It’s that time of the year. We are all getting tired of our winter clothes and longing for spring. I snagged this adorable velvet jumper on the Gap clearance rack just after Christmas. The material feels like winter, but I couldn’t figure out how to style it. Black or navy tights felt strange, too dark somehow. I was ready for bare legs, but the weather wasn’t cooperating. I never dreamed nude legs in the winter with sheer pantyhose would be…
Street Style Fashion
February 1, 2016I’ve always been fascinated by street style fashion while simultaneously finding it difficult to put my finger on what exactly it is that gives an outfit that elusive street style feel. I often think it’s unexpected pieces paired together: dressy pumps and distressed denim, a fancy bag with an everyday look, sneakers where heels might make more sense. Oh, and the street. That’s a given. Whatever the combination, the outcome is always modern and fresh. Today I attempted a street…
Charles & Keith
January 29, 2016I’m excited to be partnering with Charles & Keith, an innovative brand founded by two siblings to create modern footwear for women, for the next couple posts. They also have some amazing accessories. You may have seen my Instagram last weekend, but I am pretty much obsessed with everything they sent (with easy shipping to the US). Today I am styling these amazing black boots. I love the low heel height. It is perfect for on-the-go weekends, and they definitely have…
Mom Jeans
January 25, 2016I’ve been loving all the denim trends lately. From flares to cropped flares, culottes, and mom jeans, I am on board. It’s fun to be able to mix things up with fashion’s most iconic item. I’d been on the hunt for the right mom jean: not too loose, high waisted and light colored, real denim. I happened upon Old Navy’s high-rise vintage straight crop jean in store. I sized down from my normal and just didn’t roll them as you…
Workwear Outfit
January 22, 2016Hello and happy Friday! I am officially back from Disney World and trying to get back to reality. Man was that a fun trip. I loved spending time with my mom, sister, and niece. Did you follow along on Instagram or snapchat (straightastyle)? It’s not the restful kind of vacation, but it’s the kind of stuff in life you want to be tired from doing. The stuff memories are made of. You guys, these are the perfect work pants! They are…
Green and Tan
January 20, 2016Green and tan is one of my favorite color combinations. I put this pretty olive green blouse on my Christmas list, and my mother-in-law was nice enough to snag it for me. I couldn’t wait to wear it. The draping and material are just so nice. I added this cute tie wrap coat. It’s almost a fleece like material, and I totally feel like I am getting away with wearing a robe in public. PSA: these fringe boots I have…
Winter White
January 13, 2016In the winter, I hate resigning myself to pants everyday, so I am always looking for creative ways to wear other things. You guys know I love anything midi or maxi length. I often add OTK boots to midi length things for warmth or tights to skirts and dresses. It lets me wear more of my wardrobe all year long. When I saw this longer sleeved white maxi, I knew it would be a beautiful piece for so many seasons. Plus, winter…
Sweater with the Fur
January 11, 2016Sweater with the fur. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. Fur is so in right now and having this piece in my wardrobe is like ready-made style. I love the sleeves and tie detail on the back. It pairs well with anything, but I styled it with my cropped flare jeans and a simple white tee. It’s from Goodnight Macaroon, and I shared a snap during my flash sale post. It’s not on sale right now, but be sure to watch…
Uptown Cheapskate in Tulsa
January 7, 2016I am excited to share my second look with Uptown Cheapskate in Tulsa, a modern resale shop, today. Did you catch yesterday’s post? I bought five items for only $75 and have created two looks. Today my denim bow blouse (from Asos, similar) and coated jeans (similar) are both from Uptown. I added this fun vest to tie it all together. I had been wanting the Anthropologie vest for ages, but it was sold out in this color. I love…
Uptown Cheapskate in Tulsa
January 6, 2016I’m thrilled to have an Uptown Cheapskate in Tulsa! Open as of December, this resale concept store is modern and stylish. As a fashion lover on a budget, I often take the clothes I no longer wear into a resale shop as well as shop around for new things. It accomplishes several things: my closet never gets too full, I can make a little money, and I can shop for great deals. Recycling clothes is a great way to practice conscious consumerism.…
