  • Anniversary Blazer Dress

    Click any image above to view and/or shop! It was just my husband and my anniversary this past weekend, and of course, it was a big decision what I would wear to our special dinner out. I purchased this blazer dress a couple months back and was waiting for just the right occasion. Our anniversary was the perfect occasion! I was a little bit weary when I first put it on though. I was worried it was a bit too structured and that it would leave me looking like I was wearing a trash bag. But because this blazer dress is so similar to a wrap dress, it actually does…

  • Madewell Try-on

    Click any image above to shop! This week’s try-on is from Madewell. Head over to my Stories to see full details. I fell in love with these sweaters because of the material and the cut of the collars. They remind me of a retro style sweater. I remember I took a sweater similar to this from my mom a while back, and over time, I had to get rid of it. It started to look very worn. So, when I saw these, I was so excited. Finally, I could replace that sweater I loved so much! I bought these on sale, and today, they are 30% off. So run! They…

  • Blast of Color – Blazer

    Click any of the above images to shop them! I love the color black. It is by far my go-to color; however, if I get the option to add a beautiful pop of color, I’m all in. I love this blazer. It was very inexpensive, and while that is reflected in the quality, I still love the coral color so much that I am happy to wear it as often as possible. This could be worn to work or for a fun date night. XOXO Do you feel influenced yet? (follow me @carissa_cruse)

  • Crocheted Dress

    Click above photos for similar styles + Christian Dior Espadrille I have never worn this dress since I bought it two years ago. It is from a sample sale in NY, and it had just enough unique-ness to it that I thought I needed it. However, here’s the thing, it is a knit crocheted dress, and it’s clearly supposed to be worn in the summer. I’m not understanding this trend of making dresses that are not weather appropriate. But then again, that wouldn’t have stopped me from buying it. I’ll just have to suck it up that I will likely sweat when wearing it, but that’s a small price to…

  • Old Navy Try-On

    You can shop any of the above images by just clicking on them! Head over to my instagram stories for this week’s Old Navy try-on session. There are some really great Fall pieces that are a must! For me, I’m especially loving the Sherpa Jacket, and that mock neck sweater is a great, affordable alternative to JCrew’s cashmere sweaters. XOXO Do you feel influenced yet? (follow me @carissa_cruse)
