{Dare to Wear} High-Waisted Jeans

Hello fabulous darling! Lately I’m all about high-waisted jeans. They make your legs look miles longer and being that I’m only 5’3, that’s a major selling point. Not gonna lie, I have asked myself “how the heck am I going to wear these?” and “do they look like mom jeans?”, but alas, I still love … Continue Reading

{Dare to Wear} Chambray + Jeweled Tights

  Alright, it’s the end of the month, aka time for Look #3 for this month’s Dare to Wear piece … a maroon dress from H&M. This time around I decided to mix sparkle with a casual, artistic vibe. Let’s start at the very beginning, a very good pale to start (sing it with me!). … Continue Reading

{Dare to Wear} Geek-Chic Glasses Like Jenna Lyons

Geek can be chic. Yes, I am using glasses as an accessory. No, I don’t have a prescription. Yes, I do feel a little Jenna-Lyons-esque. This blog post will be low on words and heavy on pictures in comparison to other posts. Instead, enjoy my awkward poses ( Nelly’s Ride Wit Me was playing) and cheap-chic … Continue Reading

{Dare to Wear} Red & Green Outfit Fitting for the Holidays

Merry Christmas! It’s only fitting that this week’s Dare to Wear outfit be a little festive.

This … Continue Reading

{Dare to Wear} Princess Attire

Hello darling! I’m embracing my inner princess (not a stretch) and am remixing my Forever 21 maxi dress for a holiday look that’s girly, glam, and reminiscent of playing dress up. This outfit makes me feel like I just pulled out some play clothes from a toy chest. I mean, what little girl wouldn’t want … Continue Reading

{Dare to Wear} Shorts & Studs

For week three of rocking the classic white shirt I thought it’d be fun to take this staple in an edgy direction. Instead of playing it safe, I transitioned some summer shorts info fall via some layer tights and booties. Top: Instyle Essentials // Shorts: Rock & Republic // Tights: Hanes (similar) // Booties: Lulu’s (similar) … Continue Reading

{Dare to Wear} Baggy Boyfriend Jeans

Maybe I’m seeing through rose-colored glasses when it comes to these baggy boyfriend jeans. My actual boyfriend told me they do nothing for me and he doesn’t like them … and he rarely dislikes my fashions. Either way, jeans and a crisp white shirt always go together. If the jeans are a little baggy or … Continue Reading

{Dare to Wear} Personality in a Plain White Shirt

Every girl has got to have a few key style essentials in her closet. I’m talking about fashion necessities – those pieces that hold up, go with a ton, and never fail to make you look fabulous. Not all clothes are created equally. Some clothes need to be ready for lots of wear and a … Continue Reading

{Dare to Wear} Haute Hue for a Hike

It’s the end of the first installment of Dare to Wear, the new blog series where we dare to wear the same piece three weeks in a row!  Over the last three weeks I’ve taken my hot-pink pants in three different style directions – preppy, business chic, and now a look perhaps too haute for … Continue Reading
