the All-American Basics (+ my 1st music video)

Jan 7, 2013

A tee & jeans. The basic all-American look. I LOVE it.
They are my favorite things to throw on...especially if I'm busy around the house, need to run errands or just don't feel like thinking at all. You know...those days. 
While its perfectly acceptable to just wear a tee and jeans, it's almost just as easy to knock the look up a notch by adding-on some other simple basics. 

Let me show you how, lovaaahs.

 So let's give them a boost...
very simply.

My favorite way to boost the basic tee & jeans is to simply add a tailored blazer + pumps for  a more sophisticated look.
You can add some fun accessories for a little pizzazz.
Lastly, you can't go wrong with adding bold colored flats and a colorful scarf. 

So yah. See. Easy peazy. 
You have no excuse. Actually, no...you still do if you're a mama. I get it.
I still urge you to try out these tips just once!
It may just help you feel a bit more put together on those crazy days :). 


Now on to bidnessssss.
Oh gosh.
I can't believe I did this and am now sharing it with all of you.
So, you know how I said I'd make a music video for you in thanks for all of your votes in the Circle of Moms Top 25 Fashion Bloggers contest? See that ridic promise here

This is just slightly embarrassing. 
Totally embarrassing.

Feel the urge to vote for me now? 



Now I will go and hide....
