Style Me November - Week 2

Without further ado, I bring you this week's looks from the Style Me November Style Challenge. For more info on the challenge, see my post from last week

A Steal On Sale:
Vest: ThredUp (BB Dakota, similar)
Top: ThredUp (LOFT, similar)
Jeans: JustFab Perfect Jeggings Knit in Burgundy
Shoes: ThredUp (Aldo, similar)

Pretty much everything I buy from ThredUp is a steal on sale, but this BB Dakota vest and these Aldo booties are probably my favorite finds.

Falling for Florals:
Top: H&M
Cardigan: ModCloth Charter School Cardigan in Navy
Jeans: JustFab Signature Skinny in Dark Medium
Shoes:Vans Authentic 

It was surprisingly tough for me to come up with some florals. This was the only top I had in a floral print. Luckily it was pretty neutral so I could have fun with it.

You may notice that I skipped Polka Dots and Plaids. That's because I had a cranky baby on Sunday and didn't go to skirt so on to Monday.

Queen of Hearts:
Dress: ThredUp (Old Navy, similar)
Top: American Eagle (similar)
Leggings: Old Navy Women's Jersey Leggings
Shoes: ThredUp (Aldo, similar)

I only had one heart print item, and I tried styling it a couple of different ways. This is what I settled on and even though it wasn't at all my usual style, it ended up being one of my favorite looks of the week.

Something Shimmers:
Earrings: Avenue

I spent the day out of town shopping with my mom so I didn't get any full body shots. Since the prompt just applied to my earrings, this is all you get. My apologies.

Sealed with a Kiss:
Vest: LOFT Polka Dot Quilted Puffer Vest
Top: ThredUp (LOFT, similar)
Jeans: JustFab Signature Skinny in Dark Medium
Boots: JustFab Acheline

While shopping I found this supa cute polka dot vest at LOFT. I couldn't wait to style it so I was happy to see the prompt was "sealed with a kiss". I threw on some lipstick and called it a day.

School Girl Prep:

Top: LOFT (similar)
Cardigan: ModCloth Charter School Cardigan in Red
Jeans: HauteLook (Seven7)
Shoes: HauteLook (Keds, exact)

This was one of my most nerve wracking looks of the week. I haven't curled my hair since I was probably 12, but after watching One Little Momma's tutorial this morning, I thought I'd try it. It needs some work but I'm ok with how it turned out. Also I decided to channel my inner Taylor Swift with the red lip and the red keds. I've never done a red lip ever so that also made me nervous but I kinda love it!

So that's the week. I have to say, this has to be the most fun thing I've done style wise. It makes me get dressed (almost) every day, and it forces me to get creative. It's definitely worth it if you have the ability to do it.

Everyday Style - Chambray Shirt and White Denim

Shirt: American Eagle (similar, similar)
Pants: Hautelook (Jag Jeans, similar, similar)
Shoes: Hautelook (Keds, exact)
Necklace: Zulily (Mindy Mae's Market, similar, similar)

It's been a rough week blogging-wise. I have a baby that doesn't want to nap anymore and lots of things to do to work on buying a house. Thus why there was no post on Tuesday. I'll try to make up for it later since I still have a birchbox review to post for the month. 

Anyway, on to the outfit. As a fashion blogger, I get outfit ideas from many places: pinterest, polyvore, fashion magazines, and other bloggers. In the case of the outfit today, I was inspired by One Little Momma's outfit from yesterday. Obviously I put my own spin on it since it was much too warm for the cardigan and because I wanted my personality to come through in the outfit. 

I'd been looking for the best way to style this chambray shirt that I bought last year. It had been sitting in my closet calling my name so when I saw the post yesterday, a light bulb turned on. I went for a casual look with the sneakers, but then used the necklace to fancy it back up a tad. 

I loved my other teething necklace so much that I went on the hunt for another one and I thought this one worked well into my style. They really are the best mom accessory! 

Overall, the outfit made me feel put together while still being comfortable. Definitely a mom-on-the-go look!

If you're interested in signing up for Hautelook, I would appreciate if you would use my referral link here. If you're interested in signing up for Zulily, you can use my link here. Both are awesome flash sites that frequently have great deals on clothes, shoes, home goods, and other great stuff for someone on a budget.
