Sheer dresses are always a little hard to wear because they require extra layers, but they are tons of fun. Today I wore a sheer print dress from H&M. Underneath I wore a black tank and a black cotton mini with black leggings. Looking back on it, the dress would also be cute with a belt at the waist and with boots. Well, another day, another outfit.
Fun cardigans are one of my favorite things for Spring. I love cardigans in general, but light cardigans with fun material or design I love love love for Spring. Today I wore a cardigan with almost an eyelet design in a light blue/ gray color (Forever 21) over a white v neck tee. I accessorized with a black cameo necklace from Target. It's one of the coolest finds I have found in the Target accessory section. Happy Friday
Today I was definitely feeling back in the swing of things and I actually felt like getting dressed today! I wore a sheer dress from Urban Outfitters (clearance rack a few years back), black tank underneath and black fitted skirt underneath (American Apparel). On top I have a long beige cardigan from Target with brown boots (also Target) to tie it all together. Long cardigans from Target can be such a great basic. They are long enough for a dress or tunic and they surprisingly hold up well after washes! Wardrobe must!
Long time no blog. Due to an unforeseen bout with the stomach flu, here I am six pounds lighter and four days later. Though I could have posted photos of my pajama collection, I thought putting my days on hold would be more appropriate and a little more flattering. As you can imagine I have been a hot mess the past few days.
Sometimes the cutest things come in... the wrong packages. Today I wore a black and white patterned tunic that turns out to be a swim cover up I found on the clearance rack at Target. Initially I saw it in the 75% off clearance section and thought the tunic/ dress was a bargain at 6.08. When the cashier rung it up at the register, the item description said "cover up." Either way, it is now officially a part of my wardrobe. I definitely could have jazzed up the outfit with some brightly colored jewelry, but was totally not in the mood this morning to think. Sigh. Another day, another outfit.
One of the joys of being a teacher is being able to wear my favorite hello kitty t shirt and getting compliments from all of my students! Today I put on my vintage style hello kitty t shirt that I found a while back at H & M. I paired this with distressed Levis. As for the kicks, I kept it playful with zebra print flats from Rocket Dog. Definitely earned some playground cred. today!
Today I wore a white drop waist tunic (from H&M) with black leggings, up to the knee boots (Zappos shoe outlet) and long black cardigan (from Loft). To accessorize with the black and white combo, I wore a gold necklace with a orange ribbon tie. It was a unique find from the clearance section of World Market. Sometimes it can be really fun to accessorize simple black and white combos, especially with pops of colors! What can be more perfect for Spring!
Sheer floral has always been my favorite! The sheer fabric can make any floral print look cute and just a bit dressy. It's also a huge look for fall, especially in neutrals. Today I went with a flowy dark blue and purple sheer top (from Nordstrom) and black skinny jeans (from Loft). I accessorized with a pewter colored knot necklace.
Sometimes Sunday can be my favorite day of the week. For the obvious reason: a day off. For the less obvious reason: a day dress as casual as you want. Today I went for a super comfy plaid flannel shirt from Target. These shirts got super huge this past fall and they were everywhere for cheap! To add a little dress to this dress down, I put some boots over my Target skinny jeans. Cheers to a casual Sunday!
Today I had tons of errands to run and friends to meet after so I wore something that would serve two purposes. I wore a colorful plaid skirt ($5 at Nordstrom Rack) with a black tank and cardigan. To accessorize a little, I put on a yellow ribbon belt. Happy Saturday!
Talk about a blast from the past! Today I wore a floral print shirt from American Eagle (circa 2004) and a full denim, circle skirt. They were definitely sandwiched between other items in my closet, where clothes often become victims of time. Finding these pieces helped to renew my motivation for this hundred day project. Clothes can constantly be renewed and redesigned
Sometimes all you need is a good scarf to keep an outfit from being too plain. Today, I wore a flowy sweater top from Forever 21 with medium wash jeans and up to the knee boots from the Zappos shoe outlet (yes it exists, but in Kentucky). I accessorized with a paisley printed scarf. This added some color and a fun print, which contrasted with the plain darker colors I was wearing. You always have to have a stash of printed scarves to save your day!
I think I was meant to be a teacher. Why? Well, I really love to dress like one. It's my in my nature. I can't leave the house without a cardigan. I love flowers and apples, both in print and in plant. And my favorite outfit is a comfy dress + sweater combo. Today my class took class pictures and I played the part as teacher. I wore this simple floral print dress with small ruffle detail in the front (from Target). On top I have an even simpler gray cardigan (from H&M) and black tights under it all. A+ for effort?
There's nothing like a cute tunic to brighten up your day! Today I wore a 3/4 sleeve tunic with floral and paisley print from H & M. It was a clearance find for $5. On the hanger, it looks hideous, but paired with boots and leggings it doesn't look half bad. It would also look good belted to add some shape. Some times you really need to take risks and try things on. You never know... even the strangest things can be a good addition to your wardrobe!
Today I went nautical with a little boho touch. I wore a gray striped pocket tee (from Target) with a navy ruffled cardigan (from Loft). I'm a huge fan of tasteful ruffles. It adds femininity to tailored styles, menswear and casual outfits. I love them! On top, I wore a gray boho headband with metal detailing. This was a surprising clearance find from World Market. World Market is the place for unique accessories. When in need of statement pieces, you have to check out World Market, you will not be disappointed!
Today I was inspired by the menswear trend. I wore a white poplin tunic from H&M, which was a feminine take on a classic man's white dress shirt. To add a more feminine touch, I accessorized with a yellow scarf (tied like a tie) from Target. Underneath, I wore leggings and up to the knee boots. I decided to go with boots because of today's gloomy weather, but this outfit would be super cute with flat or heeled oxfords, It would totally play up the menswear theme that I just love, love, love!
Saturdays are usually really busy with errands, lunch dates, dinner dates and going out for the night. That's why its important to be versatile with my clothes. Today I had a Mother's Day lunch, a 4 year old birthday party, and a co-workers housewarming party to go to. This meant I had to choose an outfit that would be good for every activity. I chose a Le Tigre mini with small lollipop print with black tights, a simple black tank and a kelly green cardigan on top. It was both comfortable and appropriate for my busy day.
Happy Friday! Today I wore a plaid trapeze top with black skinny jeans. I know a lot of people aren't huge fans of trapeze tops because they can make you look pregnant when you're not. This may be the case, but I love a cute trapeze top paired with skinny jeans. The skinnys kind of balance out the volume of the swingy trapeze to make a cute, casual look. Perfect for a Friday!
Today I was inspired by the neutrals trend. I wore light khaki shorts from Target and a mauve/ taupe colored top from H&M. To keep with the light trend, I went with a white Marc watch and tan shoes. I was really surprised how the colors of the outfit worked so well. The colors were so spring! This trend is definitely a keeper!
Sometimes you can find the best things when you're in the mood to look. Today I wore a dress that I found hidden in a sale rack in Anthropologie. It was actually part of their intimates section super marked down for $29 (this is super cheap for Anthro... steal!) It's decorated asymmetrically (with chiffon ruffles on one shoulder and side of the dress) which gives it a unique touch. This is one of the greatest reasons why people love Anthro... it's classy, unique and super cute! I guess it was meant to be a nightgown, but it has worked for me as a causal (and comfy) dress. In the end, I've found that you can really benefit from looking past the what is and instead look to the what could be when it comes to your wardrobe.
Classic white and navy blue make a very clean combination. Today I wore a pleated navy circle skirt from H & M and a crochet tank top from Loft. To jazz up the basics I wore, I put on a slightly metallic gray flower clip in my hair. Because the flower clip was pretty large, I left out accessories. As they say, less is more. This lets the flower clip speak for itself, adding a fun spring time feel to the outfit. 
I'm 1/5 of the way done! 80 more days left and I haven't repeated anything yet. But, I have a feeling that it's only going to get harder. I'm definitely getting the itch to buy some summer dresses especially in this hot weather. :(
It was the perfect day to be in the sun! Headed out for a county street fair, I have on a knee-length tie- dye skirt from Target, a simple racerback tank also from Target, and some metallic snakeskin print t-strap sandals from... Target. To accessorize, I put on a purple woven boho head wrap. My mom found it at another street fair so it seemed appropriate to wear today. Normally when I wear head wraps, I opt for the skinny strands. Recently, I've been really admiring the bold thicker head wraps. They add a cute spring/ summer vibe, especially in statement colors.
