   It's Summer 2017 Fashion 101: Wear dressy high heels with a pair of well-loved jeans-it's all about the element of surprise..a match made in fashion heaven! The combination of ratty jeans and dressy heels gives your outfit a refreshingly unpredictable vibe!  My jeans are the Tomgirl Jeans by American Eagle Outfitters- if you hurry, you can snag them on sale @ buy one get one 50% off :)

    This silky top is the perfect balance with the distressed boyfriend jeans. The delicate silk adds a feminine touch to this all over "distressed" look.

     In fashion, rule-breaking is a must. 

Sometimes two wrongs can definitely 

make a right!

Summer Stripes and Palazzos

    There is  a certain swag in a wide legged, flowy trouser that is really appealing. Because of their wide leg and light fabric, palazzo trousers are perfect for keeping you cool on hot summer days. What I love the most about the palazzos is that they are chic, trendy, and flattering at the same time… not to mention they give off that ’70s vibe!

Similar Crop Top-Lulu’s 

    Before purchasing palazzo trousers, consider the length. If they are too short, you will look chunky; if they are too long, you risk looking sloppy...or as we say in Alabama, "frumpy". That is a word isn’t it?? Palazzo pants should float along as you walk, but you shouldn’t be tripping over them.

 

     Jazz up your palazzo trousers with accessories that have the same relaxed look and feel. A handbag with a slouchy shape echoes the silhouette of the pants.

IN RED

    

 Soooo - 

    I’ve been MIA on the blog scene for a bit.  Let me tell ya’... school has been kicking my booty! I’m determined to try and stay a little more focused this semester, but Valentine’s day is right around the corner and I just had to squeeze in a minute of blog time to share this dress! 

    This is Zarita by Diane Von Furstenberg. It’s available in red, black, navy, and nude. You can find Zarita here. I’ve even spotted her at poshmark.com and lyst.com at half the price! 

Where ya’ at, Cupid?!

Backless - Pacsun Pt 2

    
    Well, THANK YOU JESUS...the rain has FINALLY stopped and as promised...I'm sharing another piece of my PacSun haul (if you missed my last post, you just have to click here and read about PacSun's incredible sale that is happening now).

     This simple little sweater by Kendall and Kylie is a showstopper... and under twenty bucks! I'd love one in every color!  Made my day when I saw the exact sweater by Free People for $65! #winning:):)

Stir Crazy Rainy Daze- Pacsun

     

    
    Here in Alabama it has been raining non-stop since Saturday.  I don’t mean look at the lovely sprinkles kind of rain either, but torrential downpours.  I have spent three days in the house with both parents, two large wet dogs, and a cat. 

   The rain stopped for (literally) five minutes and I was able to do a fast shoot about an incredible sale that you don’t want to miss!

    I'm not sure if I ever remember shopping at Pacsun before,  butttt when I was home during Christmas there was one in a shopping center nearby.  I ended up in PacSun and while looking at the sale rack, the lady told me it was buy one get TWO free. WHAT?... they were practically giving away clothes! So I grabbed this adorable jean skirt, sweater, and also a few other outfits that I will be showing you soon! I still can't believe that I bought EIGHT pieces for a little over $100.00!!!   

   
     Pacsun is currently having  50% off in-store items, buy one get TWO free off of clearance items, and free shipping when you spend over $49! Now...THAT is my kind of sale!  

In Theory...The Cozy Little Cape Coat

 

      Cape Coats are my current obsession.  Not only are they toasty warm and so darn chic... they are the epitome of cloaked glamour!  You can guarantee no basic girl is wearing one of these! 

   My all black look consists of a wool-cashmere blend cape by Theory, a ribbed turtleneck and faux leather leggings.  I had planned on wearing my over the knee suedes.. but decided on leopard lace ups for a little bit of attitude;)

Theory Cape, Kapalin (found it @ 50% off!)

Eva Varro Faux Leather Leggings
Leopard Heels, Breckelle Isabel 151
Fur Ball Beanie, Jcrew

An AWESOME alternative to the pricey Theory cape...
