Laced with Gold

Shirt: H&M
Shorts: Pacsun ($5, the store was going out of business)

Necklace: Thrifted 

Purse: Mudd (gifted)

Combat Boots: Nordstrom BP


I usually don't tuck in my shirts but lately I have been loving it! 

Fashion Tip: If you are not into high-waisted but want to tuck in, make sure to buy pants that are not low rise jeans!

Budget Shopping Tip: Always go into a store if it is going out of business; even if you don't usually shop there. 
I never shop at Pacsun but these black shorts were such a steal!! 
I had been looking for a pair of black high-waisted shorts too!

{Men} The Simple V

Although I am a women's fashion blog I had been getting some requests to do 'Men's Wear'

So every first monday of the month will be style tips for the men in our life {or lack there of}

My first post is going to be pretty basic(no pun intended); I personally think guy's have it pretty easy!

Step 1: Purchase white, grey, black, dark green, blue etc. V-Necks (or crew) shirts
Step 2: Find a good pair of jeans.

There you go! You are set!

I am going to now look like a JCrew ad but I think that they show how to wear the basics well. 

{You can also go and buy Hanes, or they have packs of v-necks/crew in H&M for cheap}

Broken-in pocket tee: JCREW 2 for $35

Broken-in henley: JCREW $34.50

I love the way H&M styled this look:
Helllooo handsome!   (Sort of reminds me of Sawyer from Lost)
Denim Shirt: H&M $25

I love the way they have him wearing simple basics. Shirt, Denim button up, Jeans. 
Great place to buy affordable great quality graphic tee: Adamo Collection

Guys - Seriously I am jealous how easy it is for you guys to look so gosh darn good! 

Simple Tip: When in doubt (and when its not hot out) layer! 

Jeans: JCREW 

(For denim, find a cut that works for you and roll with it! Not everyone was meant for slim, bootcut, skinny, etc.)

Small Rant:
I am going to finish this off with saying, when it comes to men's wear you can easily look hunk-a-licious without spending more than a few dimes.
 Shopping at a goodwill for guys is like a candy shop! Not only are their well made jackets, but there are also suits! 
If you want to experiment with a new style I would say get a few pieces from your local thrift store to test drive it out. 
Whenever I go to one and look the men's section, they always have good quality t-shirt brands. 
If you are up for the hunt I say give it a go!

Next Month I will most likely talk about how to wear a more 'casual fancy' shirt.

Who are guys looking to for style inspiration lately?   Ryan Gosling

Pumped Purple

It was a wee bit colder so I chose to wear pants today -- purple pants that is!

I found this knitted sweater in my dorm's 'free' pile.
(there is a pile where girls throw things they don't want anymore so it's basically my paradise)

Knitted Top - The Tog Shop (from dorm pile)
Purple Pants - H&M
Necklace - Curio



So I got these killer (no pun intended) shoes from Kohls the other day. 
Orig. $35 --- with Kohls Cash I payed $5
Unfortunately after around 2 hours, they were killing the back of my ankle's 
and my poor pinky toes. 

Hopefully that was just the pain of wearing it in 
and in time they will be more friendly to my feet.  



Another look at the shoes -- that I love the look of but are the pain in the ankle!

Lastly, I entered a contest for blogs and it is here


Just scroll down and find my name 'Kayla' 
and the picture of me in the blue dress from my new years post and press the heart button.
 Its super simple to vote and I would love the support! 

Please share with friends and family -- it would be a great opportunity and I would be so grateful!
