In My Closet | Daring Floral

I bought these jeans earlier this year and got a great deal on them. They aren’t something I would have paid full price for because they are trendy and not something I’d get a lot of use out of. But they are so pretty!

I asked my Instagram followers a couple weeks back to help me with what to pair with them. I tried gray, beige and chambray…all of them pretty drab. The fashionable ladies of Instagram recommended jewel tone and it was perfect! I think it definitely needs to be a blue/green or magenta jewel tone. An emerald looked odd and purple was a no go. This was the only option left in my closet and I like how it looks. I even changed out the jewelry – one set golds, the other silver – for two different looks.

Blouse | Mossimo for Target (I think this would be a great color too)
Jeans | The Limited
Shoes | Franco Sarto (try this pair!)
Earrings| Vintage (good option)
Bracelets| World Market (or these)

And with silver jewelry…maybe a little more casual? A different shoe would help dress it down too. I like these

I am excited to go out and find a few more shirts that would work especially some that aren’t as dressy so I can wear the jeans more often.

In My Closet | Pretty in Lace

I really should go shopping more often with my younger sister, Jessica. I always find better deals and she keeps me from making bad choices. Sometimes you really need more than just that voice in your head.

Before she left for Europe, we did a quick trip to Kohl’s together. I hadn’t been in a long while even though I love the Lauren Conrad and Simply Vera lines they carry. They usually have good sales racks too. Never buy anything full price at Kohl’s. It’s a rip off. They have way too many promotions anyway if you don’t mind a few extra emails a month.

This dress is one of the deals we scored that day. Only $20 plus 15% off. I had been eying the lace dresses for a while now but didn’t want to pay too much for this trend. I actually even wore this outfit for James’ birthday dinner downtown. It’ll make a great summer go-to dress and I can even see it transitioning into fall with a great pair of boots and leather coat.

Dress | Sonoma from Kohl’s
Shoes | Nine West from forever ago but these would be cute too!
Earrings | Vintage
Bracelets | Don’t remember…
