Home Decor Refresh

With my Christmas money burning a hole in my pocket, I finally had to just pull the trigger and spend it! I wasn't really interested in adding more clothes to my closet (that is literally bursting at the seams) so I went with the idea of a little home decor refresh. 

I was in the market for a few new items to dress up a rather empty hallway. I knew I wanted to add some color because, well, I'm just ready for color I guess. I've been mostly decorating with white and black in the living room and kitchen (it's just one open space) for several years. Now it's time for a change up!

I got two new pieces!

  A large green ombre macrame wall hanging and a pretty floral tapestry.

On the left side, I hung the macrame

I love it! I made sure to measure it so it would fit the space perfectly.

On the opposite side, I hung the loral tapestry. I love how the slight shades of green pick up the greens in the macrame.

So cute! I have a little bit of space at the end of the hallway that still needs to be filled. I would love to do some textured pieces...maybe some flat woven art of some sort. I'm going to check the thrift stores for some ideas too.

I bought both of these pieces from Amazon and I will add the links below.

The Green Macrame $36.99

Floral Tapestry $14.99

I picked up this long sleeve tunic with cute little elbow patches from Amazon over Christmas for $19.99. It's actually a pretty good top so I wanted to share.

I've got a video review over on Instagram. It comes in 7 colors with one of them being white with no elbow patches. I do recommend sizing up if you like your tunic tops to be on the longer side.

I love the light red color. And the green! And the white!

The leggings are from H&M and the boots were a gift from my mom a few years ago from Sears and well, Sears is no more. Make sure your leggings are always on the thicker side and are NOT see through! I think a pair of tall brown riding boots would look great with this outfit. Or a short black heeled ankle boot for a sleek look.

I got a pair of velour leggings at Christmas that I wanted to style up and share with you. I know - Velour!?! Isn't that just for grandma's? No! 

The first look is sporty and cozy with a warm sweater and sneakers. The second look I attempted to dress them up a little bit but I don't think these are the ideal boots. Honestly I think a wedge ankle bootie would actually be the best but I don't have a pair of those! Darn. The last look is really just a shoe change into a more blingy fashion sneaker.

The leggings are VERY SOFT. They are a perfect length. I'm 5'4" for reference. I am wearing a Medium and it fits true to size.

The leggings are from Amazon. There are a lot of colors and not all have the two stripes on the side. Price is$18.95

My white sweater is thrifted from a local thrift shop but here is a very similar one under $40 on Amazon.

White Adidas Cloud foam Sneakers here.

My black blazer is thrifted as well! But Target has a great one right now for $35.

My Chambray Tunic is from Target. It's from a few years ago but here is one on the Target website now.

My black boots are from Walmart! Now, normally I don't get shoes at Walmart because I stopped getting cheap shoes a few years back. I've slowly built up a curated shoe army of comfy boots, Birkenstocks and sensible heels. I'm actually impressed with these Time&Tru boots though. I got them on clearance for $9.00 so I really didn't feel like I had to commit at that price! If I hate them in a year and need to consign them it won't break my heart. They are $19.97 on the website right now. You could check your local Walmart to see if they happen to still be on clearance.

My fashion sneakers are from DSW. I have had mine for a few years and I love how they can take a simple outfit and just spice it up a tad.

Full videos of this try on session is saved in my highlights section on Instagram:

Life Lately {Get Organized in 2017!}

There was a lot of junk in this junk drawer! So I tackled it with a drawer organizer and got my self straightened out!

Starting 2017 a little more organized.

AHHH....It feels so much better!

Here is the drawer I bought on amazon.com

The before...SERIOUSLY?!?

You can move the dividers around to make it fit just how you like it.

It felt so good, I bought a second one and organized the kitchen gadget drawer too!

Really Loving...Neutrals

Oh man oh man I am really ready for spring this year. But who isn't? The polar vortex will do that to you I guess. I was talking with a friend and she mentioned that last summer we had a lot of rain. We had a bitter winter and a soggy last summer. I think we are all ready for those windows in the house to be open with fragrant cross breezes. I love it when my hydrangea starts to bloom and I can bring those beautiful bright blue blooms inside. Ahhhh..... In the meantime, let's get ready for the trends that are hitting for this upcoming season: Neutrals! Off whites, pale palettes and soft colors. I love this. Let's shed the black harshness and welcome the breezy whites. I am a sucker for simple, polished outfits that seem effortless. Something new (and will continue) is that I have included some plus size options in the selections below as well!

1. A basic neutral dress is a blank canvas. It is clean, polished and chic.

2. Let's face it. Basics, like blazers, never go out of style. This year choose a lighter shade.
