Finding ways to reuse and re-style key pieces in your wardrobe is the secret to a versatile and long-lasting collection of mix and match pieces for a girl-on-the-go’s dream closet. After all the last thing a busy girl with a day job, a passion project and/or friends, family, social life and down time needs is super complicated outfit options.

floral prints for fall and winter

Just because the weather is cooling down or downright chilly doesn’t mean you can’t bring a little life to your fall and winter wardrobe. One of the easiest ways to switch up the doom and gloom of dreary weather is with a little infusion of romantic floral prints. You might be thinking, um huh? Floral prints in fall and winter? But trust us, there are only so many variations of plaid, cable knit and houndstooth before your calling in sick with winter style boredom.

9 Secrets For Making the Clothes You Love, Last

November 5, 2015
how to make your clothes last longer

Lately I’ve been trying to be more cognizant of what I buy thinking of things like how I see myself using an item long-term and how useful it is with other pieces in my closet. I’m partially inspired by this whole concept of thoughtful consumption, the new film The True Cost but also just gosh darn tired of getting sucked into buying stuff that I don’t love and won’t use past the next month. So when deciding to buy something is as much a labor of love as you can imagine it would be for an over analytical thoughtful geek like me, the last thing you want to happen is for an item you LOVE and add to the family, to get ruined or damaged!

Fall: The Season to Refocus and Rejuvenate Your Wardrobe

August 7, 2015
Anyone else getting excited for Fall? One of Jen's Fall rituals is doing a deep dive into her wardrobe to refocus, simplify and refresh for a new beginning in the new season! Taking on a challenge like that can be DAUNTING and completely over whelming but can also be incredibly cleansing and can give you that feeling of beginning again! Follow along on Seek Wander Share tomorrow as we share how we refocus and refresh our wardrobes for Fall! {www.blog.seekwandershare.com} #fallstyle #seekwandershare #flannel #beginagain

Fall. The season when the leaves start to change, the unbearable heat becomes a very teeny tiny amount more bearable (who’s joking, there’s really no relief until winter in the south), football season is upon us AND most importantly a fresh start is in the air. What better way to grab the fresh start by the shirt lapels of your closet and say “I’m gonna refocus, refresh and rejuvenate you whether you like it or not!”.

The Simple White Tank Goes Out on a Hot Date

simple white tank for date night

tank splendid | asymmetrical skirt (zara old) similar , splurge | fedora (francesca’s old) similar | sandals steve madden gea | satchel (target old) similar

Yesterday I shared my secret obsession with white tops and how they make the foundation of my wardrobe for practically any occasion especially food truck hopping. Today, my favorite white tank is taking our relationship to the next level and we’re going out on a hot date together. See the thing I love most about my partner in crime is that it’s down for anything and can easily go from food truck hopping to a hot date at one of my favorite Austin eateries, Sway. I mean come on, isn’t that like the number one criteria girls look for in a beau for life? undoubtedly, yes.

The Simple White Tank Goes Food Truck Hopping

July 21, 2015
basic white tank

A few weeks ago Melissa came over first thing in the morning to shoot some early morning shots at my desk for a Techie Girl Techie World post about Tagspire . In a wild turn of events, I was running late and she was on time, so while I continued to get the light right and try not to burn my breakfast, Mel thumbed through my closet. “You have so much new stuff in here!”, “I love this!”, “You have so many amazing white tops, like seriously such a good selection.” Her last comment that morning got me thinking about the fact that I really do have like 10 plus white tops, from silk blouses and linen button ups to the classic white cotton tank.

skirt ASOS | top (forever21 old) | bracelets Elle Gray | tote Whole Foods | shoes (target old)

As you may know from a few posts ago , this past month I have been on an VERY strict budget because I have been saving like a mad woman who didn’t plan her budgeting very well and has to do it all last minute (don’t be like me peeps!). Because of this, I’ve had to get verrrrry creative with my outfits, because let’s face it, even when a gals on a budget, it can be sooo boring to wear the same thing over and over again. So a gals gotta do what a gals gotta do to keep it fresh!

Bloggers Gonna Blog: Best Camera and Lens Advice for Newbie Bloggers

June 9, 2015
best camera and lens for bloggers

When Melissa and I started this blog, we had no idea how to use a camera, which one to buy, which lens would be useful and on top of that how to use all of it! I’ve always been a big fan of photography though, so I was super excited to learn and took on the research like it was my day job. I’m here to share with you what we’ve learned in the past 6 months of blogging with our current camera, what we did and what we would do differently camera wise if we had the chance to go back! We’re still figuring out how to get the best photos so this post will be more about your actual camera and lens than how to get the best photos. That post is still in progress lol!

zella workout wear

top Nordstrom | sports bra Nordstrom | shorts (old Nordstrom Rack) similar | shoes (old Nordstrom) similar

Sweaty, panting, torture….those are the three words that come to mind when Jen and I do Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide workout program. Now don’t take the word’s negative context as a sign of a treacherous workout routine that you should run far away from. As a matter of fact, it’s quite opposite! For you motivated ladies looking for a way to feel confident about your body, you have to try Kayla’s 12 week program to help you get fit, toned and strong. Her belief is simple – eat well, exercise often and make it about a lifestyle change.

If I Was a French Girl…

olivia palermo inspired look

striped top H&M | chiffon shorts (old) similar | target flats | red clutch (vintage) love this clutch | necklace (old) kate spade similar

If I was a french girl, I would wear stripes, red lips, a beret and sit eating macaroons all day long in front of the Eiffel Tower before jumping on my bike with a straw basket on the front full of fresh blooms, a baguette and champagne. Fortunately, I at least have the perfect outfit that I would wear in this super specific day dream of mine! I know this is a super literal take on being a french girl, and they’re so much more than stripes, red lips and vespas with boys, but thats the literal french girl in me I guess.

Bohemian state of mind

top Zara | pants Show Me Your Mumu (c/o Root Fashion and Aura) love these too | wedges (old) love these | earrings (old) similar | bag (old) similar

This past weekend I turned 25 and realized I’m half way through my 20’s. My friends who are in their 30’s all tell me they feel more sure of themselves, more confident in what they want and don’t want and are happier than in their 20’s, which got me thinking what’s the difference? And um, can I just start doing those things now so the back end of my 20’s feel just as happy, content and self-assured as I expect my 30’s to be (no pressure future self!)?

Destroyed Denim on Repeat

casual weekend denim look

denim H&M (less than $20!!) | linen tank (old) similar | sandals (old) Sam Edelman Trina , love leopard print ones too | utility jacket (old) similar | layered necklaces dogeared short & long similar

If these black destroyed denim shorts look familiar to you, its because you’ve seen their medium wash twin before in my lazy sunday look and in how I dressed up that lazy look for night lol! I seriously can’t rave about these H&M destroyed denim shorts enough. They fit really well, aren’t too tight or too loose and at less $20 are an obvious choice for dark destroyed denim shorts of the year, am I right?

On Saturdays We Wear Stripes

swing dress

dress (ASOS old) similar | sandals Sam Edelman ‘trina’ (on sale too!) | utility jacket (Nordstrom old) similar , also love this | hat Nordstrom | tote bag ESPEROS

The weather has been amazing lately in Austin and it’s got me pulling out all my spring and summer staples. Two of which are stripes and fedoras! I seriously love a striped anything which is kinda super obvious, see my summertime lounging-in-the-grass-and-in-a-striped-tee look here lol,  but stripes are just such a great warm weather staple. I think it’s mostly because they evoke nautical vibes of sun, sand and boating, but it could just be that fact that they’re also so versatile. Depending on how you style a striped piece, you could give off the obvious nautical vibes, or go straight up preppy with it or pair it with another print to go for quirky fun, or even pair it with a more utilitarian piece like this great utility jacket for a casual cool vibe.

Last week I shared with you my new favorite high-waisted denim shorts from H&M and how I styled them for a casual day of grass laying, fruit-infused water sipping and book reading. But these denim shorties aren’t just a one trick casual pony. No way! So today I’m sharing how I styled these H&M shorties for a sassy girls night out to an old favorite Mexican food joint, el Alma.

I got it from my Momma

May 12, 2015
tie romper

This past weekend I wore the cutest little sash romper to Mother’s Day with my family! I picked this up about a month ago and just hadn’t found the right opportunity to wear it since, but don’t get me wrong I’m obsessed with it. Its the perfect length, fit and cut! Unfortunately the exact one I picked up was from Forever21 and it’s sold out since it’s not a relatively new purchase (ps. since when did I have to buy something and then IMMEDIATELY post it for it to still be in stock? I suppose this is the price of fast fashion…anyways though!). BUT good news fellow romper-obssessed ladies! I found the exact one in cobalt blue and kelly green at Lulus , pretty peach at this random place online lol and finally in black at another random site haha!

striped tee and destroyed denim

shirt (Zara old) similar | cut-offs H&M | sandals (Tory Burch old) similar & splurge | hat (old) love this one | bag (old) similar

This is one of my favorite times of the year in Austin, because its just past that cold enough for an extra layering piece but not so warm that I can only stand to be outside mid-day if I’m either by water or in water. During this small window of weather perfection, I love to take advantage of laying around in the park next to my house and reading books, doing some yoga poses and planning upcoming trips.

Coral Crush

May 6, 2015
1

This past weekend, I re-discovered one of my favorite dresses hidden way in the back of my closet. I haven’t worn this coral maxi in a very long time. Who knows why? I guess it’s just human nature at times to get tired of seeing the same thing. Or maybe women are just predisposed to always want new things. Either way, I fell back in love with this high low coral maxi that I bought years ago for a trip to Hawaii.

Last weekend Melissa and I went explore one of her favorite little parks between her house and mine before heading to Contigo for dinner! I had never been to Contigo, so I wanted to wear something cute because I just really enjoy getting dressed up to go out. I had worn this same outfit a few weeks ago when my dad and I went to Cafe Josie (also a super cute dinner spot) and loved how playful, lighthearted and fun this look was!

Dress old Nordstrom Rack ( exact same on sale! , pink ) // crochet cardigan ( love this and this too !) // Sandals $15!! / bag old ( similar ) // lip Revlon Color Burst in Elusive

Since starting this blog with Melissa, I’ve put some pressure on myself to be constantly sharing with you all the newest and best things. But I realize, and hope you do too, that that’s not realistic! Not only do I have a budget to stick too, but I have a SUPER small closet! I can only fit so much in it and it’s currently starting to get really full. So instead of going shopping this week, I decided to shop my own closet again!
