Effortless Style Week: It's Fall But…

It has been some real fall weather happening here in Michigan. I’m not mad but the brief influx of warm weather to give us a break from cold, wind and long bouts of rain is quite lovely. I’m taking advantage and dressing for the warmer weather. I have Hashimoto’s disease so sometimes I’m extremely exhausted. Days of sleep wouldn’t seem to satisfy my need for endless rest. That being said, I wanted to style an outfit that would be comfortable and pretty much effortless.

I found everything in my closet, purchased either years or months before. One of the basics of any effortless outfit is a basic tee or tank. I opted for an easy mauve-nude color tank from H&M and a pair of wrap-up-the-legs leggings from Karmaloop (online). My cardigan was purchased from Meijer. My shoes are Steve Madden. Love the simplicity of them, matching the effortless theme of this look. All of jewelry with the exception of my choker is from Layered Chains.

Until Wednesday,

Bye Cupcakes!! 🍭

Weekend Girl…

Impromptu Post…

We love Monday mornings….SIIIIIKKKKKEEEE! Ha! I love them because that means we are alive and up to live our dreams. Anyhoo, what gets me through some Mondays is reflecting on the fun and/or relaxation of the past weekend. I had an interesting and very difficult one but friends that are family to me helped me through it. Check out my pics from one of my outfits this past weekend. Aye! One time for the weekend! Lol. (sigh) Forget crying over Mondays, summer is almost over so I’m trying to soak up the heat wave we got coming! <insert cheers here>

#MeijerStyle Clothing Review

If you have taken a peek at my Instagram (@citygirlstylecake) lately or checked out my last post, you can see that I showcased a cream colored lace cardigan. I truly love this cardigan and I wanted to share my review of it. First of all, I saw an ad in a fashion magazine (I can’t remember which) that showed the cardigan with the price point and availability. Most lace cardigans I’ve seen are quite expensive in my opinion for good quality. I searched for a long time so I was happy to find this one.

Review: 

Price Point- I loved the price point of 20 bucks!! If you are on a budget or simply like a good deal then you understand my excitement! I have compared some other brands/stores for similar styles and other maxi lace cardigans and this is honestly the most affordable for the quality. I was also provided a 20% off coupon (in the fashion magazine) and so I was fortunate to get an even better deal than just the price itself.

Quality- The quality of this cardigan was comparable to an item of clothing that you would probably find at an H&M or Target. I have yet to wash this item but when I do, I will update this post. The lace is not too thin that you can poke a hole without much effort. The stitch work is pretty decent, in fact I was expecting some stray threads but there weren’t. I think the quality is again, pretty darn good for 20 bucks.

Style/Design- The style of this cardigan boasts a maxi length and long sleeves. There is no way to close the cardigan. In fact, my only complaint is that I wish there was more fabric so that I could close it if I needed to. I have a larger “bottom” which actually prevented me from being able to get the cardigan anywhere near being closed. This wasn’t a big deal because my look didn’t call for the outfit to be polished, hence no need to close the cardigan. If you have a larger bottom, I would suggest going up a size.

 

All in all, I would buy this cardigan again. I purchased another cardigan and will do an ootd and review on it later. I saw other items at Meijer that I was shockingly in the urge to buy. There are a lot of nice pieces that are modern and trendy. Meijer has a variety basic tanks, tees as well as graphic tees, sweaters and sweatshirts. Jessica Simpson has a clothing line in Meijer and the items have great quality! To see some of the items of Meijer clothing section, check out #meijerstyle on Instagram.
