The Perfect Plaid Dress

Happy Saturday everyone! I don’t know about you but I am so happy it’s the weekend, this week was kind of awful. I started getting sick last weekend so I couldn’t get all my blog pictures done that I wanted but I did manager to get one. This off white and black plaid fit and flare dress from Maison Jules is pure perfection. It is so flattering on, I felt so good. I basically stalked this dress until it went on sale. I paired it with my new over the knee boots by DV for Target and of course over the knee socks. I loved it so much I can’t wait to wear it again! Such a simple concept can make you feel so good, a dress, boots, and socks. It is a great winter office look or you can even add black or brown booties or heels to dress it up more for work. The over the knew boots  are great for a more casual look.

Black & Yellow

Hello there!

It has been some time, sorry about that! I just wanted to share an outfit and a quick life update. I totally felt like a teacher today with my collard (half) button-up and my cardigan. I love black, white, and yellow together so throwing this yellow cardigan over this black and white gingham print top was a no brainer. My work is pretty cold but these layers together make it to where you do not need a jacket. There are sometimes a jacket can just throw off an outfit you know? The top isn’t too thin and the sweater is fitted so together they keep you pretty warm. I paired this combo with black ankle slacks and some black and “wood” pumps and boom, easy office outfit.


As for life, I have been at my new job for almost a month and a half and I am still loving it! Trying to make new outfits everyday is so fun and actually being able to wear heels is like a dream come true. For anyone who knows me well they know that when it comes to heels I am pretty self conscious about wearing them because of my height. I am about 5′ 8″ so with heels I am easily 6′. I have been working on not caring though and I wear heels majority of the week and it makes me so happy!

I can’t believe its already the end of October. I feel like fall just started and now it seems like it is almost over and it hasn’t even gotten cold yet! I am happy that the temperature has dropped a little and we had a couple days of rain, but can it just be cloudy so I can wear a scarf and drink hot chocolate? Halloween is this weekend and I haven’t even seen Hocus Pocus yet this year. Why does this season get away from us so quickly?! Anyways, although the holidays will be upon us shortly I am excited for the seasons. I am working on getting a bunch of new blogs and new outfits together this weekend so if all goes as planned I will start showing them to you next week!

Also, next month is NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month, and I am going to participate again this year! For those of you who do not know the goal for NaNoWriMo is to write 50,000 words in 30 days, that is about 1,667 words day which is totally doable, you just have to be disciplined. I did pretty well last year but different holiday events rolled around and then Thanksgiving and I let myself slack too much. I didn’t hit 50,000 words but I didn’t fully expect myself to. This year I have a new novel idea that I have been playing around with for two years so I am a little more confident. I want to hit 50,000 words this time. Basically my November will consist of a lot of writing every day, squeezing in blogging, and working out and everything else… except Netflix (sigh!). Wish me luck as it starts! I will keep you updated and will talk to you soon with some new styles!

Sorry this post wasn’t as quick as I thought lol! Happy Tuesday!

New Blouse! 

Last week at work was spirit week so I didn’t get a chance to wear my new blouse until today. It’s so dainty and girly, I love it! It can also be worn with a lot of different bottoms, causal or dressy. I got it at Macy’s when I got the olive ankle slacks I posted last week, which I’m also wearing here. This outfit was so simple yet so cute. I went to Starbucks on the way to work and this older man told me how well I color coordinated because my purse matched! It was such a funny compliment to me but still nice.

Hope you had a happy Monday!

Flannels and Fall

Fall is finally here! I want to jump for sweet cinnamon joy into a pile of freshly raked leaves. I bought a new flannel from Target a few weeks ago and have been waiting until yesterday to wear it. I also refused to get a Pumpkin Spice Latte until it was officially Fall, so yesterday was a great day, I wore my flannel and got a PSL. Now it’s time to get some new Fall decorations and impatiently wait for cooler weather. There are so many outfits I want to wear but it’s still too hot! Such a southern Cali struggle right? I want a scarf and knee high socks stat.

I am sooo in love with this flannel because the colors are perfect for this new season. I already have my next outfit planned for it too. Flannels are great because they are casual, yet you can dress them up for the office. Like yesterday I wore them with my navy Maison Jules skinny ankle slacks. You can also tuck them into high waist pants, and my personal favorite (that I didn’t do this time) is add a statement necklace under the collar. Also did you see my new heels again? See I told you I’d be wearing them a lot. Lastly this purse is amazing and perfect and was only like $30 from Charming Charlie.  Check it out!


Happy Friday!

Cube Style

Ever since I got a job with a desk I have been obsessed and determined to decorate it. My workspace is where I spend the majority of my time so I want to make it mine somehow. The way you decorate a room expresses your personal style, just like styling yourself. For the last two years I have been slowly collecting for my office from the Threshold and Nate Berkus lines at Target. I decided on a wood, pink, and gold color scheme and by some miracle even almost two years later Target still carries the same line of items. This has been great because I haven’t had to buy everything I wanted at once, I’ve been able to get a little here and there. Now at my new job I’ve moved from an office to a cubicle. It doesn’t have as much room but enough to make due. The gray of my cube though has been killing me these last three days! It is time to move in my office decor, little by little, I can’t look like I’m moving in haha! I’m just excited to bring my weenie dog tape dispenser in tomorrow, he has been greatly missed.

First Day Look

Today was my first day at my new job! I am now a Branch Facilities Coordinator at New American Funding. I was so excited/nervous this morning! Orientation was really cool though and actually fun. It also helps that one of my best friends works there too, in another department but we still get to have lunch together.

So the dress code here is business casual with casual Fridays. For the first day I wanted to wear something that was not too dressy, but not too casual either. I wanted to gauge  how everyone else dressed in the office. It turned out my outfit was perfect, just enough dressed up. I chose my ankle slacks from Target (my favorite work pants), and my new loose white and black polkadot ruffle-hem top from Maison Jules at Macy’s. To go over my top I picked my new mustard cardigan from Target, I LOVE pairing mustard over black and white. For shoes I knew I wanted to wear flats, and although it may sound weird to some I went with the leopard pointed toe flats from Target. I know polkadots and leopard print doesn’t sound like it goes together but it worked really well! The leopard print went with the color scheme of black and mustard.

…See!

Wedding Season!

Dressing up for a wedding is so fun! You get to wear a dress, heels, do good make up, and actually style your hair in more than just curls, if you want. I love it! I think I also like the fact that I get to buy a new dress. I already have pictures in all of my dresses so obviously I can’t wear any of the ones in my closet to a wedding! Duh! The things I tell myself to buy new clothes…

I had been thinking for awhile what I should wear to my brother’s and new sister’s wedding. I had no ideas but knew when I saw the right dress I would know. I had come across a red dress at Target that I really liked, but thought I shouldn’t try it since it was red and I have red hair. Then my bffff tried it on and sent me a picture. Every time I went to Target I would see this dress. I started calling it the “lamp shade dress”, you’ll see why. Finally I went into Target again and decided to try it on. The Target Cartwheel app. had a coupon for 40% off dresses. Trying it on I LOVED it! I had the idea of wearing it with camel tan heels and gold accessories. After confirming it looked okay with my hair with about three friends, I bought it.

I knew exactly which shoes I wanted to pair with it. I had actually bought them before and returned them for the black pair. They are a camel tan peep-toe platform with a thick heel and an ankled strap. So cute and SO comfy! I wore them for 7 hours on the day of the wedding and was perfectly fine.

I went to find a necklace about two days before the wedding, I knew I just needed something gold so it wouldn’t be too hard to find. As usual I went to Charming Charlie because that store never fails. I found a gold necklace that had the same detail idea as the dress, fringe-ish. I also found a camel tan clutch on sale for $8.99! I ended up using it the entire weekend (but forgot to hold it in my picture, oops.).

I felt very happy with my choice for this wedding. Now I just need a new dress for one of my best friend’s bridal shower, bachelorette party, and wedding… I told you, it is wedding season!

Knox Rose Roundup

For any of you who follow my Instagram (@the.B.Law) you’ve seen my recent new obsession, Knox Rose at Target. This line has just gotten me so excited! The style is mostly boho, yet some are only slightly boho, if that even makes sense. I have been getting more into this style lately thanks to my Roomie, thanks girl! In this short time span I have acquired four new pieces from the line… oops? Two were on sale though so it is okay…actually all four were on sale so it’s definitely okay! Anyways let’s check it out!

The first one I got was this tank that I like to call my indian top but it is actually named the Embroidered Tank Top in cream. You’ll see what I mean when you see the embroidery. I LOVE this tank! It has the cutest fringe detail on the bottom and is pretty long on, but not too long where it looks weird with shorts. On Memorial Day weekend I wore it with my boyfriend shorts from Old Navy, and my new Gladiator sandals and hat both from Target as well.

The second top I got, well actually I bought the first tank, the gladiator sandals, and this second top together because they were all 30% for Memorial Day weekend. This top is too cute! I love it because it is kind of different. This is one of the examples of how some of the Knox Rose pieces can be slightly boho.

The ruffle peasant arms and ruffle peplum bottom make this top feel so girly! There is also a subtle polkadot detail on the entire top that is in the same color as the rest of the fabric however it is textured, you can feel the polkadots. The crocheted neck helps to keep the boho feel. Also how awesome is this bright red?! I recently discovered that I can actually can wear red with red hair, and I like it! I am wearing red this weekend too but that is for a different post!

This third piece I found this past Friday and was on the clearance rack for $19! It is something I normally wouldn’t wear but I fell in love! It is perfect to add a little something to your outfit!

I cannot wait to figure out what I can wear this white and indigo Tie Dye Vest with next! It is just so fun, I wore it to the zoo on Saturday when I went with my boyfriend’s mom, sister, and nephew. It is the perfect addition to a simple and casual summer outfit to do just about anything in!

Lastly I found a beige oversized knit cardigan on the clearance rack for $8! I recently just discovered why it was on clearance as my thumb went into a hole but it is okay. The hole is in the seam and totally fixable so it was so worth the $8. It is so soft and comfortable I wore it all day at work yesterday and never wanted to take it off! The color is so perfect to literally go over anything. I didn’t get a picture yet but you can check it out here: Layering Knit Top with Crochet in Beige – Knox Rose at Target.

If you haven’t done so, go check out the Knox Rose line at Target you really won’t regret it! I already have my eye on a couple of other items!

Talk to you soon!

Wild!

I know I always say that Fall is my favorite season but Spring is my second favorite and there are SO MANY cute new clothes coming out! In my last post Spring Dress! I talked about a few things that I had found at the Old Navy Spring Sale (seriously go check it out). Well today I found a top to go with the shorts that I got last week. These cuffed linen shorts in “BLUSHIN UP” are totally cute and were on sale for $15! Not only are they super casual, but you can dress them up with wedges and still feel like you are in PJ shorts! I mean what is better than wearing lounge wear all day?! The tank I just happened to pass by and thought it was cute. It was also $15 normal price. I love dressing up graphic tees/tanks with statement necklaces to get a dressy casual look in that way that says “I always dress cute even when I am not trying” kind of way (life goal). Check it out:

My Favorite Things #3

Today I wanted to share two of my favorite hair products! So I have a lot of hair. It’s pretty long and it’s thick and there is just a lot of it and it’s always everywhere. My sister is a hairstylist so of course I’m always getting my hair done and different. I’ve been dark brown, blonde, red, brown again, blonde again, now red again, it’s an endless cycle of change but I love it. Bleach though, seriously dries out your hair. When I was blonde and even awhile after I was no longer blonde, I couldn’t brush my hair when it was wet. It would just break off in my brush and was SUPER tangly. One day my stepmom came home from the salon my sister works out and handed me a brush she got me. It’s called the Wet Brush. It looked like a pretty standard brush but she said its supposed to work really well with wet hair. Well that night after washing my hair I tried it. It was like MAGIC. It went through my hair like nothing! No hair broke off and no tangles! I was so amazed. How does this thing work?! Well it has special flexible bristles that just go through your hair without pulling it. I’ve been using it for three years and can’t even use a regular brush now. I tried and it hurt. There really is a difference. I finally just bought a new one and it’s PINK! If you have trouble with detangling your hair I HIGHLY recommend this brush! I refuse to use any other brush now. It’s also great for kids! My sister uses it on my niece and there are no tears! I got my new one at Target and it was only $8.99!

  
My second hair favorite is Not Your Mother’s Clean Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo. Come on girls, who doesn’t love dry shampoo? There is usually one day a week that I just dry shampoo my entire head. Sometimes you just don’t want to wash your hair and mine takes forever to dry so if it’s late and I haven’t washed it yet, then I’ll just dry shampoo the next day. The last dry shampoo I tried started off good but within a couple hours my hair just looked greasy again, and by the end of the day it looked really bad. The next time I tried this one and it worked great and it smelled so good! It totally lasted all day, even when I had to use it on my entire head. You can get the Not Your Mother’s Clean Freak Refreshing Dry Shampoo at most stores. I got mine at Target this last time but before that I even bought it at Vons! The best part is that it’s only $4.79!
