Two ways to wear mixed patterns

  My fashion inspiration comes from flipping through InStyle, scrolling through Pinterest or {lezzzbehonest} most often, checking out someone else’s outfit.  Here’s what I’ve noticed recently:  mixing patterns takes an outfit to a whole new level.  It’s like it creates this new interest in the outfit.  A new dynamic to the outfit.  In my opinion, it looks best with layers.  But then again, maybe I’m just a little obsessed because everything I post recently is about layers.  Pulling off this look can take a little bit of skill.  You don’t want to come out looking like you did on tacky day… Read More

Our {love} story: castles, rainbows and a bag of chips

Check out part I, part II and part III if you need to get caught up. Sometime during 2009, I decided that David need to take me to the Biltmore house. How had I lived two hours from this place my entire life and never been to visit?  So, I literally brought it up like every 4.5 seconds.  We heard Biltmore commercials on the radio non-stop and David would always roll his eyes at me.  We were driving to Atlanta for Thanksgiving that year and saw several billboard signs advertising the Biltmore.  I’m telling you, it was reminding us at… Read More

Pinspiration

  This outfit makes me so happy!  Remember this post? My goal was to incorporate the chambray shirt with something over and under it.  Friday afternoon, I accomplished that goal.  This is something I would have never come up with on my own but I LOVE how it turned out.  Thanks, Pinterest! Need some chambray shirt inspiration?  I posted about it here and here. Also?  This is post number 50!  Thanks for following me in this journey.  It means more to me than you know!

Crockpot chili

For us, chili is a winter staple.  If someone said you can have chili this winter or have heat in your house, pretty sure both of us would choose chili and then just huddle around it with tons of  layers on.  David would eat it 12 months a year if I would fix it but I make him wait until it starts getting cooler outside.  It’s the perfect winter food… it’s a crockpot meal, it makes enough for leftovers and it’s the perfect thing to eat on the couch with football or basketball on tv and snuggle.  And although I… Read More

Friday love

Cheeeeeeeers to the freakin’ weekend! You know how David’s obsessed with chili?  Well… the secret is that I am too.  I made chili on Sunday and then we watched Peyton break the NFL touchdown record.  It was a fab sunday evening… the perfect way to start the week. And naturally, I was doing a little blogging.  Copper loved the evening too.   #chiliandpeyton  Ok, so remember how I spent the weekend in Greenville two weeks ago?  Kaitlyn’s husband Andre kept asking me, “For Fashion + Feathers?”  We would be having a conversation completely unrelated to anything Fashion + Feathers but… Read More

Fall is for…

My favorite thing about fall and winter is layering up.  I’m a big fan of scarves and cardigans… I usually have one or both on in the cooler months. But I felt like I needed some style inspiration so I hit up Pinterest.  {Naturally.} Let’s add a little something to this, how ’bout it?  I’m going to try to branch out and layer up in some new ways.  Here are my goals. 1.  Layer scarves in a new way. My go-to with scarves is the infinity style or tying a regular scarf to look like it’s an infinity scarf.  But… Read More

Our {love} story: the dating game

Here’s part I and part II, if you haven’t read them. It really wasn’t a dating “game” to us but that was the best title I could come up with.  After that first date, we were obviously both hooked.  In January of 2009, I began student teaching so my schedule wasn’t the typical “college schedule.”  I was in High Point, NC.  David was working for the athletic department at Carolina which meant he had to be at every home baseball and football game.  So that basically left weekends available for me and since home games often fell on the weekends,… Read More

Two ways to wear a striped shirt

What’s more fun than two ways to wear?  Two ways to wear with your sister.  Duh.  We chose this shirt… and each styled it. {Claire’s look} black jeggings | denim jacket | colorful scarf | ankle boots  {Kaitlyn’s look}dark skirt | green cardigan | necklace | ankle boots I love how these looks are so different.  I’m headed out to run some errands and Kaitlyn’s on her way to a business meeting.  Stripes are the perfect piece to layer because they add interest. What are  y’all gonna do next week when it’s back to just me for the two ways to wear posts?… Read More

Exploring Asheville

Ahhh, the weekend.  But it went by too fast.  Usually Sundays are my big-time blog day.  And laundry.  So that combination doesn’t work too well for photographing our bedroom.  Kaitlyn told me I needed to do more house pictures and since our bedroom has my favorite decorations, I was going to share it today.  But since it’s laundry day up in here, the room’s not exactly photo-ready. Ok, plan B.  Usually, Dave takes my fashion pictures on Sundays.  But since I’ve been doing this running thing, this is my look. Not exactly the best for a fashion blog.  {This running… Read More
