dressed up sweatshirt. 2.27.2013

 Sweatshirt: Forever 21 (old) | Skirt: Target (old)

Flats: Old Navy (sold out) | Necklace & bracelet: vintage

Well, we got pummeled with two snow storms... I'm telling you this is for two reasons: 1) I was going to do an Oscar's best dressed post, but our Internet was out for over a day and now I feel that the Oscar's buzz has passed as it's now been nearly 3 days (cue sad face...I Love Oscars gowns). 2) I was supposed to be posting my 4th graphic tee look this week, but considering that there are nearly 2 feet of snow on the ground, and that we are having to shovel our way out of the driveway, I'm not really feeling the whole skirt & 40-inch heels thing right now...

SO, now that the Internet is back, I'm posting some photos my dear friend Jo of Jo Johnson Photography shot a little while back, and this just-for-fun outfit is brightening my rather cranky mood a little bit. I love the idea of dressing up a sweatshirt, so I figured why not go all out with tulle?

Hope you are all staying warmer and dryer than I am! There is absolutely nothing glamorous about snow.

xo,

Jacy

tuesday twist: 4 ways to wear a fancy skirt {part 4}. 7.31.2012

 Skirt: Target (old). Tank top: PacSun. Vest: Forever 21 (old). Booties: Aldo (similar pair here). Bracelet: Vintage.  Nail polish: "Minted" by Revlon. 

For my final Tuesday Twist look this month, I wanted to do something totally different with this skirt! I hardly ever wear this vest because I have never thought of many ways to style it, but I like the contrast between a tougher, wool piece and a light airy piece. On another note, these hidden wedge booties from Aldo are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned! You'll probably see me wearing them a lot in the coming fall and winter months :)

I love the spot where Jordyn snapped these photos because the colors look so neat with this outfit. Check out all of the gorgeous new photos she's done lately (including some amazing dance photography) on her Facebook page!

tuesday twist: 4 ways to wear a fancy skirt {part 3}. 7.24.2012

 Skirt: Target (old). Strapless cami: PacSun. Beaded clutch and sparkly ring: vintage. Studded heels: Aldo (I like these and these). Watch: Fossil. Pearl wrap bracelet: gifted. Nails: "Minted" by Revlon. 

I know I've shown a couple of more casual ways that I wear this skirt, so this week for Tuesday Twist I wanted to do something a little fancier! Black is always a go-to when I want to dress up, and I liked how much the pink tulle stood out against a simple top. 

   I've realized that all of my favorite pieces of jewelry have been gifts or passed down to me at some point. The freshwater pearl wrap bracelet I'm wearing here was a gift to me on my 8th birthday from my late grandmother. I love how timeless pearls are and that I adore this bracelet even more now than I did when she gave it to me! Similarly, the silver spoon ring I always have on belonged to my mom when she was younger, and I've worn it nearly every day since she passed it down to me. I guess I just love looking down and thinking of special times and people in my life...

What's your favorite piece of jewelry that's been given to you from someone special?

xo,

Jacy

xx A special thank you to my dear friend Jordyn of Jo Photography who snapped these lovely photos for me! xx

tuesday twist: 4 ways to wear a fancy skirt {part 1}. 7.03.2012

Tulle skirt: Target (old). Top: Blue Rain from Francesca's (borrowed from my sister). Cross-body clutch and sandals: Aldo Shoes last summer (love this pair of sandals on sale here!). Rose ring: Forever 21. Braided suede bracelets: H&M. Earrings: a gift from my mom :)

For this month's Tuesday Twist I chose this pale pink tulle skirt. When I scored this skirt from the sale rack at Target a few years ago (I couldn't turn down something ballet-inspired after all of my dancing years!) I didn't expect it to be a versatile piece of clothing and for awhile I simply styled it with a nice black tank top and sandals or occasionally heels. 

However, with a little creativity (and boredom perhaps) I've figured out many different ways to style this skirt, and hopefully the four ways I'm demonstrating this month will give you some ideas to use with your own wardrobe! This is a summery way to style this skirt with the white and pastel shades, an airy embellished tank, and a casual bag and sandals. 

Happy 4th of July!

xo,

Jacy
