Blogger Copy Cat Collab Post
I have made so many good friends thru Instagram and so far the experience for me has been nothing short of wonderful. I have always wanted to do something with my creative side and I never really had the chance to fully dive head in before Instagram. Before I had an esty shop where I used to make blankets and homemade soap and bathbombs. Then I had Will and it was too hard to keep up. I have always loved watching fashion influencers photos to see whats in style and I wanted to do that.
I got divorced and suddenly had all of this free time that I have never had before. Previously I was a full time mom 24/7 and never had a minute away from my kids. Now I had every other weekend and I needed something that helped me find me again. So I took the leap and dove head firsts into Instagram fashion Blogging.
I loved Rachel from @pinterestingplans from the beginning. I watched her first and loved her style and reliability. She had multiple blog posts about how she became an Instagram influencer and I started taking notes. I loved everything she did and I wanted to be as big as her someday. So it was an easy decision to chose her when doing a Copy Cat Collab Post of Instagram.
1st post:
Her style is timeless. She is elegant and chic and makes it look so easy. For this look I grabbed the target tank she wore and added my own chenille cardigan and shorts.
2nd Post:
Her look, American eagle tank, I have the black version but it didn’t look right that way so I went with a white Old Navy tank instead. Both of us in the American Eagle blush Chenille cardigan and shorts, me American eagle.
3rd Post:
I don’t have the beautiful beachy background, Iowa has no beaches that are natural. But I did grab the Free people bralette and my necklace is only 18 from red dress boutique. My thermal is under 25 and from amazon and we both have on the tomgirl American eagle jeans.

Workwear challenge at Marshell’s
Guest post from The Layz Blonde
Thank you so much Kayla for sharing your article with us!!!
If you’re like me, you spend a whole lotta time in business casual workwear & by a whole lotta time, I mean 5 days a week. So Jen (my trusty assistant, photog, drink holder, longest friend, the list goes on…) & I set out to do another challenge. This time we headed to good old Marshall’s with a budget of $150 to get a WHOLE WEEK OF WORKWEAR. Let me tell you…this was a challenge! (I feel like you guys like a good scene setting, so let’s start there) After filling our bellies with mojitos (Jen) & martinis w/cotton candy (me) and lunch, we took the long walk across the parking lot to Marshall’s. It was then we decided we needed bubble teas cause you can’t go into Marshall’s to tackle all of the woman’s wear without a bevy.
After we grabbed a cart, it was time to get down to business. We just started by grabbing anything we thought was cute and then found a spot to look through everything to see if it made sense. Here’s what we came up with…Monday-I like to start my work week with comfy pants because let’s face it, I probably had a cheat meal over the weekend. These black drawstring pants felt amazing and so soft. The top I grabbed to go with these is probably my fave of them all, was this beautiful white and black bell sleeved piece. It can be worn off the shoulder, but felt comfy the way I’m wearing it, which is more office appropriate.
Top: Grand & Greene $16.99Bottoms: Ellen Tracy $19.99Tuesday-aka my least fave day of the week (I know that’s mean to have a least fave day, it’s just Tuesdays are always the busiest day of the week!) I went with these GORGEOUS cobalt blue pixie pants (that actually have a textured pattern to them) & a sheer white tank that had white flower appliques. (full disclosure, I didn’t have a tank to throw on underneath this, but you def need one!)Top: Micheal Kors $19.99Bottoms: Rafaella $19.99
Wednesday-back to comfy pants cause the week is long…! To go with these this time, I picked a really cute white cap sleeved polka dot top. This top was so cute and the perfect length for a front tuck.Top: Zac & Rachel $14.99Bottoms: repeat from Monday
Thursday-grabbed these cute linen pants-that felt like pjs & paired them with a similar shade of blue soft top. The pants would look really cute with a white tank or tee tucked in and a statement necklace.Top: Ellen Tracy $16.99 Pants: Land N’ Sea $16.99
Friday-phewww, we finally made it to the end of the week! And in my office that means jeans. So I opted to wear the jeans I had (Amazon) and found a few different tops, but the one I loved most, was this grey one with a front zipper V-neck detail. Top: Green Envelope $16.99Jeans: mine hehehe (I had to sneak my own jeans in to make budget…)
Grand total for the week…$142.92
And how fun is this…my coworker and friend Jenica bought the blue pants, so I made her pose for a pic (fun fact: she takes a lot of my work OOTDs!) so you could see how she styled them. She paired them with a black tank and a black blazer that has a fun leather detail!What look was your fave? I love doing these challenges and have another fun one up my sleeve, but I want you tell me what you want to see in the comments!! Let’s chat,
