Pinspired: Screen Sweatshirt

It' a snowy day here in Indy! To keep warm in this seemingly neverending winter, I wore my coziest sweatshirt. This sweatshirt still has that perfectly fuzzy new sweatshirt feel, it's something to be revered until it's been washed too many times. Anyone else know this feeling? The Pinspired look is so cute, I love that I can switch up the style of the sweatshirt, throw on some booties, and tights and still achieve this trendy look.  I am such a fan of the screen tee/sweatshirt, people have really started to glam up the screen tee and wear it for professional looks, going out, and generally fancy affairs. It's no longer the jeans and tee look, although that is still definitely a fun comfortable look! Thanks for stopping by on your Sunday, have fun out there you little snow bunnies!

Sweater love

There's nothing quite like the comfort of a sweater, oh wait, make it into a dress! I love this super comfy sweater dress I found at the Toggery. It is perfect for lounging around on a lazy Saturday. I paired this with an army green cargo vest because I like the all over neutral look and thought it'd add a nice extra layer. Hope everyone is enjoying their saturday!

Spring in my step

I'm a sucker for Spring in Indiana. I know we are very far away from it, but I didn't want all my cute spring attire to go to the wayside. This floral dress is such a cute pattern, it reminds me of watercolor flower paintings. I love layering and a lot of elements to winter wear, but I truly love spring fashion. That's why it's important to me to find ways to incorporate these pieces into all four seasons. I paired this dress with my tried and true collared blouse, a gorgeous mint coat from Old Navy and of course, tights and booties and there you have it, a spring outfit "winterized"!

Stripes and fur and florals Oh My!

I went to the Toggery to pick up my $$ from selling a few items and alas I ended up spending more than I made. I found this exceptional fur vest, yes another one! This black beauty (pun?) was only $8!!! That my friends is the advantage to shopping resale! Paired with my $12 pair of Loft dress pants, I think I made out like a bandit. I wanted to pair the fur with lots of fun textures and prints, hence the floral and stripes. I like the simplicity of this look and that it still packs a punch in the style department!

Throwback Thursday!

Today's post is a little bit different. I'm throwing it way back to when I was featured on College Fashionista for this layered look back in my senior year of college (aww good times). I loved this outfit, because it was super chic and extremely warm, which obviously was necessary. It was almost exactly 3 years ago that this picture was taken by fashion guru Irene Wang. I realized that I have worn all these items many times since and they've shown up on the blog often! I get asked all the time how I can afford all these clothes. My answer is always that most of them are super old! I try and re-purpose some of my favorite items and keep them trendy in new and fun ways, because my clothes budget is truly abysmal.

A work of art..

 I feel like today's look is very art student-esque. I can imagine venturing to my painting class, easel in tow and ready to over analyze every brushstroke. Alright, so maybe I'm going a little far, but I do love this outfit! I love it so much that I wore it to dinner, then to work the next day. I love that it translates well for both work and after hours fun! This fun printed skirt was an old navy find, forever ago! Literally, this skirt is from high school. I hadn't worn it for years until last summer I brought it out of the black whole where I put clothes I can't part with but never wear (this is bad, just sell them and get new ones). I was surprised to see that it translated well into winter style also! Pairing anything with tights make it possible; right?

Do you have any recent pieces that came back from the past?

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!
