All of these are budget-friendly, and you may even have most of these things around your house. Join me as I get our house ready for all things fall. For inside the house, I like to keep things more on a fall theme as opposed to Halloween so that I can keep the decorations up longer.

How to Style Pleated Skirts 5 Ways

dousedinpink — Thu, 10 Sep 2020 11:00:00 +0000

Bo’s Bodacious Blog: How to Style Pleated Skirts Hello!!!!! I am so EXCITED to be guest hosting with the wonderful Carrie from Curly Crafty Mom. Thank you, Jill from Doused in Pink, for giving me this opportunity this week to step into your shoes. Jill is helping her daughter move back to university to continue her education and is taking a much-deserved break. Both Jill and Carrie have amazing blogs that feature not only pretty clothes and fashion inspiration but thoughtfully written posts about their current stage of life. During the pandemic, I have NOT done a lot of shopping for my closet. Honestly, I just can’t seem to find the inspiration or the need for stuff, so I have really been digging into my current wardrobe and challenging myself to wear pieces I love but don’t wear on a regular basis. See when I was in an office job as a consultant, I presented a lot, went to meetings and also working in classrooms. I got dressed up more often, and I would be lying if I said I don’t miss that. So many of the clothes now seem too dressy and just sit in my…

Two Ways to Wear Bold Pants | Graceful Rags

dousedinpink — Tue, 08 Sep 2020 11:00:00 +0000

Hello! My name is Grace, and I’m SO excited to be guest posting for Jill today as she takes her daughter back to college. I run the fashion blog gracefulrags.com (Instagram: @graceful_rags), where I talk about all things affordable fashion and occasionally dabble in a college or lifestyle post. I’m passionate about reworking the pieces in our closets in new ways in order to make the most of our clothes and save money. Oh, and did I mention I have a *slight* obsession with cost per wear?! But that’s enough about me, let’s get to today’s post—and these fabulous pants. Since Jill recently shared “How to Transition Your Summer Dresses to Fall”, I wanted to do a similar post showcasing how to restyle your favorite palazzo or other summer pants into autumn. I bought these pants on sale for $15 from Francesca’s last year, and they sat in my closet for ages because they were too big in the waist… (the woes of having hips, am I right?). But thankfully, my aunt saved the day, teaching me how to sew this summer and helping me tailor these fun pants. Now they fit like a glove! (Although, as I was eating…

As you probably just guessed – I am a lawyer by day, but I run LLB as a style blog on the side. I focus mostly on “wear to work” style since, as a young professional, I was finding a lack of outfit inspiration for looks that were work appropriate but still fashionable and fun. So, I decided I would start sharing my outfits with a goal of inspiring others! While my blog posts predominately showcase office outfits, I do love to show my casual weekend or date night style from time to time (especially on my instagram where I post a lot of…
