Kentucky Gameday Outfit

October 12, 2016

I mentioned meeting up with Tif in Monday’s post and sure enough she’s popping up again on the blog 🙂 We’ve teamed up to show you two different Kentucky gameday looks as a way of celebrating the fact that Big Blue Madness is this Friday!  Check out her look here. I’m pretty pumped to head over to Lexington, Friday after work with my friend Lindsey to take in the festivities.  Midnight Madness in Kentucky is kind of like a state holiday.

Red Scalloped Mini Skirt

August 17, 2016

They say the first step is admitting you have a problem so here we go. My name is Nicole and I am obsessed with the Olympics. It doesn’t matter if I have somewhere to be at 8 am the next day, I will stay up until midnight to finish watching swimming, gymnastics, track and field, basketball, etc.

And let’s be honest, when it comes to events that only happen every four years — this one is the top dog. We deserve the Summer Olympics if we have to deal with everyone we know {and their mothers} expressing their political opinions on Facebook.

check out these great new arrivals from SheIn:

Red Scalloped Skirt

Summer always means lots of red, white and blue outfits and the Olympic games being here just means the outfits are even more justified.  This scalloped mini skirt sits at the waist, has pockets and has super cute brass buttons down the front.  It also comes in navy and olive that are perfect for fall.  I find J Crew Factory sizing to run big.

I love the pairing ankle boots with skirts especially as we get closer to fall. When Caterpillar reached out to me about checking out their new additions for fall, I really wasn’t sure what to expect as I really knew them as a company that makes construction equipment.  The company also produces clothing and work boots and has expanded their footwear line to include more casual footwear for life without a tool belt.

I picked out this new style, the Olive Boot.  It’s available in four different colors, is made with genuine leather and features lace up detail around the back of the ankle.

Red Scalloped Skirt

I love tanks in the summer and always try to add some that are blouses instead of just the traditional knits so that I can look presentable and dressed up throughout the summer without melting and having to deal with pit stains {#theworst}.  My love for everything blue and white is well documented here so I won’t wax poetic about how much I love the blue and white vertical stripes, but I couldn’t get over how cute these red pom poms were.  When I was trying to decide how I wanted to style it first, I thought it would pair perfectly with my new scallop hem skirt.  To add the perfect, “Yes I have watched every day of the Olympics” touch, I also tied my red bandana in my hair for some Rosie the Riveter vibes.

Where Nicole Went: 7 Items, 9 Outfits

January 20, 2016

It’s Wednesday, it’s snowing and the roads are bad here so let’s talk about something a bit more exciting, like me going to warm{er} weather next week!

I try to travel with just a carry on and “purse” when possible to give myself room to bring things back, pack gifts at times, and have extra room for medicine, beauty products, chargers, etc. I’ve been on quite a few trips in the past year and have come home every single time with more than I left with.

Where Nicole Went: 7 Items, 9 Outfits

I always get very excited (and a little worked up) for a trip, so I’ve found it super useful to use packing lists to ensure I don’t forget any essentials and can look everything over leading up to my trip. I love this one from Jenny over at Traveling Chic! She has two different, printable packing lists that are available for free download, but if these aren’t up your alley there are hundreds upon hundreds of options to find through Pinterest.

Burgundy Blazer

December 21, 2015

When I was little, my mom would buy me a Christmas dress every year. Once I became a teenager, this stopped and we became more of a “jeans on Christmas” kind of family. This week, I wanted to show a couple different casual outfits for spending time with family as well as my Christmas Eve outfit; my family started going out to dinner on Christmas Eve about five years ago and so this is usually when everyone gets a little more dressed up.

What Nicole Wore: Burgundy Blazer
shop the post: burgundy blazer {thrift find, similar | also seen here} + striped & sequined shirt {also seen here} + blue skinny jeans + cognac tall boots {similar} + toasted eye shadow from this palette + foundation + blush + highlighter in opal + eyebrow filler + setting powder + setting spray + lip color in shade snog {over this}

This shirt immediately jumped out at me; I love the combination of stripes and sequins. As I’ve mentioned before, I have found that the sequins on my inner arms and sides can catch on each other so wearing it with a blazer was an easy way to avoid this problem.
What Nicole Wore: Burgundy Blazer

{How cute are these reindeer gift tags from Hobby Lobby?} I have a big love-hate relationship with blazers. I like them to be more fitted and less boxy; I’m pear shaped so looking like a long rectangle really does nothing for me. I thrifted this one earlier this year, thinking that for $5, it could be altered if I wanted. I never did get it tailored and have grown to love the boxy fit and that it’s machine washable, which is so rare with blazers. The burgundy color is different in that it’s not the navy or black I’d usually immediately go for, but it still matches well with most items. I chose this one for this outfit, because I like that the burgundy subtly adds some Christmas color without being over the top (which I do like at times, to be fair.)What Nicole Wore: Burgundy Blazer

This outfit is one I would actually wear to Christmas with my family because of the simplicity and fun touch with the sequins.  I opted for a red lip to bring in a some more subtle festive vibes and a pretty rose gold eye shadow from my very favorite eye shadow palette. I have a few now and can honestly say that the Naked palette is still the one I end up reaching for first. While it’s a bit pricy, it is included in Ulta‘s 20% off sale for rewards members right now making it $43. These palettes only get included in this sale ~twice a year so it’s a good time to purchase and think about other pricy makeup items you may be considering. I grabbed this highlighter while I was in line last week so that I could finally see what all the fuss was about and I love it.

Pink Plaid Blanket Scarf

December 11, 2015

How is it already Friday?! Feeling mildly stressed as I sit here enjoying my favorite wine and cheese pairing (pink moscato and queso #itcounts) and thinking about the people still on my Christmas list. Tis the season, y’all. I’m super stoked, though, to be done with Secret Santa shopping and to start some wrapping this weekend.
