I am 24 and I still wear things with Disney characters on them…
But honestly, who doesn’t love Mickey Mouse? If you answer no to that question, exit left!! I am just kidding (kind of).
Do you still love Disney?

Blue Knit
I love knit just as much as I love lace…
I am in love with knit clothing items! During this winter season I crave all things cozy. Probably the one thing I love about winter is the clothing. Since I am not meant for weather conditions such as snow, ice, and rain I have started to learn the art of layering. Oh, what? You didn’t know I was meant to be running around on a beach with sand between my toes! A girl can dream right?!
Anyways, so what sparked my interest in layering? This very picture right here:
I saw a post on how to layer on the Free People Blog during the summer and I fell in love.
Then I also saw this Vogue ad and thought she looked so AMAZING:
Layering is really simple. It looks complicated because of the amount of threads you’re dealing with but it is all about what makes you feel cozy and comfortable during these cold winter months! Stay tuned for more posts on layering and other winter style favorites.

Galaxy Leggings Make My Heart Beat
I fell in love with galaxy leggings…
As soon as I saw these leggings they spoke to me and I knew I needed them in my life.
You see, it was like we were meant to be.
Vulcan salute to you!!

Something Blue {Wednesday’s Threads}
My favorite jacket…
I am an avid reader of Diana’s website Manhattan Image and Style she writes about everything from personal improvement and inspiration to beauty and style tips. I was on her website yesterday and she had this amazing outfit on , the plaid and leather made me swoon.
I have a leather jacket that I purchased a few years ago from T. J. Maxx and so I decided to run with Diana’s idea and create my own look…
I absolutely love this jacket!! I am the type of person that wears bright colors all year around regardless of whether or not the leaves are falling.
Etta’s Style Advice: You don’t have to go out and spend a ton of money on an outfit. You can use pieces that you bought a few years ago and add them to new pieces. If I see something I like, for example Diana’s outfit, I try and recreate with what I have and put my own style into it. Your style is what sets you apart!!
Stay Inspired,

I love this blouse. Needless to say, I have a love affair with lace.
I was setting the self timer and it got me!!
Hope ya’ll are doing well. Missing the south, fall is starting to set in and I am the biggest baby when it comes to being cold.
What is your favorite season?

’90s Floral Dress {Tuesday’s Threads}
To say that I am excited that the ’90s fashion trends are in for fall…is a complete understatement.
I went thrift shopping the other day on the hunt for ’90s inspired items, this is the look I found.
The dress and belt are thrift pieces.
I love this outfit! For the fall time, I am planning on piecing it with some tights and some brown leather boots I have.

Are you excited the ’90s trends are trending again? Do you thrift shop?

Floral Peplum Tops & Flare Jeans {Thursday’s Threads}
One Blouse & One Look from Day to Night
Your day has been busy, but you have plans that evening and there is no time to go home and completely revamp yourself.
Have no fear! You don’t have to drive, walk, or catch a train all the way home. You can add pieces to your outfit or even remove pieces that will have you looking fab from day to night in no time!
I have a new blouse that I was piecing together to see how versatile it is with what I have in my closet. When I shop, the first thing I ask myself is “How versatile is the item?”. I am a college student and I have a family, so budgeting is a necessity. I don’t have the means, as of now, to go out and buy a new outfit each and every time my husband and I have an event or I have a meeting.
Fashion is what you buy. Style is what you do with it.
That is one of my all time favorite quotes because style is what you choose. I love the fact that you can take one item of clothing and style it in different ways and get a uniquely different look each time.
Since my day will be busy and the husband I have plans later this evening I wanted to be able to take what I have on from day to night.
It all started with…
That I wanted to take from…
To…
During the day, I like to keep it neutral and not to saucy. I am doing school work, attending appointments, being a mom, etc all during the day. As much as I love to dress up and look fancy, I realize that wearing night wear during the day is not realistic or practical for the situations I am in. The burnt orange blazer with the ruched 3/4 length sleeves, makes this blouse professional and wearable for day time activities.
When it comes to night time, I want to jazz myself up. I love black. Black can be used as a nighttime or daytime wear color. However, with this particular blazer I am dubbing it as an event clothing item. It is dressy but still casual.
What about your makeup?
For the daytime makeup I wanted to keep it simple and not very dramatic. I used the Wet n Wild Fergie’s Centerstage Collection palette in “Newport Nights”. I put the lilac color on my lid (bottom right color of palette) and the gold color that is in the center of the palette on my crease. I then lined the top lashes with Cailyn’s cosmetics gel eye liner in purple. I extended that line out a little past my lashes…
Why?
For night time I wanted to do a cat eye look using the same purple eye liner and also line my bottom lashes. Like so…
By adding the cat eye look and adding liner to my bottom lashes, it gives my eyes a dramatic look! Now, I am ready to have a night out on the town!!
How do you transform your looks from day to night when there is not much time to spare?
