Personal Style

When it comes to my personal style, I finally feel like I have figured mine out. I was all over the board throughout high school and college, which is completely understandable as we are constantly changing.  In college, I was in classrooms a lot and trying to fit my teaching wardrobe to my every day wardrobe which were just very different.   I would say my style has transitioned from feminine and classic to more feminine and chic, with a little bit of an edge to it. I am also figuring out what truly works for my body and how to alter pieces to help me feel my personal best while wearing them.

Anthropologie // David Yurman // Kate Spade // Poshlocket c/o

Currently, I love mixing patterns and colors and pairing them with the perfect bag.  Neutral pieces had always filled my closet so I love stepping out of my comfort zone.  I also used to wear my hair the exact same boring way every single day so I am all about exploring new ways to spice up a traditional hair style.  And what would complete an outfit without all of the little details down to the nail polish. How I had never worn red before yesterday {no, I never wore it for 23 years}, I will never know.  

How would you describe your personal style? Has yours continued to evolve as well?

And just in case you didn't see my Design Your Life post over on Jess Lively yesterday, you can check it out here!

Happenings Lately

As much as I absolutely loved the A-Z Series, I am so looking forward to getting my voice back on the blog.

Here are some random not super important life updates but, hey, I felt like sharing:

I restyled part of my room. 

I have two new favorite outfits.

This actually happened. And, then I really did eat all of them in one sitting. Not a proud moment.  This is why chocolate boxes NEED to have pictures/labels on the inside cover of the box. See how good I am at taking the blame off of myself?

 Curiosity: 6, Carly: 0

I have also had the pleasure of writing several guest posts lately.  Today, you can find me at two fabulous blogs.

I am over at The Urban Slant chatting about what I wish were in my pot of gold.  Yes, you read that right.  Julia is fabulous and also roaming around Europe as I type this, but I'm trying not to let the jealousy get in the way of our friendship.

I am also over at the A Little Ray of Sunshine sharing my latest obsessions. Susan is beyond sweet and always has a positive attitude so it's been a blast getting to know her!

Hope you're all having a fabulous week! Does anyone do anything special for Leap Day?
