You may notice that I took these photos before I went on vacation- a girl’s gotta plan her outfits, right? One thing I like to do when traveling is pick a few basic colors to build outfits around- then I can mix and match as needed. I usually stick to black, white and denim. They all compliment each other well, and it’s easy to come up with several different looks from just a few key pieces.
In my before look, the black t shirt’s neckline is too high- notice how in the after look the lower V neckline of my camisole shows a little skin (but not too much!). This is a great camisole as it has a cute little fold detail (swipe right), which causes it to hang really well. I got this at Uniqlo, and it also comes in a bright orange color. Adding a necklace to the tank also gives it a little interest.
To change up the jacket, I rolled the sleeves, giving it a casual vibe. This cute denim jacket is from Target! I love it!! Lastly, I changed out my Birkenstocks for these cute summary wedges. These are from Clarks, and they are old- but what a great shoe. The color is so versatile, it goes with everything! I usually have a hard time wearing heels, but wedges are so comfy you can wear them all day. And look how much longer my legs look! Now I just need the desert weather to warm up a bit! It rained all day yesterday. Guess I shouldn’t complain, it’s better than snow!

Happy Valentines Day! Whether you are spending it with your sweetie, your best gal pals, your parents, your children, or whoever, I hope you have a very special day.
In today’s look, the before outfit is a little blah. The loose blouse is not flattering, and the black dress pants are better suited for the office. To create a more special look I have swapped out my black pants for these on trend ripped black jeans from Zara. I also got rid of the boring black boots and replaced them with pointy toed heels (let’s hope I don’t have to do much walking!) and finally, replaced the baggy blouse for this cute lace top that I found at Forever 21, yes, you read that right. Forever 21.
Normally I avoid that store like the plague, but my teenage daughter likes to shop there, so occasionally I wander in with her. On one of those wanders, I found this cute blouse for $17. I think it’s perfect for a Valentines date night!
I hope you have a great day filled with love! xoxo, Megan

Ok Mother Nature, enough with the snow already! I’ve been trapped in my house for 4 days and need to get out! So, I’ll put on my snow boots, some jeans, a big black sweater and my black down coat- and I’m off (to shovel snow).
Problem is, in the before picture, the jeans are way to baggy, my coat is way to bulky and my overall look is messy!
So, I changed out the giant jeans for skinny ones, put on a longer and less puffy down coat (from Uniqlo) and added this cute Burberry knockoff scarf to break up all the black, and now I am good to go.
Let’s talk quickly about these jeans. They are made by Paige- and I got them at Nordstrom Rack, so didn’t pay full price. I LOVE these jeans. First of all, I love the dark wash. Secondly, they are high waisted, which means they sit above my hips and on my natural waist. To me, this is so much more comfortable than the low rise ones. And last, they are made with 54% rayon, 23% cotton, 22% polyester and 1% spandex, which makes them super stretchy and comfy, but not in the way where by the end of the day they are 2 sizes bigger (I hate that!). These honestly feel like sweatpants, they are that comfy. I remember back in college (in the 90’s) my friend Jo Marie used to sleep in her jeans and I couldn’t imagine doing that… but these jeans- I could sleep in! And, feel free to leave a comment to let me know what you think. I love hearing from readers- it honestly makes my day!
