Olive Green Jacket
[slideshow_deploy id=’1776′]I wanted to share with you a casual work outfit that I wore this week. I know most professional occupations do not allow you to wear jeans. Although, there are some that do and they must not have any holes or rips on them. My job allows us to dress casual and at times I do miss wearing professional outfits but then at the same time I’m so thankful because I couldn’t imagine not being allowed to wear jeans. I do sometimes wish we were allowed to wear ripped jeans, but that can just wait for my weekend wear. I can’t ask for too much, right?My jeans were super affordable from Nordstrom. I want to say they were around less than $50 when I got them on their annual big sale. It is coming up again, and everyone better be ready because they have some great products at affordable prices that you won’t want to miss out on. I especially like purchasing items for the fall because they are on sale before the season begins.This outfit is super easy to recreate because the top and bottoms are items most of us have in our closet. I actually own a lot of olive green jackets, and I feel like if you don’t have one, you are missing out. I purchased mine a couple of years ago from Styles for Less. It is such an easy item to recreate with different pieces. I also think this outfit would be great with some Nikes and a hat.Don’t forget to check out my Instagram for daily outfit posts.Date Night Look
[slideshow_deploy id=’1720′]
For casual date night looks I love to wear jeans, especially ripped jeans. I usually always wear booties or just comfy footwear, depending on what we are doing. We went to the movies, walked around the mall, and ended the night at Depot with some of our friends. The booties I decided to wear were perfect for the occasion! I was so sad to find out Target no longer has them, but I linked some similar ones I found on eBay. My crossbody bag is from T.J.Maxx
I have a lot of heels, but I don’t always wear them on the daily. The reason I don’t always wear them isn’t because I don’t like to or because I get too tired. On the contrary, I actually don’t wear them ALL the time because I care about the well-being of my feet. That may sound funny to some but if you wear heels every day you are likely to get calluses and blisters, and I am only 22 and I DO NOT want that at all. Usually on date nights or nights with my girlfriends is when I pull out the heels and get the use out of them, but I decided to wear heels on Friday so on Saturday my feet were a little achy from wearing heels two days in a row. That was bad planning on my part!
I am attracted to black because it’s simple, yet makes outfits looks really good. My jacket and sweater are both from OOTDFash and I do have a discount code with them: PATTYG15 for 15% off. I really like my black suede jacket because it is lightweight and perfect for nights that aren’t so cold. I also think it looks like a moto jacket, so it’s a win win in my book!
When you are deciding what to wear on date nights, always think about where you might be going and then work from there. That way you first pick out the appropriate footwear, and then depending if you’re going to be inside or outside you would then start choosing the rest of your outfit. Also, don’t be afraid to work with some color when you wear black. You don’t have to wear all black everything, sometimes with a pop of color looks just as good.
Hope you got some little inspiration for date night looks with this outfit, and feel free to follow me on my other social media to let me know what look you want to see next!

Simple Easter Look
[slideshow_deploy id=’1693′]
I can’t believe how fast Easter got here. Think about it, it’s already been 4 months into the year…crazy! I really hope it stays nice this weekend for some BBQ and egg hunting! I usually spend Easter with my family in Yerington and love seeing how cute my nieces’ outfits are. They are seriously THE cutest!

I wanted to share with you an outfit with some pants because if the weather is bad you can at least stay warm. I paired these pink pants with this off the shoulder top that I purchased last year. I didn’t get much use out of it last year because I purchased it closer to the end of summer, beginning of fall. Anyways, it works perfectly for this spring. Monochromatic colors are very trendy right now, and although I am not much of a “pink” person I do like light shades of pink.
I did want to talk about the heels I am wearing. I also purchased them last year, and linked them to this post, as well as some similar options that I found. I also found some similar ones at my local TJMaxx and Marshalls last year. Don’t be shy and check out other stores in your local area. Many brands are jumping on the bandwagon of trends and coming up with similar affordable styles as well.
I hope everyone has a wonderful time this weekend, whether you celebrate Easter or not. It is always a great time well spent with loved ones. Today is Alonso’s birthday so we are heading out for some dinner. I can’t believe it has been almost 10 years that I have known him. It’s so crazy to think you’ve witnessed someone grow up almost half their life!

Black & White Spring Look
[slideshow_deploy id=’1675′]
I wore this look this past weekend when Alonso and I went out to run some errands. I actually wore some smaller heels or else I couldn’t walk around the whole day like this. I still think it is appropriate to wear black and white in the spring. It may seem too dark for some, but I feel if you add some type of light color to the outfit, like white, you can make it work. We all know how much we love black because we can pair it with pretty much anything.
I purchased my heels from Charlotte Russe about a year or two ago for such an affordable price. I like how mine are really affordable dupes for this pair from Valentino for $1,045. My pair were probably under $30, if I recall. I also linked some similar ones that are affordable.
My jeans are boyfriend jeans that are also from Charlotte Russe. I picked them up in a bigger size, which I regret. I like skinny jeans but sometimes they are too tight if you know what I mean. However, since these were boyfriend jeans I should have known they would be big on me.
If you ever want to find dupes for items you see are trending, I suggest you look at online stores. They always try to carry some of the items that are popular. Some of my favorite stores are Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, OOTDFash, and also Lulu’s. Don’t be afraid to try a new place out!

Spring Wish List from MISSGUIDED
[slideshow_deploy id=’1636′]
I am such a big fan of a new season, especially spring or fall, of course. I just love the warmer weather where it’s not too hot nor too cold, you know what I mean? So I decided to put a little wish list together for this new season. I have been stalking Missguided’s website for awhile now because they have such cute pieces. I want to purchase all the items I mention to you today, but I want to wait until I for sure know Reno isn’t going to have a snowstorm. This crazy weather is very unpredictable!
First off, let’s talk about this cute skirt. I saw it and was completely in aw! It is perfect for spring, especially for Easter. I love the light neutral shades because they scream for spring. This skirt is perfect because you can wear it for church, to work (if it’s not too short on you), or on special occasions where you just want to be put together. I think this skirt would look great if paired with a cute white or light colored blazer and some nude heels!
This off the shoulder top is a must for my wish list. The colors, the details, it is just an over all beautiful top. I love how tops like this look great paired with jeans or even shorts, and even a cute denim skirt. Off the shoulder tops were very popular last year and I still feel they will continue to be a trend this spring and summer.
White jeans are a top on my wish list because I seriously can’t keep a pair for more than a couple of months. I always have to get them dirty with some type of food. They are hard to keep clean to be completely honest. However, this pair of white jeans are making my list because they are not only skinny but they have a little ripped patch. If you follow me, you know how much I love ripped jeans. White jeans are essential for spring because they stay with the neutral shade colors and you can always wear white with anything. You always want to purchase those items that are versatile and you can pair them with anything so you can get the most for your buck.
Lastly, these sandals are way too cute to not want to purchase. The studded sandals are pretty trendy and I love how they make a statement. If you were to pair these sandals, with the white jeans, and the off the shoulder top, you have yourself a perfect spring look! (I might just make a blog post on it haha). Try searching for neutral shoes for this spring season so you can pair them with pretty much anything.
So that wraps up my small wish list from Missguided, at the moment. Missguided has really cute pieces, I hope you get some little inspiration on what they currently have in stock. Tweet me on my Twitter some pieces that you want on your wish list for this spring!
