Hearts

Who says that colors like teal and burgundy are restricted to winter? Sure, these are definitely deemed as holiday colors but here's a way to wear them in warmer temperatures. 

I love this blouse from Oasap. The print is really fun and casual and I love how light it is for warmer weather.

How We Wore It: Fall Plaid

Happy Thursday! I hope you are all having a good week. I am so excited because today I am teaming up with Katie from Style Diary Blog to show you how we style fall plaid. Katie and I recently 'met' via instagram because we realized we have the same doppleganger- Shailene Woodley. I think Katie looks more like her then I do. However, we decided that since we look like each other, we had to do a fun collaboration together!

There are so many patterns that can be worn continuously in the fall and plaid is one of them. It is such a great pattern that can be layered and worn in so many ways. Katie works a full-time job, so she made her outfit office-appropriate with a fabulous plaid blazer and a pencil skirt. As many of you know, I am a full-time student, so I kept my look casual and comfortable by mixing patterns.

My look:

Hot Pink

Happy Tuesday! 

Here's a quick post from what I wore to church this past Sunday. 

I picked this skirt up from Victoria and I love it! It is such a bright and girly color, which I love. This shirt has been on repeat lately but I am all done with it now. I am selling it via my instagram closet. Follow @shopjessicajean to see more!

I recently picked up these shoes from Windsor and I love them! They will match pretty much everything and they can dress up any outfit. 

I need to invest in a new camera, the one I have just isn't cutting it anymore. If you have any recommendations for a somewhat simple and not so pricey DSLR, please do tell!

One of my all time favorite items to wear are pencil skirts. They are so classy and versatile; they are a true wardrobe staple in my closet. 

I have been wearing pencil skirts to church on Sundays a lot lately, and I love pairing them with a tucked in loose or sheer blouse. This is definitely my go-to church look. I have also seen this look being pulled together in different ways on other bloggers, so I thought I would post about this fun and happening trend.
