You Win: Carrie Underwood



When I see someone wearing an outfit I really like, from head to toe, I always think "you win" in my head. It's weird, I know, but that's how I came up with the title for this particular blog segment. Creating outfits inspired by a celeb look (or people on the street when I see a real winner) will be something I do about once a week.

If you're at a loss for what to wear one of the best places to look for inspiration is a celebrity. Mostly because they have famous stylists helping them dress themselves (though some of them don't look like it. Don't worry, future posts will be based on that sad fact). Carrie Underwood is one of the stars who I think get it right more often than not. This outfit is great because it can go day to night and it's simple. I live in jeans (the last I checked I have about 25 pairs) and they are definitely the best staple in any closet. I like the touch of glitter in her sweater, dressing it up just enough to make it acceptable for a casual date or girls night out. I especially like her wristlet because it's big enough to actually hold what you need and I'm a sucker for anything quilted.

Watermelon and Blue

Summer Blazer

Blazer stylebop.com, floral tank jennyfer.com, white skinny jeans boutique1.com, wooden heels madison-harding, wedge boots sirenshoes.com, chanel vintage quilted bag matches fashion, blue evening bag balenciaga.com, floral faux pearl earrings Lauren Conrad for Kohls, striped blue lady-like dress svpply.com, titanic life ring hill-interiors.com.

There's really nothing better than the summer. Seriously, fire-pits, bbq's, outdoor bars, THE BEACH. The best thing about summer is the clothing, I love the bright colors, girly dresses and sandals. As you read more of my posts you'll come to realize I'm somewhat obsessed with nautical themes (there is an anchor in my banner. There's also one permanently tattooed on my back) and today's post is no different. I love LOVE love navy blue and white striped anything. I also love the idea of pairing the color combo with another bright color whether it be pink, orange, green or red. Just be careful if you go in the orange direction. This blazer is great because it's a blood-red orange, but if you go with something closer to actual orange you may come off looking like a NY Mets cheerleader (if such a thing existed). Now I'm a huge Mets fan, but that doesn't mean I want to walk around looking like I knocked off their uniform.
