Fayetteville Meets Nashville

I've been in Nashville for almost 3 months now, and I feel like I'm finally getting the hang of it. Traffic is crazy, there is construction everywhere and I hear sirens 24/7. But there's always something to do, live music around every corner, great food and fashion - the pros for sure outweigh the cons. I'm loving my new city!

One of my favorite things about Nashville is that everyone has such unique style. I've definitely felt a little more freedom here to wear what I want, when I want, where I want. But I'm an Arkansas girl at heart, so I don't think I'll ever stray too far from my roots. So, I thought it'd be fun to do a little Fayetteville/Nashville fashion mashup.

This cardigan is from one of my favorite stores back home, Shop Maude. It's a gorgeous rust color and is literally the softest thing I own. As soon as I put it on, I immediately thought that there was no way I was going to be able to wash it (because the fabric is incredible) - but it's machine washable! What?! Best part for a girl who works with messy kiddos all week. And I LOVE the length of this cardigan, so perfect for fall and winter. I paired it with these cute little fan fringe earrings (which of course my hair decided to eat, so you can't see them well...struggles of long hair - but they're adorable and super light weight!) in grey. Shop Maude always has the best pieces for every season - not only fashionable, but high quality as well.

This tee and skirt are actually thrifted from a local Goodwill here in Nashville. I love vintage finds, and I live right by a Goodwill which is too convenient. I try to stop in every few weeks to see what new goodies they have. Nashville has awesome thrifting - I've found so many unique pieces. And I didn't feel like I was a true Nashvillian until I found my first vintage country tee. It's a Nash staple right? When I saw this Willie one, I snagged it as quickly as possible! And then of course had several other shoppers asking to buy it from me - but no way, this bad boy is all mine. 

Hope you all have the best week! Happy Sunday!

Coziest Sweater

Big, chunky sweaters are quite possibly one of the best things about fall. Nothing cozier than bundling up with some hot chocolate in a warm sweater by the fire, right? This cardigan has officially become my go-to "it's freezing outside, but I still want to look cute" sweater. You know how some of the chunky sweaters can make you look....um, chunky? Hah! This sweater somehow still manages to keep you nice and toasty, while also still looking fashion forward and avoiding the dreaded sweater frump. 

I added a pop of color with a head scarf. Good news is - this one from J.Jill supports their Compassion Fund so you can shop for a cause. I love when I can purchase a piece whose proceeds go to something I support. The compassion fund supports community organizations help disadvantaged and homeless women become self-sufficient. Girl power at it's finest.
