Pleats and Sequins

This is what I imagine Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz wearing if she time traveled to the present day. A long pleated skirt to keep it classy but paired with an attention grabbing crop top to bring out her edginess. Of course any modern day Dorothy would have to top the outfit off with sequined heels in case she needs to make a quick getaway. What do you think about the maxi skirt? Yay or nay for this season?

OUTFIT DETAILS: Target crop top, H&M maxi, DSW heels and H&M purse

So long 2013

I think by now everyone knows I can't say no to flannel so lets just say I was a little too excited when I paired double plaid together one morning. This shoot was a lot of fun! Primarily because I was so comfortable in this outfit. In fact it's taken me the entire year to realize that I am so much happier if I don't sweat the small stuff, and learn to be comfortable with who I am. I'm ready to say Hola to 2014 and work on all of my wishes. That's right - wishes not resolutions! No one ever seems to keep New Years resolutions, far too serious if you ask me. Wishes however are magical things! Enjoy tonight and stay safe, Happy New Year!

1 Vest, 3 Ways

The Holidays are a time for traveling, so when you're packing it's always good to use versatile pieces. I scored this Ann Taylor vest in their winter sale and can't stop wearing it! Here's just three ways out of the many that I have been styling it.

OUTFIT 1: H&M top, Ann Taylor vest, Topshop skirt, TJMaxx heels OUTFIT 2: H&M coat, Ann Taylor vest OUTFIT 3: H&M top, Ann Taylor vest, Levi's jeans, Target heels, Longchamp Bag

Polka Dots - Ladybug Style

I have to give credit to my daughter for finding this skirt. We were scouring the racks in H&M and I agreed to try it on more so to humor her than anything else - the length plus pleats had a princess appeal for her. I remember bursting into a fit of giggles with her in the dressing room as she asked me to twirl around and around until the skirt took on a life of its own. It was that moment I was sold! I guess the princess fantasy never really leaves...The built-in mini skirt underneath adds some edge to the overall look and the high waist finally allowed me to be a little adventurous and wear a cropped sweater. The polka dots give this outfit such a fun vibe!

OUTFIT DETAILS: Nordstrom Rack cropped top, H&M skirt, Target heels, BCBG Fox clutch

Ladylike Leather

It's hump day which means a good number of you are dreaming about the weekend. Ladylike leather with a fresh hemline helps you get weekend chic ready. If you are not in Cali where the sun always shines you may want to wear knee- high boots instead of flats. Flat riding boots will maintain the casual vibe. Have a great day!

OUTFIT: TJMaxx top, Halogen leather skirt, Francesca's statement necklace, H&M cigar shoes

On Monday's I Don't Care

On Monday's I usually try to channel the Brady Bunch and be extra chirpy, but sometimes this is just too much work. With that said I'm claiming this as my 'I don't care' outfit - checkers and leopard, enough said!

OUTFIT: Target cropped top, TJMaxx shirt, Levi's and H&M flats

Guess Who's Back?!

I've been going through a phase where although I still want to dress girly I also have this desire to be carefree and slouchy. Any shrink might say it's just an excuse to wear flannel once again - I can't help it...I'm obsessed! Tell me the truth - yay or nay to polka dots and flannel? xoxo Tasha

OUTFIT: H&M Flannel, Primemark dress, Steve Madden boots, Nordstrom stack rings

Print Overload

You may have read that bloggers have a style of their own. A style that defies all fashion rules, mixes multiple prints and screams look at me. I don't think I've ever reached that level but this outfit post did make me think of bloggerstyle. I rather enjoyed mixing the prints together, not to mention rocking the Big Sexy hair, thanks to my favorite Big Sexy hair products. My top three are the volumizing shampoo and conditioner, and the soy renewal serum!

OUTFIT: Phillip Lim for Target sweater, H&M trousers, Aldo shoes. Fab hair C/O of Big Sexy Hair

Concert Vibes

I told you that I would be glorifying this flannel for the rest of the season. I can't help it - every time I wear this shirt I feel so comfortable yet sexy, a combination I have never felt wearing anything else. To top things off I have my Lumineers t-shirt on from their concert I went to last month ( it was amazing)! What makes you feel comfortable and sexy? xoxo Tasha

OUTFIT: Lumineers t-shirt, H&M flannel, Macy's jeans, Rag&Bone booties

Flannel Love

I love flannel shirts and am having fun seeing how many different ways I can wear this blue one - keep a look out for this one! How do you wear your flannel? xoxo Tasha
