I am LIVING in these pink cords this fall, and to my surprise, they go with a lot! I can pair an olive jacket, a colorful floral top or a camel sweater with these bad boys (just to give you a few ideas). If you plan on adding these cords to your wardrobe, I suggest going down a size because they do give.

I also want to share a couple of my newest consignment finds!!! Y’all I’m pumped. I purchased this blouse for $35 from a local consignment shop, and I couldn’t be more pleased. You know I love ruffles, and this pattern allows for a great transition piece. I’m going to pair this top back to my olive pants too. My second treasure is this pair of Chanel quilted flats – new with tags and 70% off. Can you believe it? I struck gold. You’ll see these for years to come.

I must confess that hot pink and lime green was my favorite color combo circa 4th grade. Can anyone else relate? My cousins had a hot pink and lime green bedroom, and I could not have been more jealous!! Think green and pink polka dot walls and coordinating bedding. My braces even had pink and green rubber bands – btw, not a good look.

Have you ever heard what goes around comes back around? Well, here we are. I’m wearing my middle school self’s favorite color combo and loving it. I often think cords are going to be stiff, but these have great stretch. I recommend buying your true jean size because they will give. Don’t miss out on adding these to your fall wardrobe!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Painted Accessories

Hand painted accessories are EVERYWHERE right now! Both local artists and designer brands are partaking in this trend, so why don’t you? Almost everything on Leatherology can be customized – from your phone case to your suitcase. Away is offering painted initials on travel gear, and of course you can’t forget about Louis Vuitton‘s customized totes.

Share your painted accessories with me!

Anyone else happy it’s already humpday???

I am loving cropped flares right now! All colors and textures… I just can’t get enough. I scored a couple of pairs on Nordstrom Rack last week and want to share a few more of my favorites with you!

You can dress them down with a sneaker and jean jacket or up with a silk blouse and strappy heel. Pick your poison and happy shopping!

I Like What I Do

July 17, 2017July 16, 2017 ~ sanfordstandard ~ Leave a comment

I thoroughly enjoy getting dressed every morning before work. I suppose this means a couple of things: I like what I do, and well, I like what I do. To be honest, I’ve always enjoyed getting dressed each morning. Maybe not the mornings my mom made me wear tights to church, but every other. And, I like my new job. Working for Front Door Fashion has been a great transition into the real world, and I’ve loved styling each woman no matter her needs. Styling is my passion.

PS this top is old so I found a few great alternatives.

Friday Finds: Denim Edition

June 30, 2017July 20, 2017 ~ sanfordstandard ~ Leave a comment

This Friday I’m talking about my favorite jeans and why!

First, is the J Brand Maria. This jean has been a favorite of mine for years. I love it because it is a high rise and a true skinny. The jean comes down a little past the ankle, so it is the perfect length for a cuff.

Next, I love the Citizens of Humanity Rocket skinny. They suck you in in all the right places! I have a distressed gray pair, and they are perfect for all seasons!

Zara is a great place to get trendy denim. I have the best distressed boy friend jeans that I got last spring. I’ve dressed them up with strappy heels and worn them casually with Adidas tennies.

The Stella McCartney Flare jean is the ultimate flare! I love this color for spring and summer, but it also pairs nicely with a black chunky sweater in the winter.

OMG. Let me tell you about the Citizens of Humanity Wide Leg Crop… They feel like pajamas. They are the comfiest pair of jeans I own and go with everything!

I go for the high rise every time because they not only fit my waist but my booty too. I hope I inspired your next denim purchase!

I’m in love with these pants. They are the perfect weight, have a little give and can be worn all seasons. I’ve had these pants for a week, and I’ve already worn them three times. I’ve paired them with the blouse above, a graphic tee tucked in and a cropped blouse. Heels, sandals and sneakers are a perfect match too.

From Santa

First of all, guys, this is a big moment. I’m not wearing anything by Zara.

Santa surprised me with a few stellar pieces to build my wardrobe. I love the bomber trend but don’t love how the fluffy material makes me look fluffy too. This bomber from Shopbop is a thin silky material, which takes the shape of your body. And, this color is so rich that I’ll pair it with all neutrals.

The flannel booties were also under the Christmas tree. I’m OBSESSED. I first laid eyes on these beauties this summer while working for Tibi, and they made their way into my closet 6 months later. You might get sick of seeing them on me, but I won’t.
