Today I’ve got one of my most favorite (relatively) new bloggers, Katie from {Out + Outfit} filling in for me. Katie is a fellow UK gal living it up in Cincinnati. I love her blog because not only is she always rocking a seriously cute, laid-back look but she also posts some snaps from delicious Cincy eateries along with pics of her friends looking great. Hope you all have enjoyed the week of new faces (and styles), I’ll be  back to a somewhat regular posting schedule on Monday!

I am so flattered to be asked by Danielle to fill in for the day while she is off squeezing the sweet bejeezus out of her new daughter’s cheeks. I know that’s what I would be doing if I were in her shoes.

And as a means of introducing myself to you all, I simply want to share some of my favorite looks and styles so that you can get a feel for what I’m serving up over in my neck of the interweb woods.

look #1 – the uniform

A button down with jeans is my one million percent go-to. I have quite the ROY G BIV oxford collection in my closest and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. The one I am sporting here is one of a few short sleeve versions, but I have a feeling it will be an everlasting presence in my wardrobe.

look #2 – the dream

I recently had an opportunity to peruse Saks Fifth Avenue and style some looks. This one was my absolute favorite. While each piece is the high-end version, this is exactly the kind of look I salivate over – a silk printed blouse with billowy sleeves,​ some dark flared denim, and a gorgeous designer clutch.​
So feminine and so flattering.

look #3 – the statement necklaces (plural)
​
Once I started layering statement necklaces, I never went back. I am now incapable of wearing just one statement necklace. When I pull out only one, I feel bland. I have to add a chain link and a tab string in order to feel complete.

look #4 – the print mixing

I’m a teacher and my students know I love clothes and they often ask me what my favorite color is. I always answer polka dots paired with another pattern. Dots and stripes make my little heart go pitter-patter.

​
look #5 – the chambray​

I hope chambray never goes out of style. I’m pretty committed to the look because it just always, without fail, works. Dressed up, dressed down, tied around your waist, you literally cannot go wrong.

​T​hanks so much for letting me pop in today and introduce myself!
​Stop by and say hi sometime​!
