Wednesday Q&A #10

Woohoo #10 of the Wednesday Q&A series!! We are moving right along y’all.  Let’s jump on in!

How do I shop your looks you post on Instagram if I don’t have the LiketoKnow.It app??

I’m glad this was asked because I actually get this question all the time so it’ll be a good refresher!  So obviously if you DO have the LiketoKnow.It app (which you can find in the app store) then simply “liking” one of my photos on Instagram sends you an email with all of the outfit details.  The app has recently integrated a feed-like aspect to it now so you can follow influencers you love directly in the app and all of the outfit info (or home decor, etc. whatever it may be!) is right there on that post.  So if you do have the app you can follow me in it and not have to wait for the email.

Anyways, if you do NOT have the LTK app, you can always shop my looks directly on my blog by going to my menu at the top where it says “SHOP” and then a drop down menu will appear.  Click “LIKETOKNOWIT” and you will be taken to a page where you can shop all the items I have linked right there.  It will look similar to the page below and you can click here to check it out!

Just click on any of the pictures you want and the items will show up.

Where is that sweater you posted on Instagram today from?! I can’t wait until you post the outfit on your blog.

I’m happy to share!! Ya’ll can always email or message me for specific product links if you ever need, by the way!

Sweater | Gingham Top | Jeans

I’d love to know a little more about your shopping routine! Do you do a lot of online shopping? If so, how do you scout out the best deals and put your outfits together? Love your style!

Thank you!  To answer the first question, YES I do a lot of online shopping.  I primarily shop online, in fact.  I’m not a fan of malls and people all around.  I much prefer to find cute stuff from the comfort of my couch 🙂  My favorite places to shop online are Nordstrom, Revolve, Free People, Asos, and Francesca’s for clothes mainly because of the great selection (Nordstrom really is my #1 go-to y’all) and either cheap or free shipping and easy/free returns if I decide I don’t like something.  For home decor, I really love both Overstock and Wayfair. Both of which have really amazing holiday decor deals going on right now!! For any and all other miscellaneous items, I hit up Target or Amazon.

In terms of finding the deals, I am subscribed to the mailing lists of all of those places so I generally just get an email notification if they’re having a sale!! Other times I’m just lucky but I will say that I do check in pretty routinely on those sites so if I see a deal on something I’ve got, I let you all know so you can get it at the discount!! For example, my jeans linked above are currently 30% off 🙂  little FYI!

As for putting my outfits together…I don’t really have a technique for this…I will say though that trying things on together is key.  In my head sometimes things look great but then when I actually put them on, they don’t work together as I’d hoped, lol.  Pinterest is always a great place to get style inspiration. I think for me I do always try to put my own personal touch on it which typically is that whatever I’m wearing is comfortable in addition to being cute/stylish.  Because if I’m not comfortable in what I’m wearing I’m not going to like it.  That’s probably why I like pajamas so much 🙂  Like I will never be one to wear a pair of heels, no matter how excruciating they are, because they are pretty.  I do not have the Carrie Bradshaw gene.  Nope 🙂

Will your new workout program be out before 2018?? I think it would be a great way to start the New Year!!

YAY!! YES IT WILL!  I promise I am working on it in all my spare time 🙂 No matter what I have to do to make sure it’s done before 2018 it will be!! Then we can all do it together to kick off the new year.  It will be seriously so awesome.  Be sure you’re subscribed to my emails so you know exactly when it will be released.  Email subscribers will be the first to know and also get a little bonus too 🙂

Are you going to have any Holiday Gift Guides up?? I need help!

Yes absolutely!!! Those are almost ready to go live and I will put them up hopefully within the next week.  I’ll also do my best to share some Black Friday deals with ya too.

 

That’s all for now! I’m going to go work on the program some more then get my workout in 🙂

Y’all have a great night!

Bess

    Cute sweater in the photo! I see so many people post cute sweaters, but when I look at them more closely, they are porous and not actually warm or comfortable. I would love to see a post about actual warm, cozy and cute sweaters, jackets etc. Winter is coming ;).

      Thanks! This one is very warm and not porous! Very warm and comfy in fact 🙂 But I can work on a post about those things for sure!

Some habits are big & some are small but I’ve no Some habits are big & some are small but I’ve noticed these make me feel more put together & productive as a stay at home working mom of 3🫶🏼 they just help put me in the right state of mind to knock out that to-do list!

1. Working out - have been trying to get back into being an AM workout girly 
2. Getting ready - dressed, a little makeup, and some jewelry. victoriaemerson is my daily go-to!
3. Writing out my to do list - so I can figure out the most efficient way to get things done!
4. Doing a quick clean/tidying up - I find the mess and clutter to be distracting so I work better when it’s clean!
5. Lighting a candle - just had a nice calming & focusing effect. Then I get to work!

What is a daily habit that helps you?!

Linking my jewelry as well, comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links to your DMs! ⬇ https://liketk.it/4ORwb
