Sew Cute

September 13th, 2013: 

The Outfit: I am not the biggest fan of wearing a t-shirt around. But, this weekend is the Iowa State vs Iowa game. So basically the biggest weekend of college for us at Iowa State. So, I had to show my school spirit in some way. I chose to wear this denim button down shirt with bright red skinny jeans. Along with that I paired a yellow flower statement necklace. Together red and yellow are our school colors. So if you like me and you don't like t-shirts recreate this look with your school colors! 

All you need is......

The Outfit: Today's outfit I kept super simple. It is still in the 90s in Ames which I am totally not used to. So, I just wore this super fun bleached denim dress with great accessories. The look is very simple but still cute and a little bit edgy. My favorite part about this dress is the amazing pockets because lets be honest, every girl loves a dress with pockets. I paired the dress with a statement necklace with black and silver details. Also, it has a super cute bow in the center.

Zombie Burger:

Des Moines, IA 

On Sunday my friends and I drove to Des Moines to try the famous Zombie Burger. Since I'm not from Iowa I am unaware of all these traditional food places. However, if you are EVER in Iowa you have to go to zombie burger. 

I have never tasted food so good let me tell you! They specialize in crazy and unique burgers and they may sound gross but boy are they delicious. I got a burger with barbecue sauce, bacon, caramelized onions, ranch, and cheddar cheese. It was probably one of the best burgers I have ever had by far. Then they had the most amazing french fries. I highly suggest the cheese fries. Normally I am not a cheese fry person but I devoured them! Then I also got a Berry Crunch milkshake. In other words I had a shake with captain crunch berry cereal in it. It sounds gross but it was so delicious. 

Overall this place is amazing and if your in Iowa you have to go!

Blog Haul: 

Akira, Dry Goods, and Gilly Hicks

I went home from school this past weekend for Labor Day. Of course coming home meant going shopping. No offense Iowa you have no good stores so I was in desperate need of some retail therapy. 

Gilly Hicks had 40% off their whole store plus 50% off clearance. I got this one-zie pajama romper I would say. It is super soft and has white and navy stripes. It was around $9 because it was 50% off the sale price. 

  

I have literally been eyeing this rope for forever. I am obsessed with their new monogram logo. This was originally around $50. So, obviously I waited for it to go on sale. This rope is super soft and comfy of course. (I'm actually wearing it while I am writing this post :) ) The quality is super nice and of course I love the stripes and the hot pink detailing. 

This next dress I got from Dry Goods. Again, I have been eyeing this dress for quite sometime now. I saw it in their clearance area the past few trips to the mall. Finally, it got down to $13 from around $50 originally. I'm super excited to wear this dress to some type of sorority event most likely. The lace and piping like detailing makes it have a little bit more interest then your average maxi dress. 

The rest of these items are from Akira. 

These two necklaces I got for $10 because they had a buy one get one free deal. Originally, together, they would have been around $40. Getting both for $10 is not that bad of a deal if you ask me! 

The one on the left is very glamorous and makes a statement. The one on the right is more simple but super cute and dainty. 

I got these shorts mainly for going out. They were only $10 so you can't really leave them behind. They have a symmetrical tribal print with bright oranges, purples, and blues. They fit pretty snug and are also high waisted.  

Akira always gets me with their deals. One of their promotions was get two sunglasses for $10. So of course I bought two pairs of sunglasses. I got a pair of basic aviators because oddly enough I don't own anything like these. Then I got this super fun bright blue pair. The lenses are super circular which I like on my face.  

The last thing I got was this houndstooth body con dress. It has a peplum detail at the waist and the fabric has a nice texture to it. At $10 you can't top this super chic dress. 

Style Steal: Steve Madden Flats 

Many of you may have already see my brown Steve Madden ballet flats. I have rocked them in numerous OOTD's this summer. Originally, I got them on sale for around $30 at Nordstrom. (It was their sale early in the year.) 

However, at my recent trip to Target I found a pair that is an exact replica of the shoes. But, these ones are only $21.99. So, if you have been wanting a pair of Steve Madden flats like mine but you can't justify the cost, these are also a good option.  

Below are some pictures of my Steve Madden flats. As you can see they really do look exactly alike. Save yourself the money and pick up these flats from Target!

Tip: Target shoes ALWAYS go on clearance! If $22 is still to much just wait a month of so and they will be marked down for even cheaper.

Rent the Runway on Campus Letter's Day

The Outfit: Today was Rent the Runway letter's day. Which means I have to sport my Rent the Runway gear! The shirt I have says get nautical on it as well as Lilly loves Rent the Runway. In other words it's a Lilly Pulitzer t-shirt and I am obsessed with it to say the least. I paired the shirt with a denim like skirt. It's super comfy and casual but cute at the same time. Also, I sported my vintage magenta Keds. I accessorized with my J Crew statement necklace and some of my favorite bangles.

The Outfit: Today I kept things super casual. However, I still wanted to look presentable of course. I paired my Mood Project Runway t-shirt with simple black high waisted shorts. Accessorizing the look with a statement necklace and topknot I added a little sophistication to the look. With the right accessories you can turn your jeans and tee look into something more stylish. 

Also, in my look I featured my Rent the Runway water bottle! If you haven't signed up for Rent the Runway SIGN UP! Go to www.renttherunway.com/student if you are a student to sign up!
