Shein Fall Favorites for Work

October 22, 2018 by Virginia 35 Comments

You guys, I’m going to admit – I’m a little obsessed right now with ordering a ton of things from Shein and trying them on. Luckily this little obsession has resulted in a ton of new Shein fall favorites for work. It’s is so affordable. Plus, I am getting better at picking my correct size from the beginning (more on that here) and they are getting better at shipping items quickly. It’s increasingly easy for me to place a large order from Shein and have confidence that the money won’t be wasted.

Two of the items in this outfit are from my most recent Shein haul and man…almost everything in this haul was a WINNER! I couldn’t wait to try them and wore them to work the next day.

Shein Fall Favorites from Haul #1

You can see my try-on session from my first recent Shein Haul on Instastories HERE. I like being able to know more about the quality of the fabric and how and item fits, so that’s why I did the Instastories.

These items will be featured on the blog soon, but for now:

Again, for fit and sizing info see the Instastories reviews HERE.

Shein Fall Favorites from Haul #2

As I said above, I couldn’t wait to wear this great orange coat and bow top. I loved the outfit I created so much that I cornered husband when he came home and asked him to shoot some pics of the outfit really quickly!

Let me know if you’re interested in seeing them tried on and I will do another Instastories!

Some tips when ordering from Shein:

You can see my full post on tips for ordering online in THIS POST. I include a section specifically on Shein, but for now:

Check the measurements and read the reviews – This will help you order the correct size. Rarely do I actually order the size I typically wear in US clothing.
Expect that not everything will be perfect. Usually with a large order I send at least one item, maybe two, back. Of course, I’m fine with this because I got the fun of trying it out and then I can send it back and try something else without having to spend more money! Shein has free returns (and they’re easy). So, as long as you’ll remember to send it back, there’s really no risk in ordering.

Accessories that Pop: Turquoise and Pink

September 24, 2018 by Virginia 12 Comments

I’m just going to come right out and say it; lately, the fashion scene hasn’t been all about accessories that pop. It’s all about monochrome and minimalism, pale and muted colors…but you know what? Sometimes I don’t care if I’m featuring the current trends. I look better in vibrant colors! Accessories that pop make me happy! And so, today I tell you – be you, even if it isn’t en vogue.

Fashion is about self-expression and, for me, that means pulling out the stops and rockin’ the bright pink tassel earrings and turquoise statement necklaces. Full disclosure; most of the items in this post are old. They were things I bought years ago that I still love and wear all the time. I haven’t featured them as much lately on the blog because I don’t like sharing items that aren’t in stock. Plus, I like to try to stay on top of current fashion trends.

Today I’m sharing these bright accessories because I love them, still wear them and get complimented on them all the time! Sometimes you’ve just gotta be you, even if it isn’t in style now. I have rounded up similar items because I know there are more of us out there who love accessories that pop and who rue the day dainty necklaces replaced statement ones.

Turquoise Accessories that Pop

I just love the look of turquoise against a black and white outfit. This dress is one of my current favorites because the black and white stripes are perfect for accessorizing. These fun pumps are from our wedding five years ago and I still get compliments every time I wear them. I’m obsessed with Betsey Johnson heels. In my younger days I would totally have bought these but now I stick to mid-heels. There aren’t a ton of similar options out there but these (almost out-of-stock) are the closest I’ve seen in years!

The turquoise statement necklace in this post is part of the Sugarfix by Baublebar line at Target. It’s a great way to get BaubleBar-style statement jewelry for less. Lately they have been featuring more muted tones so I turned to Amazon to find some options for you. You can see them in the widget below.

This turquoise cocktail ring from Kendra Scott is another favorite I can’t seem to get rid off. It’s a fun way to tie in an accent color to the rest of an outfit too.

BaubleBar Favorites from the Past

BaubleBar is my favorite place to shop for statement jewelry and has been for years. Hopefully, you saw my alert on Facebook last week (if not, make sure to follow me here) about their Friends and Family Sale. It’s a great way to snag quality jewelry at a more affordable price. The pink tassel earrings featured in this post, along with the still-popular-in-my-eyes Mason Ring, were both from BaubleBar. Luckily, their popularity led to a lot of copy-cat items. I’ve linked some of the tassel earrings for you below. You can find some similar pave rings HERE and HERE.

Favorite Bracelets to go with Pops of Color

A few years ago I fell in love with the David Yurman Cable Bracelets featured by Emily Gemma. They’re out of my budget so I started looking for other alternatives. It took awhile, but finally retailers started making similar cable-style cuff bracelets. They go with everything.

Cable Bracelets from Amazon:
