Steal Her Style: Gwyneth Paltrow's Preppy Stripes

For this month's first Steal Her Style post, I wanted to share Gwyneth Paltrow's stripes on stripes look. First off, stripes is one of those tried and true prints that stays in style all year long. And secondly mixing prints and patterns seems to be a hot trend this Spring and Summer, so why not mix up your stripes. What makes this look work is the play on light and dark. 

I chose to use Gwyn's look as an inspiration for my outfit, but modified a few things to work for me. The hemline of Gwyn's skirt while gorgeous on her, just doesn't work on my 5'4 frame. It would make my legs appear shorter and so I chose to go with a body con skirt that hit just above the knee.

WIW: Blueprints

I'm so exited to be sharing with you this look, mostly because I love these shorts. I found these babies while scouring the racks of Marshalls. I was so happy they were exactly my size, I don't have a pair of floral shorts and was actually thinking I needed a pair. 

There are so many outfit possibilities with these shorts. And print mixing was the first thing that came to my mind when I spotted these shorts. Who doesn't love a little print mixing, right?

WIW: White Out

I've been dying to try this white on white trend for some time now, but I've been terrified too. Chasing 2 toddlers around all day isn't the cleanest job, which has kept me from trying this trend sooner. But I decided to give it a chance over the weekend. And thank goodness I took these pictures in the AM because I definitely got food on myself just minutes after taking these. If there's no chance of spilling on yourself then go on and try out this all white look. But if you're prone to spills and stains make sure you've packed one of those bleach pens in your bag the day you wear all white.

Lastly, some of you may be wondering what happened to Two-fer Tuesday's. Well now that we're in June I wanted to start a new series, "Steal Her Style," where I will share celebrity inspired looks. I received so much positive feedback on my recent Inspired by MK & Ashley post that I thought it would be fun to make it a weekly thing. So, please leave comments letting me know which celebrity styles you envy and who knows I just may "Steal Her Style." Look for my first post later this week.

WIW: Denim on Denim

Hello June!
Hope you had a wonderful first weekend of June and are experiencing beautiful warm weather as we head into Summer.

This weekend, I stumbled across this adorable printed denim skirt at my favorite place, Target. I couldn't leave without it. Denim is an essential to anyone's wardobe, that great pair of jeans, shorts, and shirts, I have them all, but the only thing that was missing from my wardrobe was a great denim skirt. Granted I worked at Abercrombie in college so I do have a stash of denim mini skirts, but I don't find them ever appropriate to wear any longer. Not only are they literally mini, but they're just so not cool any longer. I don't know why I still have them. But my closet was in dire need of a denim skirt for this Summer. And along comes this skirt, with it's tribal print and light wash, I knew it was the perfect skirt for Summer.

Also, the fit of this skirt is incredible! I've never had anything from Target fit so perfectly. So if you're looking for this skirt, know that it does run a bit smaller then other Target bottoms. And if you're petite, the XS is very true to size. I find that Target does vanity size and often times their XS do not fit as a XS should which usually leads me to hot washing and shrinking. I won't ever buy anything from Target that requires tailoring, it's just not worth it, but a hot wash to shrink before I first wear it is not totally out of the question. But this skirt fit without any hot washes. So I definitely recommend this for you petite gals looking for a cheap but cute denim skirt.
