Greetings from Ohio!!!

Hello again!  Since starting my first full-time job, I haven't had much free time to have fun with fashion, so I apologize for the lack of pictures.  Also, I don't have my regular 35mm Canon with me or my arsenal of clothing options, so that doesn't help either! 

I'm on week 2 of my six week stay in Ohio, and I have to say--no offense to people who live here--but I'm excited to get back home.  I'm currently living in a hotel room, which may some glamourous to some of you, but after about three days, it gets old.  At least I don't have to pay for it, and I can try to have fun exploring a new city!  Anyways, here's a few pics of what I've been up to lately, and one new outfit (since I finally have a day off today!).  I'll have my camera soon so I'll be sure to pick up the slack!

A three-story, two building mall I found in Troy, MI (there was a mall on each side of the road, connected by a skywalk!).  I'm pretty sure my bank account is thankful I did not know this place existed while I lived here!

Lucky enough to find a Nordstrom's Rack in Troy too--a GREAT play to find discounted Sperry's!  LOVE these!!

Enjoying my Watermelon Wheat at the Maumee Bay Brew Pub (I recommend, however, that if you're ever here, you stick with beer and avoid food at all cost!)

So Excited!!!!

I bought this scarf on super clearance at Target last week, and have been wondering how to wear it.  It has such beautiful colors and a gorgeous pattern, I just had to have it.  

See--amazing colors!!

Tank: TJ Maxx
Shorts: American Eagle
Sandals: Target
Scarf (worn as headband): Target
Necklace: Vintage (flea market purchase)

LOVE this necklace!  As you know, I will buy any vintage piece that has an animal on it--this one is a Leo symbol with the dates on the back!

Best of CSI Fashionista (K's favorites)

Hello again!  I first off want to apologize to everyone who reads this blog (and I love every single one of you, by the way!) for being MIA for the past month.  A lot of crazy things have been happening, a little bit a traveling, moving, and just the little thing of starting my first out-of-college-fulltime job!  That's right, after all my complaining for months on this blog about not knowing if I'd EVER find a job, it finally happened!

So, needless to day, it's been a hectic month, and my posts have definitely suffered.  And, because of this, I haven't had time to take ANY pictures of new outfits (again, I know, I suck!).  I promise I will try to pick up the slack in the coming weeks, but until then, I'm going to do a "Best Of CSI Fashionista" tribute, and share with all of you what MY personal favorite outfits have been over the past 6 months (wow, has it really been 6 months?!).

Anyways, here are some of my favs, in no particular order:

A perfect hair day (something that only happens once like every two months), combined with everything else, just makes this outfit look so chic and elegant

I love this outfit because I literally had no idea what I was going to wear this day and just started randomly grabbing pieces and putting them together

Originally Posted In:  ~The Perfect Gift~
I chose this outfit mostly because I'm so in love with this clutch!

Ok, so this isn't really a 'favorite outfit', but this picture combines some of my favorite things: a good hair day, my favorite leopard-print scarf, my leather jacket, and...of course...my pooch!

I'm pretty sure I have worn this skirt with almost every skirt in my closet--it's always my 'go-to' piece, and here are my "Karie" boots!

Colored leopard maxi skirt--enough said!

This outfit was SO comfortable!  Plus, this is my "lazy day" sweater, so any time I can actually incorporate it into my everyday wear is a plus

Originally Posted In: Red, White, and...Lace???
This may be my favorite of all outfits.  It's just so much fun and the colors are so unexpected--LOVE!!

My first attempted at colored denim--I'm an official convert!

I love the bright colors of this outfit, very spring!

Again, I love my maxi skirts, and this one has a very sexy feel.  Plus this was the one day I was actually able to do a "wet hair" style without me looking like a wet dog :)

Maxi and a men's jockey shirt--so simply, so fashionable

Original Post: Concrete Jungle Where Dreams Are Made Of
My "city style" outfit--just a simple dress with tights and boots, but I love the aspect of the black/white stripes and the red leopard scarf (sorry this isn't in color, just imagine!)

And I promise I will pick up the slack soon!  Keep reading and let me know what you think of anything I have worn/written about, or what you would like to see!  I always LOVE to hear from people :)
