Boyfriend Jeans

by ccandela | April 30, 2012 | posted in we wear

We’re back from Savvanah, GA and what a charming city it was. Keep an eye out for Cat’s recap of our wonderful mini-vacay later this week.

Now, onto the outfit. Yes, these are boyfriend jeans, but the “boyfriend” part of this title really refers to my boyfriend. Frank bought me almost all the accessories I’m wearing with this outfit (Not to mention, I’m in his apartment too) He gave me this bag on Valentine’s day and he gave me these shoes as a thank you for helping him clean his apartment. Isn’t he so sweet? I would have done it for nothing, but I was VERY grateful for these gorgeous and edgy little guys.

Hope you all have a great week!

xoxo,

Wear to the Office – Chambray and Lace

by ccandela | April 26, 2012 | posted in we wear

I’ve been on the hunt for a chambray button down top for at least a year. Well, contrary to what this photo may lead you to believe, I still haven’t found one. But the other day while I was at TJ Maxx I found this amazing lace skirt with a coral underlay. I desperately wanted to wear it during one of the warm days last week and I needed a chambray top to pair with it – so I improvised. What you see here is not a shirt, it’s actually a belted dress that I bought several years ago at Annie Sez. I just tucked in the belt loops, added a neutral belt and shoes and went on my merry way. I really love this combo of lace and chambray and can’t wait to add a pair of lace shorts to my wardrobe for non-work attire. What do you think of lace and chambray?

Trend of the Month Challenge – Florals

by ccandela | April 25, 2012 | posted in we wear

I’m so excited to participate in Marionberry Style’s Trend of the Month challenge. This month’s challenge is florals. I decided to bring two trends together, hi-low skirt and florals. I initially tried this dress with a couple of belts, but something just didn’t look right. I took them off and I realized that the dress looked great just as is. I guess sometimes less is more.

Make sure you stop by Marion’s blog to see other bloggers that participated on this challenge. Plus be sure to visit frequently. She has amazing style and is incredibly sweet.
