I ShopStyle…(Really)

shopstyle lay down, we shop style, online shopping, fashion

Why is that doofus lying on the ground surrounded by her clothes? Well, because she’s a doofus and because ShopStyle asked her to! You might have noticed some TV commercials for ShopStyle recently, but I’ve been using it for much longer (because I’m such a hip doofus). I use ShopStyle almost every day, in fact. It’s the easiest way for me to find those handy product links I put at the end of each outfit post.

If you’ve never used it before, ShopStyle is basically a shopping search engine that gives you a bunch of handy filters for color, price, size, and more, so you can find exactly what you’re looking for. As you know, I’m all about documenting my real-life style, so usually most of what I’m wearing wasn’t purchased that recently. I use ShopStyle to find the closest possible option to link you guys to. The price filter really comes in handy, because I’m not about to give you a link to something from Versace when the original was Forever 21. That’s just obnoxious!

I also use ShopStyle when I’m on the hunt for something to add to my closet. Most recently, that was a Christmassy plaid shirt and over-the-knee boots, both of which are pictured above! Once again the price filter comes in handy because law school makes you rich with knowledge but not with much else. So the next time you’re convinced that you simply must have sequin leggings for under $100, you know how to find them.

ShopStyle told me this photo shoot was all about showing off my personal style, so I went to my closet and pulled out a few things I’ve been obsessed with recently: plaid, boots, chambray, and bling! You can shop these items (or similar options) below…Guess how I found the links? šŸ˜‰

Disclosure: ShopStyle compensated me for this post, but all opinions are my own, and I wouldn’t have agreed to participate if I weren’t already a fan! I really do use it all the time.

Won’t You Take Me To…SPARKLE TOWN

What is it about New Year’s that makes people want to dress like disco balls? I don’t know but I fall victim to the sequins, too. I feel like there’s a very stereotypical “NYE dress.” It’s very small and very sparkly. And probably very itchy. And you’ll probably never wear it again.

Recently I’ve been keeping an eye out for sparkly things that are NYE appropriate but are also re-wearable (as the queen of remixing, I always have this kind of thing on my mind). I gathered up a few of my favorites (all under $70) to give you some ideas. All of this stuff would also be right at home at a wedding, your birthday party, or a fancy date night. A few of them might even be OK – dare I say it – forĀ everyday wear.Ā I happen to have my eye on the sequin pants just because they’re a little ridiculous and I love them.
