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!

T-shirt: Marshalls

Sweater: Ann Taylor Loft 

Necklace: Kohl's 

First Fall Sweater - Weekend Fashion Find

Well this morning was pretty crisp - the reality that Fall has set in.  It was one of those mornings that I wanted to wear something cozy.  I thought I'd be saving it for a colder day, but I ended up picking my weekend fashion find!  What do you think?  I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it.  A long tan sweater, with accent yellow stripes - the style and fit are what make it.  I love the oversized collar and pockets - the subtle detail give it great styling.

Best part?  I spotted it for $15.00 on Marshalls clearance rack - can't get better than that!

Pairing it with a plain white T and dark straight leg jeans left the focus on the sweater.  Simple yet really cute! :)

Tip:  Get in the stores and check out the clearance racks - there are perfect fall pieces just hanging there!

Summer Blue with a Braided Wedge

Here I am!  This summer has been a busy one, always jumping from one thing to the next :)

I've caught some great deals so far this summer, including these tan braided wedges!  I was taking a stroll through Gap over the weekend when I noticed them on a shelf in the back.  There were a lot of red and blue pairs, but just one pair of tan and what do you know... just my size too - 7!  The tan wedge is definitely in this year, and a braided strap is pretty popular.  I tried them on and they caught my eye immediately, I love the gold buckle and cork bottom, I knew I'd get a lot of wear out of them - perfect for the office!  Stop by your Gap and see if they have a pair, on sale for $35.99!

I knew I wanted to wear shorts so I pulled out a white pair at knee length, great for work.  Still keeping the clothing simple, but needing a little flare I chose a t-shirt that cut longer in the front, cinched on the sides and down the spine of the back.  The shorts are something I've had for awhile from Gap and the shirt was a Marshalls clearance find!  Always keep an eye out for the basics on the clearance rack, they always come in handy!  I didn't go crazy with jewelry, I added a leopard headband for some snaz :)

Cute summer wear!

The humidity is killing me... its a must to go with a dress or skirt in this weather.  Today I went with one of my favorites, a ruffle layered skirt from Ann Taylor Loft.  I've worn it in the past but this time I paired light colors for more of a summer look.  Wanting the skirt to be the focus, I wore a simple heather gray T (Marshalls). I like to wear fitted plain t's with skirts, easy to tuck in and doesn't get all bunched in the waist.


My accent color for the look was gold.  I wore my chunky gold watch (Speidel), gold ruffle sandals (Madden Girl), gold wire headband (the LOFT) and lastly, my new find - long gold layered necklace! I love this new piece, well first I must explain... I'm pretty sure I accidentally threw out my favorite layered gold necklace, you'll see it in posts below.  It was simple with two strands, and had small knots on each layer - I LOVED it!  I'm still pretty devastated about it but in the mean time I had to try and find a replacement.


What do you think?  I think its pretty cute!  I like the layered strands and think the flower and diamond piece are great details!  Guess where its from... believe it or not I was in Kohl's this weekend with my mom and noticed it on the clearance rack... thanks Lauren Conrad :)

Tip: Keep the colors light to stay cool

Sweatshirt Blazer - you need one!

Its been pretty drab weather out there so I've been pulling the boots back out and wearing comfortable clothes.  Today I went with one of my favorite blazers, its a gray sweatshirt blazer by Hurley.  Super cute with the cuffed sleeves and bronze buttons.  Sticking with the gray color scheme, I went with a zig zag t-shirt that has cranberry, olive green, and black all in it. This T is from GAP. To add a little pop, I wore a long beaded white necklace.  Amongst the beads there are crystal and gold beads for accent.  Believe it or not, the necklace I was rockin' today came from my 90 year old Nana's jewelry box, vintage I guess :)

Hope you like the look!

 

Bright BLUE Dress

With beautiful weather for another day a dress was definitely on the list!  Today I pulled out a recent find from Marshalls, this simple but detailed bright BLUE dress.  I normally don't choose a blue like this but I loved it when I tried it on.  For a necklace I chose my thin shiny silver piece.  It went really well with the solid blue - stood out perfectly!  For shoes I went with my favorite flats from Steve Madden, simple black with some shine.  I swear heels and wedges can be more comfortable than flats.  Flats always eat my heels!

Don't you love the ruffles! 

Tip: Don't be afraid to add some color to your wardrobe, especially with this beautiful weather!








You've seen this shirt before but I wanted to show you what it looks like on!  Perfect after work T for hanging out.  This was a one of my recent finds from the World of Dance show, its by Custom Junky - really cool stuff, check it out www.customjunky.com 

Comfy for a looong Monday! Layers

First off I want to welcome our new Jezzy audience's - we have readers from 10 countries!  Keep coming back, Jezzy has a lot to share!

I had a lazy sunday, it did include the gym though!  I just checked out the 6-day on my phone... depressing - spring days please come back!  Monday's are always really long for me, work all day, meeting with students and then class (yes I'm back in school, good times).  Considering what my day will look like tomorrow, I want to look appropriate for work but still comfortable.

I chose a layered look for the top.  I can NEVER have enough basic white t's.  Whether they are fitted or loose I can't leave them in the store when I see a good one.  The one for tomorrow is a recent Marshalls find, $7.99 - nothing like a new crisp white T :).  I'm layering over a gray short sweater that has 3/4 length sleeves.  I'm pairing the white t with it because of how short it is in the front.  I found this sweater in the clearance racks at Marshalls and knew I could do a lot with it.  For a necklace, I'm either wearing a long crystal pendant or something short and colorful.  For bottoms I'm going with simple black bootcut pants and black heels.

Wait a minute, nope I'm definitely wearing this feather necklace tomorrow!  I bought it so long and haven't even worn it yet.  I think it might have even been around Thanksgiving.

Tip: If love something when you're shopping but don't know what to wear it with, just get it and you'll find something.  Look at the feather necklace, I had no idea what I was wearing with it.

Hope everyone has a great Monday, I'll be back tomorrow night.
