Shorts & T-shirts

June 8, 2021 by Nikki No Comments

If you’ve been around for a while, you’ve probably read/heard me say that I’ve never really been a t-shirt-and-jeans kind of girl but I’ve recently discovered that I definitely AM a t-shirt-and-shorts kind of gal! Especially with these linen paper-bag type shorts. This outfit was so easy to put together and so comfortable that I wore it out to run errands that included grocery shopping.

T-shirt: Old Navy | Shorts: H&M | Slides: Loft Outlet | Jewelry: Target

You can’t see it in the photo, but the sleeve of my shirt has a really cute embroidered floral detail that adds a little something extra to an otherwise plain t-shirt. I’ve included the photo from Old Navy’s website below to give you an idea of what it looks like.

You can barely make out the cute floral detail on the sleeves, but it really does look nice!

And I liked it so much that I bought another on in a copper color, which would also look great with these shorts. Maybe I’ll try that combo next!

WFHW: Floral Tank

July 1, 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 told myself at the beginning of the pandemic lockdown that with our upcoming move that I should hold off on purchasing things so we could save some money and have less to pack and move BUT I kind of decided I wanted to purchase a few more things to round out my spring and summer wardrobe. So I bought this floral tank and some cute wide-leg cropped culottes from Loft and a pair of shoes from Old Navy to go with them. That outfit will make it’s debut a little later on the blog but I loved this flora tank so much that I wanted to wear it right away. So I did. Because apparently I just do whatever I want 😀

Tank: Loft | Cardigan, Pants, and Sandals: Old Navy

Once upon a time, I hated these thin-strapped tanks because I didn’t like wearing strapless bras and I hated when my bra strap was visible. I’ve definitely gotten over both of those things and will wear my tanks all the time. And I’m glad I did get over it because look at how cute this outfit is without the tank. Plus, it’s already too hot out there for sleeves!

Well, dear readers, this will likely be the last week you see all of my backgrounds that you’ve come to know from my account because it’s the last week in our house before the move. Soon, you’ll see a new background. I’m not even sure what it will be yet so we’ll discover it together.

WFHW: Bell Sleeves

April 27, 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.

Happy Monday, folks. I hope your week is getting off to a great start!

If you’re anything like me, the days are starting to blend together so getting dressed takes a little more effort; those pajamas and leggings are just too darn comfortable. But if you’re like me, you’ve also been spending some of your time window shopping online! With spring in full bloom, I pulled my warm weather clothing out of storage and wanted to spruce it up a bit with a few new pieces so I took advantage of a LOFT outlet sale and purchased a few things. This top is one of them.

Top: Loft Outlet | Pants & Flats: Old Navy 

I’m loving the color and fit, and these tiered bell sleeves are just the right amount of cuteness. I’m also loving the mix of feminine and casual that came from pairing this top with these bottoms. As much as I’ve loved being at home, I kind of can’t wait to get back out into society. I would definitely wear this outfit to the office, maybe on a casual Friday.

Recreating an Outfit #2

February 22, 2019 by Nikki No Comments

It has rained every day this week in Durham and I’m over it. But I figured the rain + casual Friday at the office is a good chance to wear my favorite ankle boots and an army vest that hasn’t gotten much love lately. When I put this outfit on, I realized that it is extremely similar to one I wore four+ years ago, so I decided that this was a recreation/update of that outfit.

Instagram Outfit Roundup

September 21, 2018 by Nikki No Comments

Finally, an outfit post!

I’ve written about how my lifestyle has outgrown a lot of my clothes, so I’m working hard to clear my closet of any item that doesn’t make me feel like a million bucks every time I wear it. I’m also trying to live a more minimal life to focus more on experiences than material things. It’s harder than it should be due to the emotional value I place on things. I’m working on that, as well. I don’t think I’m quite ready for a capsule (or minimalist) wardrobe yet, but I might be moving more toward that direction.
