2 Ways to Wear Stripes and Florals

2 Ways to Wear Stripes and Florals

Style Roundup: Buffalo Check Shirt

Style Roundup: Buffalo Check Shirt

I love my buffalo check shirt! It makes me think of cozy days sipping hot chocolate by the fire in a (luxury) cabin in the (not-too-deep, just a little off the main road…and near a city) woods. I’ve never actually done that – it’s on the list! – but that […]

Railroad Stripes and Lace

Railroad Stripes and Lace

Navy is my favorite color (followed by gray… very exciting, I know), and because I actually like an Americana-inspired color palette, it’s pretty common for me to be in red, white, and blue even apart from the holidays. There’s a lot going on here, texture- and print-wise, and I think […]

Checks and DIY Denim Cutoffs

I’ve mentioned my t-shirt issues before, but all that went out the window when I saw the print on this tee, a literal take on nautical style: architectural drawings of sailboats! I couldn’t happy dance to the register fast enough 🙂 This is the “before” pic of the washed-and-shrunk-in-the-dryer-one-time-too-many, extra old Banana […]

3 Ways to Dress Up a Camo Tee

This camo tee – and the big “SALE: $4” sign above it – literally stopped me in my tracks as I was sprinting through Target*, taking a shortcut through the boys’ department. The slightly cropped, fitted cut perfectly balances the masculine print, making it easy to dress up or down. […]

Argyle and Stripes

Argyle and Stripes

Although I usually avoid wearing black and orange together (you know, the whole not wanting to look like a jack o’lantern thing),  I think the fact that this is a bright, hot tangerine-y orange gives me a pass. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it 🙂 Blazer: Ralph Lauren […]
