1920's NYE

I was so ready to kick 2016 to the curb and welcome in a more amazing 2017! I knew I had to dress the part this year so I worked especially hard on my outfit!

DIY Circle skirt mini

I am not quite ready to welcome fall as you can tell with this super summery floral fabric I found at Hobby Lobby.  I wanted to make a midi skirt but clearly I under estimated the amount of fabric I would need so from midi to mini it was.  I did a really poor job of documenting a "how to" but all you need to do is find a circle skirt pattern (pinterest) and find your measurements.  Just to give you an idea.  I am 5' 7" and my pattern length was 24in.
I love how it turned out and am over the moon with how girly it is, I want to twirl in circles but that won't be happening since I do not want to provide a show for my neighborhood.  Even though Fall is swiftly approaching I am going to hold onto these warm Texas days for as long as I can.  I like sandals and girly dress, not ready to embrace tights, boots, and layers!

birds of a feather...

Here is another outfit that you can easily take from the office to a dinner out with the boy, or drinks with the girls.  I really love this skirt it makes me want to twirl around, but in these heels I would likely fall and cause a scene!

Once again L. Mae boutique nailed it with an ultra feminine skirt that I paired with this breezy white top from Forever 21.  I like skirts that have color in them, it makes it easier to pair it with a solid top (especially a top you already have in your closet).

Its almost Friday!  I hope that you all have something fun planned for this weekend!

OUO (Outfit under One Hundred)

Well a few weeks ago we headed to Houston to see my good friend Kristina and her Husband Dylan. Us girls had planned an entire Saturday of shopping, mapping out our route to our favorite discount stores.  One of my favorite purchases from the weekend was this "Kiss top" that I found at J. Crew Factory.  I have been seeing so many bloggers styling all these cute graphic tees and when I came across this one for $29.98 on the clearance rack I knew I would really enjoy styling it, so imagine my surprise when it rang up for just under $15.00!

I am typically not someone who dresses casually, I love wearing girly dresses and heels.  I thought that this top would be a great addition to my closet and add something different.  I decided to pair it with these great boyfriend Jeans I found at Nordstrom Rack on mega clearance a few months ago for a laid back yet comfortable look.  I can easily transition this into Fall, which is a plus too.

So as I put this outfit together I realized that all of my items were under 100.00.  This got me thinking, I would love to try and create an outfit under 100.00 for other posts.  Hopefully I can be creative and come up with one weekly post that will total at or under $100.00, so stay tuned for OUO posts!
