The Character Sweater

Wednesday, May 4, 2016









Sweater- Boohoo, similar here & here // Vest- Windsor, splurge or save // Denim- Nordstrom Rack // Shoes- Banana Republic, splurge or save // Sunglasses- Charming Charlie // Earrings- Old, similar here; Banana Republic, love these // Bracelets-  Nordstrom Rack, similar here; Nordstrom Rack, similar here; Essentially Raine

As Joanna Gaines would say, "It just needs more character"; my thoughts exactly on this sweater. It's just a simple plain black sweater but the criss cross detail in the back makes it have so much character. Unfortunately it's out of stock but I see a similar style pop up on Boohoo.com every few months. You're time will come my friend, I promise.

It's the beginning of May and the trees are still bare, it's between forty and fifty degrees, and it has been raining all.week.long. It just proves that Jesus made me a southern girl at heart who needs the opposite of all those things. But He's also proven that He is a trustworthy and faithful guy who knows what he's doing; therefore, keep the rain coming Jesus!

Floral & Georgia Peach

Friday, July 10, 2015









Top- Old, similar here & here (use code lstf10 at checkout for an extra 10% off)
Skirt- Shop Dress Up, similar
Shoes- Lulu's [similar]
Earrings- Old, similar
Bracelets- Charming Charlie, Altar'd State, gift (similar below)

One of my goals for this blog is to show you how to style items over and over again. Because let's be real here, ain't nobody got time or money to wear a brand new item every single day. Therefore, I am wearing this skirt for I think the third time on LSTF. A few years ago my dad told me a standard I needed to own skirts. I had to get rid of all my skirts and start all over again. This was one of the first new skirts I bought, and I never thought I would get so much wear out of this georgia peach. 

In other words, I'm sure you all know about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!! You can shop it right now if you are a Nordstrom debit/credit card holder. But the rest of us are going to have to wait until July 16th. I will be back with a round up of my favorite things from the sale later. 

Thanks for reading, y'all are the best! xo

White Tassel Tank

Friday, June 19, 2015






Top- Francesca's [similar here & here]
Denim- Forever 21
Shoes- DSW
Sunnies- Charming Charlie
Earrings- Old, similar
Bracelet- Susie Raine

When I reviewed these pictures the only thing that came to my mind was that they looked like those typical family beach pictures. You know, those white tops and khakis at sunset in the sand dunes pictures? 

The thing that drawed me to purchasing this top was the tassels on the end of the strings. It's white, flowy/light weight, a tank, and has tassels. It's the definition of a summer top!

I'm That Person

Thursday, June 11, 2015










Top- Francesca's [other options here, here, here, & here]
Shorts- American Eagle
Shoes- Shop Dress Up [identical]
Sunnies- Charming Charlie
Earrings- Old, similar
Necklace- J Crew Factory
Rings- Charming Charlie: 1 & 2
Lips- Lipstick in 'Fleshpot'; Gloss in 'Turkish Delight'

You know those glorious after Christmas sales? Well that's when I grabbed this top. I found it on the rack by itself and haven't been able to find one like it since. I got it solely for Gamecock baseball season; even though it isn't exactly garnet (; 

Speaking of baseball.... the Cape Cod baseball league season has finally begun! I really want to go to a game, but I have yet to meet someone who actually likes baseball. Therefore, I will probably end up being that person who goes to a baseball game by themselves. But I have Jesus so it's totally okay, right?

Altar'd State Crushin'

Monday, June 1, 2015
























Dress- Altar'd State
Sandals- Shop Dress Up [similar]
Bag- Kate Spade
Earrings- Old, similar

First off, I just want to point out that yes, there are a lot of pictures in this post. Believe it or not I actually have more that I had to hold myself back from posting. My mom is just that good at photography people! 

Second of all, I am crushing hard on Altar'd State! I found out they opened a store in Columbia, SC last year but I wasn't able to stop by. But thankfully I was able to in May #PTL. They are a Christian store and one of their main focuses is to give back; you can read more about that here. Therefore, I am all about supporting them. I don't know what's more of a win than supporting a great company and getting amazing clothes out of it!

This dress is a little too short for my liking, so I just changed it to a "long tunic" style with white shorts underneath. It's amazing for those burning hot, sweaty days, because it's loose and flowy and won't stick to you. 

Thanks for reading, y'all! xo
