Skinny pants to work…Oh my! These LOFT skinny pants fit so well inside my rain boots and look fabulous for a causal Friday look ( the sky has opened up for the last two days. I’m going to call Noah in a few minutes to make sure everything is okayJ). I love black turtlenecks for fall and winter which are great on their own or as a layering piece. I got this cute blazer at TJ Maxx a few years ago (I think I paid $14.99). I so happy it’s Friday, I love the weekends!

I attended an uber chic baby shower today. Guest were encouraged to wear all black and hot pink. I’ve been waiting to wearing this GAP maxi skirt for awhile ($6.99). I grabbed one of my favorite sweaters (Target $5) and added a hot pink scarf (I picked up this scarf in the airport for $10). I look downtown cool! Happy Styling!!

I have wanted some high-waisted jeans for a while now. I got these jeans at The Limited and I love what it does for my butt ($18.99). Neon colors are very trendy for the season. This GAP belt is about all the neon I can take in one outfit ($5.99). When wearing a trend you have to consider your age and wear the trend appropriately. Oh, I threw on a motorcycle jacket because its chili outside. Happy Styling!!

I don’t want to document my outfit I wore to work today because it was just ok. Have you ever had one of those days were you just threw on some clothes and went to work, not really caring about the “style”? Well, I have a date tonight with my sweet 6 year old daughter. We are going to go out to eat, getting our nails done, chat about school, and maybe do some shopping. This is the outfit I plan on wearing out with her.  Slim cords in an interesting color are a hot trend (Old Navy $4.99- I got these in the spring on clearance. I got a pink pair too!). Target shirt and one of my favorite LOFT blazers are super cute and non-momish. I scored these 6 inch platform wedges on a recent trip to NYC (Sam Edelman via Century 21 $69.00- a bit pricey but they are leather and you can get the same shoe at Nordstrom for $250). If you are ever in NYC you have to go to Century 21, it’s like TJ Maxx on steroids…seriously! Happy Styling!!

It was super cold today in TN. I love this Tahari coat I scored at Ruelala.com. I love turtlenecks because they are so timeless and classic (Express $6.99). The Limited pants make me look so tall and lean. I can’t stand being cold so I had the cutest Target checker tights on that peeked from my shoes as I walked. Little touches can make an outfit stand out. Happy Styling!!

In TN its 49 degrees for the high today…woozier! Layers are the key to keep warm and not look bulky. Old Navy mint sweater ($11.98), The Limited white button up, GAP scarf ($8.99), and LOFT pants kept me warm but honestly I had to throw on a rain coat, too. I dislike being cold with a passion so I need to gather all my jackets and coats out of storage. Happy Styling!!

I love when my life is simple and drama free. I try to eliminate the things and even people who don’t add value to my life. I think this outfit is so simple and classic- the way life should be! The dress is from Target (wait for it…$4.98) and Michael Kors animal heels are killer ($36.99 Marti & Liz). I kept the accessories simple, too.  Mondays can be busy but I think this outfit says “chill I got this”! Happy Styling!!

I rarely wear an entire outfit from one store. But today I did, not on purpose of course and I didn’t pick this outfit from the mannequin! LOFT cardigan (via Phase II), tank, belt ($12.25 got on sale reg. $24.50- recent purchase), and pants (owned forever)…ha ha looks great.

Boy was it a rainy and cold day. I had to pull out my London Fog trench (Sam’s Warehouse $14.99). The pink ruffle blouse is very feminine (LOFT $4.88-final sale) and The Limited black and white checker wide leg pants give a sunshine to this gloomy day. Happy Styling!!
This week I’ve tried two new products and I am in LOVE!!! TRESemme’ Freshstart waterless foam shampoo is beyond amazing ($3 Target). I workout 5-6 days a week and I sweat a lot. So I wash my hair every other day but with this new find I think I can wash my hair just twice a week now. The fresh scent and easy to follow instructs make this a keeper. I am a loyal fan of MAC matte primer; really no other primer comes close. However, I have to use extra primer on my eyes so my eye shadows stays in place. Well, E.L.F. has a great eyelid primer that gives me the same results as MAC (even better) and it only cost $1(Target). I am exposed to the elements (rain, sun, humidity, etc) everyday so this primer really holds up. I wish they would come up with a face primer…ummm! Happy Styling!!

I love boutiques! Often times you can find one of a kind pieces that you can’t find at big box retailers. But beware; some of the prices at boutiques are OUTRAGEOUS! I scored this darling jacket at Blush (a small boutique in Brentwood, TN) for $11.99!! I picked this jacket up in the summer so I was looking forward to wearing this in the fall. The sweater and pants were a clearance find at LOFT ($4.99 and $21.88).I am thinking I need to change my shoes to something taller! happy Styling!!

Let me start off by saying you look so GREAT to be 7 months pregnant!! Well, since you will be having a glamorous baby shower I suggested a fitted all black maxi dress. I love to see pregnant women embrace their new and glorious shape! Big larger than life chandelier hot pink earrings will be amazing and go along with the theme! Happy Styling!!

Breast Cancer will affect almost 2 out 4 females in our lifetime. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and the color ribbon is pink. Pink is by far my favorite color. Pink is feminine, strong, delicate, and unique- like a woman! It’s Friday and I choose a pink tee (The Limited- they have really cute tee shirts but catch them on sale, $15 or under) and The Limited back pants. I’ve owned these pants for a few years now and every time I wear them I get great compliments (the bow detail and wide leg pant makes this current and modern). I really don’t think you can own enough black pants and in different styles, just like a pant suit its very transitional! Happy Styling!!

I picked up this LOFT cardigan on final sale ($4.88)!! I love this Express dress and the darting that lends to a womanly shape. Of course I added a skinny shiny patent leather belt to accent my waist. Happy Styling!!

Whoa… I am back! I haven’t technically been gone; my university had their 100th Homecoming celebration so I have been “out and about” all weekend enjoying old friends, tailgating, and parties! It’s fall time in Tennessee…beautiful! Today we didn’t have a cloud in the sky but the low was in the 40’s. I love the color of this GAP blazer ($19.99) it screams fall harvest. I like the draped fabric that looks like ribbons peeping out of the bottom of the blazer. I paired a basic tank and The Limited pants for a pulled together look. Happy Styling!!
