army jacket + stripes. 9.29.2012

 

Jacket & dress: Forever 21 (love this jacket at Urban Outfitters). Lace-up booties: Aldo Shoes (old). Watch: Fossil (here).

The last time I featured this dress (here!), I styled it in a summery, nautical way. But, it's such a great dress to throw on in a hurry that I just had to find a way to style it for fall! I love the military-inspired trend that has emerged this fall, and throwing on this army-chic jacket was the perfect way to transition my striped dress into fall and give it a tougher, less preppy feel.

I hope you all are having a wonderful, relaxing weekend! I'm enjoying the cooler weather and watching the Ryder Cup and lots of football (go Mizzou!).

4 Ways to Style White Jeans {part 4}. 9.25.2012

White jeans: Asos. Top: Forever 21. Heels: Aldo Shoes (old, but I like these). Bracelet & ring: vintage. Necklace: Forever 21 (old). Earrings: H&M. Nail color: "Haute as Hello" by Essie. 

For the final way I styled my white skinny jeans I went for a slightly fancier look to show how you can dress them up a little bit! I just love the contrast between the white and my black high-low blouse (one of my favorite trends at the moment). To dress up the look a little more I added my black studded pumps and some sparkly vintage jewelry.

4 Ways to Style White Jeans {part 3}. 9.18.2012

 Sweater: Express (old). White Skinny Jeans: Asos (here). Bag: Aldo (old). Boots: Payless (weird, right?). Bangle: vintage. Nail color: "Haute as Hello" by Essie purchased on Apothica.com!

White pants may seem a little weird taking into the fall season, but I love the bright contrast my pair has with my oversized gray sweater and tall brown boots! I wanted to show a look that was totally different from the other ways I've styled these white skinnies so far, and also wanted to show how I'll be carrying them over into fall! This will be a great casual outfit to wear to class in the coming months because it incorporates some of my favorite cold weather trends, but is also comfortable and realistic for walking across my large campus. 

I have a fun giveaway coming your way this weekend so make sure to check back in!

My Dream Closet for Fall. 9.14.2012

The weather is finally starting to cool down here in Missouri, and I can't wait to start wearing my favorite trends for fall! I love wearing earth tones, and fall is the perfect time to do so. Also, as you'll notice in each of these collages, I've selected neutral suede shoes to compliment the various colors and add texture to each look. Gold jewelry is the perfect extra touch to any warm-toned look and I'm in love with delicate necklaces, chunky bracelets, and statement earrings and rings. 

70's-Inspired Glamour:

Rachel Zoe is one of the primary reasons I fell in love with fashion, and I couldn't be more obsessed with her style - so I'll definitely be channeling it as much as possible this fall! 

I love that flares are making a major comeback, except that now you should purchase an extra-long, dark wash pair to wear with pretty platforms this season (let's not bring back the Hollister/Abercrombie look ever again). The great thing about this trend is that it makes your legs look SO long and slim, and we all want that, am I right?? Style your pair with a chic blouse or blazer, an oversized structured bag, and glamourous gold jewelry and you'll be the most stylish lady around!

Blouse: Mandarin Collared Blouse, americanvintage-store.com. Jeans: Rachel Zoe Indigo Denim Flared Rachel Jeans. Bag: Hermes Birkin Bag. Heels: Nelly Shoes - "Estelle". Ring: Brown Reversible Ring by wallisfashion.com. Bracelet: Solar Eclipse Yellow Gold Bracelet by Lara Bohinc. Necklace: Monogrammed Long Chain Necklace in Gold by Danielle Stevens Jewelry.

Casual-Chic

I'm really liking the tough, military-inspired trend this season, but if you're like me and don't want to fully commit with an army green jacket or cargo skinny pants, simply incorporate the trend with rubber-soled ankle booties and an army green bag. To balance things out, style your look with pretty, feminine pieces like a classic tailored blazer and delicate jewelry like this Michael Kors watch and Kate Spade bangle and earrings.

Blazer: Petite Cropped Sleeve Blazer from TopShop. Jeans: J Brand Low Rise Skinny Jean. Bootie: Michael Kors Elliot Bootie. Bag: PS1 Tote Large Zip Military by Proenza Schouler. Watch: Slim Runway Bracelet Watch by Michael Kors. Earrings: Gumdrop Stud Earrings by Kate Spade. Bangle: New York Et Cetera Idiom Bangle by Kate Spade. 

Fall Fancy:

Sometimes getting dressed up once the weather cools off can be tricky, but by incorporating warm earth tones and rich textures like leather and suede, this is a perfect "transitional" look!

Dress: Orange Pinkie Dress by One Teaspoon. Jacket: Cream Leather Mongolian Biker Jacket by River Island. Wedges: Terina Wedges by Aldo. Necklace: Keep It Simple Necklace by Dogeared. Clutch: Crosby Suede Envelope Clutch by Cole Haan. Earrings: "Be Linked In" Crystal-Accented Drop Earrings by Heidi Daus. Bracelet: Katie Gold-Tone Bracelet, Marc by Marc Jacobs.

I hope you enjoyed these fall trend ideas!

4 Ways to Style White Jeans {part 2}. 9.11.2012

 Jeans: Asos (here). Top: Kirra from PacSun (old). Wedges: Mossimo from Target (here). Bag: Aldo (old). Watch: Fossil (here). Earrings: Target. 

As I'm sure you've probably seen on Pinterest (here's mine!) and various fashion blogs, mixed prints have become quite the growing trend. While I usually think it looks great, I don't quite have the right pieces in my wardrobe or the guts to try it yet! 

However, white skinnies are a great way to ease into the trend because they brightly break up the different pieces you're wearing! Here I was able to mix together a top and shoes that are both striped and brightly colored without them clashing or being overwhelming. I love how all of the colors came together so well, and that my sister scouted out this cute teal wall for a fun backdrop!

Tobi dress. 9.07.2012

Dress: Tobi (here, but sold out in this color unfortunately). Wedges: Steve Madden from TJ Maxx. Earrings: Target. Bracelet: vintage. Nails: "Cloud" by Revlon. 

I'm absolutely in love with my new lilac dress from Tobi.com, which has quickly become my new favorite online shop! They have so many adorable things, and if I had the funds I could easily pick up just about everything they have in no time at all! In addition to having the cutest things ever, they have 30% off all of their new inventory everyday, so it's an amazing deal and also quite addicting :)

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

xo,

4 Ways to Style White Jeans {part 1}. 9.04.2012

White skinny jeans: Asos (here!). Tee: Target. Bag and sandals: Aldo (old). Watch: Fossil (here).

One of my very favorite trends right now is white skinny jeans! I love the easy transition between casual and classy with the roll of a pant leg or simply changing from a v-neck to a pretty blouse. This has been a great little outfit to throw on this summer when I'm wanting to wear more than the usual denim shorts. I also love that this simple (and inexpensive) v-neck tee is an easy way to wear the neon trend without having to be too daring or committed.

You know that dumb "no white after Labor Day" rule? Well, if rules were made to be broken then I'm definitely breaking that one! I'm not ready to put away my white skinny jeans anytime soon, so this month I'll be showing you some of the different ways I'll be continuing to wear mine into fall :)

xo,

Jacy
