Flat Lay Favorites

Happiest of Fridays to you! Hope you have an exciting and/or romantic weekend planned with your loved one. All I know is that I have a lash fill tomorrow and I'm hoping to squeeze in my fave barbecue place, but otherwise, I guess I'll just wait and see what the weekend has in store for me! I thought I would leave you with some of my flat lay favorites. These particular flat lays were created for outfits I actually wore on the blog and took proper photos of, so I thought it would be fun to share the flat lay views of some outfits you've already seen. Flat lays are the most helpful for me when it comes to color and pattern pairing. Hope you get inspired!

The last two are outfits from this week! Flay lays are so great for outfit planning. I've been doing them pretty regularly now to plan what I will wear for the next day. But, if I don't wear that outfit the next day, the flat lay just goes into an archive and when I can't figure out what I want to wear that day, I just refer back to them for inspiration. Not quite Cher's rotating closet from Clueless, but it works for me!

Before I go, if you haven't heard, Express is having a pretty great sale right now - 40% off tops and jeans and 30% off select dresses. Unfortunately, all of my favorite pairs of Express jeans are either low in stock or no longer available, but there are two other staples that I wanted to recommend if you don't already have any!

THE OVERSIZED PLAID SHIRT: Shop current colors HERE

Apparently I like them best when worn open over a tee shirt or cami, so I guess you can say that they're my favorite cardigan! They're the perfect layer when I just want to add a little bit more interest to my outfit or feel a little more covered up without having to wear an actual sweater or a jacket. One of these days I will actually count how many I have, but I know my collection is reproducing like rabbits. I just ordered this grey and pink color yesterday. Also, I size down in these as they do fit a bit oversized as the product name implies.

THE BARCELONA CAMI: Shop current colors HERE

And if you prefer short sleeves or tanks vs. a long sleeved top, there's always the Barcelona cami. My favorite one is the olive stripe, and lucky for you, it is still available AND it's reversible, so you get two camis for the price of one! Similar to the plaid tops, the colors and patterns of these come and go pretty quickly, so if you see one you like, you should probably just buy it, especially for such a great discounted price!

Anddddd, while we're talking about Express - you still have time to enter the $100 Express Gift Card Giveaway! You can read all the details in the original post HERE, or I've also inserted the Rafflecopter directly below if you just want to get straight to entering! Good luck!!!

  1. You know now I'm considering ordering a size down in the plaid shirt since the xs is so big. Love your flatlays :)

  3. Okay, so I have a striped cardi now but your striped jacket here (with the blue barcelona) and Rachelle's earlier this week have me really wanting a striped jacket! Hopefully some day the right one will come along. Ha ha! I also really love how you style your pieces into flat lays for outfit planning. I really wish I had a better system for that, but flatlaying is more frustration than therapy for me. :P
