After Henry's nasty stomach bug, I got out of the house and got a few things to make me feel... Human again.
I headed out to get a few pairs of causal, everyday shoes. I've never had a need for that kind of shoe because I was either always office-chic for extreme-weekend-casual. I no longer have a need for office-chic and am pretty tired of extreme weekend casual, so here's the lowdown on the mini-haul I got and how I'm styling them:
Top 5 Fashion Friday Picks:
1) Got these beauties by Everybody/Bz Moda for 80% off! They weren't even $60. Score!
2) Then found these hipster-inspired boots from Crown Vintage. This brand is super affordable so I was comfortable buying something more "trendy" given the price point.
3) Found this comfy, slouchy cardigan at a boutique shop in the Bishop Arts district by Nixon Asked Cash (say that out loud three times fast!)
4) So I created this look: "Southern Prepster"
Sweater Nixon Asked Cash // White Jeans J Crew // Tank Target // Necklace and bracelet J Crew // Shoes Everybody/Bz Moda |
5) And if you follow me on Instagram, which you totally should because it's by far the most fun soc-media platform, you've seen this look: "Inspired Hipster"
T Shirt J Crew // Jeans J Crew // Shoes Crown Vintage // Hat CC Exclusives // Watch Michael Kors // Bangles J Crew |
Have you ever created random or mix'n'match type looks from a few new pieces you've purchased?
As always, linking up with two of my faves, Amanda and Karli!
Cheers to the weekend!
Those boots!!!!!!!!! We wear the same size right??? NO? Bummer.
ReplyDeleteHaha! If you'd just grow your foot out a little more to be a real, grown up size, I'd be happy to share! ;)
Deletepart of my Friday post was on fashion too - haha but mens fashion. I'm obsessed with men in amazing suits (and suits did just return this week - Hey Harvey!). Instagram by far is the first social media ap I open in the morning, and I practically mix and match everything in my wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteThere was a bunch of us who posted fashion items on Friday - I'm considering a link up! And yes to men in suits. Part of the reason I fell for my hubs :)
Deleteboth looks are totally adorable, and you are so a style maven.
ReplyDeleteAwwww, thanks! Trust me, I'm no style maven. I only wash my hair about every third day, and only wear non-yoga clothes maaaayyyyyybe twice a week!
DeleteLove the shoes. Love the top. Love how you styled everything. Southern prepster is totally a thing. I've been meaning to trek over to the Bishop Arts District and do a little shopping. I'm on a clothes spending freeze until spring really hits. Then I'm buying a bunch of comfy sundresses.
ReplyDeleteI can't for the life of me remember what the dang boutique is called! But it's not a big area, so you'll be able to find it. Everything is reasonably priced in there, too!
DeleteSundresses FTW! It's what I wear March-Oct.
Totally dig your inspired hipster look! I wish I could pull off those hats but they just don't work for me! You know I'm always down for hearing about new great picks that are fabulous and affordable!
ReplyDeleteI didn't think they worked for me either, but I just got into them! I think my hair is just the right length now. And thanks for the heads up on the Target tee's - they look AMAZING!
DeleteI LOVE your hipster look! Those boots are so great!
ReplyDeleteI think I might transition to be a bit more "hipsterish" - everyone was loving this look! I wore it for two days straight. Shhhh, don't tell!
Deletethat cardigan looks cute and comfy at the same time!
ReplyDeleteSuper comfy and flattering! The layers in the front help to hide any belly you might not want hanging out :)
DeleteInspired hipster for the win!!
ReplyDeleteYes! That's it. I'm going to work on bringing out my inner hipster.
