Friend or Faux?

I'm pulling out all the stops today with this F-A-B faux fur vest! I love pairing this vest with pretty much anything, but this striped midi dress just seemed perfect for the weather today. I love mixing and matching prints and textures. Horizontal stripes get a bad wrap, but I will say that I hesitate to wear this dress on it's own. If you have anything in your closet that doesn't feel stellar when it's on, it might just need the perfect accessory! This vest makes the tight stripes feel less 'revealing'. The nice thing about having a faux fur vest is that you will be 'pet' all the time! I've never worn this vest without being pet by at least one person. Nothing says style like "can I pet you?"

Just call me Bat-woman

So, if you follow me on Instagram or Facebook you know that I won that Chili Cookoff! I couldn't believe it! I was so excited and it was such a simple recipe, maybe I'll share it with y'all sometime. My outfit today was perfect for this beautiful Fall day. It's days like this that remind us Hoosiers why we love living here. There is nothing like the perfect Fall day and I'm sure that it isn't like this any where else (but I am biased after all). 

I randomly found this shawl on Shoedazzle years ago and it has since been a staple for this transition to Winter. The best part of wearing a cape is that you're basically a super hero (regardless of Edna's feelings on capes). 

These shawls are super simple to wear as a main part of your outfit or as a "jacket" over a cute top. You have to have fun with your fashion!

How do you have fun with fashion?

Chili days

I'm off to the 3rd annual chili cook-off among friends! I'm entering my meat and bean spicy chili, so wish me luck! I wore this outfit last night for my date night with Aaron. This super cute blazer is great to throw on a black dress to jazz things up. I love neutral looks, that's pretty obvious if you scroll through my blog, but I like to throw in patterns and color to change things up a bit. No matter what your style is it's important to always have a few statement pieces in your repertoire! 

What's your favorite way to jazz up your style?

Casual LBD

Everyone has a little black dress stowed away in their closet. I have a few, because I love black! I love wearing a LBD for a formal evening or a nice date night, but the casual LBD look is just as fun and nice to have laying around. I dressed the look up with a floral scarf and some ankle booties with a different color to break up the solid black. 

I love using my scarves as "jewelry" in the colder months. Fashion and function is a beautiful thing!

All tied up

I'm currently loving this bow tie look that is hitting the scene! In my outfit I used a 'belt' that came with one of my jumpsuits, but I posted a much cuter version on the "get the look" section! I love utilizing little elements to create a funky look. This outfit would look fine without it, but it adds that perfect little pop!

 

How do you funkify your outfits?
