I'm surprised it's taken me this long to jump on the "distressed boyfriend jeans" train. I see them pop up on fashion blogs and the "street style" section of magazines all the time and always think to myself how much I like how they look, but it was one of those trends I was hesitant to try myself. My go-to jeans style has always been the "skinny jeans", occasionally mixing things up with my "flare jeans". I can already tell though that I'm going to be looking for an excuse to wear these jeans A LOT. I love the versatility of how they can be styled, plus they really are comfortable! My favorite way to style them so far is contrasting the distressed, edgy feel of the jeans with "dressed up" accents like a lace-collared blouse and a pair of strappy heels.

Thanks for stopping by! Inconsistent Oklahoma weather plus crazy schedules between my husband and I put a delay on posts for the past month, but I'm working to get back into a more consistent posting schedule! Have a great day!

Sleek Chic

This outfit is one of my favorites from recent posts. There's honestly nothing too exciting about each piece individually, but pulled together with a sleek ponytail, coordinating lip/nail/shoe color, plus a few key accessories, and the overall look comes off polished, sleek and chic. 

Yesterday was my 24th birthday, and I'm still overwhelmed by all of the love from my husband, family and friends! Every birthday feels like the birth of a new season, but this particular birthday has brought that feeling stronger than ever. I'm still processing all of the goals and dreams God is stirring in my heart for this year but hopefully I'll be able to share more in the coming weeks! 

As always, thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your Monday!

Here's some "peplum & polka dot" inspiration for Labor Day! I hope everyone can enjoy a relaxing day off! Oh, and if you're looking to add some fashionable pieces at affordable prices to your fall wardrobe, I highly recommend checking out Target. I'm SUPER impressed with their fall line right now.

Little Black Dress {summer edition}

The "little black dress" {LBD} - a classic & must-have for every girl's wardrobe. My favorite thing about LBDs is the variety of ways to style them! Summer + being in Mexico inspired me to add pops of orange to my LBD for this particular look. Once again, you'll notice the versatile white clutch from previous posts from the honeymoon (here, here & here).

style tip || Choosing accessories in similar shades help create instant outfits on neutral canvases {ex: a LBD}.

hair tip || When you want to highlight a necklace &/or neckline, go with a ponytail. For a sleek look, add volume on the crown, creating almost a faux-hawk, & wrap a strand of hair around the elastic.

 Happy Monday! :)
