Looks for Less

Looks for Less: Target

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I see a cute shirt that I love and buy it. Then I get home with it and don’t know what to pair it with, so it ultimately sits in my closet for a while before I figure out how to put it into an outfit. I love when I see adds with models or mannequins dressed in a complete outfit from head to toe. That then gives me an idea of how to put an outfit together. I have been known to walk into a store and buy the entire outfit that I saw on the mannequin in the window because I thought it was so cute. I’ve even spent hours on Pinterest getting outfit inspiration. That place is like a rabbit hole that I can’t get out of sometimes. Anyway, that is why I like making complete looks for you from head to toe. It’s so much easier when someone else does the work for you, right? You can think of me as your personal stylist! LOL! If you see an outfit you love, you can purchase the whole thing, or you can get inspiration of things to pair with pieces you may already own. I am certainly no fashion designer, and I don’t have any kind fashion degree or experience. I just like clothes and shopping. These outfits are a reflection of my personal tastes, which may or may not match up with yours. My goal is simply to show you some pieces that I love that are currently on trend and to maybe offer a little style inspiration.

Looks for Less: Target

Happy Groundhog’s Day! We are on our third day in a row of snow here, so I’m thinking we are in for some more winter weather! I’m totally ok with that, though. I love seeing the glistening white everywhere I look! Just give me a warm blanket, a fire, and some hot chocolate and I am happy as can be.

Today I have put together some more outfits together. Creating them is one of my favorite things to do. These are complete looks from head-to-toe curtesy of Target. They include some super cute new arrivals that may just get you in the mood for spring no matter what your weather is outside. I saw tons of florals and pastels that are going to be great as we transition to spring in the coming months.

Looks for Less: Loft Outlet

I woke up this morning in such a good mood because it is the start of Inspire Week with Trades of Hope. We weren’t able to have our annual retreat in Orlando this year due to Covid, so we are doing it virtual instead. It won’t be the same without being able to gather with my TOH sisters in person, but I am super excited about all the training and inspiring artisan interviews we are going to have. I can’t wait! Anyway, because I am in such a good mood, I felt like being a little creative this morning. What better way to do that than to do one of my favorite things ever…outfit making! I am super obsessed with all of these looks from the Loft Outlet. The Loft is totally my jam, and the outlet is even better with their incredible prices! I had so much fun creating these looks for less for all of you. Check them out.

Looks for Less: Loft Outlet

We had a few days of warm weather last week, but I think that was the end of it for the season. The cooler weather is here to stay, and that means it is time to pull out those warm clothes. Today I have created a few outfit pairings for you from top to bottom. Every piece is from the Loft Outlet online for an easy one-stop shopping experience. It also means that they are available for some really great prices. I love creating whole looks because sometimes it is hard to purchase one thing and not know what to pair it with when you get home. If I buy a complete outfit, I know that I will wear it. You can purchase the whole outfit or use it as inspiration for your own wardrobe. Check out all the cuteness!

I was checking out some of J. Crew Factory’s new arrivals yesterday, and it led to outfit making. There were some pieces that were too cute not to put together. I just get on this outfit making kick and I can’t stop. I limited myself to just 8 looks this time, but there is so much more cuteness on their site, including tons of clearance items that you can take an extra 60% off with the code BIGSALE. None of these items I picked for these outfits are on clearance due to limited sizing, but they are already at such a great price to begin with. It will be hard to pass them up. Seriously, how cute are these?

Looks for Less: J. Crew Factory

I am still struggling with not being able to do try-on sessions for you guys. I just want to be able to go to my favorite stores and try on ALL the things. Instead I am left with making outfits online. While it is fun for me to do that too, there is nothing better than making them and then trying them on. If only I could just afford to order it all and do my try-on sessions at home! I can dream, right? Today I put together a few outfits from J. Crew Factory that I think are pretty cute and are perfect for spring and summer. We HAVE to be able to go out soon and dress up all cute again (at least I hope so). In the meantime, I will keep scouring the internet for you to find the best looks for the best prices. J. Crew Factory is currently having a sale on dresses, and you can get FREE shipping on orders over $75 with the code WOWZA.

Last night I was scrolling through Facebook and came across an ad for one of my favorite stores, The Loft Outlet, and I noticed that they had some cute new spring/summer items that I had not seen yet. Well, that got me going down a rabbit hole when I decided to start making outfits. You all know that is one of my favorite things to do. Anyway, I ended up narrowing it down this morning into 12 complete looks (there were about 25). I combined them with some cute shoes from Target and jewelry from Trades of Hope. Now I want to buy them all, but I am trying to resist! They are all so adorable! Most of the piece from The Loft Outlet are on sale. Plus, you can get an additional 20% off the purchase of 4+ items with the code SMILES. You can also get free shipping on all orders over $25. For every purchase of one of the Trades of Hope pieces using these links, 10 meals will be donated to a family in need in the US through Feeding America. If that isn’t a good excuse to shop, I don’t know what is!

Looks for Less: J. Crew Factory

Friday marked the official start of spring, and we had gorgeous spring weather here that day. Of course, it went back to cold over the weekend, but I am not letting it hamper my mood. The trees are starting to bloom, and spring is definitely in the air. I am loving all the new spring clothes that are popping up everywhere. That has put me in the outfit making mood. Since I can’t go out and do any real shopping as we are still trapped at home, I went for the next best thing…online shopping! No, I didn’t really buy anything, but I do have a few things sitting in my cart I am debating on. You all know that I am all about a bargain and outlet shopping is my cup of tea. Today I have scoured J. Crew Factory for some really cute pieces all at a great price. Some are even on clearance and others are an additional 70% off with the code SNOOZE. I have made 8 outfits from head to toe that are just too cute for words! Check them out!

Looks for Less: Old Navy

I was in the outfit making mood this morning, so I turned to one of my favorite places to shop. I have created 10 different looks for you from casual to dressy. I love putting things together to create a complete a look. It is so much fun! All you have to do is to choose some cute accessories and you are all set. Now I may have to head over to my local store to try some of these outfits on because I love them so much.
