Fashion Friday – Custom, unique pieces are simpler than you think

HAPPY FRIDAY!

The Mister and I have a big weekend ahead of us! Tonight we’re meeting up with my family to take my mom out to celebrate her retirement! Tomorrow I’m singing for a wedding service and then heading to the Mister’s cousin’s wedding. I LOVE weddings, so I’m super excited ;)

Sunday I’m hoping to get some errands done and hopefully meet up with  Jenn or my mom! What are all of you up to?

This week’s outfit was stylish, comfortable and classic — just the way I like it ;)

In the mix:

  • Jacket:  Target
  • Shirt: BCBG
  • Pants: Express
  • Shoes: Gianni Bini

Note about the jacket: This jacket was NOT as cute as it appears when I bought it from Target. But I loved the color, cut and fabric. But with tacky, plastic buttons it looked pretty cheap. Quick fix? BUTTON BOUTIQUES – or JoAnn Fabrics. By simply changing out the buttons it completely transforms the look! I selected vintagey, yet modern silver buttons. Ever since, I’ve been kind of obsessed with this jacket. Isn’t it fabulous? Plus side of customizing your clothes? They are 100% unique to YOU!

Do you customize your clothes? What are your tricks?

Fashion Friday

HAPPY FRIDAY! Aren’t short weeks just simply fabulous?! I concur.

I only have one outfit to share this week because I’m lazy my camera was dead 4/5 days.

I’m mildly obsessed with this dress – it is so lightweight and comfy! But still quite structured and chic – don’t you agree?

In the mix:

Cardigan (one of my favorites!) – LOVE that this cardigan gives a pop of color, but is still incredibly neutral – I can wear it with anything!: SAKS

Dress: Kohls!

Belt: Anthopologie

What is everyone up to this weekend? The Mister and I are busy bees! Headed to Pittsburgh for an Anberlin concert tonight (and I’m thinking Jimmy Johns might be involved), I have a fashion show and then dinner/party with friends tomorrow and Sunday will be spent hanging out with our friend Allen, who is in town from LA. I’ll be sure to capture all the fun ;)

See ya’ll later for the Daily Delish!

Fashion Friday – Jumpsuit – Yay or Nay?

Happy FRIDAY! The weekend is SO CLOSE! Any big plans? I’m heading to a Bachelorette party on Sunday with two of my bestest friends – I cannot wait! I’m sure I’ll have lots of fun to share ;)

In the meantime, let’s get to those outfits, shall we?!

I adore the versatility of this wrap dress. I like that I can make it work appropriate by adding leggings and a black shirt. I also love how I can lose both of those items for a sexy, but sophisticated look – perfect for a date with my Mister!

In the mix:

Dress: Boutique in Cleveland — if you are really interested, email me and I’ll tell you — this place is one of my secrets, so I don’t give it out often ;) (p.s. – how much do we love this color? answer: A LOT!)

Shoes: Gianni Bini

Black shirt: BCBG

Necklace: Betsey Johnson

This next look you will love or hate. I happen to love it. I’ve seen some jumpsuits that look horrific but I fell in love with this outfit as soon as I put it on.

Jumpsuit: Anthropologie

PINK flats: Ann Klein

How do you feel about jumpsuits? Love or hate?

Fashion Friday – Bringin’ back the fashionistas!

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Lots of entries this week, so I just decided to share just one outfit – I’ll leave the rest of the fun to the Fashionistas!

Sorry for the terrible photos! My photographer (the Mister) was pressed for time every morning I needed a photo!

In the mix:

Shirt: Anthropologie

Cardigan: SAKS

Skirt: It’s actually this dress from Anthropologie

Shoes: Gucci

Welcome, Ann! How cute is she? I LOVE this layered look. As you all know I am all about mixing textures, colors and patterns and Ann has mastered this technique with this laid back outfit. Not only does it look cute, but incredibly comfortable, too! But of course even a paper bag would look pretty on Ann ;)

  • Top tank top: JCrew (cream with applique flowers)
  • Bottom tank top: JCrew (dusty pink)
  • Shorts: Banana Republic (black and white check)
  • Jacket: JCrew (brown and cream)
  • Flipflops: American Eagle (white)

Welcome, Jake! As much as I love all you ladies, I am quite thrilled to have another man participate (it’s a rare occurrence!). Men — take note from Jake and PARTICIPATE. It’s so much more fun ;)

I’m pretty much obsessed with this sweatshirt that reads: Free Nature. So comfy! Jake said it’s from Urban Outfitters, and I may just have to buy myself the Mister one ;)

Trista’s outfit makes a fun, casual weekend look. Of course I love the bright blue accent color and the neutral tone of the scarf to balance it all out.

  • Jeans: Express
  • Shoes: Target
  • Jacket: Burlington Coat Factory
  • Hat: H&M
  • Shirt: JC Penney
  • Scarf: TJ Maxx

LOVE THIS, Donna. Classic weekend look. I’m quite impressed by the neutral shoes and denim bag. They both keep the look from looking too dark or heavy. Genius!

How lovely is this? So feminine. So spring-like. So vintage. This reminds me of something from Mad Men (and you know I love me my Joan Halloway ;) ), but with a modern twist on it. I love the muted color palette. Great look, Marissa!

And this week’s randomly selected winner is….

I hope to see more of you participate next month! I got lots of emails saying you WOULD, but no follow-through! Prizes are at stake, people!

Have a great afternoon and I’ll see ya’ll later for the Daily Delish.

p.s. Grey’s last night. SERIOUSLY?

Fashion Friday

So I lied.

Oops.

Turns out I completely forget to remind you all that this week was supposed to be Fashion Friday CONTEST WEEK! So in order to keep things fair, because I’m not down with hate-mail, I will postpone the contest till next week. And I’ll remind you — scouts honor! Although, I wasn’t a scout, I was an Indian Princess ;) I digress, you get the idea.

This week I’m featuring two outfits. They are kind sub-par, but the weather was weird this week, so you can’t hate on me! It’s hard to plan outfits in icky, unpredictable weather!

The first:

Simple, I know. That’s why I added these:

I know, right?

In the mix:

  • Jacket – SO OLD, I have no idea!
  • Sweater (sleeveless, BTW) – Hugo Boss
  • Skirt – Anthropologie
  • Shoes – Nordstrom (can’t remember the brand)

This next outfit I’m actually wearing today. I love it because it makes me smile. It’s comfy, flattering and has a bright pop of COLOR – just the way I like it ;)

In the mix:

  • JEGGINGS (jeans + leggings): Hue
  • Tshirt: C&C California
  • Sweater: SAKS
  • Necklace: Marc Jacobs
  • Shoes: Kenzie
