Tumblr Crush Thursday: Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving loves! I hope that everyone is taking today and spending time with friends and family while reveling in how lucky you are. If you even have a computer or phone on which you read this, you probably have a pretty blessed life.

Some things on Tumblr this week reminded me of why I am a truly lucky girl. 
In the week of November 19th I'm crushing on:
 Image 1: I'm thankful that I have a closet full of clothes that keep me happy and warm, even in harsh Ohio winters.
Images 2&3: I'm thankful that I have money to spend on my passion. That I can afford expensive makeup because it makes me happy. And that I have had true love--I know what it feels like to have someone who is there for you, to always make you smile, and put you first. Even if it wasn't a forever love.
 Image 4: I'm thankful that I've been blessed enough to travel the world at such a young age, and more is to come. Not many people can say they spend years in Europe as a child.
 Images 5&6: I'm thankful for the friends that accept me in all my goofiness, and are just as weird. It makes life fun...
 ...and the friends that have been, and will always, be there. No matter what. (1:2).
Image 7: I'm thankful that I can study fashion. And make a career out of what I love. And that I already have an amazing job that thousands of people would kill for. And the chance to work with a lot of other amazing companies as well, like CollegeFashionista (thank you, Amy!) and RenttheRunway.

Follow me on Tumblr for more amazing inspo! And follow on BLOGLOVIN' because it's an amazing way to keep track of all your favorite blogs!

No matter what you do or don't have, today is the day to appreciate all of the little things. I have an amazing family, group of friends and more. There is always something in life to be thankful for, we just have to take a minute and realize that. 
I hope you have a wonderful day & break amazing readers! I am so thankful for you, too.
And from a Black Friday employee...try not to go too crazy tomorrow!

Switch It Up

One of my favorite parts about blogging is being exposed to different styles. It's amazing how women from all over the world have such distinct interpretations of fashion. 
Sarah, the blogger behind Classy Girls Wear Pears has the quintessential New England preppy style down to a "T." I love reading through her blog and bookmarking my favorite outfits, then using them as a loose guideline on days when I don't know what to wear. She had an amazing collection of Milly dresses and more button-ups than I can imagine.

I decided to do a style switch post taking some of my favorite outfits of hers and showing you how versatile they can be with a few changes!
With interesting basics like this sweater or these bermuda shorts, switching what you wear on one half can completely change your look. From preppy to edgy or bohemian.

In this switch, changing the outer layer is everything! Good outerwear can make such an impact. Layering on a floral sweater is a fun mix of patterns, or add some faux fur for a luxurious look.

Lastly, changing what you wear underneath vertain pieces can change your whole outfit. A lacy bodycon dress that shows above AND below a skirt is a fun play on proportions. Or add leather pants and boots to an oxford for a sexy "I-just-woke-up-and-look-this-good" vibe.

No matter your style, take a not from prepsters like Sarah. HEr collection and endless combo of classic pieces shows how valuable they are! Changing little details and adding new accessories can shift the entire feeling of a look. Play around with it!

Who are your favorite bloggers to draw inspo from?
