Going out in style... Major Betty Style!!

 

I guess I should start this blog post by saying that the title was hard to make a final decision on- but I came to this one and figured it was appropriate. I am sad to say this will be my last blog post for Major Betty :(

But I figured I would go out with a bang and post my favorite vintage find!! When I found this camel cape with leopard trim, it truly completed my life! It is everything!! (besides my kiddo and hubby) :)

I was doing a cupcake delivery to Augusta, Ga and decided to swing into this vintage shop on the square called The Maze. I died when I saw it- it was in perfect condition and the price was an even bigger culprit to my demise- $38.00!!!

 

 This little blog has been the funnest little thing I have done in a long while, but I have to focus my time on other things- like things that actually make me money and not cause me to spend it! :)

So I am off to my next adventure and hope you guys have enjoyed my little outfits along the way :)

Thanks a bunch!!

All mixed up... In a good way!

Never being one to shy away from mixing patterns, I paired my beloved striped Forever21 boat neck top with my watercolor printed skirt from the Prabal Gurung collection that came to Target a couple of months back. My bold, chunky necklace ties the skirt in with it's similar coral color and I kept my shoes neutral :)

 Top- Forever21; Skirt- Prabal Gurung for Target (no longer available) Also love this one from Modcloth!; Necklace- Premier Jewelry (old) Also love this coral statement necklace from LuLu's!; Shoes- Jaysie from Shoemint (now on sale for $49.99)

Leather in the summer?... Yes please!

I fell in love with these faux leather paneled leggings from BCBG that I picked up from one of my local boutiques All Together! I thought since they have so much impact on their own, I would keep the rest of the outfit casual, so I paired them up with my new little tank from Victoria's Secret and my trusty go-to fedora! These leggings are so light weight that they totally work in the summer time to beat the heat, but they are also going to be so great with a big chunky long sweater in the fall and winter! (I already have one in mind sitting in my closet ready to be paired up!)

 

Tank- Victoria's Secret; Leggings- BCBG from All Together Boutique; Shoes- Jessica Simpson (no longer available) Also in love with these from Sole Society!; Fedora- Target (in stores only); Lip color- Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick in Infrared Matte; Nail color- Mally 24/7 gel color in Big Apple

Red, White & Blue... Retro Style!

 

I'm never one to get very festive when a holiday rolls around, so this is my take on 4th of July style! I took the idea of going red, white & blue and added my own retro spin to it! I love my navy polka dot shorts from Ann Taylor! I have been wearing them all summer and paired with these heels from Target, I felt very vintage Riviera and pinup-ish!

For the Summer... Go Wild!

For my third look teaming up with the brand Fashion Spy, I went with this great printed frock!

My heart is always in the fall and winter when it comes to fashion looks (I love layers!) so my trick to get through summer is to "visually" layer! When you choose a dress that has such a graphic print, you draw the eye in and add visual depth so there is no need for a cardigan or jacket (and who want that on a scorching 90 degree day?!) This dress fit the bill perfectly and the sweet little key hole in the back is just a bonus!!

Black and White... With Touches of Green!

So in my new endeavor to start bringing you little things here and there, I found this great blouse to go in my new little shop! I love that it is sheer so it is great for the summer with the sleeves rolled up like I have it styled, but I also love the idea of carrying it into fall and winter with maybe a great vest over it! (note to self- remember to do a post with a vest when it starts to cool off!)
It is on trend with the black and white graphic print and then I love the added pop of neon green along the top back and down the side panels! I paired it with my mint green skinnies to do a fun green color combo!

The highs and lows... in floral!

 

Still pairing up with design house Fashion Spy, I got to play with this great high-low floral frock! The dress comes with a mustard-colored tie belt, but I decided to put my new J.Crew belt with it. I also went with my trusty go-to studded clutch and gladiator wedges to roughen up the sweetness of the floral dress a bit!
