Simple Jewelry for Everyday Wear

September 6, 2016

Hi everyone and welcome to this week’s post on Allison In Wonderland!  Today’s blog post is all about the jewelry that I wear on a day-to-day basis!  I keep it pretty simple and easy, so I thought it would be fun to share!

To start off, I tend to go for gold jewelry over silver.  I think, in most cases, it suits my skin tone better and there’s something about it that just draws me in!  My favorite kind of jewelry to wear are rings.  I love wearing them!  They don’t move around on you, so you kinda forget they’re there, and are so easy to slip on in the morning.  Also, if you stick to more simple rings like I have, they pretty much go with any outfit!  The ring that I’m wearing in the picture below is from H&M.  I just got this ring a few weeks ago, in a pack of three, and they were only $7!  I love how it’s so beautiful (at least to me 🙂 ) but it’s not so big that it takes over your hand!  The other ring I’m wearing is a ring that I have worn everyday since I got it, I love it that much!  I don’t know where it’s from because it was a gift but you can find very similar ones on Etsy!

Nordstrom is actually still selling the same necklace so I’ll link it right here.  This necklace is just a little pendant but it adds so much to whatever outfit you’re wearing!  It’s perfect for a casual day but it also spices up even a more formal-looking dress!  I would definitely recommend having something like this in your collection.

Those are the jewelry items that I wear on a regular basis, I hope it helped you out in figuring out your jewelry routine!  Let me know in the comments if you have any comments or suggestions for me!  Thanks for reading!

A Midsummer Day’s OOTD

August 23, 2016

Hi guys and welcome back to Allison in Wonderland!  Today’s post is going to be fun because I’ve never done one about all the little details of one outfit before!  So let’s get started! 🙂

Processed with VSCO with f2 presetThe outfit that I chose for this post is an outfit I’ve been waiting to wear for months and months.  I actually bought the pair of overalls from Forever 21 back in the wintertime for, I wanna say, around $10.  What a steal!  I almost didn’t buy them because I knew I wouldn’t get to wear them until the summer, but they were just too cute to pass up!  I was envisioning wearing them with a cute t-shirt underneath, just as I did in the photo to the right (also pictured in my last post Being a Tourist In: Virginia Beach).  But as the colder months passed and the overalls got pushed further and further towards the back of my closet, I forgot about them!  I only recently rediscovered them and I was so excited that I’d get to bring them on vacation with me!

Since the overalls give off a more relaxed vibe, I didn’t want to pair them with any jewelry that was too girly, so I went with my Daniel Wellington watch that I LOVE.  I have the Women’s Classic Bristol 36mm with the silver face and it goes with almost anything!  It can be dressed up or dressed down and it’s just the perfect accessory to add to any outfit.

The t-shirt I picked to go underneath my overalls is a super cute and comfortable t-shirt from American Eagle!  It’s a creamy white color with blue stripes and an adorable little green pocket that goes perfectly with the look of the overalls.  I was a bit worried the shirt would keep popping out of the shorts and I’d have to get a bodysuit-type top but I actually had no trouble keeping it in place!  I definitely recommend these overalls if you’re in the market for a cute and affordable pair!

Well, that about wraps up my first OOTD post, I hope you enjoyed!  Please leave a comment  if you have any topic suggestions for future posts!  Have a wonderful day! 🙂

Summer Outfit of the Day

June 7, 2016

Hi guys, welcome back to Allison in Wonderland!  For this week’s post, I thought putting together a little outfit of the day would be fun, especially now that we’re finally getting into summertime weather!

Pictured above is an outfit that I wore for a photoshoot I planned for my sorority, Sigma Alpha Omega.  SAO is the Christian sorority at James Madison and we had such a good day doing this shoot!  It was fun to see everyone dressed up and being able to spend the day doing something different.

My outfit is from an assortment of stores so I’ll get right to it!  My dress is from Urban Outfitters, my favorite store!  It’s a white dress with some lace detailing and it’s perfect for summer.  I’d been eyeing this dress for a while and by the time I finally got around to going to the mall, they only had one left and it was my size!  Woohoo!  A bonus to this dress is it has a built in slip so you won’t be able to see through it!  My army green vest is from American Eagle and perfect to pair with almost any outfit.  You can wear it with a sundress, jeans and a t-shirt, anything!  It’s not the most summery color but I think it provides a nice contrast to an outfit.  Finally, my little brown booties are from Forever 21 (they were also pictured in my Things I’m Loving Right Now post from back in March).  I’ve had these booties for a couple years now and they’re still going strong – I wear them all the time and they’re so comfortable, even when I have to walk all over campus!

That wraps up today’s “Outfit of the Day” post!  Thanks for visiting my blog and be sure to come back next Tuesday for another post!  Have a great week! 🙂
