Fall Necessity

The first thing I invest in for the fall season is a few pairs of boots. I feel like you can have a very simple outfit and the boots bring it all together! This is one thing that I will splurge on if I found a pair that is worth the price. These boots are at different price points, but I thought each boot fit every type of style. The red wedge booties are next on my list! Which ones do you like?


You can find all of these options here.

These are a few items I am loving for fall! Find the link to each of these items here.

Cardigan Whore

Yep, you read that right..I am a cardigan whore! It is a desperate need of mine to own a cardigan in every single color and pattern imaginable! I love them because they can be effortlessly casual (yet still cute) or you can dress them up. It is my number one closet necessity. I have been asked many times "If I want to start dressing better and putting outfits together, what what piece do you suggest I start with?" My answer is ALWAYS go get some cardigans.

I was at Target this past weekend and spotted these super adorable "boyfriend" cardigans. Perfect length, perfect colors. Since many of you already know, I am on a shopping ban..which  just to update you, I have been doing amazing! I will admit though, I am very spoiled by my husband and my parents which has made this 90 (or 60 haha) day shopping ban a bit easier. My Dad decided to buy me the red, black, and mustard cardigans since they were 15.00 instead of 20.00 and he knows I am addicted to them. When I am off my shopping ban I will proceed to buy every other color. The end. Now go go get 'em before they sell out. You won't find any more like 'em.

You Can't go wrong with a fabulous cardi or a scarf that goes with everything.

Boyfriend jeans? The ONLY jeans to wear..comfy AND cute!!

Black studs? So different than pearls or diamonds and I am in love with these Kate Spade ones!

I have yet to try a Peplum shirt, but I can't wait to get my hands on one! This one features an exposed zipper in the back!

These House of Harlow sunnies are on sale right now and I am dyyyyyying because I can't snatch them up! Unique shape, and I LOVE the black tint!

Gap City Flat. They are sooooo comfortable...I have my Sister wearing them now!!

Double Take

First I spotted this cute lil number in the J.Crew catalogue, then I spotted a much cheaper version at Old Navy!!

                         J.crew 268.00                                                                    Old Navy 25.00


Don't mind the weird angles on the Old Navy sweater, I had to edit out a girl wearing it!!!! Anyway, I of course picked up the Old Navy version!

A Change of Heart...

I have never really liked stripes...they never appealed to me in clothing, and to be quite honest I never owned anything with stripes until this year! Now I am in LOVE with stripes...When I start to love something, I really have to watch myself, because before I know it I will have a closet full of stripes, or neons, or polka dots. I was recently at Target Saturday, Sunday, Monday  and noticed they had some really awesome stripes going on. I decided to put together a Polyvore set for all my classyclosetconfessions friends! These are all super affordable pieces, and I tried to include everyones different take on stripes... not so much a stripe fan? Maybe start out with some flats. Lovin' stripes like me? Go for the dresses! Kinda don't know? Try this super cute top with a peter pan collar!







Yes the chair is random but super cute right? And I can't believe its at TARGET!!

Oh and the flats are from American Eagle..just a heads up! You can find out all the deets here

And here are my casual stripes I had on today!! XXO~K

Monogram Madness!

Hey ya'll!! I am still alive and kicking and no, I have not given up on the blog!! I have been super busy with moving, finding a job, visiting family and running all over the state of Kansas!! I had a quick minute since we opted out of making a fast run to Kansas City, so I decided to blog!!! Bear with me as the posts may be sporadic but I will get a routine down as soon as we move! XXO

Ok, Monograms are so big right now! I find myself wanting to monogram EVERYTHING. I wanted to share my top things that look so super cute with a monogram on it! I have a  necklace that says B&K in scroll letters and I get tons of compliments on it every time I wear it!

1. The first monogram item you could hang on your front door with a ribbon!

2. A coozie? I am in...everyone needs a cute monogrammed coozie :)

3. Cute beach bag = Cute gift

4. I love love love this bracelet and it is super affordable! 

5. Monogrammed pillow? yep you need one sittin' on your couch!

6. Wristlet? I have ya covered!! I love this take on a monogram with the anchor..I will be ordering this!! I think my Instagram friend Whitney would love this too!!

7. Don't want anybody to steal your sunhat? Well get it monogrammed :) 

8. Have an Ipad? I do and I want to order this cover so bad!

9. Out of all these items,  I recommend a necklace! I absolutely love mine!!

10. I love this chevron/monogrammed iphone case! 

11. Anthropologie coffee mug! I drink out of mine alllll the time! 

12. Mousepad...I have never seen a monogrammed mousepad but I am thinking I need one!

So here is my list of monogrammed must haves! Now I will say...I don't want you to take this literally and walk around with a monogrammed phone, necklace, bracelet, wristlet, sunhat, coozie and beach bag hahahaha!! 

Have a fab day and I will be back on here regularly very soon!!

Kyleigh's Summer Must Haves!

Get summer ready with my list of must haves!!!

1. SUNGLASSES- my choice for summer sunglasses are BIG ones. Ones that will cover my eyes AND protect me from crows feet and under eye wrinkles!

2. Swimsuit- This year choose a BOLD color. I am loving all things royal blue at the moment!

3. MOISTURIZE- especially those lips. Josie Maran has a great moisturizing line!

4. Minimal Makeup- In the heat of summer my makeup routine is maybe 5 minutes. My every day look consists of mascara, foundation and bronzer. I can't wait to try this airbrush foundation from Sephora!!

5. Comfy, cute sandals- I picked this silver color because they will go with EVERYTHING.

6. NO MORE BOOTY SHORTS LADIES- This year the longer, preppy shorts are in and I am oh so glad! I have found my favorite ones from J.CREW but these are from Target and are super cute as well! Don't be afraid to get fun colors and pair with a simple white v-neck...cute and comfy and out the door you go!

7. Sun hat- Find a cute one and wear it! Not only does it protect your hair from getting dry and nasty from the sun it also keeps the sun off your face and shoulders...think about those wrinkles ladies!!

8. Polish- Pick a bright fun color. Its a great way to add color to your summer look!

9. Bronzer- define your face a bit for that perfect sunkissed look!

10. SUNSCREEN- This is a hard one for me...I have never worn sunscreen in my life because I have NEVER been sunburnt but as I am getting ready to turn 24 I want to do as much prevention for wrinkles as possible so I am forcing myself to remember that sunscreen!

11. Lips- Since makeup is minimal go for a fun coral or pink color! It will add some color to your face without looking like a clown since you won't have eyeshadow and blush on :)

I am so happy to be back to blogging!! Look for fun posts throughout the week! XXO ~K

Interview Options

Ok everyone, I have an interview scheduled for this week (prayers please!) and the fashionista that I am, I am worried about what I should wear. I know I should keep it simple and relaxed, not too distracting, and keep along the guidelines of business casual. If you follow my fashiondiaries on Instagram, you know I am everything but those things. I love bright colors and crazy patterns, pattern mixing, and fun shoes! I decided to get on Polyvore and create an interview set, which I shouldn't have done because now I want to go buy these exact pieces and the nearest shopping center to me is AN HOUR AND A HALF AWAY!! Anyway, I figured I would share this with all of my classyclosetconfession friends in case you too may have an interview or business casual event in your future! You can find the info on these affordable pieces here.

Summer Trend: Maxi Skirts

Currently stocking up on maxi skirts for the summer. Let me tell you, they are the comfiest thing ever. They are comfy but cute. Breathable. Perfect for summer. Period end of story, go buy some right now! Seriously I have two and I absolutely love them! I will be stocking up on them for the summer months. I have gotten many compliments when I have worn my maxi skirts. You can get really creative with a maxi skirt...wanna dress it up? add a belt or wedges, dress it down..add a sunhat and some comfy flip flops! You can find this Polyvore set here. Happy Thursday, and don't forget to check back for DIY FRIDAY!!!

Old Navy Style

Hey everyone! Sorry I have been MIA lately! I have just had A LOT going on and in any free time I do have, I have been preparing for our move soon! Anyway, have any of you been into an OLD NAVY lately? They have some really amazing stuff! The first look I created has theme of ORANGE AND BLUE...I am absolutely loving this color combo lately and I set it off with some fun shoes! The second look is a beautiful swimsuit. I couldn't import one of their cover ups but I love to make swim suits  part of an outfit...especially if I am on vacation! Pair this suit with cute wedges like these blue ones and a simple cover up and you are set! The last look is a fun, comfy day in the sun look! I spend a lot of time at baseball tournaments during the summer. The look I go for is comfy, cool and something that doesn't scream I HAVE BEEN AT A BASEBALL TOURNAMENT ALL DAY when we go shopping or eating afterwards! You can find this polyvore set here. Hope Monday is treating you well and I promise to blog this week!!

The Color That Goes With Everything!

This season the color that goes with EVERYTHING is YELLOW! I have started incorporating it into my bedroom decor, I pop outfits with a hint of yellow, and I love color blocking with  yellow (I absolutely love turquoise and yellow together!). I thought I would share some fun pieces with you that are all under 50 dollars! You can find each of these items here .

One piece Options!

I have decided that this swimsuit season I want to try to find a cute, flirty one piece to wear on occasion. There are some instances where I just don't feel like flaunting it in a bikini, perhaps...family vacay! Anyway, I was on the hunt today and thought I would share my results with all of you! I want to feel cute with a bit left to the imagination.. What do you think of the ones I have found? A little bit vintage, a little girly, a little flirty all included!!








You can find all these options here

Hope Monday was marvelous for ya!!! XXO

Coral

Can you guess one of my favorite colors ? CORAL ... you guessed it! I love it for the home, for shoes, jewelry, lips, swimsuit, on my nails...on ANYTHING! It is one of the biggest colors of the season! If you like any of these coral pieces you can find this set on my Polyvore here. Happy Monday! Heres to a great week!!

Outfit Sets!

I recieved an email from a reader that was in a rut when it came to her office outfits. I had originally told her that one of my go to closet pieces is a cardigan. I try not to get cardigans in black, gray or white, but in pops of color. When I got to thinking about this, it popped into my head the she lives  in Texas and as we all know it gets very hot there so I doubt she wants to run out and buy some cardigans! Mallory...use that idea in the Fall! I created a set on Polyvore that is very affordable. Every piece is under 50.00 and the pieces come from Target, Payless, Old Navy and Maurices. Mallory is a mom so I wanted to create pieces that were comfortable, cute and could transition into mommy duties when she picks up her little boy after work!

You can find all the information on this Polyvore set here .

She also asked me to help her with some ideas for what her family could wear to a photo shoot since I am also a photographer! One thing that makes for great pictures is when the family is dressed cute! We can do without the matchy matchy outfits in all white or black. You also do not want to compete prints. For example, don't do more than one person in stripes or plaid. For a photo shoot you want to mix and match but still look put together. Some of my favorite family photos that I have taken was because the family was dressed in colorful but coordinating outfits! 

So Mallory I hope this Polyvore set is helpful. Take these ideas and adapt them to your individual styles for your family. Thanks for asking me for advice. I absolutely loved creating these sets for you! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask. Find this Polyvore set here

If anyone else would like me to create a set of outfits for you please email me at classyclosetconfessions@gmail.com

Save vs. Splurge

Can you tell which one is the splurge outfit and which one is the save outfit? I do this often in my outfits..I see an outfit I really like and if I don't have the money that month to splurge then I recreate it for a lot less! Old Navy, Gap, American Eagle, Target and stores like that have really stepped up their game when it comes to quality of clothing and even asking designers to design for that season at an affordable price!



This outfit is from J.Crew and totals 425.00                               This outfit totals 70.00

                                                                                                            Top: Old Navy 15.00, Pants American Eagle: 35.00, wedges Payless: 20.00

Maurices, Old Navy, Target, and American Eagle! You can find all the information on these outfits that I created on Polyvore here .

Rainy Day Fashion

Its a rainy day here in Kansas and it got me thinking about how you can still be fashionable AND practical even on a rainy day! It is so easy to feel so BLAH on a day filled with gray clouds, bad hair and puddles. So here is what I suggest...throw your hair into a bun or fun braid, slip on some super cute rain boots, rain coat and grab your trendy umbrella! Here are some super affordable sets I created on Polyvore which you can find all the info and prices here .

What do you guys think? Most of the items in the set are from TARGET! I was so close to buy a super cute raincoat this weekend and talked myself out of it...now I have a lake in my backyard since it has been raining allllll day! haha oh well!
