Affordable fashion & realistic life tips for the young, growing woman.

As we all know, or very easily may not have known, it's officially Fall. 'Tis the season for boots, sweaters, bonfires ... and 95 degree weather? If you're living in the south you know exactly ...

Stripes are definitely my favorite print for the season, for the year, and to be completely honest, for life. I don't know what it is about them, but I am going mad over any and everything that is striped in black and white. I'm thinking ...

Week three of my second to last year of college has come and gone, and I must say, it was better than week two. If you've read my first #CampusStyle post, then you know I started off a little rocky in one of my online classes. BUT ...

Let me start off by saying that I did NOT prepare myself for the new school year. I worked all summer and somehow came back to school broke. I made a 26% on my first assignment in one of my online classes. And to top it off, I missed ...

So yeah, there is a screaming cat on my shirt. I'm glad you noticed. Is it my cat? No, but it might as well be because my cat looks very similar. A good friend of mine actually got it for me back in high school and it's probably the greatest t-shirt I own. Not only ...

I'm typically not one to want to be matchy-matchy, but today was a little different. I planned this outfit a few days ahead of time, and something in me just wanted a cute little cross-body bag to match my shoes. I hate to say it, but accessories is definitely something ...

This Summer is dedicated to wearing ridiculously cute date night outfits and busting out the pairs of heels I've never worn. And believe me, it's a lot of them. Unfortunately, I'm that girl that buys shoes on impulse, not because I need them or actually ...

This look was very basic if we're being honest, but the good kind of basic. There isn't a lot going on, but the pop of burgundy and funky shoes adds just the right touches. I got this dress from Bealls Outlet for $13 I think. The color is what drew me in but the cutout in the back is what had me sold. Anything that allows me to show off my back tattoo has a 89% chance of becoming apart of my ...

For a project in one of my fashion related courses, we were instructed to create a lookbook with five distinct looks centered around trends in an upcoming season. I styled my looks with trends that I predicted would be popular this coming Fall. Since I already did a post called ...

As I said earlier, I really get a kick out of getting dolled up for formal events. So when I found out my Aunt and Uncle were having a formal party for their 25th anniversary I was elated. Not too long ago, I saw on some social network that a woman set up a GoFundMe because she was "transfinancial" and needed money to live ...

I literally had my eye on this dress ($18) for weeks before I actually bought it. It was one of those items that I wasn't really sure if I liked or not mainly because it's a turtleneck, and I haven't worn one of those since middle school. But in the end the print and shape of the dress honestly won me over. It's funny because I never would've worn something like this a few ...

Did I mention these jeans were only $10? I couldn't just order one pair for such a good price so I ordered the jet black pair along with the dark wash pair. Three pairs of jeans for $30 is the deal of a lifetime honestly. Most of the time you're not getting jeans for any cheaper than $25. Especially guys, y'all have it far worse ...

Everything I'm wearing is one of my favorites. I'm far from a sneaker person but I wear these Tommy Hilfiger ones faithfully. I got lucky and found them at Ross a few months ago and we've been inseparable ever since. The shoe itself isn't all that special, so I think the reason I had to have them was because of my mini collection ...

The awesome thing about fashion is that it's just a repeating cycle. Every trend that used to be a thing is sure to make a comeback in just a few decades. Lucky me, I have parents who were fashionable 20-somethings in the 90's so I just take their old clothes that are coming back into style. Not so much my mom, but my dad has quite a few articles of clothing that I ...

You ever had that one article of clothing or pair of shoes that you forget about, and once you rediscover it you feel like an important part of your life has been missing? Yeah, I can relate. I don't know how long I've had this peacoat but I'm hurting at the fact that it's been collecting dust in ...

Let me tell you guys a short story about my first encounter with a flannel. 'Twas fall of my senior year of high school and my boyfriend found this flannel on the ground and gave it to me. The end. I'm not even joking. To this day I wear that flannel faithfully. But I promise that's the only one I got from the ground. The others are all from ...

Normally when I'm going through the process of finding an outfit to wear, I try to go for the articles of clothing that I haven't worn in a while. I think it's more of an issue rather than a good thing because even when I haven't worn something for two months, this little voice in my head tells me that it's off limits. I feel like that's why I always ...

Alright, so I went to a party Saturday night and this outfit was the chosen one. I truly wish I would've waited to wear it for another occasion because it deserved to be seen by better people, but that's okay. All that matters is it was seen and I was definitely feeling myself. With that being said, the first thing I want to talk about is the cardigan that I put over the hoodie ...
