Hey friends! 💖 So, this summer, my girl Kayla totally rocked an all-denim look for her birthday picnic. When I asked her about it, she beamed and said, “It’s my go-to daytime look!” How cute is that? She even told me she borrowed the shirt from her mom and practically lives in these super affordable $40 sneakers. Inspired by her style, I convinced her to share a week’s worth of outfits, and she was totally on board! Let’s dive into her fashion journey and the stories behind her looks!
Denim Dream and Favorite Finds
Kayla’s denim ensemble was just the tip of the iceberg. She paired a classic J.Crew shirt with Rag & Bone jeans, topped off with her beloved Banana Republic Factory sneakers. And can we talk about those sunglasses? Total Ray-Ban vibes! But let’s be real, it’s not just about the clothes; the stories that come with them are just as fabulous.
One of her favorite finds is a stunning boat painting she scored online for $800, down from $1500! Talk about a steal! Kayla joked, “I come from a long line of Jewish women who don’t pay full price for anything!” Can you relate? Negotiating can feel so intimidating, right? I totally get that vibe!
Date Night Essentials
When it comes to date nights, Kayla has a killer go-to outfit for when she and her fiancé, Jeremy, hit up Bar Bête. This dress from Shona Joy is just spot on for the occasion, and she pairs it with a chic bag from Marshalls and some Jessica Simpson heels. 👜✨
She even spilled a little secret about her outfit choices: “I don’t always wear a bra, but I can’t have my nipples all over the place, so I use these round pasties.” Honestly, who else thinks that’s totally relatable? Finding that balance between comfort and style is no easy feat!
Beauty Tips and Personal Battles
Kayla keeps her beauty routine super simple yet effective. Recently, she’s fallen head over heels for Jones Road Beauty’s Miracle Balm, and when it comes to her nails, she sticks with soft pale pinks. Fun fact: she used to bite her nails like crazy! 😱 But with a little gel polish, she kicked that habit to the curb. Have you ever tried that?
On a more personal note, she opened up about wearing hearing aids since she was eight. “It’s tough to hear in noisy places, and I sometimes feel overwhelmed at parties,” she shared. Can you imagine? It’s inspiring to see how she navigates these situations while still wanting to be social.
Fashion Meets Profession
Kayla’s job at NYC’s emergency management agency demands she looks sharp, and she loves rocking her Banana Republic blazer paired with Reformation jeans. Fun fact: the vintage belt she’s wearing was borrowed from her mom, who picked it up in Florence. Classic style with a story, am I right?
She’s faced challenges in a male-dominated field, but now she’s all about owning her confidence. “I got this job for a reason, and I work my ass off,” she said. Isn’t it empowering to see someone embrace their strengths? It’s such a reminder that we all have something valuable to contribute.
Thanks for sharing your week of outfits, Kayla! 🌟 Who else would love to join in on the fun? What’s your go-to outfit for a special occasion? Let’s chat!
