Affordable fashion & realistic life tips for the young, growing woman.

I don’t think I’ve ever followed the “no white after Labor Day” rule, but as I was brainstorming this post, I figured I’d actually look up why it was supposedly a rule to begin with. In short, it was another way to differentiate …

I purchased this dress from NastyGal and thought it would be the perfect vacation dress. To coordinate, I bought Deion this two-tone denim shirt from ASOS. I recommended he put the white tank top underneath, but other than that, the pants and shoes were really his doing. I believe …

Y’all know what’s funny?

I went thrift shopping early last month to avoid procrastinating like I did last month, and I still didn’t have this post live on time. But last month I did. That may be a sign that I need to shop the Thursday before the …

Picture this … you plan on taking a day trip to a new city. You’re packing as minimally as possible, so you wear an outfit that you can easily dress up, just in case you find yourself in a fancy location. The most you’d need to bring is a pair of heels to change into, a …

What I love the most about floral print is how versatile it is. You get so many different colors in the print to potentially bring out a little more, whether it’s your shoe color, jacket, jewelry, or even makeup. That. …

I am, in fact, still in love with puff sleeves. It has been a thing for me for at least the last two years.

I live for the drama.

The pizazz.

All of the razzle dazzle.

This jumpsuit is doing it for me. Almost as easy as putting on a dress but just barely missing the mark. It’s the one you put on when the event is all about you, because it’s definitely going to turn …

I feel your disappointment of not seeing a bunch of pink on your screen right now. It was a fun four days, I know, I just had to break it up a little bit. I blame it on these leather trousers from BOA that fit me so damn well that I didn’t have a choice but to put an outfit together with …

It’s giving trophy wife.

Queen of the household.

An ex-corporate girlie that spends her days working on her passion.

A week before Christmas, I was laid off from a role that I had only been in for 6 weeks, and while it can be seen as unfortunate …

Dresses are the laziest, most efficient thing you can wear and still look like a dime. Don’t let it be summertime - I’ll throw one on with a pair of sandals in a heartbeat. This is why I side eye anyone that says they’re excited for Fall because of the fashion. You’re telling me …

Day 2. Welcome back, y’all!

What makes me the most excited about this look is how I had to make a last minute change to save it, and I just wonder, why it wasn’t a part of my original plan to begin with. Being as interested in fashion that I am, it’s not super often that I envision …

First and foremost, Happy Black History Month!

Second, and still very much important, happy first day of my new mini series - 7 days of Valentine’s Day looks.

I wish I could fully express how excited I am for the upcoming week, because the looks I’ve been cooking up in the kitchen, formally known as my closet, aren’t even the slightest bit short of …

I love having a reason to go to Goodwill. It doesn’t even have to be a good one. Even if I leave with $100 less than I went in with, I know I got my money’s worth. This month, I only went to the Goodwill in Spartanburg and found nine great pieces to add to my closet …

There are two things, and two things only, that I enjoy about Winter and that’s Christmas and the fact that it MIGHT be cold enough to wear a turtleneck. I hate the cold, so that may be a little contradicting, but turtlenecks are honestly one of my …

Have you ever had a blanket and wondered how great it would be if it had an individual sleeve for each of you limbs?

You haven’t? Me either. But this set is exactly how a blanket turned into a sweater and pants would feel like. I’m naturally cold natured, so paired with some fuzzy socks, this is exactly what I needed to wear around my house where the thermostat is already set on 74 degrees. I’m not thinking …

Dressing for the workplace isn’t as hard as you think it may be. Honestly, the more strict the dress code is, the easier it’ll be for you because you’re being told exactly what you have to wear. For example, you start a new job and the expectations are that you’re dressed in business professional attire. Super easy. Just …

Leather is very much a cold weather fabric, but obviously shorts are for the months where showing some skin is more than necessary. Mix the two together and you truly have a pair of shorts that are perfect to wear year round (for the most part). Maybe …

On one hand you have your introverts and homebodies, and on the other you have your extroverts and everywhere-but-home-bodies. Then, in that area where the top half of your pinky fingers touch but not the bottom half, you have your mostly introverted individuals who if you invite …

Back when I was in middle and high school, midi skirts were NOT a thing. I mean, technically they were, but in my head there were two skirt lengths and those two lengths only; mid-thigh or “finger tip” length and to the floor. Anywhere in between would not have came home from the store with me. I really can’t say for sure what …

Let’s be real guys, it’s 2020. More than ever we’re seeing the prevalence of androgynous fashion and a big middle finger up to what society considers gender specific clothing. Whether you agree with it or not is totally to your discretion, but …

As I was organizing my closet a few weeks ago, I realized that I own a shit ton of dresses in which half of them I’d completely forgotten about. I’d say in part it was due to the fact that Spring dresses and Winter temperatures aren’t the best combination, so I couldn’t wear most of them from October until …
