    Styling a Bravolebrity Inspired Outfit

    A lot of my personality comes from being deeply invested in Bravo reality television shows (The Real Housewives, Vanderpump Rules, ect). Little events, cocktail parties, or dinners are always opportunities for those ladies to serve fashion, of course the reunion too. That often gets me thinking, what could I put together from my closet that…

    Styling an Oversized Blazer with Shorts

    This Monday I’m sharing an outfit combination I love right now: Take an old reliable blazer and button it over a simple base outfit that includes a favorite pair of denim shorts. The blazer needs to be oversized for this look.  The shorts barely peek out of the bottom of the blazer, sometimes letting the blazer appear as a dress. It’s…

    Styling My Smallest Bag Yet

    As unpractical as they may seem, I still love mini purses. Sometimes the aesthetic is more important! They’re such a cute, dainty accessory to add to an outfit. I might have added the smallest bag yet to my collection. It’s only 6×4.5×3.5 inches. In this post, I’m using my Coach Andrea Mini Caryall to make…

    Dressing Up Jean Shorts

    For this week’s outfit, I pulled out an old pair of jean shorts I haven’t worn in a long time in an attempt to make a decent outfit. Despite my instinct to make a completely dark-colored outfit, I added my version of a pop of color with this top to feel more “spring-like.” Outfit details:

    3 Simple Outfits Using Cowboy Boots

    The past couple of weeks have been filled with so much discourse about Beyoncé releasing a country album. Of course I’ve been following all of this.

    The goal of this post was to put together an activewear outfit. The starting point was my pair of black biker shorts. When that seemed like too simple of a look, I started to think, what could I add to elevate them slightly? As a result, we have today’s outfit. Outfit details:
