Pantone Color of the Year: Valiant Poppy + Why You Need It

September 25, 2018

As luck would have it, I happened to pick up this dress in one of the season's hottest colors: Pantone's Valiant Poppy. Lucky me!Even though I’m a fashion blogger, I’m not necessarily up to speed on my fashion know-how and the latest trends. I rarely immerse myself in what’s on the runway, but still feel it’s important for me to stay in the loop. I thought I would start with something simple and decided to look up the top colors for fall/winter. The one that stood out to me the most was this vibrant red color that Pantone is calling Valiant Poppy.

Fall Fashion Trend: The Western Frontier

September 18, 2018

After scrolling through a handful of looks - pantsuits, the resurgence of the 80s, and leopard print everything - I came across western wear.

After scrolling through a handful of looks – pantsuits, the resurgence of the 80s, and leopard print everything – I came across western wear and thought this would be an easy trend to focus on, especially since most of the pieces can already be found in your closet or easily thrifted.Read More »

Spring Wardrobe Challenge Outfit #4 – The Knit Dress and Why You Need One

April 17, 2018

I've never really been a fan of the knit dress, but now I understand why they are so popular. They're easy to style, pack well, and can be dressed up or down. What's fun about this dress is the color-block detail and contrasting blue and white vertical stripes. It's a great dress for now and later!

The Knit Dress and Why You Need One

  • Get ready quick. It takes the guesswork out of getting ready. Depending on the weather, you can either go bare leg or wear tights. Then top things off with your outerwear or a lightweight sweater. You can also get creative and style this dress with a cute pair of sneakers, wedges, or flats.
  • Wear on multiple occasions. What’s great about this dress is that it works for the office by adding a lightweight blazer, you can wear it on vacation, or even when running errands. The lightweight material and length make this dress super flattering and comfortable. Perfect for wherever the day takes you!
  • Great for vacations. This dress is perfect for travel since it won’t take up much space in your luggage. It will also pack well and need very little ironing, especially if you roll the dress instead of folding.
  • It makes you think outside of the box. It’s like the modern take on the little black dress but a bit more interesting. You can wear it as a skirt (shown here), with a vest (today’s post) or with a lightweight jacket. It would also look cute with a tied waist blouse or a white denim jacket.
  • You can change up the overall look and feel with accessories. Wouldn’t this dress look so cute with a floral or striped scarf? I like the idea of mixing prints, especially in the warmer months.

If you are in the market for a knit dress, look no further than J.Jill for some cute spring essentials. They have a plethora of great options.

Unintentional Capsule Wardrobe + Spring Wardrobe Challenge 10×10

March 21, 2018

After cleaning out my closet, I barely had anything left! This is when I thought about creating a capsule wardrobe: minimal, neutral, and basic. I like the look on some, but it's not necessarily my style, although I've always wondered if I could create a capsule wardrobe for myself that was more on the feminine side.Since gaining over twenty pounds, the majority of my clothes no longer fit, but instead of holding onto everything, I went ahead and put most of my closet on consignment and gave the rest away. I understand that getting rid of things can be scary, but I’ve always been very focused on keeping my closet in order, so I knew it was the right decision for me. Plus, if I lose the weight, I know that I’ll want something new and that makes me less worried about feeling remorseful.
