Settled Down


My wardrobe used to feel like a random collection of boring basics and cute individual pieces that usually only matched one other thing. Now that I've had time to explore what I like and what works for me, putting together outfits is easier and more interesting. I don't like to put a label on my style, but I definitely gravitate towards feminine details, bold colors, oversized necklaces, and classic silhouettes. Oh and shoes! I can never resist a pair of funky flats or ladylike heels.

This outfit embodies a few of my favorite looks. It's the first time I've styled this silver and turquoise necklace from Loft. It caught my eye immediately and, as luck would have it, it was on deep discount. Score! I'm also starting to love the navy/turquoise combo, maybe even more than my beloved coral and turquoise looks. How about you? What looks do you go back to time and time again?

Unexpected Pair

Hey guys! I'm not sure if this is a duh! moment, but I recently realized that navy and turquoise go nicely together. Usually I wear turquoise (a whole subsection of my wardrobe) with white or brown but this looks so much better. This weekend I got a little eager and dug out my summer clothes. It was sunny and in the 80s, so beautiful! Today was absolutely crazy at school (five tests and a quiz!) so I decided to dress up to keep me in a good mood. Usually when I'm up late studying and have a busy day I feel like curling up in sweats, but dressing nicely actually makes me more alert and puts me in a better mood. This is my favorite kind of outfit because it's simple, colorful, and comfortable. And my gold flats brighten up any day!
