I decided to mix textures with this look by wearing lace, knits, & a chambray shirt together. I love the results! I’m wearing my new tank top I bought on Black Friday under an old chambray shirt & sweater, with some Banana Republic over-the-knee socks (folded down twice), my Tin Missy boots found [HERE], & a vintage watch.
Outfit of the Day
Wearing my new blanket scarf with a Forever 21 shirt & some old boots.
Nails of the Week
For these nails, I used manicure stickers to block off the base of my nails. Then used my pearl colored polish. Then I used a little silver glitter polish to paint a thin line above the pearl.
Christmas Outfit
For Christmas I am wearing a sweater dress I bought at a local boutique with a vintage necklace & Charlotte Russe loafers.
Christmas Eve
Marry Christmas everyone! I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday with family & friends.
I made a Mint Chocolate Trifle with my mom to bring to our family get together. You can find the recipe [HERE] but I’ll worn you, it took the two of us two hours Christmas Eve Eve to make & another hour Christmas Eve to assemble (also, we couldn’t find mint leaves this time of year).
Another super cute dessert there was some chocolate ornaments one of my aunt’s got at a grocery store (how cute right!).
I also opened up my Grandma gift last night, an Instax Mini 8!! Though, if you follow my Insta you probably saw that I tested it out a couple nights ago (my mom insisted so I’d know how to use it Christmas Eve). It was pretty fun using that last night.
Christmas Eve Outfit
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas Eve! Today I am wearing a Francesca’s sweater & necklace with Forever 21 blouse & my favorite ankle boots.
Outfit of the Day
I went to a beautiful Christmas concert Saturday night & wore my beaded Free People dress with a cropped sweater & my favorite ankle boots.
Nails of the Week
I decided to do some simple asymmetrical french tips for my holiday nails. I first used a sheer pinkish nude color. Then I used straight manicure stickers to paint on my black asymmetric french tips.
Outfit of the Day
I’m wearing a sweater from Tin Missy with my new blanket scarf from a local boutique & my favorite Charlotte Russe boots.
Outfit of the Day
Now that I’m about 80% done with finals it’s really starting to feel like Christmas, so I decide to have this outfit picture taken by some of our cute outdoor decorations (might have to do this again). Anyway, I’m wearing a new Forever 21 grey shirt & scarf with an old black skort from AE & Payless boots I haven’t worn in two years. I kind of forgot about these boots but love how they look with this outfit! Maybe I’ll stop wearing my black ankle boots with every single outfit & start to wear these more.
Outfit of the Day
I’ve been turning in some final projects this week & dressing up these slim pajama pants worked perfectly for a hectic day running on little sleep. It was so nice to wake up knowing I just had to throw on these comfy guys & my favorite Francesca’s sweater (& do my hair of course). Also, this look was inspired by @mystylediaries instagram post. Totally like twins, right? 😉
Nails of the Week
To do these plaid nails, I first painted my thumbs & middle fingers dark grey. Then painted my pointer & pinky fingers light grey. Then painted my ring fingers black. Next, I used Kiss Nail Art Paint (they have thin brushes) to do a plaid design on my pointer & pinky. You can use these in any order you like but I used black, then white, then silver. Lastly, I used top coat to apply diamond shaped nail decals to the rest of my nails.
