i've never been a procrastinator. if anything, i'm a procrastinator's complete antithesis. if an assignment was due friday, i'd have it finished by monday night. though viewed as a bit extreme by my peers, it certainly made high school a lot less stressful. but english papers aside, there is one area of my life where i ...
we've made it to the final look in the "don't get mad, get plaid" series (insert celebratory emoji here). these final two looks are for those of you who may be newly warming up to the idea of wearing plaid (pun intended). it can be intimidating to embrace such a bold pattern, but with a little ...
it's day two of my "don't get mad, get plaid" series (here's a refresher on look #1), and i'm excited to showcase another way to style plaid. today's outfits center around a classic plaid button-down. i'm not too embarrassed to admit that a healthy portion of my shirt collection boasts this festive pattern. my go-to store for ...
