Well, New England has been hit by quite a bit of snow over the last few days but that didn’t stop me from shooting my Valentine’s Day Date Night look. (If you’re still looking for ideas, check out last week’s post on special date ideas!) I don’t know about you, but I think this pink metallic dress just pops against the pretty white snow!

When I saw this gorgeous dress I knew I had to try it. Using the measurements on the website as a guide, I ordered 2 sizes up and I wish I would have sized up only one size. It definitely fits but I would prefer a tighter fit around the waist since the dress is more of an empire waist on me and a tighter fit would make it feel less baggy. To solve that problem I added a button-up blazer to give myself more of a waist (plus, long sleeves are nice while we have snow on the ground!).

In the end, I love how this rose metallic dress looks, especially paired with my pretty bow heels and new Sugarfix by Baublebar Pink Statement earrings! If you follow me on Instagram you know that last week’s trip to Target resulted in my discovery that my favorite affordable jewelry company is now partnering with Target to make even more affordable jewelry! Most earrings are under $15 and they’re a much more suitable size for my ears anyway! Score! I’ve linked some of my favorite Sugarfix by Baublebar finds below! Definately make sure to stop by your local Target to get a glimpse of the collection!

Hi Friends! I hope your week is off to a great start! I am so glad to have a 3 day weekend. This time in January seems to always be challenging with students. I’m not kidding…my Facebook memory today was three different posts in three different years about how my students were crazy on the exact same day! So, it makes me happy to sit down and just talk to you a little bit about fashion!

I picked up this navy hat back in November from Target and absolutely love it. I’ve been waiting to feature it on my blog because I just hadn’t found the right accessory to pair with it. But then, I was given this great navy plaid scarf for Christmas and I knew I’d found the perfect match!

Target always has a great selection of hats that are good quality and very fashionable. On a teacher’s salary (especially a SUBSTITUTE teacher’s salary) I just can’t afford these beautiful Rag and Bone or Janessa Leone hats. But then here comes Target to the rescue with affordable, fashionable pieces that make accessorizing fun and affordable! I love the metal detail on this felt fedora and unlike some other affordable brands, it holds its shape! I’ve put together a selection of my favorite Target hats for you in the Widget below (so make sure to view this in your computer browser) but most of the time I will find more options in store than are available on the website so next time you’re in Target, swing by the hat section! You won’t be disappointed!

Holiday Outfit Pinspiration

by Leave a Comment

Good morning! Today I have a little Holiday Outfit Pinspiration for you all! When I first got into fashion, I used Pinterest as a place  to find and collect ideas for how to wear some of my favorite items in my closet. It inspired me to try polka dots with plaid and sparkle tank tops over button down shirts. It’s a great place to go to get ideas.

During the holiday season I find myself on Pinterest a lot, gathering ideas for decorations, DIY Gifts, and recipes for holiday meals. So, lately I have found myself going back to my Winter Fashion board and checking out the ideas I’ve collected from the past. Today I want to share a few of those Holiday Outfit ideas with you and how I recreated them using what I have. I don’t claim to have come up with any of these ideas on my own, and I will link the original if I can find it. But maybe it will inspire you to go on Pinterest and get a little Pinspiration for yourself!

Pinspiration Holiday Outfit Look #1

Holiday Look Red Puffer vest Plaid

(Pinterest, Dead link)

Recreate this Look!

I wish my recreation had more white in it, but when recreating Pinterest looks it’s good to work with what you have! I still like the effect and I never would have thought of putting them together on my own!
Plaid Shirt, JCPenney (old). Various options in widget below.
Red Puffer Vest, JCPenney. Goes on sale frequently!

 

Pinspiration Holiday Outfit Look #2

Holiday Polka Dot Top and Herringbone Puffer Vest

For this look, I had almost identical items already in my closet. The only thing I didn’t have was a cherry red sweater. So, never fear! You can do this look if you have a red long sleeve shirt! I thought it would be really lumpy over the top of the polka dot top, but it wasn’t bad! Since I had a crew neck top instead of a V-neck top, I created a V at the top with a v-shaped statement necklace.

Recreate this Look!

Polka Dot Tunic, Shein.com. Most similar polka dot top. Another in widget below.
Red Long Sleeve T-shirt, Old Navy. Red Long Sleeve Crew Neck Shirt from Target.
Herringbone Puffer Vest, Jane.com. Inspired by J.Crew Herringbone Print Vest (on sale!). Similar but Shorter Herringbone Puffer Vest.
Statement Necklace, Shinymix.com. Similar Statement Necklace (also this one).

 

Ok, that’s all for today! Make sure to check out my Winter Fashion pinterest board for more inspiration!
