It’s a Plaid, Plaid World

March 9, 2016

Writing this while watching basketball on League Pass {as always} and sipping on my new favorite tea, Peach Melba. While I’m so happy for warmer weather, my allergies are less than thrilled. I’m trying to be optimistic and convince myself that it’s actually just from the dust at work still….I’ll let you know how that wishful thinking goes.

I’ve talked about my love for my denim vest before, but just wanted to share once again how big of a wardrobe staple it is for me. During the warmer months, I seem to rotate back and forth between my denim vest and my utility vest. Both are super versatile, easy to tuck away and great pieces during the transition between seasons.

It was pretty much love at first sight with this black shirt from SheIn; I mean hello???? a plaid layer in the back and plaid elbow patches? Sold! I would highly recommend sizing up in this top; I ordered a small and the first time I went to put it on, for these photos, realized that it was seriously tight. Had I sized up to a medium, the placement of the elbow patches would be more of what I envisioned, the low layer in the back would be a little more flowy and overall I’d have more of the tunic look I expected. Size consistency is one thing that can get you when shopping through SheIn so make sure to check the measurements of every item as a small is not always the same small you ordered last month.

Current SheIn Favorites:

The Eiffel Tower detailing on the back of that white top is seriously swoon worthy.

I love the bright red plaid and immediately knew I wanted to pair it with blue or white denim….so I went with both options here. I love how my denim vest looks against the black tee; definitely something I see myself coming back to in the future.

Olive You Always

February 22, 2016

Cheers to a new week! I enjoyed one too many Pina Coladas while out at dinner this weekend {oops}, but luckily was able to pull myself together Sunday morning. I also slammed my hand in the door Saturday morning, which led to me indulging in said Pina Coladas.

What Nicole Wore: Olive You Always
shop the post: olive tunic c/o shein {under $15} + white cami {similar} + ny and company black cropped pants {similar} + black scalloped flats {similar here also} + black druzy necklace + fieldcrest wood watch c/o jord wood watches + nail polish + maybelline fit me foundation {in coconut} c/o influenster {I blended it with this foundation to get a closer match to my skin tone} + bronzer {to contour} + blush + eye shadow + eyebrow filler + mascara + liquid eyeliner + blue eyeliner {on waterline only}
Influenster sent me one of the new shades of Maybelline’s Fit Me Foundation in matte; I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to face makeup due to the fact that it’s always super hard for me to find a match. This one is too dark and a little more orange than I liked, but I was able to blend it with the liquid foundation I’ve been using and have it look a bit more natural. The formula was very runny which I’m not a fan of, but I think if I were to continue experimenting with the new shades, I could probably find a closer match. This foundation did last me over twelve hours and stayed matte.

Okay, let’s talk about this tunic; it’s $14, the perfect shade of olive green, lightweight and slightly longer in the back. The neckline is flattering and has a little dip without going too low. I like the look {and calmed nerves} of having a cami underneath, but you could go without too. I paired my tunic with my black work pants {I swear by the NY & Co clearance racks}, but I can’t wait to wear it with my white jeans or some distressed blue jeans for a more casual look.  What Nicole Wore: Olive You Always

I also wore my Fieldcrest watch to add onto the classic color vibes. I love the light wood and how feminine it looks while also maintaining the ability to go with just about anything in my closet.  My watch came already sized which is a major plus in my book since I have baby wrists that tend to be way too small for lots of watches.

Double Hooded

February 17, 2016

Currently listening to: Travis Garland’s cover of Love Yourself from the latest Bieber album. Seriously swoon worthy!  What are some of your favorite cover artists?

What Nicole Wore: Double Hooded
shop the post: yellow beanie c/o modern and chic {also seen here} + striped sweatshirt c/o shein + blue skinny jeans + hunter boots {sized down to a 7} + stella and dot gold ring {also seen here} + nail polish + foundation + eyebrow filler + mascara + red lip {I filled in my lips with a nude liner to get a little extra staying power & keep the color from “running”} + blush
Serious confession time — I’ve been pretty much living in this sweatshirt since I got it last week. My friend Savannah actually called me out about it when we went out for drinks over the weekend which means that I’ve probably been overwearing it, oops.  I feel pretty sorry not sorry about the whole thing because it’s just SO easy to throw on. Example: when my friends called me to see if I wanted to grab drinks, I was definitely still wearing lazy clothes. I threw on this outfit (sans beanie) with my go to red lip (only $6) and went from looking like a bum to a put together person.
What Nicole Wore: Double Hooded

Aside from being super comfy, I love that I don’t look like a huge slob in it like I do in most of my favorite comfs. While I love being dressed up, if you came to my house I’m almost always in sweatpants/leggings and a sweatshirt so finding a sweatshirt that is socially acceptable to wear outside of my house, to work and out to dinner and drinks is a huge win for me. At $18 with free shipping, it’s a total steal. I sized up to a small and find the fit comfortable, but if you want to wear this over anything bulkier than a tank top, I’d suggest going up two sizes.

SheIn has some really great comfy but cute pieces out right now that I’m crushing on all for under $20:

The double hooded and zipper detailing is super cute, it does come with strings to tighten (or loosen) the hood, but keeping them even drives me crazy so I just pulled mine out.  It also looks super cute with leggings!

GlamourTine’s Day

February 12, 2016

Y’all, what a week! I started a new job, tried to get back onto EST {still not there #hatemyself}, forgot about the sorority meeting I was advising {#hatemyself part 2}, and froze my tail off taking these pictures. Being such a crazy week, actual blogging got a little left behind, but I’m super excited about some of the things coming soon to What Nicole Wore!

P.S. wanna stay in the loop? Go give my Facebook page a like! 🙂

What Nicole Wore: GlamourTine's Day
shop the post: prada sunglasses c/o shop ditto {use code whatnicolewore to try a month of designer sunglass rentals for free!} + red plaid shirt {old, similar | also seen here} + j crew factory sequin tee {thrift find | also seen here} + black linen-cotton mini skirt c/o thredUP {on sale in different colors} + patterned tights + cognac riding boots {nordstrom rack find, similar on sale | also seen here} + michael kors watch + nail polish + foundation + blush {my very favorite!} + mascara + setting spray
I’ve wanted one of these skirts for forever; they’re super cute and go with a lot since they come in all kinds of solid colors, but every time I’d order one, the sizing would be way off and the skirt would look horrible on me.  I ordered this one {brand new with tags for just $11.99!} from ThredUP and figured if it didn’t work, I could send it back and use the credit towards something else, but sizing way down turned out to be the way to go. I love the elastic waist on these skirts and know I’ll get a ton of wear out of them.

ThredUP is an online consignment store that buys and sells gently used and brand new items. You can request a bag from them, fill it up with your no longer wanted items and send it in where they’ll evaluate each piece before giving you a total. Buying from them is super easy and something I had actually done before they reached out to me.  Want to try it out? Sign up here and you’ll get a $10 credit to start your shopping with, no strings attached!

I wanted to wear something super festive to kick off Valentine’s Day, so I grabbed my trusty sequin tee from J. Crew Factory, another awesome thrift find, and pulled it over my favorite red plaid button down.  What Nicole Wore: GlamourTine's Day

I wanted to play around with texture and pattern so I paired my skirt with these grid print tights that I grabbed on super clearance from Old Navy {only 1.97} , my riding boots and my favorite watch. Lack of sleep led me to reach towards my statement sunglasses.
What Nicole Wore: GlamourTine's Day

The bags under my eyes are never designer, but the good news is my sunglasses are! 😉 Have you heard of Shop Ditto? Think Netflix, just with designer eyewear. For $24 a month, you can swap out designer sunglasses as frequently as you wish from brands like Ray Ban, Dolce & Gabbana, Karen Walker, Dior, Prada and more. Ditto also has rental plans if you want to do prescription sunglasses or glasses too.

This is my first pair and I’m in love; you can try a free month with code WHATNICOLEWORE right now with the option to cancel at any time.  Now if I could just decide which pair to put next on my wish list.
What Nicole Wore: GlamourTine's Day

I hope however you may celebrate Valentine’s Day, with family, friends or a significant other, that you know how loved you are (and indulge in sweet treats!)

Pretty in Pink

February 1, 2016

I’ve told you guys before how much I hate winter; my opinion hasn’t changed, but I will say that snow is at least pretty.

It’s also hella cold, so yes this was the first snow of the season and yes I’m already one hundred percent over all things winter, below freezing, snow covered, etc.

What Nicole Wore: Pretty in Pink
shop the post: pink lapel coat with pockets c/o shein {on sale for $25!} + turquoise plaid shirt via francesca’s {similar | also seen here} + cable knit sweater {also seen here} + blue skinny jeans {over cold gear leggings} + boot socks c/o modern and chic boutique {also seen here} + hunter boots + foundation + highlighter + eyebrow filler + mascara + blush + eye shadow + bronzer + nail polish + liquid lipstick {in macbeth}

What Nicole Wore: Pretty in PinkWhile taking these pictures, I realized that I desperately need to pick up some Hunter socks since regular socks just aren’t warm enough with the snow.

What Nicole Wore: Pretty in PinkI thought this navy and teal flannel was perfect to go with my light pink coat with the small pink stripe that’s in the plaid. To stay warm, I pulled layered my favorite cable knit sweater over the plaid.

What Nicole Wore: Pretty in Pink I love the longer length and cape like collar of this coat from SheIn, the first thing that pulled me in about it was the gorgeous color. I’m not usually a huge pink person but love sporting brights and pastels during the cold, dark and dreary months.
