This particular throwback needed a MAJOR update. The original, while a good concept, did not work. The jeans were too baggy and the boots did nothing to help that fact. And since this sweater is an extra large I needed everything else to be form-fitting to offset the oversized look up top. I also don't have the original jeans or boots anymore. (I might have the jeans saved in a box because they w
{throwback outfit} Revisiting June 16 2011
One of the great things about this sweater is it's so thin you can wear it even when it's really warm out. Unfortunately that wasn't the case the day I wore it. It was rainy and on the chillier side. All items are the same, except for the jeans. Tank: Forever 21, Sweater: Tahari (Marshalls), Jeans: Free People, Flats: Chaps (Kohl's) The Original:

{outfit} Light Layers
Slightly warmer weather is the perfect opportunity to wear thin layers, like this pretty Tahari sweater. It is super thin and super soft but once we hit the super cold temperatures I find myself wearing it less and less in favor of my chunkier knits. I wore this to hang out at my Grandmother's house over the weekend. Cardigan: Tahari (TJ Maxx) , Tee: Cullen (Rue La La), Jeans: Michael Kors (Mars

{outfit} One Last Outfit
Here it is, my last outfit post of 2014! Wow, can't believe it...can you? The title is a play on The Hobbit's final movie hashtag: #OneLastTime. Are you guys Middle Earth fans? Some of you will know that Lord of the Rings is my favorite film series (yes, even more than Harry Potter, books are my jam there) so this last journey to Middle Earth was a particularly bittersweet one. I went with my fri

{outfit} Repeat Offender
In contrast to yesterday's post, where I didn't want to wear all black, here's a black outfit! As you can see, my mood changes on the day. This is an outfit I find myself wearing over and over again because it's so easy. Some people don't like repeating outfits, I say why not?! If you like it, wear it again. Most people won't notice, and if they do, who cares? I just love how the sweater barely

{outfit} Mandolin Rain
Here is one of my typical weekend looks (minus the wedges): sweater, jeans, ponytail and no makeup. I don't generally wear much makeup every day, but on the weekends I'm usually far too lazy to take the 5 minutes to put on blush, eyeshadow, mascara and lipstick. It's good for you to give your skin a break from time to time anyway. I wore this on Sunday where we had a little bit of rain, b

{outfits} This Week in Fashion
Friday again! This week actually went by pretty quickly, which I am glad of. I've been super tired lately and waking up at 5:30 wasn't helping the situation. Thankfully I was able to stay home yesterday too so I caught up on a little more sleep since I was able to sleep until 9. But now I can have a nice, relaxing weekend! So far no plans, I'll probably catch up on all the old movies I have

{outfit} Lounging Around
On my last trip to Marshalls (when I was shopping for my brownies post) I came across an amazingly soft Max Studio blanket. At only $20, I had to have it. I walked by the pajama section and spotted a maroon pj set by Tahari that was also super soft and once again was only $20. I haven't bought a pajama set in years, I usually just wear an old tshirt (or one of my brothers' old s

{outfits} This Week in Fashion
Welcome to the first This Week in Fashion post of 2013! It's a quick one today because I only went into the office Wednesday and Thursday (I work from home on Friday's now.) I had a different outfit planned for Thursday, but it has been FREEZING (outside and in the office) so I decided to wait until next week when it will be warmer. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend planned. I'm not

{outfits} This Week in Fashion
Things are slowly getting back to normal in Meganville. I went into work every day this week and my house is almost ready to be lived in again so my roommate and I will be reunited soon! I've been going through withdrawls. But things are getting back to normal just in time for things to go crazy again. We are entering the holiday season so there will be tons of family gatherings and o

{blogger meetup} Girls + Food + Shopping
This past Sunday I went to another blogger meetup, this time with Lydia, Courtney and Christine! I had already met Lydia and Courtney but this was my first meeting with Christine and she is awesome! We met up in Milford at Stonebridge Restaurant (which is literally 5 minutes from my house) for brunch. I had a delicious plate of French toast and the other girls had some form of eggs. After w
