Good Bye Harvest Thyme!!!

Today is the day that we have taken down all of our harvest themed decorations in preparation for the Christmas season. It's a tight fit inside those boxes though! Every year, my mom buys more decorations for each season, and this year it looks like we'll need to start a third box of fall decorations.:)

I have a typical go-to look for when I'm working on the house- a T-shirt and some jeans or jean shorts. Normally I don't put my hair up, but today I did.;) Are you getting ready for Christmas yet?

Denim Outerwear

I love to use my button down shirts as a cardigan. All you do is unbutton your shirt and throw it on whatever you have on! Try it out and see if you like the look. Let me know what you think!

How to Wear Summer Dresses and Skirts in the Winter

To get more mileage out my closet, I don't store away my summer clothing when cold weather arrives. Instead, I add layers to keep myself warm. I've already shown you how you can keep using your shorts and tank tops in the winter, but now I'm going to show you how I use my summer dresses and skirts in the winter. I add leggings and an outerwear item to stay warm- and stay stylish! Then, instead of sandals, I wear boots. Or maybe you could try sneakers, like in the casual look! I also love adding a top over a dress to have it masquerade as a skirt. Tops like sweaters are especially nice in the winter. Have you ever tried putting a top over a dress before?

Thanksgiving is Tomorrow!!!

Hey everyone! I can't believe that tomorrow is Thanksgiving! This year, certain members of my family and I have been making little strips of paper with the things we are grateful for on them, and then taping them to a cabinet in our house. Everybody has their own assigned color, so you can see who is thankful for what. Anyways, tomorrow is going to be such fun! We're going to my aunt's house to celebrate. Do you know what you're going to wear for your Thanksgiving celebration? I do! Or at least, I have the general idea.;) I'll show you soon!

Why don't you take a picture of your super cool outfit and send it to me at uniquelyyou4ever@gmail.com I could make your look into an outfit post!

Sparkles and Studs

Sparkles-
Sparkles and studs are two of the world's favorite trends of today. I have a love for sparkle and so does Kendra, something about the glitter, shine, glimmer, shimmer, sparkle, and twinkle on any item, makes me happy. If you look in my closet you'll find multiple sparkly clothes including my "glitter is my favorite color" T, my bedazzled skinny jeans, my tutu, and so much more. Sparkles are so cute cause they go with almost everything. They also will be so adorable for the upcoming holidays!

Studs-
Studs are so cool cause they give you that biker look of "don't mess with me." But even though they have a tough appearance, they give you a nice edge to whatever you're wearing. Add a cool vibe to boots with these sharp pyramids, and maybe your next buy will be a leather jacket with studs sewn into the pocket. These 3D triangles are super fun to play around with, so think of them and make one of your buys unique and unexpected with these studs! Hang out 'cause my next post will be about lace! Have a great Thanksgiving!

A Fashionable Christmas and Thanksgiving Time!

Hey guys! This is Emma, even though the profile I'm on is Kendra's. I am so excited for Christmas! All the Christmas decor, trees growing, and the weather. I love this weather, usually we have lots of weather above 80. Ugh! But now we have many days that are under 70 degrees. Yay! Thanksgiving is only a few days away. I love the mashed potatoes, the ham, the gravy, and stuffing other than all the desserts. This year we are going to go over to my aunt's house to celebrate Thanksgiving. She makes the best gooey butter cake ever! Other than my b-day I love Christmas. Our tradition is to eat Cinnabon cinnamon rolls and orange juice on Christmas day. What is your family tradition? This is kind of random, but I love pattern play. I've made an outfit today with pattern play. My brother Parker is included in some of these photos.

Then they have to find a new territory, and they find another colony of rabbits and think that they're good and stuff, but then they realize that this colony of rabbits is like a cult. So they have to take over the leader to help the other colony of rabbits so that they can have a happy life.”

McK: “Hmm... I actually have a lot of pieces of clothing with sentimental value. I guess it would be this shirt my grandma and I are making together.”

This is what is called a "Trash Can Lid" or something at Famous Dave's

The meal that my mom and I split- BBQ pork and chicken!
And this is what I wore through the entire day!



I hope you enjoyed hearing about this super fun day of mine! I hope you have an equally fantastic day.:)

Style Inspiration- Cardigan Outfit

Hey everyone!:) Sorry I haven't posted in so long! I'm starting to lose track of time. But here's your style inspiration for today. Today is looking kinda gloomy, so this outfit will be perfect for inspiration today! The bright colors will wake up an overcast day, and the layers and long sleeves will keep me warm. What do you think? Have a great day!

You Had Me at Bonjour

Weather dictates to us what we should wear that day. The weather today was on again off again rain. For the past few days, the weather has been cold first thing in the morning, then progressively gets warmer. When these days occur, I tend to choose something with layers that I can remove as the day goes along. Like this outfit I wore last Friday. You like?;)

How to Wear Sweater Skirts

Hey everybody! I've seen that a lot of people have been wanting to find out how to wear sweater skirts.:) So, I thought I would give you a step-by-step guide.

HOW TO WEAR PATTERNED SKIRTS

1.) Choose your skirt.

2.) Find a color in your skirt that you would use for your shirt. If you don't own a shirt in that color, try a different color, or buy a shirt in that color. (If you want some help, let me know! I'll do some shopping for u!;)

3.) Tuck your shirt into your skirt. Slip on tights or leggings in a corresponding color. You can choose another color from the skirt, use the same color you used for your shirt, or use a neutral color.

4.) Wear boots/booties with the outfit. Add a great purse in either a corresponding or contrasting color for some fun!

5.) Add some fun accessories- a cardigan, a blazer, jewelry, a belt, a scarf, or maybe fingerless gloves!

6.) If your skirt is a solid color, just choose a top that is patterned and corresponds or contrasts with the skirt. Or, you could do a solid top and then use a patterned blazer or cardigan. Or you can colorblock your look.:)
Here's an example, although the top is an example of pattern play-

Cute Finds!


Hey guys! I'm going to give you some cute ideas for the cold weather that will hopefully inspire you! All of these adorable peices came from Kohls.com.

This sweater is adorable and easy to wear- pair with black skinny jeans, yellow bag, and navy/black knee-high boots.




 
This knit sweater would look daring and bold paired with gray jeans, red converse, and a yellow bag.




 
This classic item would be perfect with white skinny jeans, a purple bag, and black ankle boots.



 
Simple sweater, but the easiest piece of your closet to style, pair with white skinny jeans, sparkly flats, and a yellow purse.

 
There are so many other designs for this shirt at Kohls like houndstooth, skulls, polka dots, stars, and hearts.



 
This long sweater coat looks great with denim skinny jeans, a pair of wedges, and a yellow purse.


This sweater is super preppy which I love. All you need to do is add with denim jeans and converse.


 
This sweater is very comfy and you can pair with ANYTHING!

 
I hope you have a great night! Stay tuned for tomorrow- when I return from my shopping trip!
