Lady in Red

Trudging through the snow with the crisp air hitting my face, I look up to see birds soaring above. Stopping me in my tracks, fairly certain my hands are numb, but I don't care. I wonder what they're saying to each other? Why do birds speak in such an annoying tone? I've never really cared for them, much. But I stood there, admiring their grace and playfulness. The Notebook popped into my head. Remember when Noah said "if you're a bird, I'm a bird"...What exactly did he mean by that, anyways? 

This jacket, seriously, this jacket. It speaks for itself; the color, texture, length, button placement. All of it. Pure joy.

We wanted to do an outdoor shoot, and this one was so worth freezing for. We picked one of the coldest days...but, don't regret a second of it.

Caffeine Highs

Fun fact: walking into a coffee shop creates instant happiness. Finding ourselves in such a warm, cozy place, with coffee, definitely puts a smile on our faces...there's no shame in our game! We happen to be downtown a lot, so Urban seems to be where we find ourselves wondering back to more often than not. And, we have zero complaints about that.

Knee rips, ugh, they make us melt. For some reason they just elevate your denim, and add that extra oomph. To avoid the knees tearing too much we always rip them all the way to each side, on both legs. This prevents the hole from tearing up or down. Unless, you like the knee rips large and natural. Either way, we love them!

And fringe...clothes, home decor, shoes, handbags, all of it! We can't get enough.

Prettyb + Giveaway

A large part of shopping is not actually what you buy, but the experience. The music that floods your ears, fitting room set up and lighting, ambiance, staff knowledge. Actually, staff (for us) is such a make or break. Honesty is so appreciated! Trying on dress pants that were adorable but too big, you guys, Mandi gave her honest opinion and said just that. This is when you know you've struck gold, honesty. 

But back to experience..Meatball, the most adorable dog welcomed us, a feeling of comfort consumed us as if we were walking into our own home. AND! Of course, the clothes, THE CLOTHES! Or, maybe it's a vast combination of all of this?

No matter what it is, Prettyb has something for everyone! Dresses, jeans, sweaters, tanks, tees, handbags, accessories, they have it all!

Closet Update

You know that feeling of looking in your closet, then saying "I have nothing to wear"? Us too. Which is why going through your closet a few times a year is a great idea. If you haven't worn something in 8-12 months, we suggest tossing it. This frees up space for items you'll get more use out of.

Helping others with this process is a true passion! Having the opportunity to help a good friend, her agreeing to be featured on the blog, and doing this with hangry kids running everywhere makes for an exciting afternoon.The reality of this shoot was spent going through Natalie's closet, helping her decipher what to toss...and did I mention hangry kids? This is real life though, guys. It's easy to get caught up in the glimpse of what we see on the interwebs and social media. But we only tend to see what people chose to share, which tends to be small, glamorous snippets. 

When we started this blog, we agreed to stay true to ourselves, and this is one of those posts that challenged that. This wasn't a glamorous shoot, at all, nor will we make it appear that way. Kids were running, sneezing, crying, and screaming everywhere...but, that's real life for us.

Thanks, Natalie for agreeing to be featured in this post

70s Vibes

Does anyone else think of That 70s Show when seeing bell bottom pants? Mila & Ashton too, they're adorable.

Anyways...flare pants, we think they're definitely worth trying. They elongate and slim your legs, us shorter women definitely appreciate that! The pair featured in this post are so comfortable, and the corduroy is the perfect color. Trying them on it was an instant love affair. 

In my excitement I realized my failure to check the price tag before even placing a toe in the leg. Whoops! Usually this mistake does not work in my favor...honestly, I don't recommend it. This time however, it did. 

Ladies, these pants were under $30! If you haven't been to Proper and Prim (located in Fargo), you need to check it out...there's always something, for everyone.

Downtown Explorer

We love a good day of shopping downtown. Each city is unique with it's store fronts, restaurants, boutiques, signage, decor...it's own personality. Entering downtown in any city is always exciting, it's like meeting a new person or revisiting an old friend. Fargo's downtown is like that friend you can always count on for good conversation and great memories. Stay tuned to see what we found shopping!

The outfit in this post was comfortable and so perfect for a day of exploring downtown. The sweatshirt was so warm, and the shoulder cutout added the perfect detail. Jeggings are also something we gravitate towards vs. leggings. They give more coverage and are most definitely warmer for the Winter months.

We also believe in having one pair of over the knee boots. They work great with casual outfits, and dresses.
