April Remix: White Jeans {3 + recap} 4.29.2014

 Top: Tobi | Jeans: American Eagle (on sale!)

I can't believe I'm wrapping up yet another remix series! I've styled my white skinny jeans 3 different ways for spring, and I'm wrapping it up with a little going out/date night look! I love a simple, loose tank for a night out because they're easy to dress up, and I just always feel best with a little breathing room. Normally white jeans wouldn't be my first choice for a going out look, but with black and red they make quite a statement!

Here are all 3 looks!

PS ~ I'm really considering not doing my monthly remix series anymore. These past few months I just haven't been feeling as inspired, and I almost feel like I'm limiting myself a bit. I don't know... Maybe if I take a break I'll be into it again. What are your thoughts? Is this something you really love seeing on here or is it just 'eh'? Or would you like an occasional remix post showing a few different ways I've worn a particular item over the course of normal blog posts??

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!

 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 {3 + recap} 2.28.2014

 Top: Target (similar here + more below) | Jeans: Gap (similar here and below)

Heels: Steve Madden (sold out | similar option here) | Clutch: Gap (non-neon version here)

Necklace: Forever 21 | Bracelets: Forever 21 and Lia Sophia

Happy Friday!

After a stressful week of work and wedding planning, and the internet being out at our house, I'm pretty ready for the weekend.

For my third & final boyfriend jeans look this month, I went for simple sophistication! I love this loose peplum top because it's easy to dress up or down, and pretty much goes with everything. The relaxed fit of my top and jeans makes the outfit not overly fancy, which leaves room to add in fun accessories like strappy heels, a statement necklace, and a bright bag.

Here are my 3 looks from this month! Which was your favorite?

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.

February Remix: Boyfriend Jeans {1} 2.05.2014

Top: H&M (very similar tops here, here & here) | Jeans: Gap (similar here and below)

Jacket: Forever 21 (old, similar here) | Heels: Target (similar here)

Necklace: Forever 21 (similar here and here)

For my February Remix series I wanted to feature an item that's great for the winter-to-spring transition, and I think boyfriend jeans are just that! My pair isn't as relaxed or loose-fitting as a lot of them out there, but I think it's a good middle ground pair that's trendy but not too edgy (I do live in Missouri after all).

For my first look, I styled an outfit that is a bit sophisticated, but still somewhat casual and super wearable. I love this idea for a date night or dinner out with friends because the top and heels are a bit fancier, while the jeans and jacket add some contrast.

Happy Wednesday ladies! We're halfway through the work week :)

PS ~ my hair is not actually auburn, so I guess I'll blame that on funky lighting. I did, however, finally color my hair back to dark brown last night so it won't be weird and faded anymore with my awkward blonde roots. This was also my first try at my new curling wand! I did it at 7am and had no idea what I was doing, so despite that I like how it turned out and all the volume it created!

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??

January Remix: Graphic Sweater {2} 1.17.2014

 Sweater: Forever 21 (similar here, here, and here) | Skirt: Forever 21 (similar)

Heels: Prabal Gurung for Target (similar) | Clutch: Gap (love this one)

Gold bracelets: Forever 21 (one here)

Here is my second look styling this fun little graphic sweater! {Check out the first look here} This winter I've been loving the whole sweater + skirt thing. It's so unexpected but so cute for a night out! Just add some jewels, a fun clutch and some lipstick and you're golden! A little going out look that feels laid back but glam too.

I don't know about you, but I'm having a major TGIF moment today! This week was crazy at work and I'm so ready for a relaxing, stress-free weekend. Happy weekend!

xo,

Jacy
