Camo + Gingham

{cardigan: old navy | shirt: aeropostale | jeans: nyc tripp | moccasins: minnetonka}

I'm a copycat. An internet copycat. While I hate copying in "real life," (like a 7-year-old), the internet is just bustling with an overwhelming amount of style inspiration, and sometimes, I can't help but totally steal it. When I saw this look on Seersucker and Saddles last week, I just knew I had to give this print mixing a try! I added a cardigan (cause it was chilly) and went with my favorite moccasins, because 1) I don't have bright blue shoes and 2) Heels don't work for my job, however... I think I tweaked that fabulous inspiration to fit my own style, and I love it! Camo is the new neutral!

Foxy!

Are you impressed by my very creative post title? Anyway...

I love this sweater! I love an animal print! My friend Jenna posted a photo of her Nordstrom haul on Instagram awhile ago, and I caught a sneak peek of this beautiful little fox! I texted her immediately, and she located the only ONE piece left in the company, and ordered it in for me! I'm so lucky to have a great pal who is great at her job at my favorite store!

Blue Blue Blue

{Shirt: Aeropostale | Belt & Skirt: Target | Necklace: ILY Couture | Flats: Tory Burch | Watch: Nordstrom}

This outfit made me happy. Royal blue is my 2nd favorite color. (Does my inner preschooler come out when I say that?) It's also probably my favorite color to wear. A royal blue buffalo check shirt? Yes. A royal blue skirt? Yes. A royal blue slide? Apparently, yes.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, a bubble necklace is the perfect addition to basically every outfit. Can I collect them in every color? Maybe. Am I going to try? Yes.

Pre-Flu.

{Shirt: J. Crew | Sweater & Belt: Nordstrom | Jeans: Urban Outfitters | Flats: Tory Burch

I wore this last week, before I got hit smack-dab in the face by the flu. I've never gotten a flu shot, but I'm thinking that years and years of wiping snotty noses has caught up with me, and I may need to get one next season.

Though you may not be able to tell by the washed-out face in these photos (thank you very much, almost-broken camera), and though it's hard for me to believe, I once wasn't a bed-ridden sickling.

There's something about a button-down/pullover/skinny belt combination that is just classic and makes me feel good. I'm not sure it screams "Dani!" but I do think it's a flattering look!

Now, back to my liquid diet...

The Big 2-5

{Shirt: Luna | Skirt: Babooshka etsy shop | Black socks worn as tights: Steve Madden | Red socks: We Love Colors | Wedges: Modcloth | Bracelets: Betsey Johnson (gift), Tory Burch (gift), J. Crew | Watch: Nordstrom}

On Saturday night, some friends and I went to Sgt. Pepper's Dueling Pianos in Long Beach to celebrate my 25th birthday! After trying on approximately 500 different outfits on, I went for this mixed pattern look. I think if I start planning my outfit for the big 2-6 now, I MIGHT be able to figure something out sometime over the next 365 days. Suggestions welcome, in advance.

I'm also guest posting today over at The In-Between! Check it out!

By the way... Have you entered my Shabby Apple Cameo Necklace Giveaway yet?

Switcheroo! (19/30)

{Shirt: J. Crew | Skirt: F21 | Tights & Bow : Target | Boots: Steve Madden | Necklace: Nordstrom | Coat: BB Dakota}

 Surprise! I chose to swap out one of my unworn 30x30 items for this skirt! Some print AND some color - not to mention an exposed zipper - just what I've been needing! Despite a few confused looks I received today over my mixed prints, I enjoyed this outfit today.

I also wanted to show you all the coat I throw on over my outfits everyday. It's nice and cozy and I love the print. I also thought I'd show you one of my kitties (Owen) - the one who doesn't sneak his way into every one of my pictures.

I liked this outfit a lot this morning. The shirt's always great, the shorts are super comfy, and the shoes are easy. However, after a few minutes lifting and chasing after 3-year-olds, the belt came off, the shirt came untucked, and I could breathe a bit more easily. C'est la vie.

This necklace is another super-special one! This comes from my other grandma (Bubbie). This is actually a pin/brooch, and if you turn it clockwise to the right, you can see her lowercase initials (e.s.) patterned into the diamonds. I'm quite happy to wear an accessory with real meaning to its history.

My double-finger ring, shoes, and belt are items I've had for quite the while, and to be honest, I can't quite recall where any of them came from:

P.S. I couldn't come up with a clever title for this post for the life of me. Oopsie.

Queer Eye For The Straight Gal... (6/30)

{Blouse: UO | Sweater: Nordstrom | Blazer: Alloy | Jeans: Hudson | Flats: Steve Madden}

Today, I was told that I look like two very important American icons: Raggedy Ann and Carson Kressley. I'm more partial to the latter. I literally looked in the mirror this morning and thought, "I look like a gay man." I have to tell you, ain't nothin' wrong with that. Dandy-riffic.

In other news, my blazer was worn today because of today's Everybody, Everywear project. February 8 was designated classic blazer day! Hope you enjoyed my twist. Please click the badge below to check out the site, and to see how other fabulous gals styled their blazers!
