Outfit of the Day

IMG_0678

New ImageIMG_0681IMG_0673IMG_0684IMG_0691I just adore Charlotte Russe lately! This cozy blanket scarf and polished striped dress are both from there. I am always surprised by the high-quality items that come out of Charlotte Russe. The dress is made of a thick material that is long-lasting and nice enough to wear to work and the scarf is massive and incredibly soft.

I styled these two pieces together because I love mixing prints when I can – it’s difficult to pull off sometimes but looks incredibly chic when done correctly. I threw of my favorite tights and some Hunter Boots and the outfit was complete! Perfect for running errands on a rainy day!

Thrifty Thursday

462I love, love, LOVE layering. I’ve been on the hunt for a bright sweater and button-up combo for the longest time, so I was thrilled when I found both of these at my local Value Village thrift shop. I love this adorable layering combo! The blue plaid button-up from Old Navy pops perfectly against the hot pink polka dot sweater from J. Crew. For just $10 total, this was a steal!

I’m also wearing my favorite statement necklace from Jane, Hudson jeans, Michael Kors bag, Kate Spade watch, Sofft booties, and ring from Vintage Stamp Jewels.

Cozy Essentials

I’m sporting another beautiful knit headband from Ashly Wilcox today. This one is probably my favorite because it’s the most cozy. In my other post, I talked about how amazing knit headbands like this are as an alternative to hats or earmuffs for keeping your head warm! They’re so fashionable and don’t destroy your cute hairstyle.

I am wearing a cozy sweater from my local thrift store, Charlotte Russe blanket scarf which I wear almost everyday (similar), Hudson jeans, Steve Madden boots (similar), and a Michael Kors bag.

Cold Weather Chic

3

9It’s been an adventure moving to Eastern Washington and adjusting to the frigid weather in Pullman. I’ve struggled with coming to terms with the fact that practical fashion is not always the cutest. I love expressing my personality through fashion and I was determined to not allow cold d temps take that away from me.

One super cute solution I’ve discovered is knit headbands. They provide all the benefits that ear muffs or even a hat might supply but in a chic and fashionable way. I especially love this headband with an adorable bow from an Etsy store called Ashly Wilcox. The owner, Ashly, creates handmade knit accessories like this one and I’m absolutely in love!

If you read my blog, you know I love supporting small businesses. Ashly is a 20 year-old Central Michigan University student who is perusing a doctorate in audiology. Completely self-taught, Ashly’s store has been an incredible success. She’s been thrilled as her hobby and passion have collided with a business. There’s nothing better than making a profit doing what you love. Be sure to check out her store because I promise, knit headbands like the ones she makes will last you forever and keep your ears toasty warm when it’s miserable outside. I have two knit headbands from from her store and wear them almost daily when it’s cold!

Theta Winter Formal

IMG_7164

IMG_7164This past Saturday was my sorority’s winter formal. It was a absolute blast and such a special night as it was mine and my boyfriend’s first formal together. Even though we’ve been together for over two years, we’ve never been able to attend a formal together because we went to different universities. Since my transfer, we’ve been able to do so many things we couldn’t before. It’s been an incredible joy to share these things with him. We spent the night laughing and dancing – falling in love with each other all over again. It was a perfect night!

The dress I’m wearing is BY FAR my favorite dress I’ve ever owned. You can get it at The Flaunt Shop for only $60 here! Such a steal for such a gorgeous dress. I felt like a princess! I also wore my Luxy Hair extensions so that I could really feel like a mermaid. With my Jessica Simpson pumps (similar here), the look came together perfectly. My handsome boyfriend is wearing a charcoal Alfani suit and a gray/silver Calvin Klein tie.
