Work and Play: A Day to Night look

Day

Night

What I Wore: [Dress: Lucky Brand, Chambray Top: Gap - similar, Flats: Lucky Brand, Wedges: White Mountain (old), Earrings: Forever 21 (old), Bag: H&M (old)]

When I picked up this dress up a few weeks ago to wear to a family event I had no idea it was going to be such a versatile piece in my wardrobe - to be honest I thought it was going to be one of those "buy it for a specific occasion and then leave it at home while I am away at school" pieces. But now, after wearing it a few times and seeing the many ways it can be worn, that will definitely not be happening come September. The dress itself is ridiculously comfortable and easy to wear so pairing it with some of my favorite basics to create different looks didn't require much thought (but then again, what doesn't look better with a chambray shirt over it?). 

I wore the top look to work earlier this week - it's perfect for the warm weather, makes sitting at a desk all day comfortable, and it is still put together and modest enough for my work environment (this is going to be won a ton this fall once I go back to school, perfect for a long day of classes). By taking off my button up, throwing up my hair, and putting on some wedges, lipstick, and fun earrings I was quickly ready for an evening out after work. Unfortunately, I didn't actually end up wearing the evening look anywhere that night as my evening plans included 3.5 hours of rehearsal for the musical I am in which required a leotard and jazz shoes instead of a cute dress and heels. Alas, this outfit will have to be saved for a future occasion! 

Hope you all are having a wonderful Tuesday, or whatever day it is that you are reading this, thanks for stopping by!

OOTD: Orange Is The New Black

What I Wore: [Dress: Gap Outlet, Shirt: H&M, Earrings: Betsey Johnson, Shoes: DSW]

Orange is quickly becoming my new favorite color to wear, it seems as though almost half of my new back to school wardrobe is some shade of it! I’ve had this little mod-inspired dress for a while now but with my new fondness for it’s vibrant hue I’ve been trying to find new ways to wear it more often. My favorite combinations have been wearing any kind of button up blouse underneath or pairing it with some kind of nautical striped top or cardigan and I’m sure I will be working both of those looks into my daily school outfits this fall!

Until next time,

Gingham Girl

What I Wore: [Top: Target, Cardigan: H&M, Necklace: Target, Skirt: Urban Outfitters, Shoes: White Mountain, Lipstick: MAC “Brick-O-La”]

The summer weather in Minnesota isn’t quite warm enough to break out my sundresses and shorts yet but I’ve been loving that I am able to wear open toed shoes and skirts, (even if I have to pair them with a sweater and long sleeved shirt)! These wedges are my warm weather staple shoe and I was happy to rediscover this yellow skirt when I came home from school a few weeks ago, together they make a fantastically comfortable pair that I can see myself wearing all summer.

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!

OOTD: Boyfriend Jeans + Stripes

What I Wore: [Top: Forever 21, Sweater: Banana Republic, Jeans: LC Lauren Conrad, Shoes: White Mountain]

Today’s outfit was incredibly simplistic and comfortable, yet I feel like it was more stylish than most lazy day outfits. I’ve been trying to breakaway from my habit of only wearing dark-wash skinny jeans and have always liked the look over boyfriend jeans with wedges or heels, so here we are. Although I will still always prefer a skirt or dress any day of the week, sometimes a girl just has to wear pants and this pair is remarkably comfortable. 

Until next time,

-Eva
