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!

Memorial Day Weekend

June 7, 2018 by Nikki 5 Comments

Memorial Day Weekend came and went without much fuss. It was the one year anniversary of my heart attack and, because I was afraid that would trigger my anxiety, my therapist suggested I make plans to help keep my mind off of it. We decided to go on a little picnic, head over to the Museum of Life and Science, and then go to a cookout/BBQ at our neighbor’s house. MLS is one of my favorite places to take Sebastian because there’s so much for him to do and see, and every time we go, he’s a little bit older and a little more aware of the things around him. This is what I wore for our outing. I’ve been wanting a pair of scallop shorts for a while now, and J. Crew did not disappoint. These are great!

Maxi Skirt

June 5, 2018 by Nikki 6 Comments

Nikki by example | Nikkibyexample.com

Maxi skirts are great for summer! They’re light and airy, and I really like how they blow in the wind. This maxi and floral top are from my Mother’s Day shopping spree. I was a little concerned about the color and whether I would be able to pair it with enough tops, but in the end I decided it was definitely worth it the risk because it’s so pretty. I wore this outfit to have lunch with Nick, and then go grocery shopping with Sebastian. Lately my days consist of playing with Sebastian, grocery shopping, and then going for after-dinner walks in the evenings. It’s really nice but I think I’m ready to get back out there into the working world. And this outfit is perfect for doing just that!

Shorts Weather

April 13, 2015 by Nikki 2 Comments

Shorts Weather | NCsquared Life

There is a light at the end of the tunnel! My professional paper/thesis is almost complete and my presentation/defense is this week so I’ve finally had some time to 1) actually get dressed in a new outfit and 2) to snap a few pictures of the outfits. This last week it got up to 80 degrees, which is definitely shorts weather, and I don’t wear shorts all willy nilly. But these are so comfortable, so I couldn’t wait to wear them. They’re the perfect length, as well.

I wore this outfit to class and to the office, and out to dinner with friends.

Date Night

August 14, 2014 by Nikki 9 Comments

Date Night | NCsquared Life

I wore this on a recent date night which just happened to be a double-date, sushi night; my favorite kind! This is the first tank I’ve purchased in a while that hasn’t needed to have the shoulders taken up. I was surprised at how well it fits and excited that I could wear it out  right away (usually I have to wait a week for it to come back from the tailor).

For as long as I can remember, I’ve only worn form-fitting shirts because I was convinced that anything else would look too big, like a kid playing dress up. But I’m slowly starting to embrace flowy, loose tops and I must admit that it looks pretty darn good. It’s a good thing to have a nice balance of loose and form-fitting.

The subtle pattern on this top is great, but for some reason, it reminds me of wood paneling!
