Sew Cute

It's officially December! Which means it's time to bundle up and keep out of the cold. Plaid scarves have been in a ton of my posts recently and to say the least I'm obsessed. There are a ton of ways you can style and wear a plaid scarf. Here are a few ways I've styled them recently.....

 

What is your favorite way to wear a plaid scarf? Let me know in the comments!

Crazy for Chino

This summer I have been trying to up my wardrobe. In other words I want more classic pieces that will last me more then one summer. I am kind of over the whole high waisted denim shorts thing. Of course I still have some and I will still wear them, but my go-to short this summer is chino shorts from J Crew! These shorts are PERFECT. They come in multiple lengths (depending on your comfort level/ age). My mom loves the 7 inch shorts and I usually go for the 3, 4, or 5 inch. So, no matter what they have a great length for you. Also, I have gotten all of mine on sale! The purple ones below were $10 then the neon pink ones were only $18. If you look hard enough you can find good deals on these!

How I style them: 

Here are two previous OOTDs that feature my fabulous chino shorts. How would you style them? 

 

My collection: 

My collection contains a neon pink and green pair, classic white, a pastel purple pair, and a chambray polka dot pair. I am slowly building up a pretty good collection! 

Day 5: Cruella De Ville

Cruella De Ville may be one of the most fabulous villans of Disney. So, I created a look that would be a perfect party look. 

This Topshop romper is a super fun and glamorous. Pairing it with red accessories and lips represents her gloves and her personal red lips. With junky rhinestone accessories it adds sparkle and an extra level of classiness to the look. 

Day 4: Aristocats  

Marie is one adorable cat. She is super cute and super sassy. I made an outfit that reflected her her character and her appearance. 

I paired an embellished button down with a fun pair of patterned pants. This fun is chic and fun. I love the pink pattern on the pants. It is a fun pop of color to the look. For shoes I used a pair of bow embellished ballet flats. The bow mimics the bow that Marie always wears. For accessories I used a sparkly bracelet to complete the look. 

Welcome to Disney Week! I will be off and on vacation on a Disney Cruise. Of course you will hear all about it once I am back but I wanted to bring the fun of Disney to my blog! 

So here is a week of Disney character inspired outfits. Each day will be a different character and a new idea for how you can take a simple inspiration and make it chic and fun. 

Hope you enjoy! 

Day 1: Dumbo

Dumbo is such a cutie! So naturally who wouldn't want a dumbo inspired outfit? 

This outfit is more on the edgy side. I picked a simple grey jersey dress with a little bit of mesh detailing. Paired along with it I used red or maroon accessories. The red comes from the visions of the circus tents that are in the movie. 

To finish things off wear any pair of little booties or ankle boots. These remind me of something a circus master would wear. 

To re-create this look simply pick out a grey dress and accessorize! 

Gold is one of my favorite metals. I love the look of gold and how glamorous it looks on. So, I wanted to share some of the ways I like to incorporate gold into my looks. 

1. Jewelry: Jewelry is one of the main and easy ways to use gold in an outfit. Almost all the jewelry pieces I own have gold metal in them. I think its super classic and girly. You can get gold bracelets, necklaces, or even earrings anywhere! From Forever 21 to Henri Bendel there is a price point and style for everyone. 

My picks: 

 

Bauble Bar necklaces

Forever 21 jewelry

2. A sequin dress or skirt: I love wearing sequin dresses or skirts to spice up your look. They are great to have around if you ever need a fancy dress. I also like to wear sequin skirts everyday. There are so many ways that you can wear them in a casual way. Or you can dress them up and make it a cute going out look. Here is how I styled my sequins skirts during the holidays: 

3. Metallic ballet flats or shoes: Adding a pop of metallic for your shoes is also an easy way to add gold into an outfit. Also, gold ballet flats or heels are super versatile and you can wear them for special occasions or for an every day look.

How to style gold into your wardrobe! From dressy to casual........

How to: Style Rent the Runway dresses for multiple occasions 

As you may know, I am a Rent the Runway On Campus rep! So, I recently rented some dresses from their website www.renttherunway.com

I took advantage of the free sizing pack. This pack includes three dresses to try on to see what your sizing is. A stylist at Rent the Runway picks out the three dresses for you. 

I got the pack with all size 0 dresses because if it's a zero and doesn't fit its not going to fit! I was super happy with the first dress which was gorgeous! 

The first dress they sent me was a Opening Ceremony dress. There was gorgeous embroidery details in blue, green, silver, and blush pink colors.  It was fitted in the waist then flared out. This silhouette was super flattering on my figure. The dress was cut kind of low but it would be suitable for a party of some sort (nothing wrong with a little skin). 

The first way I styled the dress was how I wore it to class. I kept things super casual and added accessories to dress down the dress. Pairing the dress with a cardigan, scarf, and knee high socks made the dress more relaxed. Also, I wore a rose gold belt to accent the waist even more. 

Casual Look: 

Dress: Rent the Runway 

Scarf: H&M 

Sweater: American Eagle 

Shoes: Sam Eldeman 

Bracelet: BCBG 

Socks: Target 

Earrings: Nordstrom 

Belt: Forever 21 

The next way you could style this look is a "work look". Pair the dress with a simple black or brown blazer to make it more professional. Slip on a pair of boots to match your blazer along with tights or knee socks. You can keep the same accessories or change them based on how professional your job may be. 

Where it's from: 

Dress: Rent the Runway 

Blazer: Nordstrom 

Belt: Forever 21 

Boots: Michael Kors

Socks: Target 

Earrings: Nordstrom 

Bracelet: BCBG 

The final look is a party or going out look. I simply just paired the dress with a pair of Mary jane style heels. Keeping the knee socks on it makes it a little more Blair Waldorf inspired. However, you can wear a pair of tights or nothing at all (depending on your weather situation). 

This dress has a lot of pretty details. The lace has a unique pattern and also has silver metallic woven into the fabric. A scalloped lace hem adds a cute small detail to the dress. An open back is also a great detail of the dress. 

Where it's from: 

Dress: Rent the Runway 

Shoes: Jessica Simpson (from Nordstrom) 

Necklace: Silver Linings Shop (CLICK HERE for shop!)

To simplify this look, I added a rhinestone hat and a pair of tall brown boots. You could also slip on a cardigan to make it more cozy and relaxed. The hat not only adds texture and of course sparkle but it keeps your head warm on a cold day. Just by changing the accessories in the look you can dramatically change your outfit. 

Where is it from: 

Dress: Rent the Runway 

Boots: Michael Kors 

Hat: Nordstrom
