Many Days, Many Ways Link Up: Hot Pink Jeans

I never in a million years thought that I would buy hot pink jeans. 

I did and I wore them until they were really beat up. I got a new pair over Christmas break (for just $15!) ... and I've been wearing them even more frequently!

So for my very first link up participation I am doing a many days, many ways post for... .you guessed it! My hot pink jeans. :) 


I have so many more outfits that I haven't photographed.. ... but you get the idea! Colored denim can become so accessible! 

Thanks to Danielle (here) and Nicole (here) for hosting this link up! :) 

Until Next Time,

Alexandra

The Tee That Won't Quit! // Remixing Challenge


This week we had 3 snow days! 3! THREE! Then I had a day off Friday that I was already expecting! I spent a ton of time cleaning, cooking and hand washing lots of fun new Goodwill and Salvation Army finds! Which means I can start styling them and sharing them in posts! Whoop! So here you have it... another outfit from the winter remix!

I have got some crazy crazy wild hair in these pictures... but sometimes you just have to rock it. ;) 

Grey Blazer: Thrifted, $20 or less - Old
Ivory Tee: Lucky Brand via TJMaxx, $20 or less -Old
Mint Ombre Necklace: Thrifted, $7 - Old
Vintage Cocktail Ring: Salvation Army, $3
Pink Jeans: JCP, $15 - Christmas Money
Navy Flats: Payless, $15 - BOGO price

Outfit Total: $80


I am so in love with this necklace. It's noticeable... but a soft color which I love. Plus it goes with so many things. And I always love to find a vintage piece that is wearable right off the bat! Plus $7?? Steal! 


This will also be a nice outfit in spring :) 


I cannot get enough of this lacy tee! It is so so so versatile! And comfy. But it looks so much nicer than a lot of my other tees. :)

Do you have all-season basics that work with everything? 

Have you ever found vintage jewelry that was a major steal?

Coral & Cream // Remixing Challenge


So the remix challenge that I was doing was just a January challenge... but I haven't posted that many of my outfits yet.. and I'm not really even sure how many I ended up with...so you're going to keep getting my pictures! :) This one is very simple and cozy. Nice for work... more pulled together looking than my dressy sweatshirts. But scarves are magical like that. ;)

To see the other outfits click here, here & here.


Cardigan: TJMaxx, $16. -Clearance
Lace Top: TJMaxx, $20 (or less, I have no idea) - Old
Skinnies: TJMaxx, $16
Flats: Payless, $15 -BOGO price
Scarf: TJMaxx, $10 (or less, I have no idea) -Old
Vintage Cocktail Ring: Salvation Army, $3(!)

Total: $80


I have had this scarf for such a long time... but I still love to wear it. It's a nice neutral but the metallic gold thread makes it so much more exciting. I had a black one with silver thread too, but it was lost and then stolen at the mall on a family shopping trip a few years ago. :( 


I'm really really excited about this cardigan! :) 

Have you tried any official or unofficial remix challenges recently?

Like Loungewear But Cuter (II) // Remixing Challenge


Remember my 'Like Loungewear But Cuter (I)' post from earlier in the month? Well the remix made a very similar outfit work, but it has a totally different feel with a cream colored sweatshirt! What do you think? 

I love them both, and they both make another outfit with dark denim skinnies! :)  To vary them even more I like to switch the pink necklace for a vintage mint ombre one!

These combos are so wonderful because they keep me warm and cozy, but I still feel pulled together. Minimal effort, warm and comfy are all preschool pre-requisites! 

Sweatshirt: Aerie, $40 -old
Pink Jeans: JCP, $15 -sale price
Necklace: Francesca's $26 -old
Flats: Target, $22 -old
Cocktail Ring: Salvation Army, $3 -Vintage

Total: $106


Duchess is getting better at her photobombs... :) 


I really needed new flats, these are super comfy, and I love how the studs divide the toe of the shoe! Such a simple detail but it makes it feel so much more special! :) Plus, the price was right!!


I love hot pink with this light cream. But this sweatshirt goes with everything from dark denim to teal skinnies! So versatile. 


currrrllls. 


This ring has got to be one of my favorites that I got during my Salvation Army hauls! So pretty!


With dark jeans... pardon my power cord... ;) 


Days are so much happier when you are comfy!

What do you think of these outfits? Which do you like best?

How do you wear dressy sweatshirts?

Have you ever hit the vintage costume jewelry jackpot?

All for Now,

Alexandra
