After I finished my masters in 2015, I had a void. I like to think of myself as a lifelong learner. One way I filled that void was finding interesting podcasts to listen to fill my Monday-Friday commute. Side note, I am considering adding a podcast review to my blog lineup (if that's something y'all are interested in). Speaking of entertaining podcasts, I have found a new one! I was recently listening to my new favorite podcast, The Millennial Homemakers, where they were talking all about personal style. They posted the question, what are three words to describe your style? I did some internal reflection and made a list of the words that came to my mind and narrowed it down to three. My style can be summed up as girlie, bold and whimsical. I think that my next closet clean up I will incorporate these words when deciding to keep, sell, recycle or give away a particular article of clothing.
This outfit is a perfect example of girlie and bold style working together. When I saw this skirt online, I knew this vintage berry was for me! Being a wool blend, it's the perfect weight to transition into fall and winter. I also love that elastic pull-on skirts are not just for summer! The length is ideal for the office or for date night, and the ruffles give it a playful feel.
In college, I discovered I had a gift of creeping on social media. Let's not lie to ourselves, we all know we have been guilty of falling down this rabbit hole from time to time. I have put this to use when finding a sold-out item of clothing that I didn't get my hands on. This button-down from J.Crew is a prime example of that. I combed through thredUP like a crazy girl stalking her recruitment crush on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Not gonna lie, I was totally guilty of that at one point in my life.
I know that some people might find these backless loafer mules obnoxious, but my Hello Kitty pink obsessed heart is overflowing with joy! These have been flying out of the shoe section at Target; you might be lucky to find them online. If not, you might want to call your best friend who lives near a Target, I am sure you can sweet talk her into helping you find these. Hey, isn't that what Vinmo is for? These pink mules can drive home a head-to-toe pink outfit or be the bold pop of color with an all-black lineup. You can dress them for work or for a casual weekend trip to brunch. If you end up getting them, I would love to see how you style them, tag me in your #ootd post.
