Cute Fall Transition OOTD video

My shoes are from Off Broadway
My jeans are from Old Navy
My cardigan is from Old Navy
My blouse is from Forever 21
My earrings are from Forever 21
My watch is from JCPenny's or Belk's, I'm not sure which...
My Promise Ring is from Kohl's

This outfit is a perfect transition from summer to fall. A light cardigan, blouse, and jeans is an option that's perfect for any occasion.

Something that I neglected to mention in the video, is that I didn't accessorize as much with this outfit, and I did that for a reason. The shirt has so many beads on it, that it ends up being the vocal point. Of course, that's what you want. If you add so many pieces of jewelry, the whole outfit gets overwhelming and no one will know where to look. Therefore, be careful with your accessory choices. If you ever have any questions, just leave a comment and I will answer you!

On the Go/ Errands OOTD

I am so sorry I haven't gotten anything up here recently! However, I have TWO things for you today. I upload my new hair tutorial on the Irregular braid (that I am sporting in these photos) just a few minutes ago.

This is my Outfit on the Go that I think is really adorable. We've got a nice natural waist short put with a light green blouse. A cute pair of silver "boat shoes" with an abstract pair of earrings and gold watch make for a casual yet feminine outfit.

The shirt is from Ann Taylor

The plaid shorts are from Ann Taylor

The shoes are from Bass

The watch is from Just Jewelry

The earrings are from Claire's (or they could be from Rue 21, I can't remember)

 

Classy Clearance!

When you go shopping, you most likely want to get as many clothes as possible within your budget. Correct? Well, I'm gonna tell you a little story, okay?

Once upon a time...

A girl named Callie goes into her favorite store (Ann Taylor). This store just happens to be a little expensive- but great quality. Of course, Callie goes straight to the clearance racks. Keep in mind, at Ann Taylor, a nice sweater might cost from $50-$75. She's just a lookin' from rack to rack, and she comes across a navy sweater...

Pause the story! Right now, I want you to take a guess at how much that sweater costs on the clearance rack. You got your guess? Okay, continue with the story.

... Callie looks at the tag and she gets all excited, because the sweater really is beautiful. She goes and tries it on, and it fits perfectly! Oh my gosh! This is awesome!

Do you want to know how much Callie payed for that sweater? Huh? Huh? Well, FYI, she payed about $5 for it. In addition to that sweater, she got a nice long sleeve shirt and a gorgeous blouse for about $4 a piece. Ladies, this goes to show that if you just look at the clearance racks you can find amazing deals. At some stores, I don't even bother looking at the regular priced things. I head straight to clearance.

Just because the price got marked down doesn't mean it's useless-far from it, actually! In my family, when we go shopping, our goal is to find the deal of the day... those purchases were most definitely a deal!

The "Polo Post" for Guys

Here is the finale to the three part selection for "Guy Fashion."

Guys, you are SO lucky. To dress up all you have to do is iron a polo and some khaki shorts or jeans and hit the road. I mean, how much easier could it get? You just have to know how to wear it. For a more casual look do khaki shorts and flip flops or Sperry's. To make it more dressy wear khaki pants or jeans with the shirt tucked in and a belt. Pretty simple right? Here's the pictures of my brother modeling the more casual look.

Casual Outfit for Guys

Okay, here is my second "Guy Fashion" post. I really hope this is useful and I'll put some advice below!

• First, jeans go with anything and everything. Use that.
• T-shirts are basic and comfy. They are great for every day wear!
• Tennis shoes are fine. HOWEVER, make sure they are clean. Dirty shoes are just gross.

Color Blocking OOTD

Hey girls! I recently went shopping and I have fell in love with Color Blocking. It's really in right now and I think that if you do it correctly, it can be adorable. Below I'll post some tips...

• Get creative. Use colors in the same family like light blue and navy or hot pink and fuchsia.
• You can also use contrasting colors. In this outfit I wore coral and teal. Coral can compliment a lot of colors and is a really helpful element to an outfit.
• I like to have some sort of neutral color in the outfit so it's not overdone. As you can see, in this OOTD I chose the gold cardigan and accessories to tone down this particular look.
