One Top 2 Looks.

    I love fun tanks and camis, that are perfect for layering under blazers or over different tops! They make your wardrobe easier to mix and match. I wanted to give an example of a top that I like to wear a few different ways... So here ya go, outfit one with the blazer has a dressier look, where outfit two is the layered look which is much more casual. One top 2 looks;)

The Snow is Back, Boot Time!

    I knew we hadn't seen the last of old man winter here in Michigan. The sunshine has been wonderful, but now that the trees are covered in their icy layers it's equally beautiful out (just MUCH colder). It was time to pull out the boots again...this time my Tretorn wellies. I love these boots, because they are cute with a casual outfit, and also have a built in warm lining so my feet were toasty all day long. I paired them with a black and grey striped Testament top with a flowy fit, which is perfect paired with skinny denim leggings. I layered up some necklaces, mixing silver and gold to add a little more excitement to this simple and casual outfit.

How many of you have a pair of wellies you wear in snowy/rainy weather?

Happy Friday Friends!

one a bit larger.

Light Jeans and Winter.

    Some people save light wash jeans just for the Spring and Summer months. I, however decided to pull my favorite pair of light wash, Hudson, ferris flares out to wear. If paired with the correct tops I think light wash jeans can be worn more than just in the Spring & Summer.
    I decided to wear a chunky knit sweater to give my look a little more of a wintery feel. I also opted to stick to wearing a neutral oatmeal color, since color wise that matches a lighter jean better than say a dark, bold color. (notice it's a high- low sweater- the trend I posted about a few days ago) I paired a me too, olive green moccasin with my outfit, which kept the whole outfit in the neutral earth tones. Lastly I kept my jewelry simple by wearing my favorite dogeared heart necklace, which is very delicate and small.
So pull those light jeans out of your closet... They work to wear in the winter too!

Not the easiest to tell in this picture...but the 

style of sweater I'm wearing is the high-low

 (shorter in front longer in the back).  I paired it with a 

long cream cami for layering purposes.

Jeans are the Ferris Flare by Hudson purchased at Jb and me (still available).

My favorite dogeared necklace. So simple and cute.

Little me too moccasins.  These flats are also cute with skinny jeans cuffed:)

Butter polish.

    Sunday afternoons always seem like a good time to venture into Ulta to find new and exciting beauty products.
    Today I was on the hunt for the perfect nude/pale pink polish, and I struck gold once I found the nail color line called Butter. I had never tried this brand before, however I've seen it recently in some of my magazines.
    The salesgirl suggested I also purchase the nail foundation base coat, along with the hardwear top coat (which I needed anyways). The polish color I ended up with is called pink ribbon and it really is the perfect neutral color. They also offer a matte topcoat that you can layer over any polish, and it immediately transforms the color into being matte, which is a really big trend right now as well (cant wait to try that too).
I love how it looks on, and suggest you all check out this great line, it's carried at Ulta in Holland!

The High-Low Trend.

    Recently in magazines, along with at Jb and me I've been seeing a lot of the high-low skirt and dress look (shorter in the front, longer in the back). This is a great option for someone who likes a little more length or just a wants a fun new style to try!

    My dress is an example of this style. I've paired it with a SB green suede belt (these can be found at Jb and me in a ton of colors), a vintage gold necklace, fishnet nude tights (express), and my sixty seven boots.

High-Low dress

Decided to add a green belt for a little extra

color.

Fishnet nude tights...I don't care for solid nude hose so instead

I choose to wear these.

Pairing Bold Colors.

    I was inspired this morning by my friend Abby's outfit that I had posted about on my blog yesterday. She had paired bold colors together in her outfit almost giving it the color block effect. My outfit today isn't bright, but I was able to take two bold colors (rust and green) and pair them together for somewhat of the same effect. The shrug I'm wearing has flecks of gold in it, so I chose to wear a gold necklace to tie it all together. I added some texture to the outfit by wearing a lace top under my shrug...it looked better than just wearing a basic cami.

Lace tank: Free people
Skirt: anthropologie
Shrug: Jb and me ( a couple years ago)
Boots: FOUND

I tucked the lace top in since the skirt is pretty high waisted.

Lace is so pretty and lady like:)

My favorite vintage boots

Shrugs are great items to bring into your wardrobe, because you can

wear them over dresses, with skirts, or to turn your summery tanks into

items that can be worn year round!

The Lady Has style.

    My friend Abby's outfit was so adorable I had to make my blog post of the day about it. She came into the store today for a quick visit, and I was instantly obsessed and jealous of her look...check it out for yourself...she's one stylish lady!
