Mix It: The Vintage Tee

I've defined my style as Classic Casual. What is more classic or casual than the t-shirt? Today, I'm linking up with Lauren from Fizz and Frosting to show you 2 ways to style a vintage tee.

 

 

I wore this the other day to run errands and to the salon. The heels weren't the best choice for running around town; flats would have definitely been better.

 



This look would be more appropriate for drinks with girlfriends, while the other is more of a day look. The addition of the blazer gives it a more pulled together appearance. You can see the original post here.

Kris and I have been married for 2 years today. Today also marks the 7th anniversary of our first date. I can hardly believe it has been that long since we first met.

Our wedding day was beautiful. We were married in Seaside, FL. It was perfect. Here are some of my favorite pictures all taken on 30A by John Shim. You can see more photos here.

Mixing Prints & Fall Boots

I loved wearing this polka dot skirt in the spring and summer, and I wasn't quite ready to put it away for fall, So in a effort to keep it fresh and on trend, I added gingham, layers, and ankle boots. I wore this to church the other day, and I was pretty proud of myself for mixing prints and trends in a way that didn't make me feel like a child trying to dress herself. Which, let's be honest, happens more often than not.

Gingham & Sweater: J.Crew Factory (similar, exact)
Skirt: Target (similar)
Boots: Nine West (similar)

Military & Plaid

 

It's Style Statement time again, and I'm so happy to be wearing fall clothes! I think I feel most like myself in fall and winter clothes, and I can always find things that fit my Style Statement* this time of year. Like this classic plaid shirt paired with a trendy military vest, love!

Style Statement Tuesday

Style Statement Tuesday was started almost exactly one year ago. It has been a place to share my outfit inspirations and has helped me define my style. But more than that, it has been a place where I've met so many wonderful people who have linked up every week. I can't web begin to say how grateful I am for everyone who has faithfully shared their posts with me.

That being said, as I am deciding where exactly I want this blog to go, I have decided to end the link up associated with Style Statement Tuesday, at least for now. I really want to take some time and refocus my style posts, i.e. do a better job. I am not 100% sure if I'll continue to post SST posts every week, but trust me when I say they are still going to be a part of Love and Loyally. 

So without further adieu, here is what I've got for you this week, a montage of the good, the bad, and the ugly of SST.

This week is all about fall. In my opinion, which happens to be the only one that counts on this here blog, fall begins September 1. That's 19 days.

Here are some looks I'm loving that I think fit my Classic Casual style statement.

 

I love the simplicity of this look. It's casual, yet put together. Always a win in my book.

 

The hat in this outfit really appeals to me. I have a similar hat, and I am always looking to ways to style it.

 

I love this vest. I know faux fur is kind past its prime, but I dig it. What can I say?

 

The idea of adding a sparkly top under a blazer is so chic! The jeans tone it down just enough to make me want to wear something similar.

 

Who doesn't die for a pink coat? I definitely want one for fall!
