Girlfriends with Style


While I wouldn’t call myself fashionless, I most certainly am not miss fashionista either. In fact, after work and on the weekends I can usually be found wearing little to no makeup, work out clothes and my hair pulled up into what my family calls a ‘chinese bun.’ My boyfriend hasn’t thrown me to the curb yet (going on 6 years), so the bun can’t be THAT bad?! Yes I am super girly, love to shop, appreciate designer items and even attempt to keep updated on current trends. But honestly, I'm not one of those girls who can throw together an amazing outfit... I often need help.

Sure I get ideas from Vogue and all the amazing blogs out there ;) ... but I get most of my style tips and inspiration from my girlfriends. They have taught me many a thing or two about fashion; like layering necklaces, even before this trend was popular (thank you Tara) and the amazingness of $9.50 Forever21 jeans (thank you Carlina) …seriously go out and buy them NOW. They fit like a glove. I've learned elephant caps from Michaels can be cute (thanks to Tessa and a never ending day of errands) as well as when it is and isn't appropriate to dress sexy (thanks to Nicole and her 'too sexy for work' shorts). Just to name a few.

So cheers to my fine lady friends with awesome style!!

I'm the same way! I'm all about sweatpants and my hair in a bun as soon as I'm home from work. I get so lazy in the winter!

My girlfriend's are most definitely one of my main sources of fashion inspiration. We're always exchanging ideas, swapping information and inspiring one another's outfits. So fun to fashionable and stylish girlfriends!

Nicole said...

Leash, love this post. haha!

Glad I could be your sexy vs. too sexy for work inspiration. If anything, I've learned a lesson or two or three from you in that department.... "Nicole, are you really wearing that to work today?Don't you think you should wear tights/a bra/a tank/a sweater/leggings/pants, etc. with that???"

haha...you are one true blue girlfriend and a fab fashionista at that. ;-)
