Girly Girl


Top: Urban Outfitters // Skirt: Urban Outfitters // Shoes: Vintage // Scarf: Vintage // Ring: Courtesy of InPink

While I've had both of these pieces for a couple years now, I've never thought to combine them before. Together they create a perfectly girly outfit that includes many of my favorite things: ruffles, pink, polka dots, a Peter Pan collar, a low back and even a bow for good measure. It was a fun little get-up for a Best Coast show over the weekend.

Classic Americana

Shirt: Richard Chai for Target // Shorts: Vintage // Shoes: Vintage

This casual vintage look was just right for a laidback day of shopping over the weekend. I picked up a handful of records and an adorable romper that I can't wait to show you guys!

Life of Leisure

Shirt: Many Belles Down, courtesy of High Gloss Fashion // Skirt: H&M (old) // Shoes: Vintage // Scarf: Vintage // Necklace: Vintage

Some friends and I got the long weekend off to a perfect start with a cookout in the park. This monochromatic look had me feeling breezy and comfortable but still put together. I kept up the relaxing activities and retro style all weekend long. More outfits to come! How was your weekend?

Set the Tone

Shirt: Old Navy // Jeans: TJMaxx // Shoes: Target // Necklace: Target

I went for a palette of sherbet-y shades for Thursday's casual get-up. The necklace tied it together so perfectly that I almost felt lazy. Hope your weekend is going wonderfully! Oh, I know I'm late to the party, but I'm finally on Instagram. My name is @kansascouture if you feel like following along!

Matchmaker

Dress: Old Navy // Necklaces (two attached): Forever 21 and H&M // Bracelet: Forever 21 // Shoes: Thrifted

Lately I've been liking deliberately matchy outfits. While the shoes are a bit pinker than the necklace, they actually looked closer in color in real life. I even layered two shades of lipstick to complete the coordination!

Tres Trendy

Shirt: H&M // Jeans: H&M // Shoes: Vintage // Necklace: Vintage //Belt: Vintage

I've been enjoying the mint trend from afar for months now but had yet to find any pieces for myself. These pretty pastel skinny jeans were tucked away on a shelf at H&M, and I felt like hit the jackpot when I pulled them out! A cute, coordinating floral peplum top seemed the perfect complement for an oh so of-the-moment spring look.

Repurposing

Dress: Courtesy of ModCloth // Shirt: H&M, $10 // Shoes: Lucky Brand, courtesy of Lucky
Magazine // Necklace: Wild Man Vintage

I have a bad habit of buying dresses for special occasions and then never wearing them again. While this frock isn't terribly formal, the strapless silhouette lessens its versatility. In an attempt to get more use out of a pretty piece, I layered it over a tee for work. Worked for me!
