HOW TO STYLE YOUR SWEATERS INTO SPRING

No Comments

It is FINALLY feeling like spring where I live! It’s glorious, but that means we still have sweater-like weather because it’s still northern NY😜 as it warms up, I like to start pairing my sweaters with my more “spring-like items”—dresses, skirts, linen pants etc.

If you prefer video content, here is the reel!

Here are four ways I’m wearing a sweater into spring. this sweater is a 100% organic cotton one and it’s the BEST! I’ve had the brown color (not pictured here) for 3 years and I just think the high/low hem is so flattering and it’s got a great weight to it that helps it to hang nicely. I am wearing the speckled beige color here and you can use 25MARISSA10 for money off of your first order from Quince.

Outfit 1: the cotton sweater with a pair of utility jeans (any pair of your favorite jeans will work!), clogs and gold jewelry

Outfit 2: the cotton sweater, a maxi skirt (this gauzy cotton one is so flowy and pretty, but any maxi skirt you have is perfect), leather sandals (these Naot sandals are sooo comfy!), and a fun beaded necklace

Outfit 3: the cotton sweater with linen pants (these are my favorite pair from quince—I own in 4 colors!), a pair of comfy sandals (love these Tevas as a really versatile pair!) and a matching crossbody bag. Top it all off with gold jewelry!

Outfit 4: layer the cotton sweater over your favorite maxi dress! I layered mine over this one I own in white and red and I paired it with cowboy boots (best eBay find EVER!) and a beaded necklace that I made!

Easter Outfit Ideas/Spring Outfit Ideas

No Comments

Easter is less than two weeks away and I’m just starting to think of outfits! It’s always hard for me to really know what to wear for Easter because where I live the weather varies so much in March/April— it could be warm and sunny or it could be cold and snowy, or a mix of both.

I’ve put together 8 easy, petite-friendly looks that work well for Easter, church, family gatherings, or even a casual day out. From flowy floral skirts to light layers and spring colors, these outfits are not only cute but comfortable too. These looks do tend to lean more towards warm weather, but I figure I can throw on a cardigan or denim jacket with them if necessary!

All of these outfits would work not only for Easter, but for spring in general, Mother’s Day, or any dressy event you may have coming up (bridal shower, baby shower, graduation, etc.)

Four Pairs of Pants I Would Wear if I Worked in an Office or as a Teacher

No Comments

I am currently a stay at home mom, but I used to teach prekindergarten, and every once in awhile I like to put together some outfits that I would wear if I was still teaching or working in an office environment.

If you prefer video content, the reel is HERE.

These outfits DO lean on the more casual side, but you could certainly decide to dress them up with heels, jewelry, blouses, and other accessories to make them feel more like you. I decided to keep things simple to really showcase the pants.

Below each photo, you’ll find links to the featured pieces or similar alternatives if the originals are unavailable, all through LTK. These are affiliate links, meaning I may earn a small commission if you make a purchase—at no extra cost to you. Your support means so much to me!

I have owned the wide leg pair of these pants for a few years now, but I lost some weight and they don’t fit anymore. I accidently ordered the straight leg pair to replace them and loved them and kept them. I paired the orange pants with a cream sweater and balmy blundstone boots.

I love a black/washed black pair of pants and this wide leg pair is as cute as they are comfy! The large pockets add some fun interest they’re a great length for petites!

I know we’re starting to get into spring and out of corduroy pants season, but this pair is so good! The color is a mix between a green and a brown and they’re so soft and comfy.

Outfit linked HERE

I’ve owned these pants the longest and love the color. A light olive green is a favorite of mine. I bought these when I was heavier, so I could probably size down at this point, but they’re a comfy and loose fit.

Would you wear these outfits as a teacher or in an office?

How to Create Festive Christmas Looks Using Clothes You Already Own

No Comments

You don’t need to buy a whole new wardrobe to look festive this holiday season. With a little creativity, you can put together Christmas-inspired outfits using pieces you already have. I have put together 11 ways to style your everyday clothes for a cheerful, holiday-ready look!

If you ARE looking to fill some holes in your wardrobe or add something to your outfit rotation, I will link each outfit below each photo (if pieces are older or unavailable, I will link similar styles. This will be noted in the LTK description).

As always, I use affiliate links. This just means I earn a small commission if you shop using these links, at no additional cost to you. I appreciate you shopping my links as it helps me to continue putting together these posts. Thank you!

A pop of red: to make almost any outfit feel more Christmasy, throw on a red accessory (a beanie like this one, or a red scarf, red mittens, red bag, red shoes etc)

Try burgundy: if you don’t love red, try burgundy! It’s a trending color right now & it works for all sorts of occasions (Thanksgiving/ Valentines & Christmas!). Make it extra cute by matching your socks!

Wear a satin top: a satin top is a great investment for holiday events, winter date nights, or when you want to feel more dressed up!

Wear a festive sweater: a fair isle sweater in a neutral color is super cozy & will get lots of wear ALL winter long!

Wear white: white knits are perfect for the winter season— make it even cozier with a textured scarf!

Wear satin or go for a monochromatic outfit: a satin slip skirt (in any color!) is always a winner for the holidays. I went ahead & made a green monochromatic look & love how festive it feels!

Wear a red top: a red sweater is a cute way to feel festive & something you can wear year after year (it doesn’t even have to be printed like this one!).

Throw on a holiday scarf: the plaid colors in this scarf make it perfect for Christmas, but a solid scarf in green, red, white, or cream would work too!

Outfit linked HERE.

Wear green: green is one of my favorite colors to wear so this is a really easy one for me!

Wear festive jewelry: stick with a neutral outfit and add red or green jewelry! These two pieces are from Sela Designs and you can use MARISSA10 for $$ off.
