These pumps. OB-SESSED. I can't even tell you how long I've been looking for a pair of blue suede pumps and I finally found, in my opinion, the perfect pair. While they may look a little different on your monitor, they are the prettiest cobalt blue, ever. The suede is so soft and I love the instep cutout on the inner sides. Beauties, I tell ya.
You may notice that in some of these photos, my shirt is half tucked and in the others, it's tucked in. I couldn't make up my mind so I kind of switched it up throughout the day, to be honest. Weird? Whatevs. It just shows that one little switch can make all the difference! Tucked in >> more polished for work [jean Friday!]. Half untucked >> you're ready to sip some champs after work [yay, you don't have to see your coworkers 'til Monday! JK ;D].
Btw, these jeans are from Target and I'm pretty impressed. I bought them in my usual size but I probably should've gotten a size smaller. I tried shrinking them but it didn't work. The waist [and butt] may be a little big but I still love the fit. Jeremy eyed them saying, "These look a little bigger than most of your jeans... is this what would be considered boyfriend jeans?" Lol. I'm questioning if there are any guys who actually like the boyfriend fit on a lady.

Living
in Illinois, the weather is anything but predictable, so planning
outfits a week in advance just isn't realistic... which constantly results in me throwing an outfit together last minute. I don't know about you, but the last thing I need when I'm in a hurry, better let me rephrase: already running behind schedule, is falling in a style rut and not being able to find anything to wear. Let's face it, I have plenty of clothes, but there are days when I absolutely cannot think of anything to put together! That's where StyleUp comes in. If you haven't heard of it yet, you need to check it out!
StyleUp is a completely free service that emails you daily outfit inspiration photos [Monday through Friday] that match your location's weather.
Upon signing up, you will complete a brief Style Survey so StyleUp can send you looks that match your taste. You can sign up to receive one email a day, or none, but where's the fun in that? I choose to receive mine the night before at 9PM so I can get a head start on planning [in my head, of course], but the other options are midnight, 3AM, or 6AM on the morning of. Along with the photo, StyleUp includes your local weather and suggests ways to recreate the look. You can then rate the photo which helps StyleUp to match you with looks that suit your style! Save time on getting dressed and informs you of the forecast? It's a win win.
I always look forward to Spring after a long Winter, not only because of the warmer weather, but because you can finally bust your heels out without the fear of busting your ass! Spring is also the most perfect time of the year when it comes to throwing an outfit on in a hurry. Anything goes. My go-to outfit this past week has been boyfriend jeans and heels, which I'm sure you've noticed. I bought these heels at Zara a year or so ago and just love them to pieces. I found a super affordable version at Windsor for only $27! I'm thinking I definitely need the taupe pair... FYI, if you're going to order them, I'm not sure if the fit of the Windsor heel fits the same as my Zara heels but I feel that I could have probably ordered 1/2 a size down.
