3 Ways to Rock Your Frock: Style Remix

Hello Readers! This week has been crazy busy! I have been job hunting(which ended successfully :]), completing illustrator projects (which I will share in another post next week), and getting organized.
Today, I am sharing with you my love for this Forever 21 dress and a Lauren Conrad find from Plato's closet. I start with the Forever 21 dress. It's a pretty simple outfit. Hat Sunnies, dress, tights and booties. An easy, comfy, girly outfit on the go.

Next, Throw on a printed cardigan. It's still fairly simple and fun but a little more funky. I chose this coldwater creek cardy I thrifted many moons ago and it is one of my absolute favorite items to wear this fall.

Last is look Number 3! Dress on Dress. I think it is pretty wise especially in the colder states to layer up. Texas is getting really cool outside, almost like east coast weather and I couldn't be happier! I paired my LC dress with My Forever 21 dress with a cardigan and belted it! I personally enjoy this look. Its a print mixing and matching dream! You can also layer this look with some chunky knit socks to fully complete a warm and fuzzy, yet chic look without going too crazy with color. Although, I think the more color THE BETTER!

HERE ARE ALL THE OUTFIT DETAILS ALONG WITH A PHOTO OF MY FAVORITE PHOTOGRAPHER AND I. HAPPY FRIDAY AND HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

2 Ways to Wear Your Denim: Style Remix

Hello AGAIN! Today's remix is all about Denim. I got some nifty colored denim from Plato's Closet. (once my style secret) I wanted to remix it today and with the cooler temps I was able to. I paired it with a collared shirt and a vintage hawaiian print baby doll shift dress I got from Noirohio Vintage back in 2008. I love this print and this dress. I also got to rock my leopard print hat that I haven't worn in forever. I forget where I got that one. I am pretty sure I got it for Christmas or something of the sort.
-Here's how I wore it in a September Blog Post with an orange cardigan, floral shirt and boots.-

So, your denim outfit doesn't always have to be a drab jeans and tee look. I am always looking for new ways to wear my closet favorites. You can dress up your denim and look fab in no time! Just find your favorite denim and a few of your favorite dresses then, match them together and voile! New outfit!

On another note I just got home from a lovely dinner with my darling. We went to get pho at our local vietnamese noodle house. Delish! It is always a good choice. Fast Service and delicious food for a great price. Here are the rest of my oufit photos and dinner date pictures.

Happy Wednesday!

Finally, I have officially received my grants for my last semesters in college! Yay! I'm almost done and I couldn't be happier! Hence, the picture below. ;)

Style Remix: Fall Florals

Hello Readers! So, today is Style Remix Wednesday as you may know. I have been patiently waiting for cooler weather here in Texas but I know realistically speaking, it may never show up. Probably not until January. However, the past few days have been rainy and muggy but slightly cooler. I picked out one of my fall faves from my Plato's Haul a couple weeks back. I paired it with this slouchy gold vintage lace jumper I got from a massive thrifting haul here. Lace really softens any look and gives off a hint of girly. I was so excited to wear it today with these amazing knee length lace up boots Dan's mom gave me. I think this dress will be making a comeback later on in cooler temps with tights, chunky cardis and maybe a heel. I don't know yet. Seems to me all my outfit posts just sort of happen. Whatever I feel in my closet best suits my mood is what I wear. I hope you lovelies enjoyed this one although very brief.

Style Remix: Cool Down

Hello! It's Style Remix Wednesday! Today's post is about being fall ready! Now in most areas the weather is already cool enough to layer. But the South is fighting back the cold. So, one must persevere and switch up the tones. I have previously touched on how to fall up an outfit in an older post. But here is how I am doing it. This floral number was a Plato's closet find in the summer. Its a strapless dress. I normally don't go for any fabric splicing but this dress meshes it well. I wore this dress a few times this summer without a cardigan and with wedges.

(Excuse the terrible picture, this was the only document I had from when I wore it.)

The mustard color can go year round which is why I love it for my wardrobe. Texas only has two seasons: Unbearably HOT and cool. So, my choices pretty much have to be light materials, no lining and seasonal color patterns to flow with the changing seasons of elsewhere, US. I paired the dress with a fuchsia/plum cardigan, electric blue head scarf, belt and blue boots. The sunnies I am wearing were an awesome find at my local Big Lots. I was utterly shocked to see THIS style on the rack at check out while purchasing a new mattress with Dan. I had to pick them up! They were only $5!! I am so happy with them, definitely a new favorite.  In other news, I had a pretty productive day with Dan, running errands and taking care of business while still having some time to stop and share this look with you all. Happy Wednesday!

Style Remix: Final Fall Transition

Happy Wednesday Readers! So we all know that before we know it summer will be far behind us and fall will be in full swing. But this season it seems like summer is trying to hold on for a while longer. (some places more than others) What do you do? We are all excited for fall layers and colors but the season's not quite here yet. In this final transition to your fall wardrobe, there are a few key summer pieces you may want to stick around, but how do you get away with wearing it during the fall? Well here's news to you! You don't have to pack up every summer item just yet. Chambray is one of the most season friendly pieces a girl can have. Whether its a dress or a buttoned down, you can always bet on chambray to save the day.

Here's how to make it work.
This plaid chambray dress is adorable for summer time and is great when paired with a pop-color flat or white. But, you can also "fall it down" by pairing it with a light knit cardigan with an autumn tone to it. (i.e. Burnt orange, deep purple, mustard, navy, or another neutral color.) Add some tights.(Patchwork tights, or an opaque bold color like burgundy, brown or my periwinkle colored tights.) The shoes are really up to you but stick with darker neutrals and play with your options. Ankle boots, brouges with knee highs, or pumps would look great. I paired my chambray outfit with grey vintage Mary Jane pumps I found while thrift during the summer. It sets a scholastic tone with the change in the seasons and gets you pumped for those cooler days to come. My updo was inspired by a tutorial I found on pinterest. Its super easy, really comfy and added a vintage feel to my look. I hope this helps you find a medium between the seasons. What summer pieces do you love that you can't seem to part with?

Cardigan: Mossimo
Gingham Plaid Chambray Dress: Paper Crane via Plato's Closet
Periwinkle Patchwork Tights: JcPenney
Vintage Mary Jane Pumps: Thrifted
Squirrel Necklace: Handmade
(The item I am holding in my hand is a photo album I found while thrifting. I think I will be printing some photos for it soon.)

Casual Monday

Happy Monday ya'll! Today I met up with my bestest buddy of 8 years Ashlee for some Starbucks.(can you believe that?) I had the lovely new Chocolate Chai Tea Latte Iced and boy was it delicious! We talked for a while about girly stuff, boys, relationships, clothing, fall fashion and future endeavors. We took pictures and after today's rain the was a rainbow at sunset. It was awesome! To be completely honest here I don't think there's a female on the planet who gets me like she does. We are literally like sisters at this point. Anyway, we became friends in college years ago and we share some great memories together and I am sure we have many more (probably even better than the last 8 years)to come. On another note, I have two things I'd like to share about this outfit post!
One: These pants are a size 4. SIZE 4!!! OH ME OH MY! I have not been this size in about 5 years and I am so glad I am back to my normal healthy weight.
Two: I am headed to a wicked concert tomorrow and can't wait to share my adventure with you guys when I get back. (The secret will be revealed in 2 days :P)
Alas, I say, Happy 8 years Best Friend! :D
