I am by no means a fashion blogger (check out my instagram for some entertaining selfie attempts) and I am barely what one would call fashionable in real life. I am comfiest in a pair of pyjama yoga pants and loose shirt. My poor husband!
A couple days ago I bought a pair of earrings because I had an important dinner meeting and forgot to put on any jewelry besides my wedding rings and I felt blah. So I saw this pair of cute earrings on sale and I thought why not? They made me feel a little less dowdy... the fact that I showed up in a pant suit and everyone else was in jeans and comfy sweaters with cute scarves kind of sucked but at least it wasn't the other way around. I like the earrings so much that I wore them again yesterday and I was honestly really impressed that I mixed patterns - seriously, this was a big step for me.
I even took a selfie to document the moment:
After taking eleventh selfies and settling on the best one (seriously, above) I decided I need to make more of an effort. So I obviously went straight to Pinterest to find a couple looks that might work for me. Of course I fell in love with fifty but this outfit basically sums it all up: comfortable, cute and oh so versatile.
It also means I need to invest in some items (yay shopping!):
- quality black leggings (my TNA pair have seen some better days)
- two tunic style shirts (light colours)
- a soft gray cardigan (like the one above)
- a statement necklace (bright and colourful)
- a long necklace (not pictured)
So now I need suggestions from all of you - where do I go to get these items without breaking the bank??
Check Target for the cardigan. They have a ton of super cute boyfriend-style cardigans right now!
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessed with Baublebar for all my statement jewelry. It's fairly inexpensive and great quality!
Um ok...so I almost wrote the same exact same post as you, including the same pin, ha! Even our titles are similar. I changed mine up last minute to more explain my lack of fashion, but I appreciate knowing there is another gal like me out there :)
ReplyDeleteWhere do you do most of your shopping? I'm not a fashion blogger either, but I love getting quality statement items that will last me more than one season. I find that some stuff from Target or Old Navy only lasts 1 year...no good in my book!
