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 [...]

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

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 [...]
