Ruffled

I live for a good statement top. My first choice of outfit is a blouse and jeans, but I don’t want the look to be basic. This Alpha & Omega top really is a mullet top, but in a super chic way.  I’ve never seen a top like this and it’s definitely eye-catching, but it’s not too over the top because it’s a soft peachy nude shade.

I paired my frayed, almost flared, jeans to balance the look. I feel like just doing a regular skinny jean with the outfit would end up being too top heavy. The frayed added movement and volume to the bottom half so your eyes follow the whole look rather than just being focused on the top.

The black booties add that sleek and edgy part to the flouncy look. Although this top is definitely a show stopper, because it’s just in the back and it’s a neutral color, the metallic bag adds a pop color with out actually being an in your face color.

A week in the “blogging world” seems so long. I haven’t posted in a week and honestly it feels refreshing to kind of breath and let my mind have a rest. But don’t worry, I’m back at it this week!

I’ve been lusting after this white JOA top for a couple of weeks. I know what you’re probably thinking…”it’s just a white top, what’s so spectacular?”. This top, it’s simple, but it’s beautiful in its simplicity. The eyelet detailing and ruffling bring it to life and give the otherwise plain top flirtatiousness and life. I love that with my hair in braids it gives the look a sweet-country vibe. And fun fact that ties into the “prairie” look: my named was inspired by the writer Laura Ingalls Wilder that wrote Little House on The Prairie. 

This top is a little more than I usually spend, but it’s such a classic and quality piece that I can wear so many different ways and I love that!

Stripes, ruffles, florals, and pearls–am I preppy now?? Not even.

But I do love pairing sweet tops with a grungy denim to balance the best of both styles. I love the unexpected and super in your face pearl embellished sandals. They’re the perfect casual yet dressy everyday sandal.
