Colorful Paisley 9.04.2014

 Dress: Asos (I got a size 4 + I'm 5'9" for length reference)

Sandals: Target (on sale & so comfortable!)

Bag: The Limited (sold out in this color but I love the blush) | Necklace: Forever 21 (similar)

Watch: Fossil | Druzy Bracelet: Margaret Elizabeth

Lip Color: Dior in 893 Trompre L'Oeil

Anytime I'm looking for a dress - whether it be for work, date nights or special occasions - my go-to has really become Asos! They have so much selection at many different price points and they've pulled through for me so many times. This dress is one of my favorite purchases of the summer! I loved the bold colorful pattern, but that it wasn't overwhelming, and I really loved how versatile this dress is. I originally bought it for our honeymoon, but it's conservative enough for me to wear to work, and I think it will be an awesome transition dress for fall with booties too.

To celebrate the end of summer, take an extra 15% off of your order at Asos with the code 'SUMMERDONTGO'!

 Top: J. Crew Factory (on sale!) | Jeans: Forever 21

Flats: Go Jane | Bag: The Limited

Watch: Fossil | Tassel Bracelet: Cathryn Ann Designs | Pink Beaded Bracelet: Lily & Laura

Hello! I can't tell you how excited I am to be posting an outfit. I know it's been a couple of weeks and I feel terrible about it. This is one of my new favorite outfits though, so I'm excited to share! With a limited budget this summer I'm trying to buy tops that go with a lot of things, and this J. Crew Factory blouse is a perfect example! I've worn it a few times like above, but it's great with anything from denim or colorful chino shorts to being tucked into a pencil skirt for work.

A little life update:
- I'm starting my 3rd week at my new job, and I'm absolutely loving it!
- If everything goes smoothly, we should close on our house 1 week from today (knocking on wood)!
- Wedding planning is going so well and I can't believe we're just 5 1/2 weeks out! My first bridal shower is this Saturday :)

I hope your week is off to a great start. Thanks for reading!
xo,
Jacy

Love Tee 6.02.2014

Tee: J. Crew Factory (love this one too) | Jeans: Gap (similar)

Flats: Go Jane | Bag: The Limited

Necklace: Etsy (similar) (real J. Crew one here) | Watch: Fossil | Gold bracelets: old F21

Pink bracelet: Lily and Laura (Staxx Boutique buy in Springfield | great online selection here)

I hope your Monday is off to a great start! Last weekend on Memorial Day Trey and I got to go to the outlet mall at Lake of the Ozarks (Missouri girls you know what I'm talking about...it's great), and I did quite a bit of shopping for my new job! I had great intentions of only buying things I could wear to work, but I couldn't resist this little 'Love' tee at J. Crew Factory. Oh, and did I mention everything in the store was 50% off + an additional 10% off?! Yeah, I kind of went to town.

I love dressing up a graphic tee with jewelry (in this case my statement necklace), shoes, and sometimes a blazer! They're so fun to play around with.

Swing Dress 5.21.2014

 Dress: Asos (on sale!) | Bag: The Limited

Sandals: Target (similar) | Necklace: Forever 21 (similar - 50% off right now)

Watch: Fossil | Bracelet: F21 (old)

 I'd wanted a swingy striped dress for the longest time, and I found this little number at Asos (oh, and it's currently on sale). I've vented about this before, but I have the hardest time finding skirts and dresses of a reasonable length that don't look frumpy on me. I'm 23 and want to look fun and young, but I also don't want to have to be paranoid all day long! So, I was so excited that this one was a great length, and that it's seriously so comfy - score! I wore it dressed down Monday evening with sandals and a fun necklace for dinner and shopping with my bestie (shoutout to Haley for snapping pics for me!), but have also dressed it up with wedges and dressier jewelry for work.

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!

A Fun Accessory 4.14.2014

 Top: Banana Republic (old, similar here + more below) | Jeans: Forever 21

Bag: The Limited | Wedges: Target (love these)

Headband: Do-Da Wraps c/o (navy/white vertical stripes in turban style) | Necklace: Forever 21 (similar here & here)

Watch: Fossil | Bracelet: Reece & Blair from Crave Boutique

One of my favorite ways to add a little 'vavavoom' in the spring and summer (or to cover up humidity-stricken or unwashed hair) is wearing headbands! I'm loving my new navy & white turban headband from Do-Da Wraps, and it's going to be perfect for anything from work (like styled above) to a top knot at the pool. Do-Da Wraps is a new favorite Etsy shop, and I love Sarahn's quick turnaround time, adorable fabrics, and wonderful customer service. Something I really liked was that any of the fabrics on her Etsy page can be made as a headwrap or the turban style, and that my headband is smooth and stretchy (much more comfortable than headbands I've owned in the past). Be sure to check out Do-Da Wraps, and take 25% off your entire order with the code 'JACY25'!

Hello! I want to start off with an apology for my accidental 5-day blogging break. I put together most of this post on Friday, but never had the time to finish it, and then there was never a good chance this weekend either. I don't like going this long between posts, but sometimes a complete break from blogging on the weekend can be a good thing, yes? How was your weekend?? Mine was actually really great. Trey came to stay with me while I pet/house-sat for my parents, and we went on a fancy date, played some golf, went shopping, watched his niece's & nephew's basketball games, and got in a bit of downtime. Pretty perfect :)

 This is an outfit I wore recently that I realized was a great winter-to-spring transition look. I've worn this top, jeans and booties together all fall and winter, but by simply swapping out some accessories I was able to update my look for spring!

Mint Shift 3.10.2014

 Dress: Rodi Boutique | Boots: Aldo (old)

Bag: The Limited | Necklace: Francesca's in-store (similar)

I'm so happy that we're finally starting to get a bit of spring weather here! I'm absolutely loving trendy bright pastels this spring like mint, coral and ice blue. I have so many spring skirts and dresses on my wish list, like this one from Simons, so I'm glad the weather is finally catching up.

I love that mint has stuck around as a spring trend another year, and this little shift dress is surprisingly versatile. Here, I've styled it as a more casual winter-to-spring transitional look, but one of these days I'll dress it up on here too.

Hope your week is off to a great start!

Jacy

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

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

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
