Weekend OOTD: Comfort & Style

December 1, 2017

I have a knack for buying clothes based on texture – especially during the winter time, when I crave extra softness and warmth.

As much as I love comfort, I feel like most of these clothes just aren’t cute or stylish enough to wear out and about. Like a pair of old sweatpants, they just look sloppy.

This is why I love Loft’s Lounge  collection! Cute and cozy is seriously the best of both worlds.

And no, these clothes aren’t just for lounging – with just the right accessories, they can be dressed up perfectly.

Holiday Party Fashion Essentials

November 25, 2017

From Christmas to New Years – and all the fun parties in-between – ’tis the season to make a fashion statement!

A Spin on the Classic LBD

“One is never underdressed or overdressed with a Little Black Dress.” – Coco Chanel

The Little Black Dress, or the LBD. does it all. It flatters your figure, it accentuates your natural beauty, and it can be used and re-worn on a variety of occasions. Need I say more? For my Friendsgiving event, I wore a cold-shoulder style dress purchased from Loft. It’s simple but chic.

Outfit of the Day : Casual & Chic

November 10, 2017

 

“I’ve always thought of accessories as the exclamation point of a women’s outfit.” – Michael Kors

Couldn’t of said it better myself. Seriously, I think ANY outfit can be dressed up with a cute statement necklace, layered bracelets, or the perfect handbag.

I’m also a firm believer that putting a little extra effort into your outfit each and every day can help you to have a better, and more enjoyable day! This is why I have decided to begin sharing my #OOTD, or Outfit of the Day.

The weather outside has begun to get colder and I’ve been looking for different ways to layer up without necessarily wearing a jacket.IMG_3048

On days like yesterday, when it was about 55 degrees outside and slightly sunny, I was able to wear a turtleneck shirt and a poncho. Both of these layers are lightweight but offered me just the right amount of warmth.

To accessorize, I chose a simple adjustable chain gold necklace. I think the gold in the necklace really compliments the gold on my bag, and is simple enough so that it doesn’t clash with the pattern of the poncho.

This was the perfect outfit for a day spent walking around Providence and getting lunch with my boyfriend. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing and reading inside of the Athenaeum – a breathtakingly beautiful little library perfect for book nerds like me!
