Dressbarn Work Outfits!

by Tinner in


This coming summer I (Lindsay) will be interning in the energy marketing department at Dressbarn, an opportunity I couldn't be more thrilled about. That being said, however, before I applied to this particular internship I was admittedly less interested in the actual clothes of the company and more concerned with the success of/amazing team in the marketing department.  As I looked for a couple of major staple pieces for work outfits, I stumbled into dressbarn and was incredibly surprised/excited about the affordable and chic expansive assortment. Even though dressbarn is primarily recognized for their dresses, they had so much more than that. I found these three jackets seen above all at reasonable prices, especially with my discount :). 

Dressbarn is owned by Ascena Retail Group, who has had incredible success since its establishment in 1982. The group owns a variety of other noteworthy brands including, Maurices, Justice, Lane Bryant, and Catherines. Recently, Ascena acquired Ann Taylor & Loft, which was a huge deal for the company and important for future success.

Dressbarn is a clear product of their recent efforts in developing chic, stylish, but affordable clothing collections by Ascena and is the perfect place to stop when looking for the piece to bring your work outfits together. Visit their website at http://www.dressbarn.com and stores across the country to add a little dress barn to your dress collection!

Spring SALES

by Tinner in , ,


As the first day of my summer internship approaches, I've been starting to think more about what I plan on wearing and what work clothes I need more of. So, yesterday my mom and I set off for the mall to find a few staples -- tops, skirts, nice pants, and everything in between. (I even surprised myself and bought this amazing navy jumpsuit that J.Crew came out with the day before).

While it totally depends on the culture of the company you are working for, a cute t (like this one from J.Crew) paired with a blazer and white jeans can be a very easy and classic outfit for work. The blazer definitely makes this ensemble a little more work appropriate/presentable but the t is really cute on its own and would look great with a pair of ripped jeans (for a more casual look). Plus, the jewels on this shirt make it a bit different and dress it up more than a regular t. 

These sandals are a recent purchase from Forever21 and come in a variety of metallics as well as a deep red (incredibly hard to find the right size online though). I am obsessed with them, and for only $8.90 I think they are the steal of the summer.

More to come with ideas for what to wear for your summer internships/jobs but for now, shop this look below and take advantage of all of the sales J.Crew has going on -- don't forget about their 15% off discount and show your student ID!

Coachella Inspired Outfits

Everytime I go on Instagram, my feed is flooded with everything Coachella. While I am incredibly jealous of all those that get to go, it also seems like the perfect chance to do a bohemian themed blog post, as Coachella is defined by crochet dresses/rompers, big necklaces, mirrored sunglasses and gladiator sandals.

I pulled a few different options from Revolve Clothing that i feel fit this look perfectly. Coachella is all about fashion and it's fun to see what the different celebs and bloggers chose to wear.

Spring Style

As the weather slowly gets warmer, it can be tricky picking the right outfit when it's still cold in the morning. A favorite trend right now is wearing a big sweater over a dress or romper. Recently, Emma and I "studied" on the porch of our sorority house after classes, and I was obsessed with her outfit. I decided to capture her ensemble that day to share with you all. 

This look is exactly how to prepare for a chilly morning that turns into a beautiful day. This light pink J.Crew sweater works perfectly as a layering piece over this blue and white polka-dot romper. Paired with simple gold J.Crew bangles, a watch purchased through Neely by V.N.B., white Supergas, and a casual bun, this look combines chic with comfortable to make for the best outfit when transitioning into spring. We are also huge fans of these edgy sunglasses by Spitfire that are great for adding a little pop to a simple outfit.

Visit websites and stores like Zara, J.Crew, and Madewell to find other great rompers like this and also an awesome variety of pull over sweaters that are perfect as a layering piece.

As the weather gets warmer and we are confronted with the inevitable reality of facing our white jeans, it's always exciting to look into different styles that you'll be excited about wearing throughout the spring and summer. On our spring break a couple weeks ago, we couldn't avoid taking away from some beach time to shop at the amazing stores in Palm Beach (unfortunately just sticking to just window shopping on Worth Avenue,) and Izzy found these amazing AG white jeans on sale at Calypso. I know for me, when I buy white jeans, comfort is the first thing I look for and these ones are not only flattering and look amazing, but they're soft material makes them as comfortable as a pair of leggings. AG has an incredible selection of white jeans that makes it THE place to start when searching for the perfect pair for you.

One of the many things that Tay and I have learned since we started Tinner over a year ago is the different ways to alter and add to our own personal styles based on the unique fashion choices of our friends and peers. Izzy has somewhat of a preppier style than our usual style, often rocking  a cute button down and sweater or putting together other stylish but preppy items that I would never initially think of but that I'm obsessed with.

Here, Izzy rocks an "oversized" (normal sized on the rest of us,) J. Crew pullover collared shirt with her new AGs and her favorite Stubbs & Wootton flats. Paired with the crowd favorite Illesteva sunny Gs, simply gold jewelry, and pearls, this look is perfect for a beach bonfire or for class as we finally transition into spring here in Virginia. 

Stay tuned for a post this week with our top ten favorite sunglasses right now, including these bold Illestevas, all at affordable prices and unique styles that are perfect for the upcoming warm weather!  


Stormy Weather

I recently came across this sweater on Happily Grey, an amazing blog started by a woman who was excited by the idea of sharing her spontaneous outfits with others. This sweater is going to be my next purchase, as it is oversized, cozy and has awesome colors to chose from! I'm also obsessed with this turtle-neck look right now, especially with this cold weather.
