My go-to winter outfit


At the end of my intro post I featured a photo of my current favorite outfit! 



Wine Colored Scarf - Forever 21 ($7)

Top- Express Sleeveless portofino (I purchased this top at an Express Factory Outlet for just $6!! I wear it with everything and typically layer a black cami underneath)

Jeans- Express low rise skinnies 

Shoes - Gray boots from Shoe Carnival ($20) 

Weather here has been so off and on, it's January and we've only seen snow once. Outside is too cold, inside is too hot ... So I just toss on my favorite gray Roxy cardigan to brave the elements 





Express 50% off Clearance Sale Haul

I've admittedly done a little damage with after Christmas shopping.... 

With the colder weather I love to take my son out to the mall. He gets to wave at people and I get to walk around and shop. I treat shopping like a game/treasure hunt! Where can I find the best deal?? I'm always scouring through the Express clearance racks... And it totally paid off!!! 


First up, I purchased 2 of the split back tanks for about $11 each. I'm really excited to wear these in the spring/summer. If I'm confident enough maybe I will rock them without an undershirt since they aren't too sheer. I was hoping to get them in medium, but the smalls fit well enough that I couldn't leave them behind. 


I also ended up with a feather print zip racerback tank for $19 and a front zip striped tank for $11ish... The front zip tanks are among my favorite express shirts and they come in a variety of colors. 

Among my shopping goodies, I also scored one of the slub knit cold shoulder shirts in black $9. I already own one in white but when I saw this on sale I HAD to grab it too. I'm one of those people that if I find something I love, I own it in every colors. 

Lastly, I picked up 2 of the strappy front Camis in ivory and berry. I will be sure to post photos of these paired with some of my outfits! The strappy detailing adds such a sexy touch. 

Example of the fit, in white 


Most of these have been moved to "in-store only" on the Express website, so you may have to do some digging at your local store. But many of them, along with similar styles, can be found online. 

Happy shopping!!! Comment and tell me your favorite express finds, or if you have also went a little crazy with the after Christmas sales 

Not just for grandma



Hello Internet, 

When I think of polyester, I think of the not-so-fashionable material of choice for grandmothers. However, it is my FAVORITE material. Half of what is hanging in my closet is some form of polyester or chiffon. It's the perfect flowy, light weight, and easy to wash material. Being that it is my favorite, it was the inspiration for my blog name.... Rest assured many other forms of clothing will make appearances. My love of denim will be evident in almost all of my posts. I'm a sucker for cute sweatshirts and fall clothing. Fall/Winter are my favorite seasons for fashion, but Spring will be coming soon and so I will be branching out with new looks in an effort to gain confidence.

 Having had a baby this last year (8 months ago to be exact), I'm just hoping to find love in my new body and feel confident enough to wear fun and trendy pieces. 

I will also be recreating looks inspired by my favorite celebrities, Instagram, bloggers, and Pinterest. This is mainly just a hobby. A place to catalogue outfit ideas and try new things. A form of expression, and an excuse to shop more :P With more shopping will come hauls and a few heads up on sales from my favorite stores. 

What else?? 
-Among my posts, I hope to do some teacher inspired looks. It's hard to find cute business professional looks.

-Dressing room try-on photos will be inevitable. 

-Recipes, organization tips, and book recommendations may also make guest appearances :) 

I will post links to my Instagram/Pinterest accounts in future posts
