April Remix: White Jeans {2} 4.21.2014

 Top: H&M | Jeans: American Eagle (on sale)

Flats: Target | Bag: The Limited (40% off!)

Watch: Fossil

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and weekend! Working in marketing doesn't leave me with a ton of days off, but fortunately we got Friday off, which made for a wonderful (and much-needed) long weekend filled with house-hunting (eek!) and family time.

This is a super easy and classic look that works really well for a casual workplace, weekend lunch, etc. Blue and white are such a crisp pairing and I always gravitate toward blue tops when I wear these jeans.

I hope your work or school week is off to a great start!

April Remix: White Jeans {1} 4.07.2014

Shirt: Forever 21 (similar) | Jeans: American Eagle (+ similar pair below)

Shoes: BCBGeneration (similar low, middle, high) | Clutch: Gap (old | love this one)

Watch: Fossil | Earrings: Francescas (similar high and low)

Bracelets: Lily and Laura (handmade by women in Nepal | great shop for them here)

I realize white skinny jeans are nothing new and exciting, and that I've remixed them multiple times before (last fall included). But everything spring rolls around they feel so fun and fresh, and I love how many ways there are to style them! Prints, solids, sweaters, breezy tanks, brights, neutrals...all so cute! So, stick with me as I wear my trusted white skinnies some more. This is my first look of 3 this month!

March Remix: Little Black T-Shirt {2} 3.12.2014

 T-shirt: Target (I went up a size) | Skirt: boutique find (similar here and here)

Heels: Steve Madden (similar here and here) | Purse: Tobi (similar here + more below)

Necklace: J. Crew Factory (J. Crew version here)

Hello all! This is my second remix look of the month styling my little black t-shirt (check out the first look here). Besides the obvious ways to wear a t-shirt, I wanted to take it up a notch and dress up my basic black tee a few different ways to show what a versatile piece it can be! In the spring and summer I love throwing on a t-shirt with a skirt and sandals for an easy, but cute outfit. It's easy to dress up too by simply adding some heels, lipstick and a dressier bag!

March Remix: Little Black T-Shirt {1} 3.07.2014

 T-shirt: Target (I went up a size to get a longer, relaxed fit) | Blazer: Forever 21 (old, similar here and here)

Jeans: Forever 21 (similar here and here) | Heels: Steve Madden (similar here and here)

Bag: The Limited | Watch: Fossil

Hello and Happy Friday!

I'm kicking off a new remix series today and I'm really excited about this one. I'm going back to basics this month and will be styling my little black t-shirt 3 different ways. We all know the basic ways to wear a t-shirt (with shorts, boyfriend jeans, under a sweater, etc.), but I'm going to take mine to the next level and dress it up!

For today's look I went for a bit of simple sophistication and a put-together look! To me, this outfit brings day-to-night to mind because it can totally work for a casual office and dinner out. I bought this blazer at Forever 21 3 or 4 years ago, but it's continued to be a great staple piece! Blush pink is so "in" this spring, and there really are so many different ways to wear a cropped blazer. I'm also debuting my new purse for this spring and summer (and maybe longer)! I scored it on major sale from The Limited and I'm absolutely obsessed. The quality is great, and I love the classic, chic shape and versatile color.

Cheers to the weekend!

xo,

Jacy

February Remix: Boyfriend Jeans {2} 2.17.2014

T-shirt: Target | Jeans: Gap (similar + more below)

Flats: Target | Scarf: H&M (similar)

Watch: Fossil | Bracelet: Forever 21 | Bag: Phillip Lim for Target

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day weekend :)

 The highlight of my weekend was taking our engagement photos yesterday! I could not be more happy with how they turned out and I'm absolutely obsessed! I've only seen 8 so far, which you can take a look at on Jo Johnson Photography (we're the first album). Styling our outfits the past couple of weeks was a blast, and we ended up doing 4 different looks. I love how they all turned out, and honestly will be flipping through the photos all day!

Now to my outfit... For the second look of my Boyfriend Jeans remix series I wanted to do an everyday, casual outfit that's so easy to put together with items you probably already own! A great way to add variety to the jeans + tee look is to throw on a cardigan, blazer or leather jacket too. And if you missed my first post, I styled my bf jeans in a more sophisticated way here.

xo,

January Remix: Graphic Sweater {3 + recap} 1.30.2014

Sweater: Forever 21 (similar here, here and here) | Pants: Target (they are amazing, promise! | or J. Crew Factory version here)

Chambray shirt: Forever 21 (similar) | Heels: Prabal Gurung for Target (similar)

Necklace: Forever 21 (back in stock!) | Watch: Fossil | Bracelet: Forever 21

As I feel every month around this time, where did the past 30 days go?? It's already time for me to wrap up another remix series and this month I styled this graphic sweater 3 different ways. 

As you may have noticed, I very rarely do any layering. I've just never felt confident in doing it or had many of the right pieces. Plus, I'm not convinced it's very comfortable, honestly! But today, I made an exception and did a little layering with my ever-versatile chambray shirt.

Here are all 3 looks. Which one was your favorite??

In February I'm planning to remix my little distressed boyfriend jeans 3 ways, so watch for that to start next week!

January Remix: Graphic Sweater {1} 1.05.2014

 Sweater: Forever 21 (similar here, here, here, here and here) | Jeans: Rodi Boutique (on sale!)

Booties: Target | Purse: Phillip Lim for Target

Watch: Fossil | Bangle: Forever 21

Hello gals!

I'm back with a new remix series for a new year! I ended up not doing one last month because things were so hectic with the holidays, but January feels like a great time to start fresh! I've been loving the graphic sweater trend this year, and neutral one like this is great to wear a bunch of different ways. These olive jeans have been one of my favorite purchases of this fall/winter season, and they pair so well with a cozy sweater.

In other news...it's freaking cold out!! And snowy. I'm not sure how I'll be able to get to work tomorrow...stressed about that! Stay safe and warm everyone. xoxo.

November Remix: White Jeans {1} 11.05.2013

 Sweater: Old Navy (sold out online | similar here, here & here) | Jeans: American Eagle (more below) 

Boots: Lands End | Bag: Phillip Lim for Target (sold out)

Initial necklace and bangle: Brin & Bell Etsy shop | Other bracelets: F21 & vintage (similar)

I know it's pretty unconventional to be doing a remix series on white jeans right now seeing as they're usually a spring/summer item, but I by no means think your white jeans have to be stowed away for the fall and winter! When it's cold out and I'm wearing jeans virtually every day, I love to have different colors to mix in with my basic dark blue and black jeans to avoid boredom. To me these jeans are perfectly 'fall' when updated and transitioned with riding boots and a cozy sweater. 

Be on the lookout for two more white jeans outfit posts coming later this month!

xo,

Jacy

October Remix: Chambray Shirt {2} 10.15.2013

 Shirt: Forever 21 (similar here, here and here) | Skirt: H&M (old | some of my favorite fall skirts below)

Booties: Target | Bag: Phillip Lim for Target (sold out)

Bracelets: F21 and vintage (great gold layering bracelets here and here)

This is my second chambray shirt look of the month! If you missed the first post or need a refresher, you can find it here! You already know how much I love wearing skirts with booties for fall days that aren't too cold, so adding a staple chambray shirt to the mix makes for the perfect fall outfit in my book. Because chambray/denim shirts go with so much anyways, you can easily style them with lots of different skirts or even tie them over dresses!

august remix: printed skirt {1} 8.01.2013

 Top: H&M (in-store only / like these sheer panel tees here & here) | Skirt: Target

Shoes: Target | Necklace: 'Beadz & Bling' Etsy shop (J. Crew original here)

Bracelets: ASOS, F21, Francesca's

 It's a new month, which means it's time for a new remix series and I'm jumping right in! I couldn't wait any longer to post this skirt. It's without a doubt one of my favorite purchases this year and the $14.99 price tag makes it that much better. I've been extra obsessed with coral, orange and red this summer, so I love this fun orange-y print! I also love the challenge of dressing up a casual skirt a little bit. In this case, the sheer panel dresses up my tee, and my jewelry and heels add a slightly more sophisticated feel.

I loved all of your responses to last month's remix series, so I hope you all enjoy this one as well! 

xo,

Jacy

PS ~ it's almost the weekend {hooray}!
