Sew Cute

Surprise surprise, another plaid scarf. I know my obsession is becoming ridiculous but I can't help it! I recently purchased this scarf from Target last week and I am in love! This scarf is a little more oversized and basically is a blanket scarf. Blanket scarves are a huge trend this season but I didn't feel like spending that much money on one. At around $16 this one was a steal! To add this scarf has a lot of different colors so it goes with a wide variety of outfits. 

I paired my plaid scarf with a simple black long sleeve and a pair of textured shorts. To prevent from freezing I also wore a pair of bright red tights. Every time I wear these tights I can't help but feel like Blair Waldorf. Surprisingly I wear them quite a bit during the fall and winter season. For accessories I wore my new Sperry Topsider watch which is a current favorite. It features a navy and green band which matches a lot of what I wear. 

To finish the look I slipped on my Tory Burch black flats and wore a skinny gold metallic belt. Also, I threw on some pearl studs and my favorite Alex and Ani bracelets. This outfit is a personal favorite of the moment. I love how all of these components came together to create a fun, preppy, and feminine look.

Recently I have been wearing this aqua color a lot. I'm not sure why but I seem to be gravitating towards it! This OOTD features a aqua sheer maxi skirt paired with a simple striped crop top. I love this look because it is more simple then what I normally wear. It was a great outfit for grabbing some breakfast with a friend. For accessories I kept it pretty simple and just wore a pair of statement earrings from Baublebar. I have gotten a lot of use out of these earrings! They are great because they are black, grey, and white so they go with a lot of looks. Not to mention they are pretty neutral so I wear them a lot. For my other accessories I kept it with my everyday bangles and watch. My bag is a recent purchase that I did a post on! My shoes are simple sandals that have both gold and silver. These are my go-to sandal and they are super comfortable. They are from Target and might I say Target makes a great sandal! I always get mine on super clearance for around $7-$9.

On this lovely warm day of spring I had an interview for my universities fashion magazine Trend. I am happy to announce that I am the new Accessories Director for the fall 2014 issue! This is a huge opportunity and I cannot wait to think of a concept and start planning my fall shoot. 

So, now for the outfit. I wore a super fun tulle skirt with a simple black tank. I recently picked up this skirt form a local boutique when I was in the Davenport area for Easter. The skirt is super comfy and not to mention super fun! Who doesn't love a midi tulle skirt? Very Sarah Jessica Parker inspired. For accessories I wore another recent purchase of mine, new bauble bar dangle earrings. These earrings were only $10 from their huge sale they recently had. I am basically obsessed with them! They are a great neutral earring that I think I will be able to wear a lot. I also accessorized with a fun BCBG bracelet and a gold skinny belt along with my typical everyday jewelry picks.

The weather is starting to warm up! Which means no tights, lighter jackets, and less layers. So, last week I took advantage of the warm weather with an outfit appropriate for the spring sun. I paired a simple denim button down with a flowy floral skirt. I accented the colors in the skirt with my fun statement necklace. For shoes I wore my favorite pair of camel brown booties from Target. I wore a fun pair of gold sparkle socks to accent the gold in the skirt. Overall, I cannot wait for more warm days and more outfits with less bulk!

Spring is here! Well at least it feels like that here in Ames. So here are some spring shoes that you have to get your hands on. 

 

Target has done it again..... 

Target has yet another collaboration in stores right now! This collab is not only bold, colorful, and graphic but it is super chic. The collaboration is with Peter Pilotto and it incorporates a lot of colors and patterns into the garments. You may be thinking that you can't pull off these looks. But, in reality they are super fun and are great for spring or even supper. I can picture someone wearing these pieces with things that they already own to tone them down. 

{Ad campaigns for the collection. These are super bold and eye catching!}

Here are 6 outfit ideas incorporating the Peter Pilotto collection at Target. Almost everything you see you can purchase at Target! It's a one stop shop. But other pieces are from Forever 21 and other affordable stores. 

My favorite look is the dress in the lower right corner! It is super bold and has a great print. 

So be sure to check out your Target for the collaboration!

With Valentine's day comes candy! This is my FAVORITE Valentines day candy of all time. I am super into Sweetarts or candy like that (if it's Wonka I most likely love it) so I have been eating these a lot! 

Fashion

I have been layering necklace a lot this month. I think they add an extra sparkle and more texture to a look. 

I think I will always be obsessed with this pearl necklace. It's from J Crew and I feel really cool wearing it because all of my favorite bloggers have it too.... So there is that! 

Also, J Crew has been a HUGE favorite this month specifically. I feel like I am always wearing something J Crew no matter what! 

Those are my February favorites! Hope you enjoyed :)
