My Spring Capsule Wardrobe is Complete!

My Spring Capsule Wardrobe is Complete!

Spring is here, even though it doesn’t feel like it outside yet. I’m super excited about my Spring Capsule Wardrobe. This whole thing is a learning experience. I’m a shopper and usually, just buy whatever I think will make me happy. With a capsule wardrobe, I’ve had to learn to be a lot more intentional on the things I purchase, not only for my Spring wardrobe but for all my capsule wardrobes as select items will be used interchangeably throughout each season.  Below I’ve walked you briefly through my process on how I choose my color scheme, budget, and the…

Snow Daze

Snow Daze

  One of the best things about having a Capsule Wardrobe is that it really forces you to think outside the box when it comes to putting together outfits. After my husband dug us out of the house we decided to get out and enjoy this beautiful snow day. Usually, I would throw on a sweatshirt and some jeans, but this year I’ve told myself that I want to make a concentrated effort to get out of that “grad student” funk when it comes to outfits. So, I decided to to wear my faux leather leggings that I picked up…

2016 Beauty, Fashion, and Lifestyle Goals

Last year I found a fully functional handbag that change my life. At this time, I was using three methods of transportation to get to the lab, my car, the train (two stops), and then my feet to carry me the rest of the way. I’d been using a backpack, but I wanted something that screamed “I am a working Woman” more so than I’m on my way to class.

Wide Calf Boots for Calves 17″ and Up!

Wide Calf Boots for Calves 17″ and Up!

  Fall is my absolute most favorite time of the year.The humidity stops messing up my hair. I don’t have to worry about thigh or boob sweat and I can finally pull out all my cute comfortable clothes. The one thing I do despise about Fall is the absolute disregard that companies have for women of the wide calf kind.  Everywhere I look, in every magazine, in every catalog there are boots galore, however, there seems to be a complete disregard for women who need wide calf boots! Seriously, let’s just stop with the lies. A circumference of 16″ does…
