I found myself looking at jobs below the Mason Dixon Line lately because my body is just over the cold weather. I ran out for a few errands a few weeks ago and it took a lot of effort not to throw on leggings, Uggs and a sweatshirt. To compromise, I threw on a sweater, leggings and boots (ha!). I had an early hair appointment and the only reason I get out of bed early on a Saturday morning is for someone else to wash my hair and the fact that there is a Starbucks next door!

Fun Flares
In college I played it safe and looked like everyone else. I dressed like everyone else, had long hair like all of the other girls and tried to blend in. I hated high school because of the feeling of never fitting in and in college I did everything to look like everyone else. Since graduating, I have found that my style has evolved and I like to take risks when it comes to fashion and style. In October 2015, I chopped off 13+ inches of hair to donate to Locks of Love. Then in November I went in for a trim and went for a shorter style. The last year I have been playing with a short stacked bob and now a lob. I feel the excitement of having short hair quickly fading. My hair is so long now compared to how it usually is. A coworker pointed out that my hair was not this long the previous week! It grows so fast, which is awesome when I want to play with it doing different lengths. Continue reading “Fun Flares”
pom poms for winter
There are things I want and things I need in life. One of the struggles of being an adult, is having to choose paying my car payment over something I want to add to my closet. This winter, pom pom hats were everywhere. Everyday at work I wanted to buy one, but I just could not justify spending money on a winter hat I would wear only a few times a year. However, after Christmas, we got a lot of returns and all of the winter collection was going to major clearance. While at work one night, I found the black pom pom hat I realllyyy wanted on sale for $9 in the clearance bin. Guys, I was really excited about this hat and the price was too good to be true!
J. Crew Factory has the pom pom hat in a variety of colors, but if you wear makeup daily or want a hat that goes with everything, I suggest getting the black one.
Right now the hats are on major clearance at J. Crew Factory. I cannot guarantee that they are still in stores, but I checked and they are still available online!
Some of the other colors include…
Christmas pajamas perfect for a lazy Sunday morning
I am obsessed with pajamas! I have drawers filled with them! I get a little carried away during Christmas with my pajamas, but you can never have too many!! This year I purged a few older pajamas to make room for new ones. Check the details below to see my favorite pajamas!

closet inVESTments
If you are looking to buy a statement piece this winter that will last for seasons to come, I have found it! Right now vests are taking over my closet. I have them in so many colors from black, brown, white and even fake fur! I love the way they make an outfit look, it’s warm but without the bulk! When I have to run errands I hate to wear a big puffy coat because then I start sweating in my big coat, so I always throw on a vest when I do a Target or Wegmans run.

Right now I am working at J.Crew part time to make extra money to hopefully move out of my parents house in the next few months. Getting my own place is a really big financial responsibility, and I know that I like to spend money. I am taking steps to grow my savings so when the time comes I can live the type of lifestyle that I want to. However, everyday I come home wanting to buy something or caving in and buying something at the store. My most recent purchase was two vests I have had my eyes on for a while.
These vests have become my new favorite pieces in my closet. The herringbone vest is a J. Crew staple and right now at J. Crew Factory it is sooo cheap it’s silly not to get it.
I normally would not buy a hot pink vest, but it was on clearance, and with my employee discount it was $20. I decided to wear it to work, but I wanted to dress it up a bit. I wore it with a J. Crew peplum top, black jeans, and black suede boots. I didn’t want to add too many accessories, but for work I need to wear a necklace for the store uniform, so I wore a hot pink necklace and my Kate Spade pink bracelet to keep the pink theme going.
You can’t go wrong with a classic black vest! I have an old one from Gap that I still wear every season, but the J. Crew Factory black vest with the gold detail has me wanting to donate mine and get a new one! I have vests in every single color and wear them regularly at work and running around doing errands. With a vest and a simple t shirt, an outfit can be casual or chic with some accessories and boots.
PS: I realllllly like Starbucks lately if you can’t already tell! 🙈cozy fall sweater
After almost a week of bed rest after surgery, I was excited to get back to work! You would think that laying in bed watching Netflix all day would be fun, but after day 3 I was kind of bored. The weather over night turned to fall. We had some rare warm days leading up to November, but now I can finally start wearing my sweaters to work.
For my first day back at work I wanted to wear something comfortable. I worked a shift at J. Crew and had multiple people buy my outfit because they liked it so much. I love that not much thought has to go into a look like this, but with the right accessories it looks chic and work appropriate.
