Guest Post - Ryah Sofia

Hi all!  I wanted to let you know I am guest blogging over at Ryah Sofia blog today.  Angie designs hair accessories and asked me to style a woman's outfit and a little girl's outfit to go with her Tinsel Tidings applique.  Here is a sneak peak of the woman's outfit.  Head on over to Ryah Sofia blog to see the child's outfit and all of the sources for the outfits!

Pleated skirts are very "in" right now, but they're more than just a trend.  Pleated skirts feel feminine and dainty, but in a dark color they can become both office and night-time appropriate.  I kept the pleated theme going by pairing the skirt with a neutral chiffon top, and then added some fun into the outfit in the form of the purple snakeskin clutch.  Keep the rest of the accessories tasteful (black suede wedges, simple stud earrings, and a single bracelet) so not to overwhelm the simple silhouette.  (Sidenote:  This is not a Thrifty Thursday post, but the entire look just so happens to be only slightly over $200... lucky you!)

Running errands can seem so much less tiresome if you take a few minutes to put yourself together before you run out the door.  I know I have a pretty big reader base of Moms and I want to help you understand that dropping the kids off at school and grocery shopping can be so much more fun if you take 15 minutes to put together an outfit that makes you feel good.  Don't have 15 minutes in the morning to make a proper outfit?  Take 15 minutes after you put the kids to bed to check the weather for the next day and survey your closet for possible options, that way when the craziness of the day starts, you aren't grabbing your yoga pants and sweatshirt in a moment of weakness.  Heels not an option?  Find a pair of lower wedges or swap out the flair jean for a straight leg pant and wear flats instead!  Fashion has no strict rules and the opportunities are endless to make different looks fit your life.
