9 Fall Outfit Ideas With White Jeans

I have never been a believer in the silly fashion rule that white can’t be worn after Labor Day.  Why not?  I believe that white is a year-round color, especially when it comes to a good pair of white jeans.  I’ve styled white jeans in a couple previous posts (HERE and HERE), but I wanted to do an updated post of how I’m wearing my white jeans this fall.

6 Ways to Style a Leopard T-shirt

6 ways to style a leopard t-shirt #leopard #leopardtshirt
To me, nothing says fall like a little leopard in my outfit.  I love adding a pop of leopard here and there.  Lately, I’ve been moving beyond my leopard accessories and trying out more leopard clothing pieces.  I recently got this leopard long sleeve crew neck t-shirt from Amazon.  I always get worried about having too much leopard in my outfit, but I find this shirt to not be as overwhelming with the print as it seems.  By adding in different layering pieces you can break down the print if it’s too much.  I like that it’s not too heavy, so it’s great to wear in early fall, then as it gets colder it will be nice to layer under my cardigans.Read more

3 Ways to Style Leopard Paper Bag Shorts

3 ways to style leopard paper bag shorts
I have a friend who is always giving me great content for my blog.  She often will text me when she needs help picking out an outfit for something, whether it be for church or vacation.  Recently, she texted me to ask what you would wear out for dinner with a friend as an adult.  Haha, we are not used to going out with friends, so sometimes you just get stumped.  I thought about it, and I feel that a pair of paper bag shorts are perfect for a summer dinner date out with a friend.  You can dress them down or dress them up.  These types of shorts are my favorite shorts for summer by far!Read more

4 ways to style one dress- from summer to fall
 I’m so happy that it’s March and spring is near, but here in the midwest it still feels like winter.  I don’t expect spring weather to get here any time soon.  That’s why I thought I’d do a blog post today on stying a new dress in my wardrobe for both winter and spring.

Easy date night outfits wearing snakeskin booties
Winter has always been a hard season for me to dress for.  It’s long, cold and I always find myself getting into a rut with my outfits.  I don’t mind repeating my clothes, but when I continue to wear the same clothes over and over again, I get bored.
