I am not just an acquaintance to color, I am a color LOVER. 

The brighter and bolder the better, and it's a full package when it's compiled into an ultra feminine piece-a color pop piece if you will. 

Although this is what I enjoy, I understand that not everyone is comfortable wearing strong shades. Colors can be very intimidating, so I thought I would give advice on how to pair separate colorful elements into a stylish outfit. 

First: choose one piece to be the focus. 

For this outfit, I chose this yellow and white color blocked dress. This allows you to simplify your options. 

From there you can move on and find one accessory that incorporates that main color. 

For this step, I matched my multi-colored floral heels, which have yellow in them. 

Finally: take a 2nd accessory that has colors that were in the 1st accessory. 

This chunky necklace from Kohl's has blue, orange and yellow in it, which are also in the heels.

Although you don't have to stop at 2 accessories, it is usually a good rule of thumb. You don't want to get carried away and overdo the colorful accessories.

And there you have it! A perfectly colorful outfit!

Have you ever payed attention to an ad promoting summer wear? Who is in that add? Where are they? What are they wearing?

Answer: Skinny young girls pretending to drink slushies wearing crop tops and shorts on a sunny day at the beach.

Although that may be a summer day in Cali, that is not always the case here in MN. We have overcast, rainy days that (although not freezing like in the winters) are still brisk. So for this post, I created a look that is perfect for cool days. 

Also, in an effort to be more conscious about clothing I'm buying and not being a fast fashion consumer, I created this look with pieces I already had! 

To start out, I wore this grey cardigan and jeans (cardigan I've had for a while, never blogged it before though; jeans seen here, here and here) to keep me warm and add extra protection for my skin (I recently found out that some of your worst sun burns happen on overcast days because people don't protect their skin with the "lack of sunshine"). I wanted to throw in a fun piece, thus the tank top (seen here).

To finish the outfit, I added these metallic shoes, blush bag and Michael Kors wristband (shoes seen here, purse seen here, and MK wristband seen here).

Hello Lovelies!

Summer is in full bloom (see what I did there?) and so are florals!

Everywhere I look there's a pop of bright color and to say I love this trend would be an understatement.

While in Davenport, Iowa this last weekend visiting family, I stopped into one of my favorite shops Charming Charlie and found this orange and purple floral dress. 

It encompasses the shape/style of a basic shift dress, but has an added pop of color. 

Paired with open toe, low heeled brown sandals and a blush colored over the shoulder bag, this sweet, easy summer outfit is complete!

As this semester comes to a close (and I cannot put into words how excited I am for it to end), people will begin their new summer jobs - or possibly even full time jobs for those of you graduating - and need to consolidate a wardrobe that is less campus and more classy. 

As my professional wardrobe has grown, I've learned a few lessons I would like to share:

1. If you want to wear heels, only wear ones you can comfortably live in all day. One of the joys of ballet flats being in fashion (and even some upscale sneakers!) is that you can be on your feet all day without feeling like you've been on your feet all day. The nude colored heels I'm wearing in this photo have always been one of my favorites (right next to the pink ones in the exact same style). They're from the Comfort Plus line by Payless and they are a great choice for heeled footwear.
