Class, show of hands. Who thought I had dropped insta dead and was never coming back?? 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ Well, I’m backkkk and I’ve got an extra exciting #oneweekwardrobe this week to share some of my new favorite @everlane pieces. Can you guess which piece it is? 👀

Miss me? 😉 I’m back in insta town for one day only. That is, until I get the time to dress in clothes that aren’t covered in paint and drywall because ya girl bought a fixer upper! 🏠 On the schedule for the next month is: being the Chip to my own Joanna, complaining incessantly about the paint choices of previous owners, andddd buying cute house decor with no theme in mind at all.

“Ugh, murder me right now I hate this.” ....do you mean that? Honestly, who knows at this point 🤷🏻‍♀️

How can you make a sweatshirt like this one look classy? Just one extra little thing. Yep, that’s the answer! 😉⁣
⁣
It’s the magic of a third piece that ties together a sweatshirt and jeans into a LOOK. In my first outfit I used a blue hair tie to make my hair look more intentional and tie into the shirt colors. I also slightly tucked the sweatshirt to make it less baggy. ⁣
⁣
In my second outfit, a jean jacket does the trick and provides some extra cozy warmth! You don’t need any specific piece to make casual outfits more put together, you just need that one extra piece! Maybe it’s a necklace, some great shoes, a jacket, or a hair accessory. 🎀⁣
⁣
But I pinky promise that one little extra piece will make a worldddd 🌏 of difference!

I’m not a big accessories girl, because when you have red hair it’s like walking around with one permanent accessory! 👩🏻‍🦰⁣
⁣
But sometimes a girl has to contain her hair in a fashionable way, and these little hair ties are absolutely perfect. I made this pretty blue one, and I’ve got a super quick tutorial for you sewers and non sewers! ⁣
⁣
1) Cut out a rectangle of fabric approximately 6 inches by 42 inches ⁣
⁣
2) Fold in half lengthwise, and then cut the ends on an angle to give it that angled end. ⁣
⁣
3) If you sew, sew a seam around all sides leaving a small hole to turn the tube inside out when you’re finished. ⁣
⁣
4) Non Sewers, fold under approximately a half inch of fabric on all sides and glue the sides together so you have a flat tube and no raw edges. Use fabric glue for long lasting, hot glue if you’re in a pinch. ⁣
⁣
5) Turn your tube right side out if you sewed it, and sew the little hole shut. ⁣
⁣
6) You're done! ⁣
⁣
Tie it in your hair and stun em all 🎀

Do you loveeee t-shirts like me but also occasionally need to dress like an actual adult? Adulting is the worst, but you can totally still rock a tee! ⁣
⁣
In yesterday’s outfit I wore my black tee with some black jeans and a string of pearls to class it up a bit. The power of jewelry is real, y’all. 💍⁣
⁣
Then today, I was able to dress casually and threw on my favorite jean shorts and a hair tie. If you absolutely must be an adult, try pairing a great necklace with a well fitted tee to immediately step up that style game but stay in your comfort zone 💕
