Labor Day Deals!

Happy Friday! Is anyone doing some shopping over the holiday weekend? So many stores are having amazing deals right now, so it's a good time to shop! Whenever there is a big sale weekend, I find it is usually best to shop the better quality stores, such as ae, Loft, Banana Republic or GUESS (to name a few). This is because I can't always afford these clothes at regular prices, but a sale is a great way to add more quality, lasting pieces to my wardrobe.

Chambray a few different ways

Chambray = my latest obsession. Ever since I bought my chambray shirt from Forever21 earlier this summer, I have found any excuse to wear it. I even wore it as a beach cover-up. So, what is chambray? If you don't already know, chambray is a fabric that is similar to denim but more lightweight and much more comfortable.


Here are some celebs sporting chambray:

Lately, my favorite way to wear chambray has been to pair it with a summer dress. I don't know about you guys, but I wear a ton of dresses in the summer. But! a summer dress paired with a chambray shirt for cooler weather? Yes, please. 

Here is my sundress from Forever21 that I wore all summer:

             

I paired this dress with my chambray shirt from Forever21 and experimented with 3 different styles:

First, I tied my chambray shirt into a little knot at my waist:

 

                                     

Next, I added a belt that I had to knot at the waist:

         
                         (I made this one bigger so that you can see a close-up of the belt)

For the final look, I just unbuttoned the shirt and wore it loose:

My favorite way that I wore it was probably the first look, but I think all are really fun. Next time I decide to wear the shirt loose, I will probably add more jewelry to spice it up a bit.

What do you guys think? Which was your favorite way that I wore it? 

Kim Kardashian inspired look

Yesterday I experimented with a monochromatic look. Monochromatic is when you wear different shades of the same color. I think that a monochromatic look can work for anyone, but it is especially nice on us petite girls. Since the look is all in the same color scheme, it really elongates the body ;) I am only 5 feet tall, so I will take any extra height I can get!

My inspiration picture for this look is this picture of Kim Kardashian:

I don't have clothes that exactly match what Kim is wearing, but I made my own look using the same idea of wearing different shades of the same color. I have been wanting to wear my blue skinny jeans, so I decided to go with a blue monochromatic look. 

I originally wore this look with some neutral sandals, but I changed into these turquoise platform sandals from Target later in the day. I kinda love how it looks with the turquoise sandals.

Here is a similar studded racerback tank from Charlotte Russe on sale for $7.50. The tank I am wearing is actually from Charlotte Russe, so the color is probably really similar to this one. tank

Here is a necklace from Target for $34.99 that would look nice. necklace

Pop of Color

This past weekend the fiance and I went to a Latin Festival in the park. Whenever I feel stuck on what to wear, I find it is a good idea to pick one item that I can build an outfit around and then add to that. In this case, I really wanted to wear this bright orange necklace from Target (last summer). I built the rest of my look around what would go with that necklace.

I ended up changing right after the festival because it was too hot in those pants! I added my favorite cut off shorts from American Eagle (from 3 summers ago), and some wedges I bought on sale from Marshall's last summer. 

Similar to my look:

Back to school outfit

As promised, here is my back to school outfit. I only had one class today, so I kinda lucked out :P

This is another romper look. I just love rompers in the summertime. They are so fun and great for hot days. I paired this ikat romper with a mustard statement necklace and mustard wedges. These wedges are my favorite pair that I own. I have worn them to death, and I think I might cry if they ever fall apart. I actually bought them on sale at Target 3 summers ago. The mustard necklace is also Target from last summer.
