Okay, so I really have no way of knowing if you actually want to know what I wear on the weekends when I run errands. And really, what are errands, anyway? I mean, grocery shopping? Or be-bopping around town? Going to the drug store? Dry cleaners? I don’t even know. What errands do you do when you’re “running errands”?

But yeah, this is pretty much a good visual of what I wear on a weekend. My favorite, super comfy Gap bootcut jeans, a t-shirt, a scarf, and TOMS. Yes, I love TOMS. LOVE THEM. And I got these UNC Campus Classic TOMS (Go Heels!) for Christmas from my in-laws and I’m URBSESSED with them. I wear them ALL. THE. TIME.

Seriously, most comfortable shoes I own, hands down.

What does your go-to “errand running” or casual weekend outfit consist of?

I’m so excited to FINALLY share this post! It’s felt like FOREVER since I got these tights and leggings in the mail to style. However, I’m excited to share not ONE, but TWO looks with you today. And yes, the second look I have long hair. It’s not magic.

Anywho.

So, I’ve said before that my personal style is a bit chameleon-esque – in that, one day I’ll wear something totally preppy, the next day I’ll wear something totally country, and the next day I’ll wear something totally biker chick. I like variety in outfits. Maybe that matches my personality. I’m a little all over the place. Just kidding.

Anyway, No Nonsense sent me a pair of colored patterned tights and a pair of colored leggings to try and style.

So, the first outfit I put together was with a pair of deep purple checked tights. I. LOVEEEE. THESE. TIGHTS. Seriously! I have wanted SO badly to try the colored tights trend and this was my first foray into that.

The fit is super comfortable and the color is just right – they add such a pop of fun to the outfit!

Seriously, how fun are these tights?! I can think of like 20 different ways to style them and I can’t wait to wear these all winter.

Now, the second pair, a pair of red corduroy leggings, were awesome when I saw them and then CRAZY tough to style when I actually put them on.

I love how soft they are and the corduroy texture really makes them interesting and different from other standard red, cotton leggings – but the fit was a little off for me at first – right length, crazy huge in the waist. I washed them a few times and that did help.

The challenge with these for me, as soft and comfy as they are, is to style them and make them look fashionable without looking like pajamas or Santa pants. I was really very nervous about them looking like Santa pants.

So, after a few trials and errors, this was a look I came up with and I ended up really liking it.

This would actually be a GREAT casual Christmas party or holiday party outfit. Just in my humble opinion. The causal corduroy tights with the sweater make it comfy, but the leopard flats, gold belt, and plenty of jewelry add that touch of glam. :) I’m still toying around with some other ways to style these leggings, and I’ll definitely share the outfits with you as I come up with them!

How would YOU style red corduroy leggings?

My Attempt at Fashion: Jewelmint!

12 Replies

You guys, I’m going to preface this by saying I never win anything. Like, I never win stuff. Not even lame things. I just don’t win things. But I still enter contests for the heck of it.

Well, a couple weeks ago on one of my fave wedding blogs, Green Wedding Shoes, Jen (the editor) was holding a JEWELMINT contest.

Now, I’d drooled over Jewelmint for a while, but through wedding planning and saving money, I couldn’t justify $29.99 to join – even though I REAAAAAAAAAALLY wanted to.

Well, I entered the GWS Jewelmint contest and low and behold… I WON. I was SO EXCITED. I won $150 credit (which is basically the equivalent of five pieces of jewelry) – PLUS there was a promo for a BOGO piece of jewelry if it was your first time. So, BOOM. SIX pieces of jewelry. FREE. No shipping. NOTHING.

I was pumped.

I mean, the MOST money I spend on accessories is like $3 in the Target or Wal-mart clearance section. Seriously.

In short, Jewelmint is a “subscription” service where you join and pay $29.99 a month – and each month you get a new piece of jewelry (of your choice) – free shipping. You can like, skip a month, and whatnot… so it’s not like you’re locked in to a contract or anything. I think you can also buy credits too… OH and you can refer people and get free credits, too.

Now, I’m not being sponsored by Jewelmint or anything – I just figured I’d explain what it is for those who are curious! Cause I had no idea what it was when I first heard about it.

You may have also heard of Stylemint (clothes) or Shoemint (shoes, duh) – and OH MAN, they’re coming out with HOMEMINT. Yeah. HOME GOODS. Designed by JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE. WOOP.

Anyway, my Jewelmint prize / order came in yesterday and I was SO SO SO excited! I felt like it was my birthday, or something. I thought I’d share with you guys what I got. Honestly, even though I got all the pieces for free cause of the GWS contest, I would totally subscribe to this. I don’t think I’d do it EVERY month (cause that’s just not practical) – but for $29.99 and no shipping and REALLY good quality, unique jewelry, I’d do it again.

Just saying.

Sorry I ramble so much.

On to the jewelry:

I love the packaging!

Plume Paradise Earrings

The Shanghai Eclipse Pendant

The Atlantis Pendant

Natural Beauty Bracelets

Maasai Tribal Bangle

Garden Patch Trio Bangles

My Polyvore Board of my Jewelmint Items

Molly's April 2012 Jewelmint Items
Only thing that kinda stinks is one of the Natural Beauty Bracelets was seriously broken when I opened it… so sadly, I can’t wear it. So I contacted Jewelmint and BOOM, they’re paying the shipping for the return and giving me a credit for a new piece.

That’s a WIN, if you ask me!


I can’t wait to sport some of these!


Oh, and in the spirit of #WINNING, our CANVAS came in yesterday, too! We got 2nd place in the Katelyn James love shots contest (thank you SO much to everyone who voted!) and we got our GORGEOUS canvas. I am obsessed with it. It’s amazing. Isn’t it?!
Have you ever tried Jewelmint? Or any of the “mints” for that matter? Would you ever? Do you win contests or are you typically a contest “loser” like I am?
xoxo, all for now.
