Three Ways to Style A Shacket (AKA Shirt Jacket)

No Comments

Shackets are all the rage & so trendy– for good reason! They are a great way to layer & add warmth & cuteness to a look. I love the look & they’re easy to throw on. There are a ton of different materials– corduroy, plaid, boucle, sherpa, you name it there is a shirt jacket for it.
The majority of shackets have either a very oversized look or are just slightly oversized.
Today I am styling a less oversized shacket from Style Trolley, an online boutique with so many cute items. If you want to pick up my shacket, you can here (use StyleTrolley20 for 20% off)!
This shacket is a boucle material and heavier weight. I love the neutral colors, the snap buttons, and the oversized pockets!

Look number 1: a long sleeve top, straight leg jeans, and chelsea boots. This look is super trendy with the straight legs and the lug sole chelsea boots. It’s also very comfy and it would look cute to tie the shacket around your waist.

Look number 2: a hoodie, leggings, & sneakers. This is a sportier look. I love the look of a hoodie with a shacket & this makes the shacket extra cute & cozy! I recently picked up some taupe leggings which would also look super cute with this shacket!

Look number 3: skinny jeans, sock boots, and shacket buttoned up (tucked or untucked). This look is more dressed up because of the shoes, but I feel like you can either keep it more casual with the shacket untucked, or make it look more dressed up by front tucking. Either way, so so cute!

Do you own a shacket yet? Which look would you try?

How to Style Sock Booties (Sustainable brand Vivaia Shoes Review)

No Comments

Vivaia is a brand that reached out to me about trying their sustainably made shoes. After researching them & finding out more about their company, I decided to give them a try! All views are my own and the shoes were gifted to me by Vivaia.

If you prefer video content, check out my fun reel HERE!

The number one great thing I was excited to learn about Vivaia is that their shoes are made with recycled plastic water bottles & ethically sourced wool (even the packaging that they send the shoes in is 100% recycled materials!). I was SO impressed with that fact, & even more so when I received the shoes & they were incredibly comfortable! A good portion of their shoes are even made to be machine washable which is also so convenient (unfortunately this pair is not because of the heel).

I chose the Zoe wool round-toe boots in my regular size (you just use their size chart to convert your US size to your EU size) and the color tan russet. It’s a beautiful brownish grey & it’s the perfect color that goes with just about anything (this pair is on sale right now for $83 and my code ma18 can get you an extra 18% off!).

Viviaia has a ton of shoe options on their site– boots, mules, loafers, flats, heels, sneakers, etc, and they also carry men’s shoes. Vivaia is considered a competitor of Rothys’ shoes, which I can’t speak to or review because I don’t own a pair, but they both are made for comfort & out of recycled materials. If you are interested in trying a pair of sustainably made shoes, Vivaia’s shoes start around $99, which is more affordable than Rothys are. They also seem to have more style options than Rothys.

All in all, I would definitely recommend Vivaia shoes to anyone looking for style, comfort, & sustainability. I’m looking forward to contining to wear and style my Zoe sock boots and to continue to support this brand!

I have styled these extremely versatile boots 3 different ways below. Most of my outfits are older pieces, but I will link similar options to what I’m wearing if you want to try to recreate look. I use affiliate links which means I earn a small commission if you purchase anything using my link, and it will be no additional cost to you. Thanks for your support! 🙂

Look number 1: A mockneck, cardigan & straight leg jeans.
This look is casual & comfy. I LOVE that these sock boots tuck perfectly into straight leg jeans. Makes them look so chic.

Look number 2: A mini boho dress.
The color of these boots pairs perfectly with black & I love that the taller shaft adds interest to an otherwise simple dress look.

Look number 3: A flowy top & skinny jeans.
The shaft of these boots is tight enough that they pair so well with skinny jeans too! Love that! Dress it up with a flowy blouse & you’ve got yourself a cute night out look.

3 Ways to Layer a Striped Top in the Winter

No Comments

A striped top is a must in any wardrobe. It is a great layering piece that adds interest no matter the season– a striped tank in the summer, a tee in the spring, and a long sleeve in the fall & winter.
I think the most versatile colors are black (or dark navy!) and white but you could choose whatever colors go best with your wardrobe. I picked up this one at Walmart & it is all sold out at this point, but I will link similar options as a striped long sleeve top is fairly easy to find.

I will be layering this striped top three different ways but keeping the base the same–striped top, straight leg jeans, & sock booties.

As always, I will link the items I am wearing (or similar if unavailable!) using affiliate links. This means I get a small commission if you choose to shop using my links & it will be no additional cost to you. Thanks! 🙂

This first look is certainly “on-trend”–layering using a shirt jacket, or shacket, as the kids are calling them these days. I really love the shacket trend because I live in Northern NY where it is COLD, so an extra warm layer that is also cute works great! This one is from Amazon and has been one of my favorite shackets to style all winter long!

This second look has a crew neck sweatshirt layered over the striped top. It’s comfy, it’s cute, it’s casual. What more could you want? This cute one from amazon has a tulip hem (easier to see when I link it below) & is a great color.

The third look is a classic–a cardigan and stripes is a tale as old as time. I love a good cardigan outfit & even better if it’s neutral tones. Mine is old, but I linked a bunch of tan/taupe options below.

Which look is your favorite?
Do you like to layer or is it too bulky for you?

Three All-Black Outfits for Winter

No Comments

As we head into January & the weather gets colder I tend to reach for more black items in my wardrobe. I like an all black outfit because 1.it’s simple & 2. it’s chic. Two things I usually strive for in my outfits.

I came up with three fairly easy all black outfits for winter that you can use as inspiration. Most of the items in these photos & this post are older, but I linked similar options in case you want to try and recreate them.

If you prefer video over pictures & blog posts, you can see the reel HERE!

As always, I use affiliate links via Liketoknow.it & this means I earn a very small commission if you purchase something using any of my links. I always appreciate the support & it helps me continue to put time & effort into doing this. Thanks 🙂

This first look is a pair of faux leather leggings (these ones are from Sawyer Laine Boutique, but I linked similar) black booties & a black sweater. Super comfy, super easy to put together, & super cute!

This is the most dressed up look, because obviously, it’s a dress. This exact dress is sold out but there’s a bunch of similar ones on the amazon listing. I love the sheer sleeves and the sheer hem. It makes the look a bit sexy, but not revealing.

This look is my favorite because I love a black jeans moment & this bodysuit (which is sold out, sorry!) kicks it up a notch. Paired with a black cardigan, it’s a perfect look for date night or girls’ night out!

Are you a fan of all black? If so, would you wear any of these looks? Let me know in the comments or over on my instagram!
