Floral Print Tee & Neon Pink Cardigan: Poshmark Is Like Crack

03.13.2015

Oh my, oh my…how easily I become obsessed. My newest obsession? Poshmark. Never heard of it? Check it out. Already a member? Then you know what I’m talkin’ about. It’s thrifting to the billionth degree. It’s Ebay for dummies. It’s the best invention in recent history. This floral print tee was one of the things I lusted over from the Prabal Gurung for Target collection, but sadly didn’t get because it sold out. It was $30 and I scored it for $6 and it’s like brand new. I have found so many crazy fabulous things while perusing Poshmark I can’t even tell you. My Posh closet is currently empty, but as soon as I have a minute to sort through things I’m going to start selling because it appears to be pretty easy to do. The buying part is easy, maybe too easy. See it, love it, buy it. Ya, because I needed immediate gratification like that. Hence, the addiction. I always knew I’d be a beast of a thrifter if only I didn’t live in the backwoods of nowhere and had a reasonably cool thrift store nearby. Now I do. In my phone. Outrageously awesome and dangerous all at the same time.

Like I said, this absolutely gorgeous floral print tee was originally from Target. What screams Spring more than crazy bright flowers? Nothing, except maybe crazy bright flowers with a neon pink cardigan and obnoxious shoes. The shoes are also from the Gurung collection. Funny thing about these shoes. Much like these boots they are a hit with boys between the ages of 11 and 14. Kind of a strange demographic don’t ya think? I almost didn’t wear a necklace, but this one caught my eye hanging on my necklace wall, and since it matched the turquoise in the flowers perfectly I threw it on. Worked out rather well I think.

Sequin Leggings, White Tunic & Chucks: Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend

03.10.2015

When I was first approached by Anjolee to review a piece of their jewelry I was hesitant, but only because I typically focus more on the clothes than the accessories. I decided to do it because hey, there are two truths in life: 1. Accessories make the outfit; and 2. Diamonds (or in this case, cubic zirconia) are a girl’s best friend. Anjolee’s primary focus is diamond anniversary rings and wedding rings, but they also carry a substantial selection of earrings, necklaces and bracelets. I decided to give the diamond stud earrings a go, and I have to tell you they are drop dead stunning. They’re a really substantial piece of jewelry; you can tell just by looking at them that they are well made. And probably most importantly, they are best friend approved. I wore them over the weekend to the birthday festivities and my bestie thought they were fabulous and that’s really all that I needed to know. Quite honestly, it would probably have never occurred to me to look into purchasing high quality jewelry online, but considering how stellar the quality of these earrings is I would definitely consider Anjolee.

Talk about including opposing elements in an outfit. How’s sequin leggings and Chuck’s for opposition? I hadn’t worn the sequin leggings to work yet, and I’d actually had a couple of requests that I do so; sometimes I have a sneaking suspicion that people like to live vicariously through my fashion choices. The last time I wore them was here for our Christmas party. Anyway, today was a sultry and balmy 40 degrees so I decided the white dolman sleeve tunic tee and Chucks would be the perfect transitional pieces with the leggings. It was kinda like wearing blinged out pajamas to work which was actually a really good thing considering I’m recovering from an overindulgence hangover.

Frog Graphic Tee & Lace Skirt: Chaos NY Collaboration & Discount Code

03.6.2015

I was approached a while back by a fabulously cool little boutique in New York called Chaos NY which I had first discovered on Instagram. They carry a cool eclectic mix of items from all over the world. Their mission is to provide colorful chic looks to women everywhere. One of the things that I love about them (aside from the one of a kind gorgeous items) is the fact that they support artists from all over the globe as well as women’s cooperatives in South Africa, India, and South America. They believe in women supporting women and I am all for that.

They offered me a choice of several items and believe me, it was hard to choose. But of course, being me, I went for a graphic tee. And not just any graphic tee…a frog graphic tee. I’ve mentioned before my love of poison dart frogs,and while this wasn’t a poison dart frog it was close enough to make me happy. I couldn’t have been more pleased when it arrived. It’s super soft and loose fitting. It will be perfect even when the temperatures warm up because it’s so lightweight.

I couldn’t wait any longer to wear it, so I had to winterize it by layering it over a chambray button down. And of course I had to pair it with items you wouldn’t expect; a lace skirt and blinged out necklace. I got tons of compliments on it at work. I mean seriously, who wouldn’t love a giant frog on a t-shirt? It will look super cute with my denim boyfriend shorts (ya, I know you all can’t wait for the return of the ever-present summer boyfriend shorts) and Converse once the temperatures reach a level that human beings are able to be outside in without losing body parts to frostbite.

Because I love and appreciate you all so much (and you know that I do), I have a discount code so generously offered by the fine ladies at Chaos NY. From now until March 23rd, enter code FAIRYDUST30 at checkout and receive 30% off. Yes, you read that right…30% off!! So, what are you waiting for? Head over there right now and pick up a unique, hand-crafted item for yourself!

Boyfriend Jeans, White Button Down & Hoodie: Here’s Your Sign

02.16.2015

It’s no secret that I live a culturally deprived life in that the nearest Target is about 35 minutes from my house. I do however live halfway between two Walmarts; the nexus between the two if you will. The store that I frequent is the one most of my friends go to although it certainly isn’t lacking in the pajama wearing no bra contingent. It’s the “Super” Walmart. On the other hand, the other store is the stereotypical backwoods Walmart. The majority of individuals are wearing some form of pajamas in addition to truly momentous mullets and less than the regular number of teeth allotted by nature. Perhaps I’m being a bit pretentious, but hey, it is what it is. What I speak is the truth, and it is based on first-person observation. No judgement here because truth be told these are the type of people I come from…ahh…but that’s a story for another day.

In any case, I had to stop by the backwoods Walmart the other day. There’s a sign on the door (professionally made with the little black shadow people, like on street signs and restroom doors) reminding the reader to stop and make sure that they did not leave their children in the car since, you know, that might be dangerous or something. I jest you not. That is a real sign. Are. You. Kidding. Me??? If you need a sign to remind you not to forget your children in the car then maybe, just maybe, child rearing is not your forte. Perhaps owning a pet isn’t a stellar idea either. If you want something to raise, maybe pick up a Chia Pet while you’re in Walmart. Or a cactus; they require even less attention.

This is one my favorite bipolar chic outfits. The white button down, burgundy pumps and statement necklace scream dressy; the boyfriend jeans and hoodie say eh…I’m kickin’ back today. A white button down works with pretty much anything and in any environment. If there is one piece of clothing everyone should own, this may well be it. You can dress it way up or way down, I’ve even seen white button downs worn as bathing suit cover-ups. As for the boyfriend jeans, well they are my number one favorite style of jeans. They’re loose and low-slung and don’t make me feel like an uncomfortable cow after I may or may not have devoured an entire package of Limited Edition Red Velvet Oreos. There’s not a pair of skinny jeans in existence that can handle that kind of crazy.
