| I think plaid has come a long way and for a while, it used to get a bad wrap. Now, it's such a widespread trend. You can see it all over on Pinterest. If you don't already own something plaid in your closet, you should!

 Scarves are the perfect way to add a pop of color or print to any outfit. This also gives people that are a little bit more afraid to branch out into wearing more bright colors or bolder prints the opportunity to ease themselves into it. Scarves aren't meant just for winter anymore. Scarves are made from so many different materials and with various styles that they can be worn all year round, depending on the type of scarf. There are still certain scarves meant only for specific seasons, like heavy knit scarves are meant for winter, while pastel, floral prints are usually intended more for spring and summer. Most often, you can purchase scarves at any of your favorites stores or boutiques. There's such a wide variety that it would be hard to find something you don't love. Not only that, but they're reasonable in price. It's a cheap accessory that you can sport all year long. Here's a great site for different ways to wear your scarves: http://www.scarves.net/scarf-tying-index.html Check Out Some of These Scarves Ruffled tops are a MUST. They're great because they have their own special detail so that you don't even need to wear a necklace or scarf. They're their own accessory. Ruffles are perfect for any woman because they give the look a feminine touch without being too over-the-top or little girlish. In addition, not only can you wear them alone, but they also look great under blazers and cardigans. I just recently got the ruffled shirt pictured from Loft and have two other ones from TJMaxx and Target. Check out other great ruffled shirt options below that you can buy now!  Not only do headbands look great, but they definitely come in handy when you may be running a little bit behind on time when you're getting ready in the morning. It's always smart to have more fashionable headbands on hand when you just aren't in the mood to really do your hair, but want something extra to add to your look.

Absolutely every item you see from my look is from Target. After looking at the outfits side by side, the only thing I would change is to wear lighter colored jeans. However, the lighting doesn't help either because that is a navy colored blazer.
When I came across this idea, I thought to myself, "I would have never done that, but that's great!" I loved it! The pearls definitely give the look a more feminine feel because plaid tends to make it feel more rugged and tomboyish. The pearls give the look a whole new element. When you've got that put together, pair it with a cardigan or throw on some heels and you've got a complete look, and if you add heels, it will make the look even more feminine than it already is. Get the Look - I purchased both the plaid shirt and the pearl necklace from Target.   My black blazer from Marshall's. It even has a pin striped white and black lining. Every girl should have at least one blazer in their collection, and I don't mean the big shoulder pad ones from the 80s and 90s. The ones today are cute and sleek. They're a great piece to dress up an outfit, keep it casual with jeans, or impress in an interview. Currently, I own 4 blazers and I'm looking to add at least two more to my collection. As pictured above, I have on a black blazer (must have color) and I paired it with my all time favorite scarf, along with adding some bling by layering on bracelets. Sometimes, I throw on my thick, black rimmed glasses to give it an even more sophisticated look or I'm just too lazy to put my contacts in. In addition, I have blazers in white, tan, and gray (pictured below with where they are from). All my blazers are different lengths, materials, and looks. I highly recommend going a bit different for each blazer you own so that you don't get bored of them! You don't want to have a cartoon closet. I'm looking to add a navy blazer and red blazer, but of course, they are going to look a bit different than the ones I already have. Below is a picture of the navy one I am thinking about getting from Target, but you can find blazers anywhere! Extra Tip: Don't forget to roll up the sleeves to give the look an extra pop, especially if the blazer is sporting a fun and different lining. This can make the look that much different. You'll see this in the picture of my gray blazer. Now go out there and put on your blazer, pair it with your favorite heels or boots, throw on some accessories, and you're good to go!

Here is an outfit I absolutely ADORED when I saw it and once I combed through my closet a bit I realized, "I can do that!" I was so excited when I tried it a little over a month ago. My husband thought it looked great, and so did I! Unfortunately that night, my 6 month old puppy got a hold of one of my shoes and decided it would be a good idea to chew off the rubber on one of the toes. Let's just say, I was not a happy camper, but then LIGHT BULB!!! This could only mean one thing.....I "had" to buy new pair of Converse Sneakers because they're just too much of a staple item in my wardrobe and who doesn't love a reason to shop? I was able to get a 20% off deal from Famous Footwear. (You can get this deal if you sign up for their app). Gosh I love shopping online! Then just last week, my shoes finally arrived in the mail and I knew I needed to wear this outfit as soon as possible. Luckily, it's perfect for my casual Friday attire today at work. Yes, it's my Friday today! In addition to make the look a bit more feminine, I layered on some of my favorite bracelets.
