I’m unsure why people are still insisting on trying to tell me that they don’t like my fashion posts. I don’t like pictures of people’s children taking a dump on the potty for the first time, but I do not tell them that. I mean, they’re children will hate them for it later so what’s the point in posting my own frustration? But since these people’s days have been so rattled by my lululemon scarf, I kindly tell them that they are an idiot and should be consumed more in their own life than mine, but in a very kind, classy way. You know, because I’m so classy. But what upsets me the most, other than poopy children, is that people are never kind enough to write back. They voice their opinion but are suddenly startled when I lay the heat down. What does that even mean? Who knows. It just means they are the worst kind of humans. Stick up for yourselves, people. I just back handed your face, serve it back!
So I pretty much want to wear fake lashes every day of my life. Like, so bad. They are so great. And make my little beady animal eyes look much larger. It’s a miraculous lie. Below are my fake lashes. They say nice to meet you. This is an outfit I wore to Butterjoint in Pittsburgh after cooking too many recipes in a week. This dress is the most comfortable dress ever. And it’s longer so it’s more conservative for you conservative folk out there. I’m obviously not usually one of those people.
{ Red and White Shift Dress from Pink’s Boutique for $40 (this dress goes down to right above the knee and is completely long sleeve) | Black Vegan Leather Jacket found at Inspyre Boutique | Beige Booties from 2010 from TJ Maxx for $50 (ps one of my favorite pair of shoes of.all.time.) – here is a similar pair | Necklace from Pink’s Boutique for $20 }
This outfit was one of my casual outfits I wore in Pittsburgh when we decided to do a little night shopping in Monroeville. I think it was Monroeville. I really never know where I am out there, but I bought some workout clothes at the Gap! Love their stuff! Anywho, if you haven’t noticed, I REALLY love scarfs. Especially vinyasa scarfs. They are the best from fall into winter.
{ White Ashby Tank from Splits59 for $45 | Astrid Saturn Back Pullover from Splits59 for $86 | Vinyasa Scarf French Terry from Lululemon for $58 | Flying Monkey Jeans found at Inspyre Boutique | Dolce Vita leopard flats found at Nordstrom Rack }
This outfit means nothing to you, BUT TO ME it was a super exciting outfit because it was the outfit I was wearing on my way home back to Colorado. So it was a travel outfit. I wore a pair of booties hoping my suitcase would miraculously weigh less than 50 pounds. It still didn’t, it was 53 pounds. So I ended up carrying my straightener and curling iron around the airport and while flying. Such fun.
{ Beige and White Lace Top from Pink’s Boutique for $35 | Target Junior’s Camo Jacket for $40 | Flying Monkey Jeans Jeans from Insypre Boutique for $50 by – similar Flying Monkey pair | Taupe of Your Life Booties from Modcloth now $34 | Stone Drop Necklace in Black by Stitch and Stone for $20 | Scarf from Target for $15 }
Random outfit day in Pittsburgh! These pants are seriously the most comfortable ever. I really wish I could find them online for you, but I’ll keep looking because you deserve to find them. It’s hard to see in the pics but they kind of puff out in the hips which is a look I personally love. Not everyone loves making their hips look larger, but I kind of dig it. I’m weird like that.
{ Black Vegan Leather Jacket found at Inspyre Boutique | Leopard Print Scarf found at Inspyre Boutique | Light beige t-shirt from Buffalo Exchange for $10 | Blue Pants from Paper Doll Boutique in San Diego for $40 | Beige Booties: Target for $35.00 (last season –BUT I FOUND THEM HERE!) }
Last but not least, another casual and comfy fall outfit. Yet ANOTHER vinyasa scarf. Why am I so obsessed with scarfs? People keep asking me why I wear my vinyasa scarf. Here’s the deal: I have no idea. I wrap it, fluff it, pull at it and hope that it looks natural. There’s just no method to my madness.
{ Dark grey shirt from Hailee Grace for $35 | Black and Blue Vinyasa Scarf from Lululemon for $58 | STS Blue Destroyed Slim Boyfriend Jeans, in white for $54 in the Juniors of Nordstrom – similar pair here and here | Dolce Vita leopard flats from Nordstrom Rack for $40 }
I love your fashion posts. Also, you mentioned Monroeville by name. Fan for life!
Juli, your post made me laugh. I initially grumbled in my head when you started the fashion posts, mainly because it is not my thing, but you look so happy and have great skills, so that’s my problem. It’s your blog, do what you love!
Thanks Colleen!!
People always hate! They’re probably just mad that they won’t look as good as you in these clothes. 🙂 Anyway – I love your fashion posts, except for the fact that it makes me have fall/winter envy since I’m stuck here in Florida! (ok.. maybe stuck is the wrong word… it’s pretty awesome to have warm weather year round!) Love the scarves and all the outfits. These are my fave posts behind the food posts because.. well.. food.
Hey Juli- Who does your eyebrows? Gorg.
Hahaha I do!! I can’t get them waxed because I’m allergic, so I just pluck and use tarte eyebrow mousse to fill them in
Ya’ know what’s worse than a douche-bag bully? A faceless douche-bag internet bully that leaves coward comments about your blog posts then doesn’t have the balls to respond….Actually, after some reflection, bullies aren’t much for responses in either case. They are ugly on the inside.
I love your fashion posts, they make you more human to me. You have awesome affordable taste that is approachable and really well put together–and so often at a price point that’s achievable. Rock on Juli.
I love your blog, your funny, and your FANTASTIC fashion. GFY Bullies.
thank you so much for the amazing comment!
PaleOMG. I just found your blog and love it. I have decided a more paleo-like lifestyle. I saw you also enjoy fashion which is also my passion (I should write poetry!) I personally dealt with “haters” on YELP today so I know what you mean about laying the heat down.
Anyway, I own a consignment shop so I’m all about affordable fashion. If you travel again to Pittsburgh my BFF also has a great store an your sense of humor/style/eating. And of course if you’re ever in Dayton I’d love to have you visit my store.
Keep it up. Your blog alone will keep me on track to a new and healthier lifestyle.
What are the name of the stores?? I’m in Pittsburgh now!
There’s definitely no reason for people to be upset about your fashion posts. It’s your blog! You can do what you want! Personally, I follow you for the recipes, so I mostly skim past the fashion (except if it’s an especially cute IG picture, let’s be honest). Does it upset me though? Pshaw! I have better things to do with my time than pick on what makes other people happy.
Juli you’re the cutest. Keep doin your thang, girl.
WHAT?! That is so rude of people to say to you. I absolutely LOVE your Fashion Friday posts and look forward to them. You’ve even got me to Sole Society for some cute boots. Keep doing what you are doing and being you!
Being an accessory stylist with Premier Designs Jewelry myself, I LOVE your fashion posts! They are super fun and you are showing awesome and affordable trend. I’m glad you wear scarves. I love them too! I’d like to see you add more jewelry to those scarves – a necklace tied or twisted in or a fun fashion pin. Or use the scarf to frame an awesome statement necklace. Accessories are like the icing on our cake! It takes us from dull to delicious! Keep those Fashion Fridays posts coming!
