Dressing up a Plain T

Well it was a plain T kind of day but I wanted to add something that would give it a little style.  Plain T's are perfect for adding a fashionable necklace, even something on the chunkier side will work well.  When I'm in the stores, I always try and take a peak at their jewelry.  You never know what you'll find on their sale or clearance wall, just might be the necklace you've been looking for!

This necklace was a Kohl's find - clearance tag for $8.00.  Try not to over spend on fashion jewelry, it's better to get a few different pieces on sale that you can switch around then spending a lot on one necklace.

Have fun with it!

Colorful Layers & My New Ride!

I'm back!  Sorry I haven't had a chance to write, just a little crazy in my life! :)

I wanted to keep it short and sweet tonight, but here is the focus of my look today!  My shirt was plain white, it has pretty layered and ruffled details but needed some color.  The perfect touch to a simple or plain shirt is a piece of Jewelry.  I chose a layered colorful necklace that had dimension.  You could also go with snazzy earrings to add to a simple look.  This piece was a great find, can you guess where I got it??

American Eagle!!  Next time you're walking by it in the mall take a spin through the jewelry.  They always have really cute stuff and great prices :)

I had to show my new ride - pretty stylish huh?? I LOVE it!

Pretty funny story... 

I put a deposit down on a Honda Accord Coupe and went home to unpack my car (2009 Mini) and I just couldn't do it.  When we were walking off the Honda lot, my dad said "well that's a big girl car,"  I think that must of stuck with me because the next morning I called Honda and cancelled the deal.  Next phone call was to Mini and yesterday afternoon I was back where I belong!  Just wasn't ready for the big girl car, I still need sporty and excitement!  Any thoughts on a name?? I'm thinking she might be the new Jezzy :)

They say once a mini driver, always a mini driver...

Layered beaded necklace finishes the look!

Day two of the week and I went with another plain shirt and added a layered necklace for some detail. Think of the plain shirt as a blank canvas and now you have to add something to make it a piece of art. Color, chunky, or statement necklaces are perfect to finish the look!

My mom gave me this piece (she has great taste!) it's a made by BCBG. I love the detail with the flower petals - notice they're hearts :)

I picked up this shirt at Forever 21! I love this store when I find stuff but it usually only comes after trying on 20 things and digging in the racks. The chest pockets and cinched waist are my favorite details. Perfect for the office and can be dressed down too!  Never go in there when its a mob scene, pick the off hours or weekdays so you can take your time!  

Like I said yesterday, add a statement necklaces to your jewelry box!

Layered necklace from embroidery thread

I'm back!  What a change from last weeks weather, I'd like the sunny and beautiful days back please!  I woke up this morning and wanted to wear something cozy but obviously had to be professional for the office.  I ended up choosing this basic cotton gray sweater.  I picked it up at Ann Taylor Loft and love how light weight it is.  While its a pretty simple design, I really like the satin strip on the back over the shoulders - just enough to make it a little different!

On to the best part of my look today - the Necklace!  This was a Jersey Shore find, yes the same one you'll find snooky at :)  If you're ever that way, make sure to stop at the B&B Department Store - great finds at great prices!  I saw this necklace and had to have it, simple but so different!  You could probably make it yourself, just embroidery thread and silver o rings.  I knew I would never sit down and do it and I think it was around $9.99.  

Tip:  Add a funky/different necklace to something basic to finish the look.  It also allows the piece to be the focus point.   

Monday... check.

Back home after a long day, I wanted to get tonights post up earlier than usual for you to take a peak at.  BTW the feather necklace from today was a huge hit, scroll down if you missed it.

This look is for spring, but I think its time to pull it out.  Sheer blouses are all over the place right now so make sure you get some in your closet.  I picked up this one at Marshalls, $16.99!  While its mostly tan, I love the floral pattern all over it - subtle but adds some color!  I'm obsessed with the back, isn't the extra detail hanging over the shoulders and back so cute?!  I have to admit, thats what sold me.  With this color scheme I think gold goes best so I have paired a crossbody purse with it, the olive green color nicely compliments the shirt.  For jewelry I'm going to stick with gold and go with a layered piece.  I like to add layered necklaces to shirts like this to add dimension.  I'm sure I'll be sporting my chunky gold watch and some bangles to match.  

It was FREEZING today so I think I'm going to pull out skinny pants and throw boots back on for tomorrow.  Either a brown or tan boot would be perfect with this outfit.

Tip: Add sheer to your wardrobe.
