Three Ways to Wear Plaid for the Holidays

With Christmas just days away, the holiday season is in full swing! I LOVE anything and everything to do with Christmas. I also love any excuse to dress festive! Plaid shirts are a winter staple that are perfect to dress up or down. Today I have put together three different ways to style the perfect holiday shirt.

I love, love, love this plaid shirt. It has just the right amount of red to make it feel festive, while also still being perfectly fine to wear any other time of the year. I love pairing it with navy blue corduroys and riding boots for a laid-back look perfect for holiday events. It's a super simple and easy combination, while still being adorable!

I love tying a bow in my hair for an extra pop of red. This ribbon helps pull the look together while giving it a fun touch!

This Forever 21 Necklace has been a great purchase. It goes with everything and is a great addition if you are looking to dress up an outfit.

All I did to change up this look was throw a simple white cable-knit sweater over the plaid. I made sure to pull out the collars and roll up the cuffs over the sweater to make sure the plaid popped through.

Throwing a sweater over a basic shirt is a great way to spice up an outfit. It's also the perfect way to add some extra warmth if you're going to be walking around outside.

I kept this look super simple by just adding a vest. It's a great way to add an extra layer. Paired with a red Starbucks drink, you'll be looking as festive as ever!

This red vest is perfect for any occasion. It's a great staple piece that I get so much use out of. In this outfit I love how the red vest brings out the color in the shirt. The gold accents on the pockets are a perfect way to add a touch of class to any look.

One Skirt: Four Ways

Francesca's is a dangerous store for me to go in to. Over spring break I went into Francesca's to just try on a possible graduation dress and ended up with a dress, skirt, and top- oops! Needless to say, I'm kind of obsessed with this skirt- it's so pretty and feminine! I love the colors and how easy it is to style. In today's post I will be sharing four ways to style this skirt. I am just obsessed with this skirt! The floral detailing is so pretty and feminine. Honestly I felt like it was a little out of my traditional comfort zone, but I decided to go for it! This tank is one of the tops I walked out of Francesca's with. The pink matched the colors in the skirt too perfectly to pass up! I purchased this lace top from LOFT last spring and I have found SO many different ways to style it! It pairs so nicely with this skirt and you can wear it tucked in or out-whatever best fits your preference. I personally like to tu

The Perfect Autumn Cape

Last year I hopped on the cape bandwagon, and I am so glad I did. Similar to blanket scarves, they are just like socially acceptable blankets. An added bonus is that they are super cute too! I saw a red and black buffalo checked cape in a picture last fall and searched all winter for a look-alike! Finally, a few weeks ago at Walmart, of all places, I spotted this one! I scored it for under $15 and was a happy girl! Here's how I styled it and how you can get the look! I started by layering the cape with a simple white shirt to brighten up the outfit. Between the warmth of the shirt underneath and the cape itself, this look was perfect for a gorgeous fall day. I paired the tops with my go-to American Eagle jeans, to keep the outfit simple and comfortable. Since I am so short, a lot of material can easily swallow me up and create a very boxy shape. With this in mind, I added a simple tan belt around my waist to give the cape some shape. I was feeling extra excited

Shopping Tips, Tricks, and Rules

I’m sure it is no surprise to you, but I love shopping! And since I love shopping I have picked up a few tips and tricks to be able to shop and get the clothing I want, without breaking the bank. With spring break just around the corner and spring in sight, I thought I would pass on a list of some of the rules I follow while shopping, as well as some tips on how to save money! Personal Rules/Tips: 1. Think it through When I am shopping I have a rule for myself: I have to be able to put whatever I am considering buying with at least two different outfits. I do this so that I don’t buy something and only be able to wear it one way. I want to get the most out of my clothes and be able to wear them several different ways! I know that not everyone is able to just visualize an outfit, but I personally find it very helpful! 2. Try it on I know that I definitely sometimes don’t feel like trying everything on, but things can look so different on than they did on the han
