OOTD 7/31

Happy Sunday, friends! I seriously cannot believe tomorrow is August 1st!!! Holy cow where has the time gone?! My summer is almost gone and I'll be off to grad school in 2 1/2 weeks, which is kinda scary and kind of exciting! Today I wore this cute sleeveless burgundy blouse with a pencil skirt and some flats! A very effortless, business professional outfit that is perfect for church or work! I love dressing up, so this was a fun outfit to put together! I'm also wearing my gorgeous rose gold Citizen watch and my rose gold/silver initial necklace from an Etsy shop! I'll have everything linked below as usual! Happy August!!!! 

P.S. I'll hopefully be doing a blogpost soon about some skincare AND another post about what to wear to a wedding!

OOTD 7/24

Happy Sunday, friends! Today I wore my gorgeous floral dress from Hazel & Olive Boutique! Unfortunately, this particular dress is not available anymore, BUT, I will have the same style dress with a different (but still absolutely adorable) patterns and I'll also have a short version of my maxi dress with the exact same pattern linked below. This maxi dress can be worn off the shoulder or on the shoulder. Below, I have styled it with my favorite jean jacket and below that, I wore it on the shoulder. I love how flowy and light it is! It can be a little see-through, but with the proper undergarments, there is not issue! I love this dress so much!!! I highly suggest you check out Hazel&Olive! They have SO many adorable dresses for a great price! They are true to size and great quality! Plus they offer free shipping! Love them so much!

Styling Graphic Tees

I love graphic tees, but sometimes it's hard to figure out how to dress them up or make them look cute! So I've compiled some outfit inspiration pictures and where to purchase similar articles of clothing in order to recreate a similar look!  I hope you enjoy this post! Shop the products by clicking the linked clothing pieces below each picture. 

The first look takes a simple plaid shirt and makes it edgy by adding pleather jeggings along with the tee. Add red lipstick to look edgy and chic!

The second look is a great one for events. A fun, colorful pleated sequin midi skirt will add the wow-factor to the outfit and the simple worded tee will add a little lightheartedness to the ensemble.

The third outfit is great for school or a casual work day. Take a denim jacket and throw it on over your tee, pair with cropped slacks and finish with some fun leopard print flats or slip-ons.

The fourth look is a comfortable outfit to wear to class but it still looks put together. Take a simple cardigan and layer it over your tee. Spice the outfit up with a fun necklace and some patterned flats.

The fifth and final outfit is great to wear to work or church. Take a white boyfriend blazer and pair it with black jeggings and a grey tee. Then add some fun colorful shoes and a crystal statement necklace to add some fun to the look.

Kirkland's Haul

Oh my gosh, who else loves Kirkland's?! I'm obsessed now. We just walked into one while we were walking along the Branson Landing and it was AMAZING. I love home decor and interior design so Kirkland's was right up my alley. So much cute decor for an amazing price! While I was in Branson, I  purchased the spoon rest, C plate and the Bible verse wall decor. Then, while I was in Springfield, I purchased the rest! They have amazing sales and the cutest and classiest merchandise. Plus they're Christian owned, which is always a plus for me!
