Dressing for Work on a Grad Student Budget

I have always loved shopping. There is that instant moment of bliss after you bought something you are really excited about. I have found that this bliss I am referring to is even more awesome when you find something for a really good deal!

Yesterday Ann Taylor LOFT had 50% of their entire store. This sounds pretty great... What is even more great is this includes sale. So my cute shirt that was already marked down to $15 was now even less!

The greatest thing about the LOFT is that they run sales like this all the time. These tops are super cute and affordable just add a necklace or scarf and you have an instant work outfit.

I think the biggest thing about dressing for work is knowing how to accesorize. I can't afford to own a ton of cute work dresses and pant/blazer sets. I can afford cute tops and I can also afford to jazz them up with fun accessories.

Thursday Inspirations

Sometimes you get to the end of the week and you just need a little pick me up! That's how I am feeling this week so I decided to find some happy little quotes and pictures :).

I love this quote because it is so true! If only we could do this all of the time. We should alway try to be the positive light for each other. 

I don't think this one needs an explanation!

Happiness is 100% a habit. We choose happiness. Sometimes making this choice seems harder than just sulking and being upset but believe me it is worth it to choose happiness all of the time.

The last one was totally necessary because who doesn't love baby animals?

Tomorrow is Friday everyone! I will get back to fashion then... Have a wonderful day!

Bracelet Love

Who doesn't love bracelets? More like who doesn't love jewelry?

Every day I wear the same three bracelets. They don't match and really I have no idea why I even paired them together in the first place but I love all three and they won't come off until they break!

The silver bangle is from Tiffany & Co. (My BF gave me that one).

The middle bracelet is from Ann Taylor.

The final one is from a street fair called Steppin' Out. 

All from totally different places!

Anyone have bracelets they wear every day?

I also love the bangles from Alex and Ani. I am thinking about adding one of those to the mix.

Now off to Wine Wednesday! More about that tomorrow :).

One Degree & My Favorite Tee

Well it's officially winter in case anyone was in denial! 

Yep, here in Blacksburg it is 1 degree but feels like -18 :). Needless to say it was a chilly morning and Starbucks was definitely in order.

Even Charlotte just wanted to lounge...

Still had to go to work but made it through the day and now will tell you all about my favorite new t-shirt. I have to give credit to my mom because she was the one who found it first. I am obsessed <3.

Rubbish - $16 

Nordstrom BP Section

This shirt is seriously the perfect length, weight, and texture. It comes in all sorts of different colors although right now they are starting to release their Spring colors so some of the Winter colors might not be available!

That is all for now! More to come tomorrow.

Lilly Sale, Good Wine, and a Dog Collar I Can't Afford

Happy MONDAY Ya'll :)

Well here it goes... My first blog post. I have always thought the best blogs are the ones full of pictures and a couple of short sentences so I will try my best to not bore you and keep it to that format.

1. The Lilly Pulitzer sale is on until tomorrow! I scored this adorable top for $19! 

Free Shipping too :) www.lillypulitzer.com

2. Saturday my parents and I went out to a lovely dinner at Richmond Country Club. We were introduced to an awesome wine that is made completely organically!

3. I have champagne taste on a beer budget. Anyways I am obsessed with this Tory Burch dog collar. What dog doesn't need a Tory collar? It might be a necessity.

Goodnight everyone!
