Summer Florals

It’s a no-brainer that florals are essential for spring and summertime, and that’s why this post is dedicated to some of the most feminine yet fun floral spring maxis that you can wear just about anywhere. Between music festival season & summer weddings, something about flower patterns on lovely flowing maxis dresses is just irresistible. You […]

Weekend Style

Here at PLSR we naturally gravitate towards a lighter colored wardrobe so this post might come as a surprise. However once we saw this blouse we knew we had to have it. It’s incredibly well made & absolutely gorgeous in person. It’s made by one of our favorite brands, Stone Cold Fox, right here in the USA. […]

Cotton Candy

I can’t even begin to explain how obsessed I am with these Free People leggings! Beyond being super comfortable, they look just like cotton candy which is pretty much my dream come true. They were absolutely perfect for roaming the streets of New Orleans. Oh, & I guess they’d probably be good for working out too ?. I paired them […]

Pink & Plaid

Winters in Chicago are pretty grey & somehow my wardrobe seems to mimic that during cooler seasons. So earlier this month when I escaped the in-between temps in Chicago for New Orleans (full recap coming soon!) I decided I needed to add some color to my typical uniform. The sweater dress (also seen here) is one I’ve practically lived in […]

Sale Shopping

I’ve been online shopping a lot lately. Like, a lot, a lot. Oops. Luckily, this time of year there are always major sales. ShopBop (where this outfit is from) recently marked down a ton & so did Revolve Clothing. Plus the DIY choker necklace tutorial we recently featured is under $10 & you can make it yourself here! Shop this outfit as well as my favorite […]

Spring

With the warmer temperatures slowly but surely approaching it’s time to break out those spring pieces you’ve been itching to wear. By opting for a layered look you’re guaranteed comfort despite any weather mishaps that may spontaneously occur (& boy do they occur here in Chicago!). This t-shirt from T by Alexander Wang is beyond comfortable & the perfect piece […]

Oversized

Some of my favorite pieces I own don’t come from the standard woman’s department. I’m a sucker for anything oversized (comfort is key!) so I often turn towards the men’s department for cozy knits or the larger sizes as I did with this outfit. I had been searching near & far for a cute sweater […]

Light Layers

I know I’ve mentioned it before, but neutrals are my go-to lately. I’ve been living in them as well as these pink Hunter boots which add a little something to the otherwise colorless outfit. People have constantly been asking about which boots are best for winter & I strongly recommend Hunter rain boots. They’re weatherproof which is essential this time […]

Currently Craving

Lately I’ve found myself gravitating towards everything neutral. Maybe it’s as I’m getting older I’m starting to actually build a wardrobe instead of just buying in the moment. Or maybe it’s this more so than usual confusing weather that’s throwing me off. Either way, I don’t hate it. This cozy sweater from H&M immediately caught my eye as […]

Sweater Weather

Although I can’t really complain about the weather this winter, I much prefer dressing for summer. So when I have errands to run or meetings to attend I always opt for a comfy yet cute look. This grey sweater has been perfect for everyday. It works seamlessly with a pair of dress pants as well […]
