• What I Wore in Rome Italy

    The whirlwind trip to Rome, Italy, has come and gone. There were so many amazing aspects to this particular trip that made it very unique, but I will cover all of that in the day-by-day detailed blog posts I will publish very soon! Today I want to focus on the outfits that I wore and the clothing items I put a lot of faith in to keep all of my travel photos timeless. Since the trip I took to Rome was in January, I had to really balance the whole “It’s winter!” aspect of the weather along with the “I don’t want these travel photos to be THAT dated looking.”…

  • What I’m Wearing for Christmas Eve 2019

    There are several ways to honor the holiday season using fashion, but often times the choices are very limited. I mean, how many ways can you wear red and green? Well, I have a fun new take on a Christmas Eve outfit that works for the holidays, but it can also be just as cute outside of this specific time of year. I decided to wear a red sweater this year to really embrace one of the main colors of this season. To add some contrast I paired the bright red with my timeless black Guess puffer jacket.

  • What I’m Wearing for Easter 2019

    Happy Easter, everyone! This was always one of my favorite holidays growing up and even today I still love the atmosphere and purpose of getting together to celebrate with family. Unfortunately for me, the Midwestern spring weather gives me a lot of wind! Hence the wearing pants and not a dress. There will be plenty of time for dresses this summer when things warm up and the wind slows down. This blue sweater came along just in time for the Easter holiday! I found it on sale at Old Navy and it was featured in my post about the neon trend. Of course, this blue isn’t necessarily neon, but I…
