This wonderfully warm and puffy dress is a rental from Le Tote, the Netflix of clothes! I don't remember how I ever lived without this glorious service before. You can safely try out styles that you wouldn't normally be bold enough to buy. You might just find a new style that suits you! Le Tote is $50/mo for unlimited rentals and no contract,...
I'm stepping out of my comfort zone today thanks to clothes rental subscription Le Tote and makeup sample subscription Glossybox! I wouldn't normally go for a boxy-shaped python print, but why not try fun things when you can try whatever clothes you want with no commitment? I asked E, "Don't I look like a person transformed beyond my usual style by the power...
This was the dress I chose for the swanky Taste of Western event in Oklahoma City. I loooooooove to dress up, but sadly I don't get a chance to go to many fancy events here in Norman. So if ever one comes along, you can be certain I'll seize it to theeee max! I've never worn a long dress to an evening event...
I can help direct traffic today because my sweater is SO FLUORESCENT! It's a bit blinding, for real. I love the slouchy, comfy style matched with my super-versatile leather look leggings. Can you believe I got them years ago on eBay for $12? They haven't failed me yet and I wear them constantly. I bought this lovely Tory Burch satchel recently by my...
When you live in an area of the country where fashion is not on most peoples' priority list, you can get some funny looks when you dress nicely. People will ask "Why are you all dressed up?" "Who are you trying to impress?" "How can you even walk in those shoes? It's not worth it." They may make judgmental statements like "She is...
Yes, you read that right. This is not a post about buying knockoffs, borrowing, stealing, being a consumerist hoarding fiend, or being irresponsible with money in the name of fashion. This is a post about being clever with a little bit of money, keeping track of it, and watching it grow in designated ways. It's not hard to do either; it just requires...
I love dresses that have at least some type of structure. It's an easy way to look crisp & neat at any angle without worrying about weird wrinkles making you look fat or creepily-shaped. I'm also a fiend for floral, a sucker for light pink / baroque-style, and enamored with flare dresses... so all that = Julie walking out the shop with this...
I realized I haven't done a "strong" style in quite awhile, so here's one for today! I was inspired by this photo below of my fave Janelle Monae wearing all white and black suspenders. Isn't she crisp? Leopard is getting his face squeeshed! I also made a poufy top-hair just like Janelle! ;) Well... not as magnificent of course. This is the full...
Back to Gary Barlow song lyrics again. I'm not sure if there's anything nicer than driving with your windows down on a pleasant day singing with "Sing" with all your heart! That choir lifts the spirits in such a dramatic way. Today's fash is a casual office look. I contrasted this very busy top with the plain black shorts and pastel bag, shoes,...
I'm back from a vacation to Las Vegas! It's always nice to have a time to relax, shop till you drop, spend time with relatives, and enjoy the beauty of the desert landscape. These photos were taken at The Flamingo Hotel. I thought the setting matched my floral dress perfectly! I don't usually go for these type of flowy maxis, but since the...
Today is a quiet, rainy Sunday. I've been seeing so many cute maxi looks lately so I'm giving this dress another try, even though it's not my usual style. I'm in love with this Coach Gathered satchel that I got recently. Since it's so marvelously textured, I kept my dress and tank top simple. This sweet little "J" necklace belongs to my mother....
