Create28~My Recap

April 30, 2015

Drum Roll….the Giveaway Winner of the Nordstrom’s Gift Card was Darcy Lynn! Congrats, lady! Enjoy!!

Can you believe the month of April is coming to a close? Amazing! It has just flown by and so did Create28 Lovely Spring Looks. Yesterday, Whitney did a recap of her top three favorite looks. I’m going to follow suit today and feature mine.

My absolute favorite look from Create28 was this easy peasy look. I think coral is fast becoming my new favorite color. This look was the Bright Colors prompt.

My second favorite look is the Leopard Print prompt. One of a girls’ BFFs for sure {at least this girl}.

My third favorite look was the Patterned Bottoms prompt. These pants have quickly become a favorite piece in wardrobe. I always feel chic and bold when I wear them.

I hope you have enjoyed Create28 Lovely Spring Looks. As much as I have enjoyed it, I think it was easier for me to put together Create28 Lovely Looks during the month of February. I am so partial to fall and winter pieces that I really needed a push for Spring. Create28 did help me and I hope it helped you. We surely have plenty of Spring left to create some stunning style, friends.

Hope your day is especially lovely, friends!

Spring Style Me Challenge ~ Week 3

April 29, 2015

Drum Roll….the Giveaway Winner of the Nordstrom’s Gift Card was Darcy Lynn! Congrats, lady! Enjoy!!

Here it is already, Spring Style Me Challenge ~ Week 3. The Get Your Pretty On Facebook has been rocking and tons of fun. The ladies are styling Alison’s prompts and creating gorgeous looks. Some follow the prompts and stay on script while use the prompt as a jumping off point. All in all it is so fun to see so much great style from a variety of ladies.

This week I’m featuring looks from Day 11-Day 16. For the most part, I followed the prompts. Admittedly, I am having a little difficulty transitioning into my new super casual environment at work. It’s a big change from business casual and I am re-learning my wardrobe and how to remix my pieces in a different way. Transition….it just takes a little time to rewire my brain.

Day 11 ~ Striped dress with bright flats + I added a scarf for a little more interest.

Day 12 ~ Colored denim, white tank with chambray and wedges. I skipped the tank and swapped my olive skinny jeans for these bright colored ones.

Day 13~ White denim, grey tee and caridgan + wedges. I am on script this day.

Day 14 ~ Striped dress, scarf + sandals. On script for this day, except the shoes!

Day 15 ~ Colored denim, polka dot blouse + wedges. Love this look because green and blue are a favorite color combination of mine.

Day 16 ~ Floral skirt, tank/tee, cardigan + sandals. No floral skirt {unfortunately} so I went with this look instead. We took lots of pictures and sadly this one was the best. Sometimes you just have to go with it.

Create28~Whitney’s Recap

April 29, 2015

We have come to the end of Create28: Lovely Spring Looks! I hope that you have had as much fun as I have exploring your closet with our daily prompts! In my opinion, they really gave me creative direction without being as restrictive as certain capsule wardrobe challenges. Photographing my outfits every other day has been quite the task, so I’m looking forward to going back to my usual blogging pace. However, I’ve loved the prompts so much, I might make up my own from here on out! Otherwise, I’m going to feel lost when I look into my closet tomorrow!

I’ve been proud of most of the outfits I’ve put together this month but here are my top three! I think what I like the best about these ensembles are their feminine feel and fun prints.

Spring Jacket

Dresses

Leopard Print

What feels really great is that I don’t have any outfits to list as my least favorites. Sure, I have a few that didn’t photograph as well as I would have liked, but in general, I like what I wore this month!

In terms of stand-out pieces that I wore a bunch, my denim jacket, mint cardigan and new Converse sneakers got a lot of love! To me, these are quintessential pieces for transitioning into warmer weather.

What looks did you love the most this month? Which pieces have you been reaching for over and over?

And finally, merci beaucoup for following along with Carrie and me this month! I hope you’ll keep stopping by! Stay tuned for Carrie’s recap tomorrow!

Create28~Day 28 Leopard Print

April 28, 2015

Is leopard print a girl’s best friend? If not the BFF then at least the top 10 or top 5. I’m not sure if any style challenge is complete without a little leopard print. For me, I have leopard print in a variety of categories like shoes, belts, tops and scarves. I love a little subtle or not to subtle pop of leopard print. Since I have a few options, today I’m choosing a leopard print scarf to style. As I put this simple look together, I thought it embodied a casual look that I really love.

I adore a simple grey tee and pair that with white and a chic look easily evolves. Adding the leopard print simply takes it to another level. Simple, casual and chic.

Wow! I can’t believe we’ve made it to my last look of Create28: Lovely Spring Looks! And you know what? I think I saved the best for last!

I feel like this outfit really represents me and what I want my personal style to be. I love the feminine cut of the dress, the whimsical bird print and the fun pattern mixing!
