Love is in the Air

Hey y'all! I apologize for the delayed blog posts! I was out of power for a few days followed by a weekend getaway to the mountains - but I'm back!

With Valentine's Day in the air, I wanted to post an outfit that everyone can wear this weekend whether you're grabbing dinner with your man or drinks with your girlfriends! I've recently been into the peplum shirt (even though they've been in style for over a year) - they look great both dressed up & casual!

Top: Forever 21 ; Pants: New York & Company 

Shoes: Shoe Dazzle
Necklace: I Am; Earrings: Express

This look is simple yet fun all thanks to the peplum top. And not to mention this particular style attracts statement necklaces (yet another recent obsession of mine!) I chose to pair the bright red top with black skinny jeans to make it more of a romantic and dressy feel. Because of the "flare" on the bottom of the top, a skinny or straight leg pant best compliments the shirt. But feel free to try it out with other styles - everybody's body is different!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Winter Wonderland

Looks like Punxsutawney Phil was right when he said we have 6 more weeks of winter. But don't let the winter blues get in the way of having fun with your wardrobe!

Lately, I've had an obsession with ponchos. Ponchos are a great staple for late Fall & Winter because they are practical and fashionable. I tend to pair my poncho (as seen below) with cotton leggings and riding boots but they also pair well with jeans - patterned or colored. Throw on a pair of heeled booties and you're good to go (and not to mention your legs will look a lot longer!)

Note: I have seen belts used with ponchos. Personally, belting this material can cause fabric to bunch and does not always flatter your figure.  If you can make it work, go for it! 




 

Poncho: Ann Taylor Loft; Leggings: VS PINK; Hat: Old Navy; Shoes: DSW; Long sleeve shirt: Old Navy

Since my poncho is thick & made of wool, leggings seemed most appropriate (& comfortable.) It crossed my mind pairing with dark brown riding boots instead of black but black just seemed appropriate.

As far as accessories, I decided to add a black cloche hat. It helps to bring the entire ensemble together since there is not a statement piece and the color scheme is rather dark. Because of how ponchos fall, it can be difficult to use your every day purse. I recommend using either a handbag or a smaller cross-body purse (underneath poncho.) 

If you do not own a poncho, I highly recommend purchasing one. With Spring collections working their way into stores, you can definitely score a great deal!

Please send any questions to StyleSavvyx89@gmail.com - I would love to answer them!

Stay warm!

Introduction

Hi All! Before it all begins, I would like to take a moment to introduce myself and give a background on why I am starting a style blog.

My name is Molly and I am 24 years young. Born & raised in Pennsylvania, I've never lived anywhere else! I grew up outside of Scranton (yes, The Office!), graduated from Penn State University with a degree in Public Relations (We Are!) and now residing outside of Philadelphia with my boyfriend, Brendan & cat, Jack :)


I decided to begin a style blog because for as long as I can remember and still to this day, I never have anything to wear! I  wear an outfit, take pictures with my friends and never have an interest to wear it again (I am 99.9% sure I am not the only one who feels this way.) It wasn't until I created an account with Pinterest and made my first style board where I realized it's ok to mix and match outfits and wear them to a variety of functions including social & professional.


Though it is fun to mix and match your closet, a girl still needs her retail therapy. But when you're 20 something years old and on a budget, killer sales become one of your best friends. I'm gonna be completely honest .. I shop .. a lot and living & working just minutes from one of the largest malls in America can be a love/hate relationship at times. I've learned to stay within my budget and still dress great and that is what I want to share with my followers.


Please feel free to leave any questions or comments you may have or e-mail me at StyleSavvyx89@gmail.com :)


Enjoy!
