I mentioned at the start of the week I’m heading to a paper crafting convention this weekend. I’m over the moon excited to meet up with my crafty ladies! Today I’m happy to share the look I’ll be sporting while away on my mini vacay.
Plus give you a chance to WIN my nautical inspired jewelry look from Beck and Boosh.
I’m slightly hesitant to talk fashion, because I don’t think of myself as trendy. I like to keep up with the haute looks, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that my body type will flatter them (ie. the crop top is big this spring, can’t see this body workin’ that?!)
Recently I seen this sign in a Reitman’s store and it kinda spoke to me…
and that is when I realized that fashion and style aren’t only for people that are 7 feet tall and have well defined cheek bones.
It’s about feeling confidant and rocking your look.
Without further ado, check out my flattering, effortless, sexy, modern, totally comfortable convention style!
Day 1 Outfit- I’m mixing a few older pieces with some new. I picked up this Gap Chambray dress in the fall, but then the snow fell soon after and it certainly wasn’t dress weather, I’m just pulling it back out! Banana Republic has a few similar Chambray dresses right now. Pairing it with my Old Navy coral cardi, Call It Spring Leather boot, and a Jo-Totes Betsy camera bag (you know I’ll be snap happy this weekend). To complete my Day#1 outfit I’ve chose 4 pieces from Beck and Boosh– Anchor Studs, Feather Wrap Around Bracelet, and an Anchor necklace.
Day 2 Outfit- I also got this little Aeropostale blazer in the fall and haven’t given it much love, this sleeves were a bit long but a quick hem and its back in business! I recently discovered these Curvy Fit Skinny Jeans from Smart Set, they are roomy in all the right places, but still perfectly skinny! Plus I got the Embroidered Peplum Top from Smart Set too. Cute Ankle boots from Aldo, and a mint handbag from Heys. I’m layering the Beck and Boosh Anchor and Starfish necklaces with this outfit, double awesome!
Lets be honest here, there is a good chance that Day 3 (drive 4 hours home day) is going to be yoga pants and a tee!

What a great sense of style you have. I’m doing a scrapbook of my life and a recurring theme is my lack of a sense of style. My mother had it in spades, even when in her late 80s so maybe it’s not too late for me.
Virginia says
Thanks Marlene! Be comfortable, and add a bit of color!
