Easing into Fall with...Versona

I am teaming up with Versona to highlight their Fall Look Book and to show you what I selected from my local Versona store to ease into the fall season!

After searching the store and having to make some really hard decisions, I finally when with this very soft and super cute striped tunic top.

Versona also sent me those beautifully earrings that I plan on styling up soon! I have a fun little idea for how to showcase them so I'll be back with that post!

Stripes or tunics may not be your thing so I snapped a couple of quick photos of items that caught my eye while I was browsing at my local Versona store.

This little number caught my eye because I love the color and the texture. It is a soft velvet and reminds me of something Courtney Love would've rocked in the 90s with a flannel shirt.

Now, this is THAT fall skirt that you can pair with tons of sweaters for the fall. I mean, come on. It screams FALL. It has a cute little 60s vibe too.

I'm always looking for items with a little bit of an edge to them. I really like these skinny jeans with the cool zipper detail. And that cropped sweater right next to it is perfect. Walk in, grab these two things, and walk out with a sweet little outfit. Just don't forget to pay for them :)

I think this is a pretty sexy outfit. Would look great for a business casual office party. I'm a sucker for a high waisted pant since I'm a shorty. Pair these with a platform high heel and your legs will look a mile long!

Jewels, laces, and more textures.

Bodysuits! I was so glad to see some affordable body suits in the store. I love these things and I wish they would have never went away. I had at least 3 of them back in high school. I loved never having to fight over getting a shirt to stay tucked into a skirt or pants.

OK! A few more snaps of the top that I went home with!

It has a hood and cute camel colored elbow pads. You know me - I love a great basic and I love attention to detail. The hood and the patches had me sold! I can dress it up or I can keep it casual.

Burgundy or maroon - whatever you want to call it - is still a hot color for fall. I added a pop of color with my earrings and lipstick. But I am feeling the urge to add some burgundy pieces in to my fall wardrobe!

Outfit details:

Top: c/o Versona

Pants: Kohls

Booties: Madden Girl

Put a Bow on it Girl

A little unexpected accessory is a perfect way to take a simple outfit to a new level! I have worn this bowtie without a collar and with a collar, like you see here. I originally got the idea from the adorable Drew Barrymore when I saw her wear one in a movie one time. I love to pull this little guy out whenever I need to make an ordinary outfit a little more special. 

Outfit details:
Sweater: h&m
Chambray Button Up Shirt: Target (it's nice and long! great for leggings!)
Faux Leather Leggings: h&m
Oxfords: Forever21

It's Finally Sweater Weather Girl

Outfit details:

Sweater: Target

Faux Leather Leggings: Kohls

Boots: Seychelles

Bag: Versona

Well whaddayaknow it was finally chilly enough to wear a sweater today! I have had my eye on this sweater at Target for a while and my hubby saw it on my wish list and got it for me for Christmas. Win! Hey! Wish lists are awesome at getting what you want! 

However, I don't know if I would recommend it because it is shedding like crazy! Lots of white hairs everywhere! I never got to really see it in person. I had only ran across it online. I'm thinking I will try to wash it to see if it helps? We'll see. I have a feeling this may be one of those sweaters that pills really easily and leaves all those little yarn balls all over. Ahhh!!! That is really the only con. The pros are that it is very warm and I love the design. It is also nice and long so you can wear it with leggings.

Here's another present that I'm super excited about! A fitbit Surge! I'm so excited to start using it! I'm always having to use my phone to guesstimate how many calories I've burned during workouts or how far I have walked - which doesn't help at all when it's the treadmill. Plus I'm really curious about the sleep tracking too. Yay! Do you have one? Do you love it or did the new wear off?

Happy 2016!

Oversized Cardigan Girl

Long time no see! I have been easily distracted this past week with little projects, catching up with friends and just the general getting back into the swing of things after the holidays. I've been trying to look presentable everyday instead of seeing how far I can get with wearing the same yoga pants every day. Oh yeah. I've done that. I've also been watching Golden Globe winning or Oscar nominated movies so I can be the couch critic that I am. I love movies. Like l-o-v-e movies. Movies like Boyhood that just blow your mind (12 years!) or ones like Birdman that were filmed in one long continuous shot. I know I would've loved to work in theatre, film or somewhere in between. It really is a passion. But I doubt I would've ever had enough nerve. Fear of being judged for my work. I would've relied too much on other people's criticism and would've psyched myself out. Sometimes while I am drifting through my life I feel as though I am behind the camera filming some ordinary documentary about an ordinary girl drifting through life. Make sense? If it does, then you and I have lots in common I bet.

What does this have to do with an oversized cardigan? Absolutely nothing. I won this men's cardigan in a game of Dirty Christmas. I love it. I love the bright cobalt and the long length. I paired it with an edgier pant because...I'm trying to wear the things I love. After this winter passes I will also be passing on clothes that I didn't wear a whole lot this season. I mean, I reach for the faux leather leggings all the time. That isn't wrong. And that doesn't mean I need to have 3 other pairs that are similar so I can rotate. Nope. I just need to wear these. Because you know what? When I'm wearing my second choice, I just think about how well my first choice would've worked. Yet again...leading me back to the capsule wardrobe idea.

Coffee Shop Mornings Girl

Sweater: Thrifted Coldwater Creek; Pants: Kohl's, Boots: Dolce Vita, Bag: Ebay (shop the look below!)

My hubby and I love spending Saturday mornings at one of the local coffee shops sipping on lattes and listening to our favorite tunes. We both get so much done when we go. The atmosphere makes me so productive for some reason. We get to splurge on coffee shop mornings maybe twice a month so when we do get to go it's pretty special. So special that I put on my faux leather pants no doubt! What?!? For some reason I have this way of hoarding my "good" clothes and keeping them for only nights that we go out on dates. Since extravagant date nights are such a rare treat now that I am a stay at home mom and we're on one income, I'm going to have to start wearing the special outfits even when we just go grab coffee. I'm also very curious and slightly obsessed with the capsule wardrobe idea going around. I may try to commit to one. Or maybe not. What I like about a minimal wardrobe is that everything hanging in your closet is #1) Something you LOVE and #2) Something that fits exceptionally well. Makes getting ready every morning so much easier! I'll let you know if I take the plunge and eliminate half my wardrobe. Eeek!
