July 11, 2019 by Nikki No Comments

Nikki by example | www.nikkibyexample.com

Well, hello there! I know I said I was done but I received enough encouragement from friends and readers and the like to keep it going. I guess I’m no quitter 😉 (j/k, I legit quit things all the time – a bad habit I’m working on). Anyway, I’m back with my bathroom mirror selfies/Instagram Outfit Roundup. This time I’ve decided to go with a theme: dresses!

These are some of the dresses I regularly wear to the office and out and about. I haven’t featured these on the blog yet so I figured this was as good a time as any to do so. Enjoy!

Summer Couple Style

June 30, 2014 by Nikki 6 Comments

Summer Couple Style | NCsquared Life

We have a treat for you! Our favorite photographers, Thad and Sarah of  2 & 3 Photography, held an event where we had some portraits taken! We haven’t had any professional photos of just the two of us since our wedding photos; we usually take family photos with the furbabies in the fall for holiday cards but when this event rolled around, we decided we wanted to get some photos of just us for fun. We had so much fun running around the farm and catching up with our friends!

We were even able to recreate one of our engagement photos (which you can see on our About Us page) that so nicely depicts our personality differences:

Ruffles and Pearls

Sweater: Banana Republic | Camisole: Target | Belt: Banana Republic | Jeans: Old Navy | Shoes: Payless (old) | Earrings: Target | Necklace: Francesca’s (the single strand of pearls was a gift) | Bracelet and Watch: gift

There’s nothing like ruffles and pearls to make you feel all girly and feminine. I’m not usually a fan of them, but I like the subtly of the ruffles on this sweater. I feel very pretty in it.

I layered two pearl necklaces to add some bulk to my neckline to contrast the deep plunge of the sweater. It’s all about balance. This bracelet, however, is kind of a problem. I don’t normally wear them because my wrists are freakishly small and most jewelry just slides right off of them (as you can see in the photos). My watch only stays on because I took out every link except one. Is it normal to have such small wrists? I should probably see my doctor about it….

Rainy Day + Rain Boots

October 9, 2013 by Nikki 1 Comment

It’s a rainy day here in my world. I used to hate going out in the rain because I wore jeans and/or sandals and my feet would get so wet, and that’s one of my least favorite things ever. Only recently, after reading on a fashion blog somewhere that the best rainy day outfit was a dress and boots, did I realize that I didn’t have to get my feet and jeans wet when it rains. So I started pairing cute dresses with nice boots.

Even better than that, last Christmas Nick gave me a pair of rain boots that I wear all the time. Even when it isn’t raining!

Rain boots are the best invention ever. If you don’t have a pair, I strongly recommend them. They’ll change your life!

What is your rainy day uniform?
