I love all ”week’s worth of outfit” articles.  Anything that provides a capsule wardrobe fascinates me.  Anything about packing for a week of travel.  I always wonder what 7 pieces would I buy if I had no clothes.
Here’s one from Seventeen (Yes, I subscribe.  And yes, I know, I’m not seventeen.)

Below are the ones I might try.  I’ll keep [...]

Ways to style a handkerchief from the latest Bazaar:

Make it a bib necklace by adding oodles of shiny objects!

Wear a beaded fringe necklace over one to add more color, texture, pop!
My only history with handkerchiefs: When I was in 8th grade, Seventeen did a spread featuring them.  Of course, to be super chic, I wore [...]

One of my absolute favorite sites to draw outfit inspiration from is Frugal Fashionistas.  They capture celebrity outfits & then suggest less expensive options to recreate the look.  I find that many times I have very similar pieces in my closet already.
This outfit was inspired by/ripped off from their latest Kate Moss post in which she [...]

This outfit illustrates how you can mix up dressy & casual separates.  Pull the sequins out during the day!  Dress up the sweatshirt with pins!  Balance it all with a tough cuff (DIY tutorial)!  Mix it up!

I found Poe’s original collar while going through some old things lately.  She was emaciated when we got her & has since double her weight so we had to buy her a new one.
Anyway, I wore it as a bracelet the other day!  I think it’s really cute & honestly was much cheaper than a [...]

Here’s another unique take on a scarf.  I draped it diagonally over my shoulder & tied it at the waist.  Different, interesting.  Enough to make your co-workers ask, “What are you wearing?”

Delman flats, Nine West jeans, Target top & scarf, thrifted necklace

The close-up.  The pendant & purple of the scarf remind me or royalty LOL.

This is a pretty simple outfit that I used to highlight a pair of shoes I DIY’d.  It’s been a long thought process to get to these as I’ll explain lower down in this post.

Initially I was inspired by the Dexter chair in the Metropolitan Homes Showtime Showhouse.  It’s funny because I had the next [...]

I FINALLY dye-ed a couple sweaters that have been on my “makeover” pile.
Unfortunately, I don’t have before pictures so I’ll just have to describe:  The hoodie is from Victoria’s Secret, was off-white & just got kind of dingy – my water does that.  It’s impossible to keep whites white & most off-whites turn dingy grey after several washes.  [...]

I saw a pair of D&G pumps in June’s issue of Bazaar with silk ribbon that wraps around the ankle & I thought, “Wow, that’s cute!  Geez, I could do that with ribbons for like $4 though.”  So I did.
All I did was buy a roll of fat black satin ribbon, cut it long enough (do [...]
