“Playing dress-up begins at age five and never truly ends.”
― Kate Spade
For me, this quote is completely accurate. As a little girl, I always LOVED dressing up. But not exactly in the sense that you may be thinking. I never really had any princess dresses or plastic shoes. When I got young, my grandma had a box of her old clothing, shoes, and accessories in her spare bedroom. I remember my cousin and I spending hours changing in and out of the items in that box and in my grandma's closet. We would strut our stuff down the hallway and my grandma always told us how beautiful we looked in her old belongings. I would also raid my mom's closet to try on her shoes or carry her purses. Even at the age of two, I was already stealing my mom's fancy shoes.
So from those red to my current lace up red shoes, I've always adored fun shoes! This outfit felt so feminine and ballerina-like. I love flowy tops, lacy details, and comfort... I always want to be comfortable! This is that sweater than I own in two colors that I wear at least once a week. When you love something, buy it in every color and dress up because grown ups can play dress up too... I do it everyday!
You can just call me the Jean Queen. I literally live in jeans! They are such a closet staple for me... and most of America. It's so important to find ones that fit well and last. I have a tendency to stick with darker washes because I find them to be the most slimming style for me. But every once in awhile, I get a little crazy and try a new wash. These gorgeous Seven For All Mankind Jeans were an absolute steal from Fevrie! These jeans can go for at least $200 and Fevrie retailed them for about $60! Such a good deal.
Have you heard of Fevrie?
"Fevrie is a fashion house that speaks to the modern woman. Inspired by the French style and culture, the brand embodies a true collaboration between the sophistication of Europe and the lively spirit of America. Intertwining the two creates the ultimate tie between success and fun!"
They provide great authentic brands such as Free People, Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, and so much more for just a fraction of a price. Think of them as your online department store outlet. Fevrie wants to help everyone get fabulous for a more affordable price which I love! I am all about style on a budget and fashion should be affordable!
These jeans are a straight leg cut with a mommy must have mid-rise. I paired them with a striped tunic, tassel clutch, leopard pumps, and a pink statement necklace. I am loving this combination for spring! I truly feel like the Jean Queen in this outfit!
Trying not to get my hopes up just yet, but y'all, yesterday felt exactly like spring here in North Carolina! This time of year I always get antsy for warmer weather, lighter layers, and flowers. Give me all of the flowers because they make me happy.
So... I took full advantage of the high 60's to wear my glitter flats as well as my new cardigan and tee from Old Navy. I've had my eye on both of these pieces for a few weeks and finally snagged them on Saturday night in the store. The kimono style cardigan is slightly longer in the back, lightweight, and the confetti knit is too cute {pictures don't really do it justice}. I bought a size small and found it to be very true to size. The fringe tee is so soft and so fun! I love the fringe detail and don't own anything like it. I bought a medium {that's all my store had in the gray} but I love the slightly oversized fit! I prefer my tops not to cling to my body... especially right after lunch. I would definitely say size up one size in the tee for a more relaxed, longer fit.
I absolutely love bright colors and this top is no exception! It's literally as bright as a pink highlighter and I love it! So to neutralize the brightness so that it wasn't too overwhelming, I kept all of my accessories very neutral and simple for this Valentine's Day look. I layered up two of my favorite necklaces which is one of my favorite ways to wear my necklaces right now. Since it was absolutely freezing, I wore my over the knee boots with my camel pea coat to stay warm. My Longchamp tote is my go-to because hello, it's black AND brown so that literally means that it goes with absolutely everything. Oh and this top is my first Elsa from Lilly Pulitzer and I am fan! It's lightweight enough to wear during the summer with shorts and you can still be layered up during the cooler months to keep your color palette bright. Wearing bright, happy colors literally lifts my mood even when the weather outside isn't cooperating.
