A Pattern This Pretty

October 10, 2018 by Nikki No Comments

I loved this pattern so much that I got it in a shirt AND a dress! I’m actually seeing this a lot lately, where companies are making different articles of clothing out of the same pattern/fabric, and I like it. You get more options for your lifestyle, or if you’re like me, you just add several different pieces in the pattern. I think it works pretty well. I just have to remember now to wear the both in the same week 😉

So Many Spring Colors

March 12, 2014 by Nikki No Comments

So many spring colors | NCsquared Life

Since Gretchen Weiner is supposed to stop trying to make fetch happen, I’ll just have to say that my new spring blouse and clutch are clutch. Or awesome/cool/amazing/etc. . But seriously, I LOVE this clutch; it has a removable chain strap so it can either be a clutch or crossbody bag. Perfection as a bag.

There are so many spring colors going on in this outfit: pink, orange, green, blue, yellow, purple… and you can never go wrong with pearls. What I’m most excited about is that I’m able to wear this top with so  many of my blazers. Here I’m wearing it with pink, but I can also wear it with coral, navy, and ivory blazers, as well – all of which I have. I have a lot of blazers. I wore this outfit to a meetingwith my professor about possible internships this summer. Fingers crossed that something turns up!

Valentine’s Pink and Red

Valentine's Day Pink and Red
February 12, 2014 by Nikki 13 Comments

Valentine's Red and Pink | NCsquared Life

Nick and I don’t make a big deal about Valentine’s Day. We usually get each other a card and maybe a small gift and dinner at Chipotle, but we’re of the mind that we don’t need one day of the year to show our love to each other; we do it every day in little ways. For example, when Nick wakes up first in the morning and makes a pot of coffee for me, even though he hates coffee. That’s love, folks.

BUT, if we were going to make a big deal of Valentines, like a fancy dinner (not at Chipotle) or a show or something else, this is what I’d wear. This outfit reminds me of when I was in middle school and had braces and would always coordinate my colored bands around the holiday – red and white for Valentines, Green for St. Patrick’s Day, etc. However, I’m loving this outfit so much that I plan on wearing it a lot even after Valentine’s is over.
