Very Jane Awesomeness

Posted on

I first heard about veryjane.com from Sarah when we met for her style consultation.

And I kinda wish I had never heard about it because I could have saved myself a lot of money. 😉

(All these necklaces came from their site! And all were less than $15!)

Very Jane sends out a daily email (only one I promise) with a LOT of awesome things. These “things” range from jewelry, clothes (mostly women’s, kids & baby’s), home items (such as table runners or pillows) and even photo edits for purchase. There are different sellers similar to etsy and they usually have limited items, so if you see something you like, don’t think it over for too long or it might be sold out before you make a decision.

Here is a sample of what their daily email looks like.

Everything is fairly inexpensive (it’s rare that I see something over $20) and sometimes sellers even have “blow out” sales where they sell any items that they have left over at a discounted rate, so you are able to get things even cheaper. It’s a great site for buying gifts and they always have a TON of amazing jewelry offered.

I liked the green skirt above so much, I bought a blue one for myself and my cousin (for her birthday) when they came up for sale again!

Hop on over to veryjane.com and sign up for their daily email. I promise that you won’t be disappointed. Just please don’t blame me when your savings starts rapidly decreasing.

If At First You Don’t Succeed…

This Thursday I put on this cute baby doll dress as part of the Coast to Coast Challenge.

When I went inside, I realized I was so out of it, that I hadn’t even put earrings on. I quickly found some I liked and then remembered how I don’t like how the bodice of this dress gapes, so I added a brown vest I own. When I looked in the mirror, I liked the resulting outfit so much more than just the dress.

And so I asked my husband if he would take my picture again. Yes, ladies, he’s a keeper.

Layering adds a certain element to an outfit and allows you to change the feel. My original look was very girly, but I love how the vest sorta “hardened” the whole outfit.

Happy Fashion Friday! (I almost missed it!)

What I Love: Jean Jackets

Posted on

I remember watching “The Wedding Singer” and being completely enamored with Drew Barrymore’s jean jacket and became determined to add one to my wardrobe. And thus began my love affair…

Why I Love Them

-They are so versatile. Just like jean pants, they go with practically any color, pattern, texture or fabric.

-They are crazy comfortable….because they are denim. Duh.

-They are timeless. I mean, hello?! I pray denim never goes out of style.

How To Wear Them

-Dress down with some camo and/or cut off shorts to dress it down.

-Add an oversized scarf, statement necklace and brightly colored skinny jeans.

-Wear with oversized sunnies, leggings and an oversized t-shirt for a last minute outfit.

-Dress it up with a belted maxi (perfect date night outfit).

And I want to get married to my husband all over again, so I can wear a jean jacket with my wedding dress. Why didn’t I think of that six years ago?!?? How cute is this?!
