WFHW: Yellow

May 29, 2020 by Nikki No Comments

Here’s the next outfit in my Work From Home Wardrobe Series where I display the cute outfits I’m wearing while working from home during the coronavirus pandemic.

I know I’ve been a little MIA this month but that’s because we’ve been really busy with house hunting! This is one of the outfits I wore not only while working from home, but also to go see a few potential houses we were interested in. Both of these pieces were from my recent online purchase to spruce up my spring (and summer) wardrobe. I wasn’t sure about the yellow skirt but I like it!

Yes, this entire outfit is from Loft Outlet!

I was still wearing this outfit during our evening walk and Sebastian found a pretty leaf that was the same colors in my outfit. Am I imitating nature or is nature imitating me?! Either way, I thought it was really cool.

WFHW: Floral Pants Version 2

May 7, 2020 by Nikki No Comments

Here’s the next outfit in my Work From Home Wardrobe Series where I display the cute outfits I’m wearing while working from home during the coronavirus pandemic.

My last post was about these awesome floral pants I purchased to spruce up my spring and summer wardrobe. I mentioned that I’ve already worn three or four outfits in the short time I’ve had them, and here is version two. This is a slightly more dressed up look than my last outfit and it might actually be my new favorite! You could dress it up even more with a nice nude heeled sandal — which I will definitely be doing when everything opens up and I wear this outfit as I venture back out into the world.

Pants: Old Navy | Blouse: J. Crew Outlet | Jacket: Gap | Slides: Loft Outlet | Sunnies: Target

Here’s a closer look at my top. It’s the J. Crew Factory scallop cami that has been popular for a while now. I have it in two colors, this creamy white and a cobalt blue, and it’s a really nice way to dress up an outfit, even when you pair a denim jacket over it. I will also definitely be wearing this outfit to the office once it opens again.

Poncho Sweater

November 4, 2019 by Nikki 2 Comments

I loved this outfit from a week or so ago, and I’m very sad I haven’t gotten a better photo of it yet. This poncho sweater is a trend I’ve been wanting to try for a while now but oversized sweaters can be tricky for short folks to pull off. The sweater can look way too big or make you look smaller if the proportions aren’t right. This one is a Petite and fits perfectly on my 5′ 1″ frame. And it makes me look like a sophisticated adult instead of a little kid playing dress up. I’m so excited that I found it. In the photo above, I gave it the half tuck; in the photo below, I left it out. Which look do you like better?

Ready for Fall

August 23, 2019 by Nikki No Comments

Top: A New Day via Target | Vest: my BAJEE collection via Conversation Pieces | Jeans: Liverpool via Stitch Fix | Slides: LOFT Outlet | Necklace & Bracelets: Old Navy | Watch: Timex 

Fall is officially one month away and I cannot wait. I’m preparing by pulling out all of my fall scented candles/melt cups (we have a Yankee Candle Scenterpiece Wax Warmer that we use most of the time) and brushing off this army/utility vest. It’s still 90+ degrees outside here in central North Carolina, but a girl can dream! Every time a breeze blows and a leaf falls, I can sense that autumn is just around the corner. And I am so ready for it.

Instagram Outfit Roundup: Lately

August 16, 2019 by Nikki No Comments

Nikki by example | www.nikkibyexample.com

Welcome back to another outfit round up. These are a sampling of the outfits I’ve worn in the last few weeks and am having trouble picking a favorite. I almost titled this post “Black, White and Gray” but I had to sneak in the olive skirt and I figured naming four colors was perhaps a bit too much for a title.
