New for Me: Maxi

Haven't ever hopped on this maxi train.  I am so weary of the whole thing.

Will I look short? fat?

Will it all fall in the toilet when I go the bathroom? (that's a lot to gather up if you know what I mean)

Will I trip over it?

You get the picture.

But Target sold me on the one for $17.99 (buy here)

I am diggin' it.

Probably not an every day trend for me, but I will say I seriously underestimated the comfort level of these things.

All jewelry is forever21 (duh!!!) with the exception of the heart bracelet (below) which is Brighton, and given to me for college graduation.  I can't believe I have already been out for two years....how time flies.

 

 

What NEW (to you) fashion trend have you tried recently?

 

If you haven't get out there, it's more fun that one would think!!!!

White Pants 2.0

So I have been loving my white jeans recently, remind me why I shied away from these before?

Went out to a dinner with some friends last night and had to do a quick change from work :( to play :)

Here is what I came up with:

Jeans: Express (buy here)

Shirt: Brass Plum (Nordstrom) from for-ev-er ago, I hardly wear it.

Jean Jacket: GAP from even for-ev-er-er ago (read circa 2002?)

Shoes: Steve Madden (Thanks Zappos, you rock!) Also 2 years ago

Bracelets: Black- Nordstrom Brass Plum, Bangles Forever 21 (similar here)

I guess I am really dating my wardrobe.  I swear not everything I own is that old, but I guess it was just throw back day.  Hope you all had a great Friday.  Our night ended less than seven hours ago so you know it was a success.

Necklace :/ Redvelvet :)

Bought this necklace (similar here) weeks ago, and have yet to wear it.  Put it on today to dress up this simple 3/4 tee.  Not quite sure how I feel about it, but I gave it a try.  Thinking it might look better with black top, or maybe a collared number, but I really can't decide.

Help? How would one go about wearing this??

Here is one thing I felt really good about....

 

And I ate it the sandwich, 'Kaylin', way:

This is the easiest way to eat a cupcake- a perfect frosting to cake ratio!!!

Business Casual Work Shorts?

I have been saving these in the depths of my closet until the weather was finally hot enough to wear them.

Well hello 80 degrees, and hello work 'dress' shorts? My question is- DO THEY WORK???

I am always trying to find ways to alter the standard 'business wear'- make it more comfortable, stylish, fun, etc. But I am thinking these might be toeing the line. I found them at TJ Maxx for $15, and they are Banana Republic which gave me the affirmation that yes some serious women wear these, so go ahead, buy 'em. I am just so tired of wearing the standard long skirts or capris to work in the late spring and summer.


They are totally comfortable, still conservative, and Banana Republic soooooo let me know what you think- Okay for work, yes or no?

P.S. Remember all those fabulous Spring accessories I found at forever 21? (See here) Well like I thought when I bought them, the earrings are wayyy more my speed feather- less :)

My beau and I are going out for dinner tonight (insert fancy martini drink/cocktail and excuse to wear my new dress here) to a restaurant we have never been too.

I'm excited.

It's sunny and beautiful here. I hope you all are having a great weekend.
