tried this top on, I was immediately taken back to a different time! My favorite touch in this top is the delicate, feminine sleeves. For a while now I have felt the pulse of an older yet somehow modernized style trying to surge back into fashion. Maybe we will have a little taste of The Great…

  • Neon Stripes

    If I had to pick a top five or ten favorite colors, neon green would be somewhere in that group! Unlike its neighboring colors, like construction worker yellow, neon green as a color steers clear of tacky and navigates more towards fun. The navy blue stripe really balance out the bright green in this top. In addition, the three little blue buttons you may notice on my shoulder are such a fun little detail to mark this as a classic addition to the wardrobe! I decided a matching pair of navy shorts from Old Navy with this ensemble. One more thing I love about this top is the quarter length…

  • The Knotted Romper

    What better way to welcome the new month than with a cute romper? This is one of my favorite rompers in my closet! I bought it at the tail end of last summer, maybe that is why I am so fond of it for this time of year. The print vertical styled print is one of my favorite aspects of this romper, I’m also a sucker for anything with stripes! The sleeveless look keeps you cool in the heat while the print keeps the romper interesting. My favorite feature is hands down the knot in the front, though! Not many rompers have a knot to tie so this versatile feature…

  • Gingham Tank

    Not to long ago, I wrote a blog post calling gingham one of the biggest prints of the summer. This prediction did not disappoint! I found this cute tank top at Target. The ruffle was one of my favorite features about this tank when I bought it. However, the first day I wore this top there was a bit of a breeze outside and I had that ruffle flying in my face. It provided for some pretty funny blooper photos though so I was fine with it. Sometimes the wind is our friend and sometimes it is not. Either way, this gingham look is classic and a total win whether…

  • Tommy Hilfiger Striped Top

    Similar to my look: Top        Pants      Shoes If this top is giving you nautical vibes, you are not alone. I pair it with white capris and basic white Sperry shoes. This whole outfit made me really want to go boating for the weekend! This top is from Tommy Hilfiger and is one of my new favorites! He designs clothes to flatter women in everyday. Tommy’s designs are consistently the perfect balance between classy and on trend! Like I said earlier, my mind immediately went to the white capris when deciding how to style this top. It just felt like the perfect way to complement the…

  • ILYMIX Sunglasses

    Something that may surprise you to learn about me (or maybe not) is that I am a little clumsy with my sunglasses. Naturally I a gravitate towards the cheapest pairs I can find because I know that I will either drop or scratch them. So when I opened my mailbox to see a box from the ILYMIX brand I could barely contain my excitement! The first think I noticed when I saw these sunglasses was how well made and sturdy they are! I felt like I could trust myself so much more wearing and using these sunglasses without breaking them. Besides all of that, the styles are so one trend…

  • “Women” Old Navy T-Shirt

    Similar to my look: T-shirt    Jacket   Sunglasses  Pants I am all about female empowerment!! That is why when I saw this tee at Old Navy, there was no doubt in my mind I was going to purchase it! The light shade of pink/purple perfectly contrasts the black jacket and pants I am wearing. This is a tee you could wearing easily when the weather transitions in to autumn. A pair of black skinny jeans and a cool biker jacket would be one way your could pair this top! Another way you could go would be with navy skinny jeans and a nice denim jacket! However you style it,…

  • JORD Watches

    If you know me, or if have been reading my blog for a while, you know how much I love a good watch. I have mentioned how it is a staple accessory that everyone should own. If you are searching for a place to find your perfect staple watch, look no further! JORD Watches sent me the Walnut & Vintage Rose of their Cassia Series, and I am in love! The craftsmanship of the beautiful wooden box that my JORD Watch arrived in made me swoon! I love the natural look and feel of this watch! The dark chocolate shade of brown that comes from the Walnut wood of this…

  • “Kind is the New Cool” Tee

    Similar to my look:         T-shirt      Shorts      Birkenstocks Haven’t you heard? Kind is the new cool! Actually, being kind is always cool, but this t-shirt was too cute not to purchase! This inspirational, classic white tee came from a little boutique on my college campus, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champiagn. The shop is called Fira Boutique, and I fell in love with their clothes the minute I saw the store front! It is a quant little place located a little outside of the heart of campus, but all in all it is one of my favorite shops. If you go to UIUC,…

  • Red, White, & Fabulous!

    Similar to my look: Top         Shorts This year has absolutely flown by! I can’t believe it was the fourth of July! (Yes, I did mean to rhyme) I decided to sport a tank this year with a pink/red tint to it and a unstructured peplum bottom. Coupled with cutoff, denim shorts and I was ready to roll! It was a rather hot fourth of July this year here in the Midwest, so the sleeveless look kept me as cool as a cucumber. This look works for way more than just the fourth of July, though. It would be a stunning ensemble to a picnic, family outing,…
