Stripes and Polka Dots

Wallis Fashion invited me to participate in their Summer Style Contest! For those of you who haven't heard of Wallis they are a UK aspirational, premium high street brand with the most adorable clothing.  Wallis has finally branched out online to the United States and is now offering their complete selection of apparel, accessories, and shoes. 

I picked out a few items to style, one of which was this striped blazer. I chose this blazer because it's so versatile and I can mix and match it with almost all of my staple wardrobe pieces. I've been a big fan of simple white and black outfits lately and I think women of all different ages and sizes can pull of this look. 

I always feel a bit awkward asking for votes but if you could just take a minute of your time and give me your vote I would appreciate it! The contest began on Monday and I'm the loser with only one vote thus far so I'm really easy to find ;P You can vote for me HERE (once every hour until the competition is over). If you don't want to vote for me, no hard feelings! 

What I wore: Blazer, c/o Wallis// Shirt, Rue 21 (sold out online)// Skirt, F21// Bow, F21// Shoes, c/o Lulus (similar here)

Fuchsia Wolf Sweater and Burnt Orange Vest

Towards the end of May there were a couple of random chilly days before the summer heat officially kicked in. I wouldn't be caught dead in a sweater in 90-100 degree heat, but for this particular breezy evening, this outfit was perfect. Would you believe me if I told you I snagged this sweater off of the clearance rack at Kohls for $2.80? Yeah that's right, $2.80 for a brand new sweater. Sometimes shopping clearance racks is just as exciting as finding a good thrift find (;

I decided to layer my sweater with a burnt orange vest, which made the outfit more colorful and fun. I haven't worn jeans in a while since my pre-pregnancy jeans still don't button up so I ended up buying some new ones and I have been wearing them practically everyday since. I highly recommend the 'rockstar' fit jeans from Old Navy for anyone who is looking for a good pair of reasonably priced jeans.

What I wore: Sweater, Kohls// Vest, Forever 21(old)// Jeans, Old Navy// Sandals, Target (sold out online)// Bangles, Vintage (belonged to my Grandma Carol)
What Z wore: Shirt, Carters (sold out online)// Jeans, OshKosh// Shoes, Vans
