Joel and I had an amazing time getting our photos taken by our very talented photographer, <a href="http://jennhoffmanphotography.com/" target="_blank">Jenn Hoffman</a>. We even danced around a bit, as you can see in this photo. </div>

With the Fall colors were just beginning to show during our engagement session, so naturally, I opted for this burnt orange sheath dress with brown accessories to correspond well with the natural colors. Joel's yellow tie also popped well. I purchased these Aldo boots specifically for our photos, and was so excited once I got to wear them. They're actually comfortable for a heeled boot and the leather is oh-so-soft! </div>

Joel and I just want to say thank you to <a href="http://jennhoffmanphotography.com/" target="_blank">Jenn</a> again! If you're in the Des Moines area and need a photographer for weddings, maternity, babies, family or boudoir, we would definitely recommend her. She's just fabulous to work with and is so good at what she does!</div>

One last photo (in the same boots and color scheme, of course!) - this is my manager, Alex and I working at Aldo this past weekend. It's probably one of the most fun jobs I've ever had. If you're looking for some extra holiday money, we're hiring! Stop in and say hi and here about the awesome deals you can get for working with us. :)</div>

With all the instagram-love I got in regards to my outfit this past Saturday, I thought I'd do a quick post with the 2 photos I have from it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqDHVg8fFPfoUjGbLyD_1bVC_Q3z876uIx3SuMziSTHNkPYK_r0wyYZwBS0RnAgoDklK5-yFCh-WmBoI8TW0SCRMJGnZtsccCBgaaKb2_ZuPnLEeSagwoXGygYmnNZlf1aMQDr9TWMFGw/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-10-27+at+5.46.51+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqDHVg8fFPfoUjGbLyD_1bVC_Q3z876uIx3SuMziSTHNkPYK_r0wyYZwBS0RnAgoDklK5-yFCh-WmBoI8TW0SCRMJGnZtsccCBgaaKb2_ZuPnLEeSagwoXGygYmnNZlf1aMQDr9TWMFGw/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-10-27+at+5.46.51+PM.png" height="397" width="400" /></a></div>

Saturday morning, I spent a few hours at <a href="http://www.schaffers.com/" target="_blank">Shaffer's Bridal</a> on a hunt for bridesmaid dresses. {For those of you not in Iowa, Shaffer's is like the Kleinfeld's of Iowa - aka Tons of fun!} After that, I picked out tuxes and then flowers. Hello, wedding-planning!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wore a pair of booties that were gifted to me, originally from Target. {<a href="http://www.target.com/p/women-s-sam-libby-marley-ankle-boots-assorted-colors/-/A-15432230#prodSlot=_1_5" target="_blank">Here</a> is a similar pair}.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My leatherette leggings are one of my fabulous <a href="http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xleatherette+leggings&_nkw=leatherette+leggings&_sacat=0" target="_blank">eBay</a> finds. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My tunic is from H&M, which is no longer available, but <a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/calvin-klein-jeans-long-sleeve-mixed-media-tunic?ID=1539993&CategoryID=255&LinkType=&swatchColor=Black#fn=COLOR%3DBlack%26GENDER_AGE%3DWomen%26SLEEVE_LENGTH%3DLong Sleeve%26sp%3D1%26spc%3D85%26kws%3Dtunic%26slotId%3D35" target="_blank">here</a> is a similar Calvin Klein one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My Chanel-inspired necklace came from an instagram giveaway I won, but the style can still be found on <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pearl-Tip-Bold-Necklace-Celebrity-Inspired-kim-kardashian-Runway-Choker-/291256765356?pt=Fashion_Jewelry&hash=item43d0418bac" target="_blank">eBay</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, I topped the look off by piling on a stack of bracelets. One is from <a href="http://www.stelladot.com/shop/en_us/p/jewelry/bracelets/bracelets-all/amelie-sparkle-bracelet?color=peach" target="_blank">Stella&Dot</a>, one is a tennis bracelet I stole from my mom {sorry mom!} and the other is an old one I found on eBay {yes, another eBay item}.</div>

In the evening, my fiance, Joel, and I went out to dinner and attended an Iowa Wild hockey game with a group of friends. Sitting by the ice, I needed to warm up the outfit I had on earlier in the day, so I added <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?Br=LOVE21&Category=Love21_Outerwear&ProductID=2000060135&VariantID=" target="_blank">this</a> faux-fur vest from Forever 21. The guys all made fun of me, but what do they know? ;)<br />It was a very jam-packed day, but it's always better when you're dressed up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is a lot of Fall for one picture. Check out that orange tree in the back: Love it! </div>

Today's outfit is easy and timeless. One can never go wrong with a classic blazer. This maroon one is from Forever 21 and, although it's not online, they have it in a multitude of colors at my closest store right now. So perhaps you can take a gander at yours!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Something else I might pick up? <a href="http://www.aldoshoes.com/us/en_US/women/shoes/flats/c/111/ARIANNA/p/33566852-97" target="_blank">These</a> Arianna flats from Aldo. The flats I'm wearing have been in my possession for at least two years. And they're trashed, to say the least. It's been time to get new ones for a while now, Aldo just hasn't had a similar style until now. Seeing as I'm in love with these ones, I might have to purchase two pair of the <a href="http://www.aldoshoes.com/us/en_US/women/shoes/flats/c/111/ARIANNA/p/33566852-97" target="_blank">Arianna</a> flats and save one for a later date!</div>

Did you go to the Nordstrom Rack Grand Opening today? I did! Was it hectic? Indeed it was. But boy am I excited to say that there are new labels available in the area! </div>

Head over and have some fun - it's a wonderful catered event (we're talking beer, chips, sliders, etc. people!) and do some shopping. </div>

How fun is the celebrity-look-alike bodycon dress? I have owned this dress for about a year now and this was the first time I've worn it! How does that always happen? Anyway, I got tons of compliments on this dress, probably due to the bold patterned paneling on the body and sleeves. I think that my lace-up heels complemented the dress well, as they both have an edgy characteristic to them. </div>

I fell in love with this dress when it first came out at Target in July/August. It comes in 4 colors, green, navy, purple and black. I am a sucker for heathered material, so I was immediately interested. The price was about $30 when it first came out, and being short on money, I chose to wait and hope that it would be available in my size on clearance eventually. Sure enough, it was! I got it last week for $8.50!! There were several left at my store, so if you're in love too, head to your Target and get it before it's gone! The extended sleeve length is even good for Fall, so it's not like you'd be buying a dress you won't be able to wear till next Summer. :)</div>

Sometimes I don't know what to wear with maxis, as I feel like when I wear heels with them, they hit at an awkward length. As I was attempting to "Fall-ize" this look, I went for a pair of booties. I could have gone for solid black, but opted for the leopard print backed for a pop of print!</div>

*<u>LOCAL SALE ALERT</u>*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also, if you are a reader in the Des Moines area, one of my favorite local stores, <a href="http://www.blondgenius.com/" target="_blank">Blond Genius</a>, is having their Anniversary sale this Thursday evening from 10am-8pm. 15%-30% of your purchase and there will even be some bubbly! Their "Jean Bar" is fabulous; they have some of my favorite brands, such as Citizens of Humanity. They sell women's and men's clothes, so you can buy something for the main man in your life as well! Stop in for some good deals on awesome apparel!</div>

Today's look was inspired by the adorable Olivia, from <a href="http://thecorporatecatwalk.blogspot.com/2014/08/faux-leather-skirt.html" target="_blank">The Corporate Catwalk</a>. Although I don't think I could get away with knotting the bottom of my button-down at work, I adapted the look by tucking it in, although knotting may be a fun alternative for date night sometime! This faux leather pencil skirt has been sitting around waiting to be worn, so I finally wore it paired with my Ann Taylor embellished-collar button-down {last seen <a href="http://damselindesmoines.blogspot.com/2014/08/embellished-collar-midi-skirt.html" target="_blank">here</a>}. I wore my silver pumps from Aldo to complete the look by coordinating it to the silver embellishment. Finally, I wore a top-knot inspired by the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9s7gxusyJ6E" target="_blank">Kate Spade</a> runway show during Spring's Fashion Week. Overall, I'd say this was a fun look to wear, and I'm glad I was finally brave enough to bust out the faux-leather and can't wait to wear it again!</div>

The most important detail to today's post is these blue shoes. Why? Because <a href="http://www.ninewest.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-ninewest-Site/default/Default-Start?ep_tag=rkgGO&creative=45479583726&device=c&network=g&matchtype=e&gclid=CjwKEAjw14mhBRC0vdSNkI2l7CASJAC8OFS0rZHtAbX8Af-NteFq1Wv6ZbO2MXe2TSYKrgMDtubBhxoCARjw_wcB" target="_blank">Nine West</a> is sponsoring <a href="http://cfda.com/ftbc" target="_blank">Fashion Targets Breast Cancer</a>, and for every photo that is posted on instagram with #9WFTBC, they will donate $10 to the cause. With that said, I hope y'all start throwing some blue shoe photos up! And if you do, thank you in advance for participating to help such a cause. There are too many women dealing with the negative impact of breast cancer, and FTBC funds the cause both in the US and internationally. </div>

My love affair with poofy midis lives strong, and for this outfit, I decided to change it up with some floral print. This surplice-style top from Forever21 is a go-to for me when I don't know what to wear, as the style is figure-flattering and I don't think you can ever go wrong with floral. I've worn the top with <a href="http://damselindesmoines.blogspot.com/2014/08/styled-shorts.html" target="_blank">lace-trim shorts</a>, with <a href="http://instagram.com/p/pjojPMFBJX/?modal=true" target="_blank">dress pants</a> and, of course, with <a href="http://www.citizensofhumanity.com/product/women/1300-604-black" target="_blank">my favorite black skinnies</a>. It's ultimately a good style of top to have in your closet, and Forever21 has some <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Search/SearchResult.aspx?dsNav=Ntk:primary%7csurplice+top%7c3%7c,Ny:True,Ro:0,Up:regular&dsDimensionSearch=D:surplice+top,Dxm:AllPartial,Dxp:3&dsCompoundDimensionSearch=D:surplice+top,Dxm:AllPartial,Dxp:3&keyword=surplice+top&fromsearch=true" target="_blank">fun ones</a>.</div>

I had originally planned to wear my olive-colored Mary-Janes {last seen <a href="http://damselindesmoines.blogspot.com/2014/08/black-white-stripes-green-pumps.html" target="_blank">here</a>}, but when I saw a post on instagram regarding the fundraising opportunity for blue shoes, I figured my blue sandals would coordinate just as well. My great-grandmother battled breast-cancer, so whenever I'm given the opportunity to support an initiative that funds research and education for it, I jump on it. And this time, all I had to do was wear shoes I already had! </div>

This army-green, custom-made dress came from an awesome online boutique called <a href="http://www.eshakti.com/default.aspx" target="_blank">eShakti</a>. Their motto is "We design. You Create." It's a perfect motto for them because if you head over to the site, you can see that there are tons of styles to choose from, but you have the ability to customize them! Want pockets? You got it! How about 3/4 sleeves instead of sleeveless? They'll do it for you! Each piece is tailored to fit your height and body type depending on measurements you supply them with. </div>

The idea behind eShakti is something we just don't see often in this day in age. We are all in such a rush and have instant-gratification mindsets that we don't truly appreciate the luxury of custom-made apparel. Of course, that's also because it is typically more expensive, but eShakti's prices are actually comparable to some of my favorite ready-to-wear brands. They even add some awesome extra features that I've never even thought about (see below) which make their styles worth the money and the wait! As it is made upon order, it does take longer than your typical ready-to-wear clothes, however, now's the time to start thinking about holiday dresses anyway, so you should consider ordering a custom one from eShakti!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Upon ordering, I was nervous about how it was going to fit since I have a petite, yet bulky build. But eShakti nailed it, as it fit me like a glove. </div>

My favorite feature to this dress (besides the pockets and scalloped edging, of course), are these amazing bra-strap holders. Brilliant! No need to worry if your bra straps are hanging out behind you where you can't see - they're nice and secure with these holders that simply snap and unsnap. EShakti, you have solved a huge problem here!</div>

The one down-fall to this dress that I have to admit is that the zipper is on the side. I, personally, much prefer zippers to be on the back than the side. They're just at such an awkward angle when they're placed on the side. I hardly ever purchase anything with a side-zipper in stores because I feel like I have to get into a twisting yoga-pose to zip. I know that's just me being ultra-picky though! Otherwise, I'm a big fan of this dress. </div>

The print of this skirt is obviously pretty darned fun! I knew I wanted to wear it today, but struggled with what top to wear! I tried a black lace tee, a blue/teal blouse and a pink one too. Finally I came to the conclusion that continuing the cream color that is already in the skirt would give it a complete, more fluid look. Paired with a "leather" trimmed blazer, and you have yourself an #ootd! (Outfit of the day)</div>

There were some incredible deals on pencil skirts at Talbots. I got 3 not too long ago for less than $60 all together! Talbots is definitely not one of the first places I head to when I shop, but I sure am glad I popped in the other day, and I'll definitely be sure to check out sale skirts as the Fall season wraps up! I can't afford the full price $109, but I can certainly spare around $20. <br />
I also got <a href="http://www.talbots.com/online/m/browse/m_product_details.jsp?id=prdi32415&N=10598+10434&selectedConcept=Woman" target="_blank">this one</a> that I think I'll actually wear tomorrow! <a href="http://www.talbots.com/online/m/browse/m_product_details.jsp?id=prdi32517&N=10598+10434&selectedConcept=Woman%20Petites" target="_blank">This beaded</a> on and <a href="http://www.talbots.com/online/m/browse/m_product_details.jsp?id=prdi33129&N=10598+10434&selectedConcept=Misses" target="_blank">this classic style</a> also caught my eye. They're on mega-sale as well.<br />
If you're like me with sparse spending money, consider heading to <a href="http://www.talbots.com/online/m/m_home_page.jsp?&_requestid=592974" target="_blank">Talbots</a> for other sophisticated finds at great sale prices!<br />

Hi and Happy Tuesday! (That's right - it's Tuesday already!) As you all know, I've been in total denial that Summer is coming to an end is Fall is quickly approaching. Well, although I'm still not <i>quite</i> ready, after having attended the Iowa State football game this weekend, I started to get that Fall feeling and I suppose I'm starting to get a little excited for boots and sweaters!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I chose to share that excitement by wearing a Fall-y outfit that included boots. :) I also wore this burnt-orange dress from TJMaxx (I'm sorry; I know it looks more red in the pictures, but I promise it is actually orange!). I love shifts because they are so comfortable and can still be dressed up. This dress will look cute with a scarf too, so I love the versatility of shifts. I have a blue one that's very similar from Old Navy that I'll surely be busting out soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you all enjoyed a nice three-day weekend and have a fabulous 4-day week!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for reading.</div>

I am very excited to finally be posting this amazingly fun collaboration <a href="http://instagram.com/jordanstumbo" target="_blank">Jordan</a> from <a href="http://agrainofglitter.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">A Grain of Glitter</a> and I did a few weeks ago. We've been lucky enough with timing to do two previous collabs {<a href="http://damselindesmoines.blogspot.com/2014/03/luck-of-fashionable-collab.html" target="_blank">Luck of the Fashionable Collab</a> and <a href="http://damselindesmoines.blogspot.com/2014/08/one-blazer-two-looks.html" target="_blank">One Blazer|Two Looks</a>}, but never before have we done a shoot together, so this collab is extra special! </div>

I chose this outfit because the two things I actually look forward to about Fall are boots and sweaters! This oversized sweater can be paired with jeans of different colors, be it black, blue or even a raspberry! Oversized everything (sweaters, coats, etc) is going to be popular again this Fall, so be on the lookout while you're shopping, be it at a mall or online. A site with some killer oversizing ideas is <a href="http://www.sheinside.com/pdsearch/oversized/" target="_blank">Sheinside</a>. There are virtually endless outfit possibilities with the statement of an oversized piece! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also busted out my leopard print booties that I purchased at Aldo last year, as leopard is also going to be popular again this year. {Read more on that <a href="http://damselindesmoines.blogspot.com/2014/08/falling-in-love-with-leopard.html" target="_blank">here</a>.}</div>

I decided that my second outfit needed my very favorite midi {last seen <a href="http://damselindesmoines.blogspot.com/2014/08/mint-top-silver-accessories.html" target="_blank">here</a>} so I can show how I'll be wearing into Fall and Winter! I love wearing patterned tights, as long as they aren't too crazy. These ones I got at the end of winter on clearance at TJMaxx for a pretty decent price. I've been looking for more ever since, but haven't lucked out - maybe I will now that it's time for a little more on the legs! Also, as mentioned above, I had to break this amazingly soft alpaca scarf, since scarves are one thing I love about Fall. I also thought the burnt orange color of my silk JCrew blouse was ideal for a Fall-transition post! I mean, isn't it the first color we all think of when we think about fall? </div>

I'm desperately hanging on to summer, you guys! I am really not ready for Fall. I'm trying to get out my scarves and boots, but honestly, I'm in denial! #NotReady.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With that said, I thought I'd bring out the neon one last time before I have to pair it with something more Fall/Winter appropriate (ie. boots, scarves, tights, etc).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I found my Kate Spade Saturday top in a pile of clean laundry (whoops! Mom, if you're reading this, please don't be disappointed in me!), I thought it would be the perfect pairing with my neon-green fluted-skirt from JCrew. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also have the skirt in the <a href="https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/50offselectstyles1/PRD~03394/03394.jsp?Nbrd=J&Nloc=en_US&Nrpp=48&Npge=1&Ntrm=fluted&isSaleItem=true&color_name=BLACK&isFromSearch=true&isNewSearch=true&hash=row0" target="_blank">Pack Green</a> that's currently, I kid you not, $19.99 if you use promo code WEEKEND right now! (Thinking to self <i>Hmmmm Do I need another color?</i>) The dark green will be a little more perfect for Fall - grab one before they're gone! Even if you have to get a bigger one to alter, it's a price that will never be beat for JCrew. There are eBay listings for used JCrew skirts for more!</div>

Finally, I thought I'd share my new <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?Br=F21&Category=top&ProductID=2000102384&VariantID=" target="_blank">gym tee</a> with the motivational message "Take less. Give more." It's an easy message to try to think about more often and live by every day! Have you seen any other motivational tops that I could wear while pumping iron? If so, leave a comment!</div>

If you've been shopping recently, you may have notice that this Fall, one of the most popular prints is leopard! Whether it's a scarf or a blazer, a pencil or a pair of classy heels, leopard print is going to be everywhere this Fall. The print is one you have to be careful with however, as it is easy to overdo (as can be seen if you google "70's leopard print"). It may have been great the, but Fall 2014 is asking for smaller doses. </div>

The skirt I'm wearing above was purchased last year at Target. I got it on clearance for somewhere around $10, I believe - it was a lucky day! They do have the same style available this year in <a href="http://www.target.com/p/merona-women-s-doubleweave-pencil-skirt/-/A-14972366#prodSlot=medium_1_2&term=pencil+skirt" target="_blank">other prints</a> online, and I also saw a super cute one yesterday while I was browsing my local store.</div>

I am reaching out to you, all of my readers, to assist in Operation Ball Gown. This is a charity run by the Marine Corps base in Cherry Point, NC. Every year, they have their annual Marine Corps Ball, but many female Marines or wive's of Marines are unable to afford ball gowns to wear to the event.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now is your time to help! Just think about all the men and women in the USMC do for us every day, both here and on deployment in Iraq, Afghanistan and everywhere else around the world. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Donating one dress that you probably won't ever wear again is really the least you can do! I'm going to be calling my mom to send a dress or two because I want those women to be able to enjoy the event as much as they can. And don't we all know how great it feels to wear an amazing gown?? (Okay, maybe not you men, but do any ladies in your live's have dresses to donate?)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please call 252-466-4637 for more info on how to donate and PLEASE share this post with anyone else that may have a dress or two to spare!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, if you follow me on instagram, tag anyone on the photo I post in regards to this!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you, and God bless!</div>

The <a href="https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/skirts/pencil/PRDOVR~02676/02676.jsp" target="_blank">No. 2 Pencil Skirt</a> from JCrew is a classic! It is currently priced at $130, but if you shop with code NOWANDLATER, you can get 25% off. If you're in need of a classic pencil skirt, I would highly recommend this one. It is structured so well and it's my favorite pencil that I've ever had. I have it in the double-serge wool. The thickness of the material might seem heavy and overwhelming at first, but I wouldn't change it for anything - it really makes the skirt. I'm sure the <a href="https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/skirts/pencil/PRDOVR~A2080/A2080.jsp" target="_blank">cotton twill</a> version is fabulous too, I just love the thickness of the double-serge wool and it will be more conducive for the Fall and Winter seasons quickly approaching.</div>

Hello all! I hope y'all had a fantastic Monday - I sure did! My morning started out great, and the day just kept getting better and better - I'd say I had the best "case of the Mondays" possible! ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today's outfit consisted of my infamous black midi skirt {last seen <a href="http://damselindesmoines.blogspot.com/2014/07/green-gold-few-other-looks.html" target="_blank">here</a>}, my tie-neck top from Forever 21 {last seen <a href="http://damselindesmoines.blogspot.com/2014/04/an-easter-outfit.html" target="_blank">here</a>} and some dashing silver accessories. Let's start with my heels, shall we? I've been wanting the Coach <a href="http://www.coach.com/online/handbags/Product-nala_heel-10551-10051-Q1769-en?searchKeyword=nala" target="_blank">Nala</a> pump in silver for quite some time. I love <a href="http://damselindesmoines.blogspot.com/2014/08/embellished-collar-midi-skirt.html" target="_blank">my black ones</a>, I just haven't had the $75 to purchase some silver ones (even though that is a great deal, as they were originally $158). <a href="http://www.anntaylor.com/mari-leather-dorsay-heels/340859?colorExplode=false&skuId=15908896&catid=cata000051&productPageType=saleProducts&defaultColor=6001" target="_blank">These</a> Ann Taylor ones were a runner up (when they were an additional 60% off at the store), however, they were extremely uncomfortable. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So when the <a href="http://www.aldoshoes.com/us/women/shoes/high-heels/30206034-galelawen/81" target="_blank">Galelawen</a> style from Aldo finally went on sale for a whopping $20, I pounced. Seeing as the only size we had left was my size and they were only $20, it was a given. Right? :) I would still love to get the <a href="http://www.coach.com/online/handbags/Product-nala_heel-10551-10051-Q1769-en?searchKeyword=nala" target="_blank">Nala</a> in silver (round toe vs pointed, thank you! And they're the most comfortable heels I own), but for now, these Aldo ones will definitely calm down that metallic-shoe hunt I've been on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The silver ones aren't available online anymore, but head to your closest Aldo to see if they have some in stock - you just might get lucky! <a href="http://www.aldoshoes.com/us/clearance/womens-shoes/heels/98632515-kveta/80" target="_blank">This</a> style in the pewter color is very cute too if you're just on a mission for metallics, like I have been.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As for the rest of my accessories: I've had the necklace and bracelet for a while - the Banana Republic knot bracelet is one of my fav bracelets. I kinda wish I had gotten the gold too. Shucks!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sorry for the quick post - I've had a very busy (yet awesome) day, and now I'm off to bed.</div>

I got <a href="http://www.anntaylor.com/petite-jeweled-collar-shirt/325702?colorExplode=false&skuId=15701770&catid=cata000045&productPageType=saleProducts&defaultColor=1827" target="_blank">this</a> Ann Taylor top while I was in Ohio last weekend. Like a lot of the things I post on my blog, I got it for less than it shows online. You can totally still get it online for $59.88, however, I would, again, recommend heading to your nearest Ann Taylor store to see if you can get it for less. When I got mine, after an additional 40% off, it was only $13.00. Much better, right? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, I fell in love with embellished collars when JCrew introduced their first embellished collar top a few seasons ago, however, I couldn't afford it. But, not to worry, as JCrew inspires and popularizes styles for a lot of other stores and embellished collars soon became available elsewhere. Although I'm not one of the first people to wear new styles to help 'lead a trend,' I am happy to purchase them at a better price a little later on, as I'm working on saving some money (AND still looking good!). Maybe someday I'll be at the front end of a new style!</div>

I wore my new top with my green <a href="http://www.chicwish.com/green-a-line-midi-skirt.html" target="_blank">Chicwish</a> midi skirt for two reasons. One, because I think my midi was getting lonely and wanted to be worn again ;) and two, because this top, unfortunately, did not look good with pants. I tried it one with my Banana Republic <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1009310&vid=3&pid=656152192" target="_blank">Sloan Fit Pants</a> (currently on sale!), however, I couldn't pull the look off. I think come fall when I can wear a cardigan over the top, it will look much better - time will tell!</div>

Yesterday afternoon I went to the mall to walk around and look at the fall styles coming out and I just wanted to share with Des Moines locals that there is a new store at Valley West Mall! It's called <a href="http://www.americanlink.com/shop.html" target="_blank">American Link</a> and it's a boutique-style shop with the trendiest styles at reasonable prices. The story manager, Richelle, was super sweet too! Go check it out to get something that's fashionable and a little bit different than what everyone else has.</div>

Today's post has some extra fun, as it's a collaborative post with <a href="http://agrainofglitter.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">A Grain of Glitter</a>. My beautiful friend, Jordan, has this blazer in the red-tone version, and we thought it would be fun to do a collaboration to show different ways to style a print blazer. Check out <a href="http://agrainofglitter.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">her post</a> (publishing at 6am tomorrow morning!) to see details on how she wore it. </div>

Here is my <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=968258002" target="_blank">Old Navy</a> jumpsuit without the blazer. I like how comfortable it is and how it can still be dressed up. Paired with heels and some fun accessories, this could easily be thrown on as an easy-yet-chic date-night look. The straps are also detachable if you want to go for a strapless look.</div>

They're an easy short to style and can be paired with so mcuh. Additionally, they have an elastic waste-band similar to athletic shorts, so they're super comfy! I think they'll look cute with a slightly more casual top and my <a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/coach-francesca-sneaker?ID=1129600&CategoryID=41259#fn=sp%3D1%26spc%3D51%26ruleId%3D52%26slotId%3D15" target="_blank">Coach Signature Sneakers</a>. </div>

Since so many have asked me about this lip color in the past, I thought I'd share with you all that it is my favorite lip color. It is from MAC Cosmetics, and the color is called <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/168/310/Products/Lips/Lipstick/Lipstick/index.tmpl?SKU_ID=SKU3060" target="_blank">Rebel</a> and it also comes in a <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/166/309/Products/Lips/Lipglass/Tinted-Lipglass/index.tmpl?SKU_ID=SKU42412" target="_blank">gloss</a> if you're not a lipstick wearer. Another color I love is called <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/shaded/168/310/Products/Lips/Lipstick/Lipstick/index.tmpl?SKU_ID=SKU2267" target="_blank">Diva</a>. It's another darker color, but is more maroon, whereas Rebel is more pink/purple. </div>

Hello all! I seem to be on a neutrals trend lately, so today I opted for at least a colored pair of shoes. These olive green, mary-jane style pumps were purchased at Nordstrom Rack approximately 6 years ago. Can you believe that?!? Last weekend when I was in Columbus, I went through a bunch of my old stuff and dug up a few pair of shoes that I'm looking forward to wearing again. </div>

The Citizens of Humanity <a href="http://www.citizensofhumanity.com/product/women/1300-604-black" target="_blank">Avendon</a> jean is my favorite style, not only form the brand, but of all my jeans. I have two pair of them in black, but I'd love to get some other washes as well. They're very comfortable, and I am all about comfort!</div>

The original price is $139, but I paid a whopping $100 less than that! Online, it shoes up as $119 with and additional 60% off, which takes it down to $48. However, if you stop into your nearest store, I imagine you'd be able to get it for the $33 I practically stole it for. :)</div>

This dress is mostly polyester, which a lot of ladies opt out of, however, I love poly. It's very forgiving and I feel safe in it! (Safe = nothing is showing that shouldn't be) ;) The only downfall? Dry clean only... I need to be more cautious when shopping, as I've accidentally been buying quite a bit of dry clean only lately. But, let's be real; this dress was too good not to get, dry clean only or not!</div>

On a side note: I was lucky enough to enjoy my lunch break with these fabulous ladies! All three of us were in Kappa Kappa Gamma at Simpson College together. I'm a sucker for sisterly love! Macy (right) and I see each other somewhat frequently, as we live relatively close to one another, but our sister, Emily (left), lives in France now, and has for 3 years! So it's always a mega-treat to be spoiled with her presence. :)</div>

As for the rest of my outfit, this blazer is one of my faves. I got it on clearance at Express about a year ago and still cherish it. I find the fit very flattering and wish I could figure out what it was so I could get it in more colors! Anyway, if you love the look of mine, you should definitely check out <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/shop/blazers-vests/celebrating-success-blazer?utm_source=polyvore&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=jackets" target="_blank">this one</a> from Mod Cloth. It has a similar structure that is flattering and the color is to die for!</div>

Today was my first day back from what feels like 2 months of hectic travel, so I was anxious to get back to a normal schedule. I officially move out of my apartment on Wednesday (still have some packing and cleaning to do), but after that, I should have smooth sailing for a while, and for that, I am thankful!</div>

Happy Hump-Day, friends! This is my outfit from yesterday, which was perfect, as it's definitely feeling like the middle of summer. Wearing a skirt was a good call. The temperature in Iowa was 90-something with a heat index of 110! Yow!! If it weren't for the humidity, I'd totally be loving it. I'm just very glad that it was finally a rain-free, sunny day. </div>

I purchased this top several years ago at Macy's. The brand is INC Petite. I love the way it looks, but the sequins can get slightly irritating since they rub when I type. But, one should always know that anything with glitter or sequins can questionable as far as itchiness. Oh, the price of beauty! ;)</div>

I started listening to the book "Skinny Bitch" as I drove from Des Moines to Ohio yesterday and today. It is extremely funny and mentions things that I think <i>all the time</i> when trying to talk to people about eating healthy. I'm loving it, and would definitely recommend it!</div>
