Pinky Promise

December 19, 2018December 18, 2018 ~ sanfordstandard ~ Leave a comment

How fun are these jeans? Sweet Henry gave them to me for Christmas, and of course, I couldn’t wait to wear them. I grabbed my pink sweater and coat to wear to work. Margaret gave me the velvet bow that matches the jeans perfectly. I love how fresh and light this winter look is. I definitely recommend purchasing a blush coat – you’ll be surprised how much it goes with! Let me know if you need help styling your own pink coat.

Mad for Plaid

November 12, 2018November 11, 2018 ~ sanfordstandard ~ Leave a comment

Happy Monday!! I hope you all had a great weekend. My roommates and I spent the weekend packing up our apartment in anticipation of our move this week. “Moving is fun!” said no one ever. I can’t wait to be unpacked and settled in our new place this coming week.

Now onto more exciting things: my outfit. I love a mini dress and over-the-knee boot combination. It’s a classic fall go-to that can be recreated many different ways. I picked up this plaid dress at Zara while in Chicago visiting my brother. This leather jacket is a vintage piece from my mom’s closet that I snagged while home a few weeks ago. She doesn’t wear it anymore, so now I get to! I received these suede boots last year for Christmas and what a staple they are. Wear them with jeans, tights and dresses or skirts – basically your entire winter wardrobe. I linked the exact pair plus a budget friendly option.

I hope y’all have a great week. Let me know if there is anything you would like for me to post about!

Textured Combo

August 29, 2018August 29, 2018 ~ sanfordstandard ~ Leave a comment

My hair will continue to be on top of my head if it stays this hot. Mercy…

Skirts can be hard to style. You want the perfect top to tuck in, to leave out or to sit right at the top of your waistband. I often avoid skirts unless I know I have that perfect top to pair back. I bought this skirt as a set to the matching blouse, BUT I hadn’t figured out what else to pair it with until I felt inspired by its texture. I tucked this old eyelet blouse into the skirt for the perfect work look.

Get inspired by what you already have in your closet!

Laces and Bows

So many bows, so little time! Bows don’t always have to be girly. I love to mix patterns and textures to make an outfit more interesting: straw, silk, cotton, denim and leather all in one! Try mixing some of your favorite pieces to create a unique look.

We Meet Again

It’s that time of year again when Zara puts everything on sale that you just bought last week at full price. Frustrating of course, but entering a Zara store during the sale is also a nightmare. I recommend you check things out online, so you can avoid the long lines and complete chaos.

I bought this dress a few weeks ago (at full price, of course) in the Houston store, and I’ve loved it. I recommend wearing a heel with it to give you height since the dress is so boxy. Let me know what goodies you get from the sale!!

Hi friends, it’s me again! I am loving this embroidered Zara dress. I’ve worn it to work, and I have to say it was definitely comfortable but not wrinkle friendly. This dress is super versatile which is something I look for when shopping. I can wear it to work, casually on the weekends with sneakers and then to church with a simple flat.

Be on the look out for July 4th outfit inspiration coming this Friday! It’s not too early to start planning your holiday look!

Guys, what is going on with me? All of the outfits I’ve been wearing recently are red, white and pink. This is not the norm!! I’m usually in blue and white head to toe. Maybe it’s time to be introspective.

On another note, these shorts are the bomb! They are super comfy and inexpensive – my favorite combo. Wear them as a swim coverup or out to dinner with an espadrille. You need these in your closet, and share this with someone you think does too!

Thanks for stopping by!

The embroidered trend was huge last year, and it’s back again! I bought this top last spring, and I can’t believe I found an almost identical version a year later. This blouse looks great tucked into high waisted skinny jeans or a flare if you’re feeling the 70’s vibe. I love that I work in a casual office, so that I can have fun and be creative when I get dressed in the morning.

Mix and Match

I love wearing this top with its matching skirt, but why limit yourself? I paired it back to an oldie but a goodie – my distressed skinnies. The high rise accentuates your waist and sucks you in!

I purchased these espadrilles a few weeks ago, and I haven’t taken them off since. Maybe to sleep and shower, but that’s it. They are the perfect height, so I can wear them all day at work and not be in pain. I’m warning you now – you’ll be seeing a lot more of these bad boys this summer.

Thanks for stopping by, and share Sanford Standard with a friend!

I don’t wear graphic tees often, but I keep this one close by. Whether I need an attitude adjustment or am feeling great, it can be the perfect layering piece. Maybe it will even make someone smile.
