Simple and Sweet

It cracks me up when I "dress down" or casually and people act like it never happens! I got so many compliments the other day when I wore this very casual denim on denim look to work. This is a casual day outfit for me but something that is still appropriate for the departments I work in. It is nice sometimes to not always dress up although a skirt or dress is definitely my go to. This orange linen tee from Ann Taylor LOFT is one of my favorite throw on and go tops for the summer, I believe I own in it in three different colors! My chambray button up with the aztec print flare is from Connections clothing boutique in State College. Sporting my favorite pair of dark wash skinnies from Free People I am sad to admit that after a year I think I need to re-invest in a new pair as they are loosing their color slightly in the thigh, My wedges are from Target and are very comfortable even for running around at work all day. How do you keep it simple and sweet sometimes? 

Sock Obsessed

 

 

Socks are a girls best friend when temperatures start to hit below freezing. I can still look cute occasionally by roughing it in a dress or skirt combination with the help of a nice pair of tights and of course some cozy socks. Free People, Target, and the Sundance Catalog are just a few of my favorite places to buy socks.

Prep It Up

Happy Monday!! Also the countdown to Christmas has begun and it's time to start scrambling for those last minute gifts. Today I am trying to brighten my Monday morning mood by prepping up my style a little bit and therefore prepping up my mood a little bit too.

My adorable niece Kierra sat in on the photo shoot this morning. 

Today's layered look includes:
Knit Cotton Sweater- LOFT
White Button Up- Target
Paisley Print Pants- Forever 21
Black Booties- Hautelook 

Stepping It Up A Notch

No longer will my blog be filled with only iPhone edited images but actually some professional pictures with my Nikon D5000. I'm so excited to get back into my love of photography and playing with the camera. It's something that goes hand and hand with fashion and I've always had a niche for it.

I'm excited to have a different approach to my post with a lot more pictures and a little less writing. Winter has officially hit the East Coast and it is freezing in State College. No more getting away with summer clothes under a jacket, it's time for wearing one more layer than you think is necessary just in case.

 Today I am breaking out one of my warmest sweaters I got from Peru, it's 100% Alpaca. I decided to put some dark wash skinnies with a paisley print scarf from Target. I also wore one of  my favorite necklaces that is a petrified butterfly wing from the Butterfly Garden in St. Thomas, USVI.
