    Lemon Print Sweater

    You may have seen the poll I had on my Instagram stories last week about this top. When I bought this sweater, I thought it was such a cute lemon print sweater. Then, I wore it one day and at first glance my mom thought they were pineapples. I thought it was just a random mistake, but then I wore it to work one day and a few of my students said they liked the pineapples! It made me seriously question myself, but I was reaffirmed in my belief that they are lemons by multiple students and by the poll results. 80% agreed that they are lemons! Anyway, I wore…

    Green Velvet Embroidered Dress

    Today I’m sharing one last look I shot with Lauren Ashley Photography last month. It’s the last look I’m sharing from that day, but was actually the first outfit I wore that day. This green velvet, embroidered dress has such beautiful details. I knew I wanted to get this dress professionally photographed to capture the rich colors and details. It was a pretty chilly day when we shot these photos in March, so I decided to wear taupe over-the-knee boots with the dress. It helps to make the dress cold weather and day time friendly. Dress: Red Dress Boutique | Boots: DSW | Sunglasses: Quay Australia This dress is such…

    Velvet Moto Jacket

    I have an exciting post to share with you all today. Last month I met up with Lauren from Lauren Ashley Photography for a photoshoot. Lauren first reached out to me through Instagram and after exchanging a few messages we set up a shoot and I couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out, especially since the spring has been colder than usual. Oh the powers of Instagram! We shot 3 different looks – that seems to be my magic number of outfits I can fit in to 1 hour as seen with my photoshoots with Jaye Kogut Photography too. The first look I’m sharing with you today is a…

    Just two days til the weekend! I seriously need some extra sleep plus I have my monthly massage scheduled for this Saturday morning and I. can’t. wait.

I wore this oversized ice blue fuzzy sweater with sapphire blue velvet leggings for a monochromatic and cozy look. Sweater: GAP | Leggings: LC Lauren Conrad via Kohl’s | Shoes: New York & Company This fuzzy sweater is so soft and it’s the kind of material that makes you…

    Pointelle Open Cardigan

    It’s not a secret that I love cardigans. They are wardrobe staples for me all year long. Chunky cardigans are perfect in the winter and you always need a lightweight cardigan in the spring and summer for the changing weather throughout the day and chilly air conditioned places. I’ve always got an eye out for good cardigans and this pointelle open cardigan is a good one! For these photos, I wore it with a lace camisole, blue velvet leggings, and an emerald green statement ring. Sweater: LOFT | Tank Top: Kohl’s | Leggings: LC Lauren Conrad via Kohl’s | Ring: Nordstrom Rack This cardigan is so soft and I love the little…

    Red Velvet Cold Shoulder Dress

    Happy Valentine’s Day! I’m not super in to the holiday, but I don’t hate it either. I like the cheesiness of it like all the candies, flowers, and decorations, but I’ve never been one of those people that need to make a big deal about it or make a big stink about it if I don’t have a valentine. My plans today are pretty much to work and then watch more of the Olympics!  This dress is from last year but I knew it would be perfect for Valentine’s Day so I wanted to share it today. This red velvet dress has shoulder cutouts, a cut out at the chest,…

    Mini Bag Trend

      So Cute: Mini Bags by lifeaccordingtojamie featuring mini handbags     Mini bags are becoming more popular and this is just my style. I love the look of big bags but honestly I never carry that much stuff with me so my bag ends up being so empty. The few items I put in my purse just end up swimming in a large bag and that’s just for a regular purse. When you’re dressing up for an event or fancy outing you really don’t want to carry a large purse. The key is to find a bag or clutch that is small enough to not get in the way…

    Velvet Floral Bomber

    Did you get snow yesterday where you live? I know a lot of states got snow and ice. It started snowing here right in time for my morning commute and it was an icy mess. I was hoping to get an early dismissal from work, but no such luck. But let’s look back on a look from a non-snowy mild winter day. Last month I shared the first look from my winter photoshoot with my friend Jaye Kogut Photography. A super soft, cozy, and stylish shearling coat, embellished boxy purse, and burgundy sock boots. Today I’m sharing my second look from the photoshoot – a velvet floral bomber. I love…

    Crushing on Velvet

      Crushing on Velvet by lifeaccordingtojamie featuring a blue high neck dress   It’s no secret that velvet is extremely popular right now and I am loving it. Suffice it to say, when Polyvore had a “Crushing on Velvet” style challenge, I was all about participating. I browsed through the velvet dresses on Polyvore and when I saw this green, high neck velvet gown I had to create a set around it. It looks kind of old-fashioned but classic and alluring at the same time despite basically showing no skin. I decided to style this dress as if I were going to a holiday party so I chose gold accessories that sparkle.…

    Blue Velvet

    A few months ago during one of Francesca’s ridiculously good sales, I picked up blue velvet bow slip ons. I had been wanting bow slip ons and when I saw that these velvet ones were on sale I couldn’t pass them up. So when I was picking out an outfit last month for my friend’s daughter’s first birthday party I decided I wanted to wear those slip ons with a blue velvet top. I apparently could not get enough of blue that day because I wore the blue velvet top with double ruffle cap sleeves, a blue cocktail ring, and my blue Longchamp bag. Top: Bungalow 20 | Pants: Uniqlo…
