3 Ways to Add a Pop of Color to Your Outfit {My Style}

Winter is getting close! I can’t believe how fast the time is flying by. In just 4 weeks it will be Christmas.

Last week I showed you a little bit of my fall fashion and the wonderful colors of fall. Well… with the weather getting colder I still like adding a punch of color to my winter wardrobe. Today I am wearing teal with grey. I love wearing neutral colors and adding a pop of another color. It is a fun and easy way to change up an outfit.

There are 3 colors I have a lot of in my closet and they would be black, white and grey. They all mix and match perfectly together and they also go well with almost every color of the rainbow. That way when I am shopping I can buy the nicer quality clothes in neutrals and the fun less expensive close as my pops of color.
I love Grey and Teal together!
For an example, jewelry and undershirts are a perfect way to add a pop of color to your outfit.

Adding a scarf is another fun way to change up your look!

This is such a cute scarf with this grey coat

When you put the 3 things together it is a great combination without over wear the accent color.

Coordinating the your jacket and boots together is a great way to pull the whole outfit together!

I love being able to wear my boots again. I also love adding leg warmers to an outfit to add color, keep you warm or tie an outfit together.

Does it get cold where you are at? Do you need to wear warmer winter clothes like I do? If so, what is your favorite piece to wear?

1 Dress, 2 Different Ways of Wearing It! {My Style}

You might remember this grey dress from one of my Chicago outfits that I wore this past summer. I usually try to wear my clothes in many different ways depending on the season. It is amazing how you can completely changed the look of the outfit with changing a few minor things.

Since it is cooler out I wanted to show you what I did different: For this outfit I added black tights, black leather shoes, a fake black leather jacket with a grey handbag.

I don’t know if any of you know this, but since our wedding Brandon and I have been living at his mom’s house because our new house actually flooded the day we bought it. Since we are in the middle of fixing everything up, I don’t have my usually wardrobe because a lot of it is still boxed away.

Repeating outfits and changing up how they look have been a necessity around here. Although it is hard to imagine, I am beginning to like living a little more simple. It is amazing how much faster I get ready in the morning when I only have a few things to choose from.

Now I must ask, what do you like about the way I changed up this grey dress? Have you ever felt like completely changing a statement peace in your wardrobe?

4 Steps to Dress up Jeans and a Tee {My Style}

I can’t tell you how many times I don’t feel like getting dressed up in the morning. (probably because it is almost every morning. Without my energy tea I would probably never even get out of bed.) Maybe it is because when my alarm goes off in the morning I just want to turn it off and go right back to bed. So instead and in between snoozes I lay in bed thinking about what I am going to wear that day. Aka, getting my beauty rest and not getting dressed.

Once I actually get moving, all I really want to do is just throw on a pair of jeans and T-shirt. What I find works best for those days is simply dressing up a casual outfit. That way I can still be cute and comfortable with just a few minor adjustments.

Here you have your basic skinny jeans and tee.

First, throw you hair up into some sort of messy half-up half-down style.

Put on some earrings.

Add a few bracelets.

I love all of the gold accessories.

Then step into so some comfortable wedges to complete the look.

These tan wedges are so cute!

And that is how I dress up jeans and a tee in just 4 simple steps.

Now I want to challenge you to do the same. Take a casual outfit and dress it up with these same steps. You can #BeautyBlondieCuteAndCozy on Facebook, Instagram or Twiter to show me your style. I would love to see some of your casual outfits.

Do you like to dress cute and cozy like I do?

I Washed My iPhone

Every story has a beginning and my started one afternoon after a long morning of clients and then shopping. I brought all of the bags home and placed them on my bed, along with an almost empty double insulated cup of energy tea. It wasn’t long before I noticed the tea had fallen over and spilled all over the bed.

So…. Naturally I would have to take off the sheets and throw them in the laundry. I would say about 5 minutes later I realized I couldn’t find my phone anywhere. After calling it a number of times, it dawned on me. The last place I used it was in my room and I set it on the bed. I ran down stairs opened the top loader washer and stuck my hand in praying that it wasn’t in there. After moving it around for a while, I felt something hard. I knew what I had done! I had washed my brand new white iPhone 5 in the washer with the sheets.

Did I mention that was the phone my Husband of less than a month had given me for my birthday? After days of it in a zip-lock bag of rice, I took to it to Verizon store to see if it would work. Not only did it not work but it was completely fried to the point where they couldn’t get anything off of it. Plus I never turned on my iCloud so I lost all of the pictures on the phone from the most important and eventful month of my life. RIP iPhone 5

I shared my tragic news on my facebook page and apparently I am not the only one who has gotten their phone wet in some way, shape or form. Although no one fried their’s quite like I did.

So… I paid the deductible and had them send me a new phone. I love my husband for knowing me so well and for being so understanding (even before I sobbed my whole story to him) He bought insurance when he bought the phone. And to top it all off, they sent me a black iPhone instead of the white one like I had. Just my luck.

Now I have to ask, have you ever got your phone wet? If so did it fry the whole phone or am I still the only one?

Until next time…
