Buffalo Check, Check!


Buffalo Check shirt: Zara, via Poshmark (similar here, only $16!) || 
White Button Down: gift (similar here) || Hat: aerie, similar aerie hat here || 
Ring set: c/o Rocksbox (similar here!) || Jeggings: American Eagle Outfitters || 
Fringe bag: Marshalls (similar here) || Sunnies: aerie || Watch: c/o Fossil || Leather jacket: H&M ||
Shoes: Zara, via Poshmark (similar here)

I've had these Zara snakeskin slip-on sneakers on repeat ever since I found them on Poshmark...#sorrynotsorry; they're seriously perfect because they're so unique and cool, and at the same time insanely comfy--perfect for being on my feet all day at work!

And today I found the perfect shirt (also Zara, found on Poshmark), to go with it for a playful mix of patterns: buffalo check and snakeskin for the win!

Both are pieces I probably would have never thought to even buy myself had I not seen them on Poshmark!


I have to admit it, I'm addicted to Poshmark.  I love shopping, and I love the idea that I can sell the clothes I don't wear anymore, and sell them to a girl who would love to rock it for her own closet.  And the fact that it's super easy is an added perk!  ;)



Seriously, everything is done through the app, and because they take a small commission (either $2.95 for items listed under $15, or 20% of anything over $15), Poshmark takes care of the shipping (one of the perks from them taking commission; perfect considering how much it costs to ship things nowadays!), all you have to do is print out the label (and P.S. you can get boxes for FREE from the post office, either if you walk in, or you can order online and have them shipped to your house!).  Even better?  You can schedule pick ups from your house, so you don't even have to shlep to the post office to drop off any packages you're shipping out!  Perfect for my fellow busy bees!



All you need to do is download (for free!  Download here for iPhone, and here for Android), use code PNXBH to get a $10 credit towards your first purchase!





All set?  Round up everything in your closet...if you haven't worn it in forever, even though you convince yourself it might look nice in the future if you can just the right top or bottom to go with it--sell it!  Poshmark is a great way to spring clean your closet and earn some extra money (which you can either get direct deposited into your bank account, or get sent to you as a check)!  It's as easy as taking a picture of the item, writing a brief description, setting a price (that's right, you get to set your prices!), and listing.

There's so many awesome features to the app, that I can't cover them all, but you'll have so much fun playing around with buying and selling!



You can't do a shoot at a park and not swing on the swings, right??  haha :P

Have you downloaded Poshmark yet (remember, to get your $10 credit, used code PNXBH when you sign up!)?  :)

From Happy Hour to 9-5 Chic

Today I took an oldie-but-goodie, faux-leather "going out" top and totally turned it into office chic!


I got this peplum a long time ago (okay, less than six years ago), when I was in college, and from then on it was pretty much only for going out.  But now that I'm out of college, and I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do, and money's tight, I've started to get creative with how I style my clothes and accessories so that I can stretch the wardrobe I have and cut back on buying so many new things.

I paired the peplum with a pair of Old Navy pixie pants (they're extremely comfortable, and totally office worthy; I also own about five pairs, haha) that I've easily worn double what I paid for them, and a plain white button up.  I've come to love layering this simple button up (funny story, this was a hand me down from my little sister--so, hand me up?--but my chest is much bigger than hers, so I can't wear it by itself, so I've taken to layering it with everything!  Check out this Insta, where I layered it with my J. Crew scallop dress--perfect for fall!)


I LOVE my ombré, and this winter, I'm sticking with it... but going in a totally different direction color wise (this gray ombre or this icy blue ombre)!

And the half bun-half down look is easily one of my favorite 'do's.  Depending on how you style your hair (or don't, like I did today #teamnatural), can make your half bun look casual or chic!  Total game changer (and it only takes a few seconds to throw up!).


Berry lips are my favorite for fall (and winter), and I'm in love with this Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain in 'Parisian Passion" (what a name!).  It goes on super easy and doesn't dry out your lips at all; and the color is a bold and rich, jewel tone.

But it's still summer, and one of my favorite summer shades is Essie's 'Butler Please'.  It's the epitome of summertime, and looks like a beautiful ocean blue that makes me wanna go hang out on a beach all day!  And these little Ciatè pearls totally step up my already awesome (and DIY'ed--pat pat on the back, lol) mani.



These metallic oxfords from J. Crew (an awesome find from a few months ago), are an awesome nod to the past, but still look fresh and not stuffy.



What do you guys think of making your night pieces, office-ready?  :)
