Orange Fall Dress + Leopard Flats

Hi, I’m Courtney, and I love affordable fashion and Fall. This outfit combines those things, and I love it. Walmart has seriously stepped up their style game. I’ve seen fashion bloggers doing sponsored posts saying this, but the outfits they’ve linked are $100 ish. That’s not me y’all. I like truly affordable fashion, and $100 for a basic outfit is not affordable in my opinion. I’m back in the same $10 Walmart dress I’ve been wearing over and over, but in a different color! They&#8217…

Lace Bodysuit + Body Confidence

I think it’s clear by now that Lizzo is a QUEEN. Her music inspires confidence and empowerment. Even women in very serious relationships and marriages can’t get enough of her BA music. I attended a Lizzo concert in July and it was amazing. I wanted to wear an outfit that was inspired by her music. Something sexy and classy, something that gave me confidence. I couldn’t decide what I wanted to wear. Nothing really fit the idea I was going for. Then I found this amazing plus size bodysuit that’s absolutely gorgeous…

Basic Invite Stationery + Baby Shower Cards

Raise your hand if you thought the paper you write on was spelled stationary. As a journalism major, I am ashamed to admit that I didn’t know it was stationery. But here we are. Thank you Basic Invite for teaching me the difference! I’ve worked with Basic Invite previously, and I’m excited to partner with them again. They have a great selection of stationery and cards, with almost unlimited colors (seriously, over 180 options to choose from, and each stationery set is customizable), and a large selection of fonts. They even have foil options…

Slytherin / T-Swift Inspired Outfit

Hello, I’m Courtney, and I’m a proud Slytherin. I’ve been obsessed with Harry Potter since the beginning. I also have been a Taylor Swift fan since the beginning… like, saw her in a Walmart concert when I was in high school, OG fan. Well y’all, I found an outfit that combines my love of both. This shirt has a snake. Hello Slytherin and T-Swift. I love it so much. I love the hands on the shirt with the red nails. I think it’s so fun and definitely gives…

I Just Want to Pet Dogs & Drink Pumpkin Spice Lattes

It’s here! PSL has officially launched at Starbucks. Pumpkin spice has been out at Dunkin and other local coffee shops, but the original is BACK as of today! I found the perfect shirt for PSL release date… so of course Remus joined me for a little photo shoot. This shirt was made for me. I think it’s so cute and quirky. Such a fun little shirt. I walked into Starbucks this morning with this shirt, and the barista said, “I guess you want a pumpkin spice latte.” Why yes, yes I do. I…

Purple Cardigan + Leopard Print // Fall Outfit

Fall is almost here! We’ve had some cooler weather lately, and my little heart is so happy. I’m so ready for sweaters, boots, Fall decor, and all things Halloween. I love sprucing up an all black outfit with a pop of color. I’ve talked about that in numerous outfit posts. This purple cardigan is cute, affordable, and it such a pretty color for Fall. It’s different than tones I usually think of for Fall, but I think it’s really nice, and different can be a really good thing! I threw…

Expectations on Women

My friend Lindsay (of Bourbon and Lipstick) started a podcast, Influenced the Podcast, with another blogger, Christine. I’ve really been enjoying it, and highly highly recommend it. Their latest topic was expectations on women. They put out a survey asking what expectations women have, and I wanted to discuss some of my thoughts on the questions asked in the survey, specifically the pressures of being single and having children. I’m not going to discuss every question in the survey, just ones that really hit me hard. Things are going to get a little personal in here…

Casual Zoo Outfit

I usually go to the zoo a couple of times a year with a friend. For Christmas, we got each other zoo memberships. I got us Cincinnati Zoo passes, and he got us Louisville Zoo passes. It was completely unplanned, but it was a nice surprise. We decided to go over the 4th of July weekend, and it was HOT. I wanted to be comfortable, so I wore a cute but very light outfit. Tanks are amazing in the summer. I know black is not everyone’s first option, but it’s my outfit preference most of the…

Black Plaid Versatile Dress

Versatile clothing pieces are my favorites. I love things that I can dress up or down. I’ve discussed this many times on the blog. I want things I can wear over and over. I found a dress that is gorgeous, flattering, and VERY versatile, so I obviously had to share! The first place I wore this dress was to work. I had so many compliments on this dress, and I didn’t mind a bit. The straps are my favorite part. They can be worn on the shoulders, or down for an off the shoulder look (if…

Orange Tank + Leopard Cardigan // Fall Outfit

Leopard is definitely a big trend this year, and I am absolutely here for it. This is one trend coming back from the 90’s that I can get behind. Maybe it’s my forever love for Shania Twain that will also keep my leopard love alive. I wore this outfit to work, and had so many compliments all day. My favorite response is always “It’s from Walmart.” Walmart has stepped up their game so much lately, and this cardigan is so amazing. The leopard print is in right now, and it’s…
