Street Style and Sunday Funday Recap

 My Sunday Funday has been a perfect combination of brunch, mimosas, snuggling, football, and friends! Does it get any better than that? I began my morning snuggling with my baby Penny and loading up on caffeine for the day. My homemade biscuits and gravy paired perfectly with a grapefruit mimosa. I wanted to rock this edgy street style look today, since after all if not on Sunday Funday, then when? I stole Aaron's favorite beanie to top off this comfy look. I've been all about beanies lately. I like that it's on trend and goes well with many different styles to add a more hipster vibe to a look. Happy Monday everyone, only 4 more days!

Batter up!

 I love taking casual items and dressing them up! I can wear this baseball tee with some jeans and chucks or I can jazz it up like today's look! Just by adding some statement jewelry and a black bodycon skirt I'm all set for a night on the town! 

Taking items that are typically casual or typically dressy and using them in a different way is a great way to extend the life of your closet. I like to wear skirts with sneaks or tee's with blazers to change up the style! It's all about mixing things up and trying something new!

How do you mix up your style?

As promised I've come up with another Holiday Party look! Sometimes the party starts right after work, thus you can't get too dolled up, since most will be in their work clothes. Hopefully you all saw my look from yesterday, which is actually the exact same outfit! All I did was take off the button-up and throw on a festive green blazer. I've got all the holiday colors covered and still appropriate for a work function. It takes a few moments of planning, but you can still wow at your holiday party when coming straight from work!

What are you wearing for your holiday party?

Work and Play

Today's look is to show that it is super easy to be dressed professionally with a little flare! I don't like the idea that dressing for work has to be slacks and a button up. Don't get me wrong I often slide into the rut of wearing just that, but every now and then I like to jazz it up. 

I paired a simple dress from Target with a neutral button up and a pop of statement jewelry! All of this topped off with some fierce red lips and I'm ready to rock this Monday like it's Friday! 

How do you add style to your work look?

ps. Check out the blog tomorrow for a Holiday party look if you have to go straight after work!

This is goodbye...

...to fall! Sorry kids, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, but aparrently Fall has flown the coup. It's frosty out, snowing occassionally, and just plain freaking cold. So, we meet again, Winter. It seems you're still the sp"ICY" mistress I remember. I would say that this is the time to move, but even the south is shivering in their cowboy boots! What has this world come to? Come on Mother Nature, give us a break!

Well, that's all for my rant! For now..

Enjoy the outfit and the weather oh! and the weekend!

Change is in the air!

As you have probably noticed I have not only changed the name, but the whole look of the blog! A redesign was essential. When I began this blog, I kind of figured it wouldn't last and I'd move on, but I have come to find that it is something I truly love to do and no matter how many views I get I will continue to indulge in my two favorite things. Fashion and writing. Thank you all for viewing my blog, it is still and might always be a work in progress!

Thanks, 

Abby

I recently overheard a stylist at work explain how to get beachy waves with a curling iron...I'm officially hooked! I love that since they are relaxed curls I can keep a longer look with the volume of a little curl. I'm sure we've all heard this style of curling, but the way she explained it made me think I could do it. I think I achieved success! 

I am mixing up my previous outfit pieces in a different way for a more casual look. I like taking an outfit and using the inspiration to create a new look for different venue. Do you like to style swap?

Jeggings: Hue (These are amazing! They're jersey)

Cabernet Blouse and Statement Jewelry

You have to love fall for it's layering capabilities! This adorable top from Le Tote is perfect for just that. I love the midi sleeve, it's such a chic departure from the cap sleeve and three-quarter. This outfit is undoubtedly cute and comfy, but it was missing something. That something almost always a good piece of jewelry! This lust worthy necklace is an amazing find at Adorn boutique in Broad Ripple. The kicker is that it was only $16! Nothing better than a stylish deal.

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am an old school film buff! One fantastic staple in fashion is the lbd (little black dress) and the second is Audrey Hepburn. No one can truly encompass her beauty and grace, but one can try to emulate her impeccable style. She is the queen of simplicity and the lbd. I love this dress from Nordstrom, because it is flattering, simple, and versatile. I also love long sleeves! I had to spice it up with a good statement piece of jewelry, naturally. Who's your fashion icon?
