You know I gravitate toward red and blue with SMU games in mind. When I saw this dress, I knew it would be great for football games (crossing my fingers those still happen) with a pair of booties and a denim jacket. I’ll wear it all summer with sandals and wedges too. I found these wedges in my closet from high school, a treasure! Both the dress and the wedges were purchased locally, so I don’t have links. Above you’ll find similar options!

Happy Friday! XX, MS

Camo Jeans

Last week was a crazy one! Parties, events, games, work… Things are really picking as Christmas quickly approaches! This is my favorite time of the year, and I’ve been enjoying it. With that, blogging doesn’t always get done. Today I’m highlighting an outfit that I wore to the SMU vs Memphis football game about a month ago and just recently when I was back home for Thanksgiving.

I hope you have a happy Monday and gathered a little fashion inspiration!

Camo + Stripes

August 28, 2019August 28, 2019 ~ sanfordstandard ~ Leave a comment

Typically, I would style this type of skirt with something a little more predictable… Most likely a white ruffled blouse or a crisp white button down. Yesterday, I decided to switch things up and do a little pattern mixing. Because I don’t have an endless budget for clothes and shoes, I get creative with what I have! Make something old feel new! Honestly, I have a lot of fun doing this, and I suppose it makes sense why I’m in the job I’m in. I challenge you to look at the clothes in your closet and create new outfits from items you already have. Feel free to reach out if you need help styling!!

Go-to Combo

July 24, 2019July 23, 2019 ~ sanfordstandard ~ Leave a comment

This has been my go-to look this summer! Whether I’m hanging with Henry, running errands or traveling, this has been an easy and comfortable look to put together. You can wear this tee year round too, and get excited because camo is a trend for fall! I’m still loving the headband trend for many reasons, but it most importantly keeps my hair out of my face.

Every single one of these pieces will be a staple for you and pair back to a lot of what you already have in your wardrobe! You can’t go wrong with denim shorts, a cotton tee and a solid headband!

The Camo Puffer Vest

This camo vest was a staple for me this fall and winter. I love that it covers my bum and adds a little something to an all black work out look. Here I styled it with a basic white tee and distressed jeans as we head into spring. An otherwise simple look was completed with this third piece. I think I’ll pair it back to white jeans and a button down too.

I try to style my outfits based on the rule of thirds. Top off any look with a scarf, statement earring or some sort of outerwear to pull together an outfit. Check out these blog posts where I used the rule of thirds: 1, 2, 3, 4!

Pattern mixing with camo + stripes

I don’t mix patterns often, but I was inspired after seeing a woman wear a similar combo a couple of weeks ago in the Dallas airport. These two pieces are staples in my closet, so why not put them together!? Of course this idea doesn’t always work… See what new combinations you can create in your closet, and have fun with it!

Can you see me?

Hand-me-downs are always the best! Mama no longer wanted these camo jeans, so lucky me!! Get yourself a pair, and let them serve as a neutral in your wardrobe. Click HERE to see another way I styled them!

Safari Wear

April 2, 2018April 1, 2018 ~ sanfordstandard ~ 1 Comment

In retrospect, I think this look was inspired by a vacation I wish I was on. Have you ever been on an African Safari? For whatever reason, this is the most recent addition to my bucket list. I’m not sure how appropriate this outfit would be for that adventure, but it works for Dallas.

I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend with your family!

You Can’t See Me

I’ve never worn camouflage besides the couple of times I’ve gone hunting with friends (didn’t kill anything) or for a high school costume. I find myself being more and more drawn to it every time I see it in a store. I’ve stumbled upon a camo jacket and pants that I love but decided to start out small with a tee.

Thanks for stopping by!
