My New Favorite Fall Cardigan (in 2 colors!)

No Comments

I am a cardigan girl through and through. I’m not sure why– maybe it’s the ease of just throwing one on or maybe it’s the coziness of them, but I am a sucker for a good one, & oh boy did I find a good one! This cozy cardigan from H&M is $30 and is a great lookalike for the very popular Jenni Kayne Cocoon Cardigan which is over $400.

I have been on the lookout for a similar one because a favorite blogger of mine, Shannon from @itsybitsyindulgences has been wearing & styling hers for years & I just love every outfit she’s worn with it!

A few things about the cardigan:
-It has side slits which I think is super flattering on a smaller/petite person like myself. It’s not as overwhelming & bulky looking.
-The button holes are difficult to get the buttons through the first few times you wear it.
-The sleeves are quite long. This doesn’t bother me because I think it’s just as cute oversized & I also think it’s cute with the sleeves rolled up a bit
-The fit is very generous & oversized. Stay true to size for an oversized fit or size down for a tighter fit.
-The ribbed material & buttons just make it so stinking cute!

So, without further ado, here is the cardigan. I bought it in both colors (the taupe & the cream) & love both!

This is the taupe & it is just such a perfect color. I really love it with my birkenstock boston clog lookalikes. It’s all just a cozy vibe. I’m also wearing my new favorite Madewell Jeans (I LOVE THEM!) & highly recommend them.

Here is the lighter color, the cream, & it will match with everything! I went for a comfy casual look here with, again, the birkenstock boston clog lookalikes & some comfy sweat shorts & a tank.

How to Style: Bikers, Leggings, & Joggers (6 Casual Outfits)

No Comments

I found this new brand on amazon called ColorfulKoala and they have awesome biker shorts, leggings and joggers! I reached out to them for a collaboration and this post features a few of the items they sent me. There items are soft, super comfortable & cute!

As always, I will link everything using affiliate links. This means that I earn a small commission if you purchase using my links, at no additional cost to you. What is different about this post is I’ll link each outfit under each picture.

This first look features the green biker shorts. They’re a great moss green color & I love them paired with this long tee. This tee is one of my favorites to wear with leggings and bikers because the hem makes it so flattering and it also covers your bum!

I realized last year that a taupe pair of leggings is so versatile! Unfortunately, this color is sold out, so I linked similar. They look so cute with this amazon shacket & my favorite amazon belt bag!

Black biker shorts are classic and these ones are so comfy and look great with this lightweight pullover sweater (also from amazon!).

I love an all black look with brown accessories to make it pop.These joggers are THE MOST COMFY and so soft. I could live in them!

These taupe bikers have a bit of a heathered look to them and were the first ColorfulKoala item I tried. I was sold! I love them with a taupe lightweight button up– so cute!

This look ended up being a bonus look- I didn’t plan it in my styling session and threw it on afterwards. It kinda gives the vibes of those trendy tight body suits with a sweater over it and I’m here for that! In fact, it’s just a tank and bikers and so much easier to use the bathroom in. haha!

A Linen Blend Striped Tee: Styled with Shorts

No Comments

I styled this tee in a previous post with 3 different types of pants & I am back to style it with shorts! It is only $10 at Target and I love the subtle stripe print, but it comes in other colors as well. I sized up one but I could have stuck with my normal size. It is a linen blend so if you’re sensitive to materials like that you may find it slightly scratchy.

If you prefer video content, check out the reel HERE.

As always, I will use affiliate links at the bottom of my post to link my outfits. This means I earn a small commission if you purchase something using my links. I do my best to find similar items to older & out of stock things. You are always welcome to send me an IG message or email for any questions 🙂 Thanks for following along!

Look number 1 is biker shorts & a linen/cotton top tied around my waist. I like a little more bum/front coverage with bikers so this tied around the waist shirt is a good option! I love these taupe bikers and I went up one size for ultimate comfort.

These Levi 501 shorts have been super popular and for good reason– they’re really cute! I stayed true to size but would size up for a baggier/comfier fit.

I am not kidding when I say I wear these athletic shorts multiple times a week! I also own them in taupe and they are SO comfy and cute.

Linen shorts are so classic for summer– this pair is perfectly comfy and cute. I linked this year’s version of them (which I think I like the look of even better!).

Which look is your favorite? I love denim shorts, but casual and comfy shorts have my whole heart!

A Linen Blend Striped Tee: 3 Ways to Wear it with Summer Pants

1 Comment

Striped shirts are a classic & a favorite of mine in all seasons– they add interest to an otherwise simple outfit & are very cute. A linen blend stripe tee is a perfect staple for spring & summer & the cute one I’m styling in this post is only $10! It comes in other colors & prints but I love the stripes.

As always, I will link everything I can that is available & do my best to find similar options for things that are older or sold out. I use affiliate links which means that if you order something using my links I earn a small commission which helps me to continue writing these blog posts and doing what I love. Thanks for your support!

Look number one features these linen blend jogger pants from Old Navy. I have owned them for at least 3 years now & they bring the style back every year. I just love this color (although they come in other great colors too!) and they’re super comfy. I paired them with this pair of double strap slides from Target ($14.99!) which are a bit elevated (great if you have foot issues & can’t handle the really flat shoes like me!) and comfortable.

Look number two is a pair of wide leg linen pants from Pinkblush (this particular pair has been VERY popular & may be out of stock so I will also link similar options. If you do purchase anything from Pinkblush be sure to use MARISSAELISE25 for 25% off). I love how comfy these are but can also easily be dressed up. I added my target sandals that look like Birkenstocks & a faux leather backpack.

Look number three is sporty & casual. I am wearing my tried and true favorite straight leg jeans from old navy (also older but they update and bring the style back every year– I will link this years version), super comfortable white sneakers from amazon and a baseball cap.
