Vintage

Here in KC, we are just now experiencing some warmer weather. When I shot this look, it was a frigid 60 degree spring day. One of my go-to looks is my favorite vintage tee and some high-waisted light wash jeans. I snagged these slides (that I CANNOT stop wearing) at Target - they match every outfit I pick out. I also decided on wearing a necklace from Forever 21; it adds the perfect "edgy" aspect to the look.

DIY Success

During my last trip to Saver's, I entered with a denim mission. After scouring the racks for a solid 20 minutes, I found a pair of overalls that I desperately wanted to cut off into a pair of short overalls....and voila! The DIY gods were definitely rooting for me that day.

I love the overall look - basically the denim romper look! They've quickly become a staple in my outfit rotation. I pair them with a neutral shirt, and loved the detail that this tank added to the look. I paired the look with my all-time favorite metallic oxfords, and called it a look!

Overalls: head to a local thrift store and do some hunting!

Prom

Hello all! I apologize for my recent absence - school has been killing me as of lately. Thankfully, this year is coming to a close and I couldn't be more excited about what this summer has in store. 

I wanted to shoot a prom look, but decided to substitute in gold sandals for black heels pre-dance. I loved how the white and gold almost radiated a Grecian look; furthermore, I loved the geometric look the croptop and top of the skirt added to the look. I opted for my daily hexagon necklace to add to the minimalistic vibes.

Since I would never sport a traditional "prom" look, I decided this was a good choice for me and all of my other dress-hating ladies out there! (Well, I wouldn't say hating. Just a dislike.) I cannot get over my new sunglasses from Polette - the clear frames and metallic lenses with gold accents on the sides are the perfect combination for me! And...the sunglasses are ridiculously cheap. What more could we ask for?! I've been a HUGE fan ever since I spotted the Thierry-Lasry sunglasses that are extremely out of my budget!

Comfort Zone

I spotted this AMAZING jacket the other day at H&M, and I couldn't keep my eyes off of it. It was certainly one of those "I definitely don't need this, but I'll regret it for the rest of my life if I don't buy it" purchases. It gave me fancy Coachella vibes (too far?!?), but also has the ability to turn a white tee and shorts look into a fabulous look. The jacket is everything I love in a jacket: black and white, sort of cropped, interesting design.

Emerald

I snagged these awesome emerald pants a few weeks ago at Forever 21 - in my opinion, they've been killing it lately. I also picked up a pair of regular black pants while there! They're a really comfy material, perfect for a Sunday brunch. I paired the pants with a symmetrical tee from Kate Spade Saturday, my all-time favorite oxfords, and a mixture of gold and silver accessories. Some people refuse to mix their metals, but I think it only adds to the look if they're added appropriately!

White Out

I love a stellar monochromatic outfit, and this one is no exception. I'm so attracted to the white button down - white short look, and I felt the beach was the best place to give this look a go! I white button down is a key staple in anyone's wardrobe, and I feel the same about white shorts! I love mine - they're mildly high-waisted from Paige Denim. I picked up these sandals last summer in NYC while they were on sale, and I wear them every chance I get! They are almost identical to an Isabel Marant pair, but from Sam Edelman and worlds cheaper!

Sunset

Finally getting some photos from spring break up! This was one of the first nights, and the sunset was dreamy! Granted it rained all day...but oh well! I wore a white tank with embroidered detail and some boyfriend style jeans - super easy and beachy look! I also included a few photos that didn't quite make the Instagram cut...go check out my account, @anniedreyer, to see photos immediately!

Made in Kansas City

This past weekend, a local entrepreneur showcased his work with various local creatives and makers through the pop-up shop Made in Kansas City at Prairie Fire. A pop-up shop is a temporary retail shop, usually found in larger cities such as Los Angeles and New York City. Obviously, I was extremely excited when I found out about this three-day event through their Instagram account (@madeinkc_)!

The pop-up was held at the boutique Threshing Bee in Prairie fire. It was an intimate setting, but you could feel the creativity radiating through our local entrepreneur’s creations. Made in Kansas City is looking to open a permanent location, but until then I have created a list of my favorite vendors from the event!

Convivial Productions runs a very successful home decor and dinnerware business through Etsy and local boutiques. Their pieces are extremely geometric and clean - they perfectly match a minimalistic aesthetic. I’ve also fallen in love with Sara Cramer Jewelry throughout the years. Her beadwork is flawless - she creates beautiful collared necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. In addition, I was introduced to Sharp Tooth Studio through the pop-up. Samantha’s banners and pennants are whimsical, hilarious and the perfect addition to your room or home. I hope you go check out these artists, along with many others, on the Made in Kansas City website! Stay tuned for future details, and go give them an Instagram follow!

Black and White

I am absolutely obsessed with this look - something about the black and white gives it such a geometric, clean look that I always gravitate towards. These are my new favorite white jeans from Paige Denim - I love the destructed and tomboyish look. The New Balances and tote gave the look the perfect pop of color.

Jeans: Paige Denim - I ordered a 26 (my normal size) and they have a looser fit, which I love - but if you're looking for a tighter fit, I would recommend going down a size!

Spring Forward

I was psyched when the weather reached over 60 degrees - so I obviously pulled out one of my all-time faves! This is actually a long-sleeved romper from Forever 21, a great find in my opinion. I threw my denim jacket over it to lighten up the colors. However, one of my favorite aspects of this look could very well be the shoes and socks combination. Finally, I threw on some oversized sunglasses to complete my look!
