When a skirt looks as awesome as this orange chevron beauty, it doesn’t surprise me that a fellow fashionista would want to wear it too.

Matching in a Leopard Print Cardigan w/ My Best Friend
This is going to be an awesome outfit post because a) I’m wearing the coolest leopard print cardigan ever, and b) so is my BFF Lyndsey! Yes, we’re twinning, and yes, we’re ok with this.
What are friends for if not for wearing matching outfits with you on a style blog? Lyndsey and I totally planned this ahead of time but that would be awesome if we just intuitively wore them on the same day.
When I thrifted the twin of my [very favorite] leopard print cardigan, I just had to pass it on to Lyndsey. She’s one of the few people I know who can appreciate a good animal print like me.
I wore this leopard print cardigan before and decided to, once again, forego with a retro-inspired look.
I paired it up with this very grandma-esque peach blouse that I recently thrifted. Honestly, the polyester texture of this top creeps me out but I’m pretty obsessed with the Peter Pan collar, which is why I’m even still letting it touch my body.
These high-waisted jeans are also a recent thrift store find (found in this thrift haul video) that I’ve been pining after for a long time. They were perfect the first time I tried them on but have since revealed some flaws. Because of that, this might be the only time you see them around here. Hey, I’m just as bummed as you are!
On the bright side, you just might see them up for sale under my new “Shop My Closet” tab. I’m adding new stuff all the time.

Pastel ’80s Dream Dress | Clothing Swap w/ The Fashion Kidd
This outfit post is brought to you by the epic thrifting skills of Laura from The Fashion Kidd. We did a clothing swap between the two of us and I couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out!
I’m no stranger to thrifting or swapping clothes so I was excited when Laura approached me with the idea of thrifting for one another.
For just over a month, I scavenged high and low to find her the perfect piece and she did the same for me. I think we can all agree that she did a great job of finding this dreamy 1980s era dress, right?
I probably wouldn’t have bought this for myself, but after trying it on with everything in my closet, I can safely say I will keep an eye out for similar items.
It turns out this little number is versatile beyond just having a lot of fun colors to match. The cut of it is perfect to be a dress, a jacket, a tunic, a blouse, and it may even be contain a map to the Lost City of Atlantis because it’s just that awesome. I did sort of a mod styling today but I see a lot more outfits in it’s future!
A big thanks to Laura for a successful clothing swap! I’m glad to have a friend like you who feeds into my ’80s obsession and is genuinely just a great person.
If you haven’t already, stop by Laura’s blog to see what I bought for her + how she styled it. And while you’re at it, check her out on Instagram and Twitter for a super boost of inspiration.

My only regret with this outfit is that I didn’t think of it sooner. But better late than never, right?

It got me compliments everywhere I went! Wisconsin, you’re taking a step in the right direction. 😉

Power Dressing For A Lipstick Jungle
It’s funny to think that just a few short years ago my lips had never worn lipstick. Yet here I am today rockin’ a bold red mouth with a mini matching purse!If you’re wondering why you don’t see this fabulous hair more often, that’s because these pictures were snapped shortly after cutting my hair in May and I swear I cannot get it to look this good again. Because of that, I’ve basically written off this pixie cut and am letting it grow back out. Like Brooke Shields with her Calvin’s; nothing gets in between me and my curls.
(I was so tempted to write ‘this hair just ain’t cutting it!’ but I didn’t want to sound too punny!)
In case you’ve ever wondered what precautions I take to reach my woods-y photo locations, it’s this. All of this. Dress – $20 (WalkTrendy.com)
Lip purse – $5 (Amazon.com)

My Everyday Spring Outfit
Sometimes I take trips that don’t involve just moving from my computer to the fridge, and for those trips I wear clothes like this.It’s been forever since I shared one of my simple outfits. But I felt pretty cute wearing this plain red thrifted dress to do some garage saleing over the weekend that I just had to snap some pics of it.
Isn’t there some rule that if you feel good in it that you have to blog about it? Maybe I’ll have to do this more frequently!
