Kohl’s Chaps Capris and A Giveaway
(Turban and Blouse – Thrifted, Jacket – Elsewhere Vintage, Chaps Capris – Kohl’s, Shades – Urban Outfitters, Shoes – Steve Madden)
I absolutely love mixing prints… so when I was asked to be part of Kohl’s Chaps Capri campaign .. I was instantly drawn to a black and white checkered pair.
The Chaps Capri is essential and classic for spring, and I loved the idea of styling them up with bold pops of color and prints.
All styled up.. they were ready for a day down by the bay.. walking cobblestone streets, sipping coffee with my man and watching the sailboats glide by.. spring day perfection!

I LOVE the Lauren Conrad collection at Kohls. I’d probably buy the entire collection if I win. P.S. You’re beautiful. xoxo
This is such a great giveaway! I absolutely love Kohls. Their designer collaborations are so great. I particularly love the LC line as well as the Vera Wang line.

How long does it take you to pick out your outfits for a post? Do you mainly get inspired looking through your closet or before you even get in there?
It is different everyday.. sometimes 2 minutes sometimes 30 minutes. Also, inspiration is different everyday.. I might go in my closet and be inspired by a certain piece or an image I saw earlier or a color or a movie.. it is always different.
These aren’t like anything Icurrently own but are super cute! Thanks for the always-outstanding daily inspiration!
Mixing prints is perfection! Spring is definitely my favorite season 🙂
I would love to see you put together some looks inspired by different famous style icons, like you did with carrie bradshaw=D your blog is the best!
I love your style! It is sooooo Carrie Bradshaw 🙂
Love reading your blog!!!
I just recently discovered your blog and have since been eager to explore uncharted fashion territory. My wardrobe has remained stagnant for years with nothing but blacks, whites and browns filling my closet. Just two of your posts in and I was dying to own prints and colors galore! Thank you for your daily doses of inspiration!
brilliant. you’ve managed to make a traditional pair of check capri’s beautifully chic and eclectic. definitely loving the frequency of your trend and inspiration posts lately!
I want to see more of that jacket!!!
Katie
I always love your pattern mixing – really inspiring to just go for it! Do you have any suggestions on where to get scarves to wear in your hair – are vintage/thrift shopps the best place for that?
Yes.. vintage and thrift always have a great collection of scarves in all shapes, lengths and sizes.
Loving you’re twist on the preppy cropped trouser look. I heart mixing prints! And you do it oh so well.
Question – Current fav. clothing item, shoe & bag in you’re spring closet?
Mine is heavenly PJ style all over floral print palazzo pants (similar to yours a few posts back might I add), a new MJ satchel type bag I picked up in Hong Kong, all grainy, butter soft leather and metal trims and STILL my black lace up clog boots. Spring is finally starting to come to London but my toes are staying firmly under wraps for now but still looking divine enclosed in my wooden soled beauties!
Thanks for the always fresh and inspiring daily updates.
Tell me about it!!.. we need some sunshine in London!… wouldn’t it be great for all the april holidays coming up!
Wow! What a great giveaway!!!
I could definitely use the gift card to revamp my spring wardrobe!
I’d love to see you put together a Betty Draper-inspired outfit.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I love the patterns of the outfit! So very special. I am really loving cropped pants for spring, they are perfect for showing off the fancy shoes..and I’m a shoe girl!
The power of the flower. And gorgeous flowers they are. That blouse looks amazing, love the color and the big print. The white flower on your shoulder looks so interesting. big bold and beautiful. Love the Capri pants, I look like an awkward gnome if I wear a pair of pants like that. You are so fabulous with shoes. you have the best summer shoes collection I have ever seen. They always match perfectly with your outfit
Love your unique, fun & feminine style!
would *love* that gift card!! here’s something happy and sweet
I love the question about how long it takes you to put together an outfit.
Your outfits always look so effortlessly chic!
It depends on the day.. it could take me a 2 minutes.. or 30 minutes.. if I am having on of those frazzled mornings.
Wow, you’ve actually made me want a pair of gingham capris! They look amazing on you!
How much of your wardrobe do you purchase “new” and how much of it is second-hand (thrift or vintage)?
Honestly, my wardrobe is probably 80% vintage/resale/thrifted and 20% new.
Ob-sessed with this look… it has my mind racing with ideas of how to style a similar outfit. I am now on the hunt for those capris or a similar pair via a thrift store. You style everything to perfection. 🙂
I would love to see more of your thrifting excursions… they are so much fun to read because it’s what I do all the time!!
Please enter me in this great giveaway!

So glad I discovered your blog! From your wardrobe to your hair to your home, thank you for the daily inspirations!
Aww.. I remember that jacket from your Vintage Society days… am I right? Love it!
The colour pop is fantastic!
🙂
Yes.. I love that you remember it!
I love this outfit, especially the turban and capris! I need to force myself to mix patterns, I usually don’t but it looks like a lot of fun and it’s so lovely! xoxo
These make me want to give capris another try. Thanks for being a lovely inspiration first thing in the morning.
LOVE the green floral top with the black & white check capris – fabulous! Love the giveaway, too – thanks, Beth!
I would love to see more hair tutorials! You have such great style!
Love the turban and the capri’s. What are your tips on mixing prints. I would love to try but I’m afraid of looking silly.
I never would have given these a second look if I saw them in the store, but now I just may have to try a pair! Amazing styling, and inspiring as always!
i’m taking baby steps into pattern-mixing. the first step has been reading and studying this blog 🙂
next is examining my closet and having a remixing night!
thanks for the inspiration.
cheers!
emily
those pants are geniously styled B. Jones. well done.
I’d love to see on your blog some of your work with clients—the styling and wardrobe help and makeovers you give.
Who would have thought that Kohl’s and Chaps could looks so friggin’ cool! Love the pattern mix!
P.S. I love Kohl’s! I would definitely put this to good use. I have a question. What is your full time job? Blogging? Or other things? I feel like you have an interesting answer. And maybe you have answered it before, but I am somewhat new here.
Thanks for the comment Christina! I am a full-time blogger and also stylist.
love your blog! i am inspired by you daily to remix my own collection of thrift store treasures 🙂
Wow! What an amazing giveaway! Thank you.
Your posts always get me missing California. I can’t wait to get out of the south and back home!
You are Fantastic! Fantastic Pants.
I love Kohl’s. Simple Vera and Lauren Conrad are awesome and affordable brands!
Thank you for offering a great blog to keep me ever inspired. I enjoy your variety especially most recent posts like your bedroom shots, closet shots and the documentation of your thrift store trip.
It is helpful to see how another person takes an interesting item from a charity rack and integrates it into their wardrobe.
Personally I am hanging out to try a turban…
You inspire me with all of your pattern mixing, your outfit looks cohesive and unique! I’m crossing my fingers that I am chosen for the Kohl’s giveaway- they have some great options for curvy ladies like myself, and I could use some cheddar to get my spring/summer wardrobe off and running. Per usual, I’m short on cash but filled with ideas. Thanks for being brave and putting your style out there for all of us in the blogosphere to enjoy. xoxo.
I just bought my first EVER pair of capris and I’m converted. I would love a chance to explore more styles!
love the outfit! combines vintage with a bit of western. me gusta muchoooo senora.
OH you maven of pattern mixing! Love the pair of capris your rocking and I see you remixing these like crazy. xoxo Kim http://www.eatsleepwear.com
Love your blog, B! You’re always inspiring me to think outside the box and wear the clothes in my closet in new and unusual ways. 🙂
Love the mix of prints with the capri’s. So fresh.
I read your blog everyday and I love, love how you mix so many styles and colors and prints in ways that I would never think of. You always seem so confident and really rock your outfits 🙂
I truly wish I had the art of pattern mixing like you do. Your outfits inspire me to not always play it safe! Because of you I’m also on the lookout for turbans, I love the added touch of drama they provide.
Would love it if you would check out my online consignment store called octobermoonboutique.com, you might find something you like there!
hotsymalone(at)att.(net)
I love how you never cease to inspire me. I would have never thought to pull those pants from the rack and do what you did. Bravo to Kohls for selecting you for the Chaps Campaign!
Thanks for the giveaway! I would love to see some ‘B. Styled Shopping’ features at more mainstream stores, like Kohl’s.
I love Kohl’s! Thanks for the giveaway.
The capris are too cute! I love the jacket too. Sweet giveaway!
As always a stunning outfit. You definitely know how to mix and match your prints. So funny I just scored a PJ pants at a thrift store similar to the one you were sporting yesterday. You definitely inspire my style a lot. Unfortunalety you sometimes get strange looks in Germany for wearing an up-to-date outfit but that doesn’t stop me from escaping the grey and black of the masses.
I generally don’t like capris, but I think this gingham pair made me fall in LOVE! You must stop being a matchmaker!
im excited to see the shoot you did for glitter guide!!
KeepItFvncy,
M.E.
Your blog is the 1st one I read everyday. Love your style, I learn alot from your blog. Thanks for all your help.
Love mixing patterns!
PS Kohl’s Chaps line (especially the plaid button-down shirts) is seriously underestimated
I LOVE the Lauren Conrad collection and I have been eyeing her new shoe line and I would love to use the gift card to buy a few of her new spring items.
p.s your blog is great 🙂
Pick me! Pick me! I love Kohl’s and can DEFINITELY use some new pieces for spring!
Love your blog!
Super. When I see checked pants I always think of work (in kitchens) or 1950’s beach wear, but I like how you have styled these.
You look so wonderful and sophisticated! Thanks for the inspiration and ideas!
PS: And for the capri too. )))
Sipping coffee from my lipstick stained mug in my polka dot blouse, my morning is not yet complete without a cheerful reminder that there are others out there that have fun with what they wear.
Your blog is an inspiration both in outfits and in courage to push the limits, and truly express who you are through quirky clothing.
The only thing I wish your blog had more of was online shopping guides. I live in Canada, so the stores you go to, I do not have access to. I would love it if you were to be review online vintage shops so that I too can be apart of the B Jones fashion experience.
Continue a glimmer of shimmer in this famine of sparkle!
-Sara
I can’t believe this pants are CHAPS! I thought they were vintage!! I need these now!:).
P.S. Love mixing prints too:)
I love the feature you do on thrift shopping. It totally inspired me to head to my local Savers and I got a couple of cool pieces. I would love to know how you decide what will work in your wardrobe and what is too “fuddy duddy” and you just pass it up. I found some cool pieces but I couldn’t imagine how to make them look cool.
Love your blog!
Erin
I have just recently started visiting your blog and I LOVE your style!!!! Very inspiring…. thank you.
-Jennifer
You look fantastic, Beth! I love the bold shades and red scarf—-very Nicole Richie-esque! Hmmm as far as questions go, I’d love to know how you do that “scarf tied around the topknot” hairstyle your are sporting in the picture on the sidebar. =)
http://pinkchampagnefashion.blogspot.com/
I looooove this checkered look, but I can’t get over the layering of long sheer fabrics from earlier this week. Fantastic! xoam
I love your mix of prints and colors in this outfit, and I especially love your shoes!!
i’ve actually never been to a kohl’s so winning this gift card would be the perfect opportunity to shop there. 🙂
So glad you found Kohl’s! I recently spent all my bday money there, but missed that little number! Now I need to go back for some checkered capris. 🙂
Lovin’ your sense of style!!! you always rock what you wear 🙂
hi!!
your blog makes me happy! i would love to see some more glamourous cocktail hour looks.
i love how you mix vintage with new. i am surprised those pants are kohls. i love their prices.
hope all is well.
I LOVE KOHLS…and your shoes 🙂
I love the Simply by Vera Wang Collection and Lauren Conrad’s collection. PS- I am about to write a blog post about your carrie bun. check it out!
i love how you mix an element of menswear into most of your outfits. i love menswear, i use menswear fabrics alot in interiors.
who takes your pictures for you? do you do it yourself with a tripod? how long does each shoot take? i’ve always wondered the background of fashion blogs:)
Thanks for the comment.. my husband takes a lot of my photos.. usually about 5 – 10 minutes to take the shots.. and no he really has no clue about photography we just make it work 🙂
More hair tutorials! Absolutely love those…
ahhh there actually IS a khols where i live! this would be perfect! so many spring looks i’m dying to go searching for (thanks to you haha)
I’m so glad spring is here. Great styling!
Your recent looks are making me very excited for sprint, if it will ever get here! I didn’t even know Chaps made clothes for women.
http://leffetdepapillon.wordpress.com/
super cute capris!
spoilsofwear@gmail.com
I love the black and white ensemble dotted with green and red accents! The capris are definitely a good transition piece, whether you wear them to work, the beach or a nice dinner. Thanks for doing the giveaway – I would love to see more tutorials and posts about interior design from you. I loved the one about your bedroom.

Gorgeous! I can’t go a day without reading your blog! You continue to inspire my wardrobe. Thank you B! ❤
I love how simple you keep your sources for getting clothing: Target, Crossroads, QSW, vintage, thrift, and now Kohls! It really shows that not only is your blog about PERSONAL style, but that everyone is capable of creating their own looks from everyday resources. Thank you!
I love those capris! I used to have a pair like that in high school, but then I got rid of them. Sometimes I wish I still had all my clothes from high school, because I have a feeling that I would want to wear them again!
always a color inspiration!!! Thank you for hosting this giveaway@
fingers crossed…
Beth, you never cease to amaze me! And I love the wicker chair you use in some of your shots…my mom had one in the 80s and OH! how I wish she still had it. I may have to take a trip to the next Rose Bowl Flea Market…
Thanks for the giveaway!!
Paige
Love how you took a basic pair of cropped pants and made them look so fresh with your unique and bold touches. Question for you: (Hypothetically speaking of course and God forbid this were to ever happen because you closet is INSANE!!) If your closet were to catch on fire, what ONE clothing item of yours would you save!?
XO, Katie
http://www.runningonhappiness.blogspot.com
That is hard.. my opening ceremony coat.. my camel vintage trousers.. and ah.. I can’t decide.
Those capris are awesome! I love ’em. I hope I win!
It’s amazing – you make anything and everything look utterly fabulous. Love the print mixing!
Oh, I just love Kohl’s and I love, love, love how you’ve styled these capris. Love the mixing of prints too!

I recently discovered this blog and am truly enjoying it all. Thanks!
First of all-I love your style-it’s so varied, yet so clearly you. It’s pushing me to find my own signature style and then push the boundaries. I’ve also gone shopping at vintage and thrift stores and actually found things that I love and have incorporated into my closet. I’d be interested in seeing something like a vintage/thrift problem solving post-like, how much can you do if you find something you love, but it’s stained somewhere. Or what’s the best way to get rid of that lingering thrift store smell? What are things that can easily be fixed with a good tailor? Also, will the Stylit ever be available to purchase again? Thanks for the inspiration!
The pattern is so cute and I love how you’ve styled them! Fun!
Would love to see more of your decorating in your house!! Also, would love a post about how you can handle everything you do! Stylist, blogger, QSW, wife, gorgeous home and always look so put together! What are your secrets to juggling everything and still be very successful! Fill us in 🙂
(I look forward to your blog every morning to start my day off!)

Whenever I’ve tried capris they always looks like mom-ish. After seeing this outfit I think I’ll give them another go.
this mix is insane! looooove it :)))
I am loving Kohls lately. I recently got the Chaps red, white and blue girly boat shoes to complete any nautical look.
I would love to see more advice on thrifting! I am just recently getting into it and would love any advice or strategies you can provide based on your experience!
Love the mixing of the prints…you do such a great job with that!
Oh boy, there’s a ton of comments today; way to go, B!
Love how you styled this outfit! I really adore those shoes…
http://foodfashionandflow.blogspot.com/
hii! you’re blogs amazing! thanks for introducing me to crossroads store, its the best! can you do an outfit completely accessorized for a night out in Vegas with the girls for under $50? it will help plan outfit for upcoming my summer trip. THANKS!
I need a turban, I think. 🙂
I absolutely love how you styled this outfit. You took a really traditional element and made it modern and fun. LOVE the pattern mixing.
LOVE the pop of red and green with all the black and white. And I love Kohl’s 🙂
well wouldn’t this giveaway just make my day! I”m adoring those capris and with a trip to Belize at the end of the month they’d be perfect for beach combing. Fingers crossed!
I normally don’t love capris, but these are beauties! I get so much inspiration for my thrifting from your posts. Love!
You dress so great! And this is a great giveaway!
Yay, thanks for the great giveaway! I heart your blog!!!
After your “pajama pants” post I went in search of crazy pants for myself. Turned up nothing but Chicos and Coldwater Creek. Hmmph! You could just find me up a pair and drop them by my office in Huntington, right? You are snatching up all my goodies!
Love the your style, blog and tutorials. Keep ’em coming!
Those capris look great with the Steve Madden heels.
Love,

OHmYSweetNess! First, I just want to thank you for being such an inspiration! Everyday your blog is the first i look at. Second, I want you to know that I absolutely love Style shopping! You always give such great advice! as always I’m ready to go to bed so I can wake up and see what your up to next…. AND it’s not even noon yet!

Your blog and your style are major inspirations for growing my closet stock pile. But it would be much easier if I could just have your wardrobe!
You have an awesome blog. I prefer bloggers who use vintage pieces and you do it so well! I also enjoyed the use of vintage in your bedroom. My suggestion would be to share more of your house!
Your post are a constant reminder that Spring is here!!!!!
Love your weekly recaps of where we can find similar clothing you have styled through the week.
la_dowdle@yahoo.com
i love the look! mixing patterns and colours can sometimes be a little scary, but you always seem to pull it off!
I met you once at a vintage trunk show you were hosting in Silverlake! LOVE your blog! Your daily outfit posts are great inspiration but I especially love your interior design and closet posts!!
xoxo

Your fearlessness with mixing prints has inspired me to try something new and put a spin on the pieces I already own. (I pretty much stick to the same tried and true outfits) I love checking your blog for daily inspiration 🙂
I love your style! You have such a great eye for everything. I am not as brave as you but, admire from afar!
You rock from your funky headband down to your fab shoes. Keep posting pics! They’re the best!
I’m not trying to be a bootlicker or anything, but I always, ALWAYS visit your blog because you’re the most adventurous, fun dresser I know of & I love how you experiment a lot w/ prints and layers in such a way that anyone else can w/o looking out of place & yet standing out.
As for what I would like to see next, I’d say.. in addition to something Elizabeth Taylor-inspired, I’d like to see maybe.. well, it’d be fun to see you try out a Gyaru look (mode gyaru perhaps?), but yes I know it’s most probably not your thing, but yeah that’s just me. Would be wild though!
love this look! your look is always so ecclectically perfect!
Love your capris!

Love this giveaway…there are a few Vera Wang shoes I want SO bad and haven’t picked up yet.
Personally ( I have been following your blog for about 6 months or so) I would love to see a cocktail or black tie look …like “going to a gala or fancy wedding look”. I have never seen anything that dressy featured before…and would LOVE to see your fabulous take on formal wear.
C
Recently discovered your blog and love it! Love Kohl’s too – the designer collaborations are great!
B.!!! I love the way you styled those pants. You know, I actually had my eye on those and I couldn’t think of how I would wear them. Sheesh! Now, I want to go back and get them. Lol. (I’m gonna wait and see if I win that gift certificate first!) *crossing my fingers*
xoxo,
Eboni Ife’
Love the colors of your top, just wish you had shown the whole thing!
had not previously given much thought to kohl’s, but have recently been stopping in every few weeks or so on my way home from work. i’ve found some really great items! i’ve been especially taken with the vera wang (LOVE the tights!) and lauren conrad collections.
have just begun following your blog, but would love to see some tutorials and/or tips on how to repurpose items that one might have in their closet that seem to have lost their relevance… like ways to dress up a plain summer dress or new ways to use accessories or something? or maybe even simple tweaks to plain items to make them more stylish?
I am completely in awe of the fact that you managed to make a pair of pants, reminiscent of ones that I had in 7th grade, completely fresh, chic, and fashion forward. Kuddos!
http://www.worldinapapercup.wordpress.com
Kohls is such a fun store! Thanks for the chance!
so fab! Love that almost all of your shopping in on a budget. Your thrifty finds are so inspiring!
I have to get a head scarf like the one you’re wearing! Perfect!
I love your style! I am always inspired when I visit your blog – now I must start mixing prints.
I love kohl’s, they have really great shoes and designer collaborations. I also love your blog! You have renewed my love of thrift shopping and the thrill of the hunt 😉 I agree that it would be wonderful to see another post about outfits inspired by style icons from movies/tv shows. thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
You look great as usual. I read your blog everyday. As a matter of fact you’re on my favorites tab on my computer. I love the shoes. Are they a recent purchase? Thanks for hosting the giveaway!!
Unfortunately, I purchased these shoes a few years ago.. sorry about that!
I adore those capris! So retro, especially paired with the wedges. Such a sophisticated and classic summer look. =]
xx Melina
.but i like it.
LOVE Kohls! Especially the Vera Wang collection. You look fab!
Thank you for this giveaway and for being a constant source of fashion inspiration! I’m always excited to check for your latest unexpected and brilliant ensemble! 🙂
Your quirky mix and matching is so inspiring! I have yet to be so bold with my prints
question:
what shampoo/ conditioner do you use to make your hair so healthy and pliable? I love playing with my hair so any tips would be great 🙂
Honestly, I don’t use expensive products.. just garnier fructis shampoo and conditioner. I happen to have a lot of hair.. which makes it easy to do a lot of different looks.
I love your style and I love Kohls! I love being able to find cute, solid pieces that are easy to match with stuff I already own! I go there and can buy a few things and feel like I have a whole new wardrobe.
Thanks to you I get new ideas for outfits nearly every day! So amazing!
I just recently stumbled upon your blog and am hooked! I love your style , your photos have reinvigorated my love for thrift store shopping and fun hair. Thank you!!
Your blog is so awesome!
Today’s happy moment – a colleague gave me amazingly fragrant daffodils in a pot. That put a permanent smile on my face! 🙂
Another fantastic pattern match. Every time I’m stuck staring at my closet, I look at your outfits for inspiration, so thanks for helping me get dressed in the morning:).
Such a cool look! Love how you make your outfits so fun with a theme throughout the outfit.
http://www.hourglass-fashion.blogspot.com
Great pattern mixing!
I would love to see you do more color blocking! You have so many options to choose from, I’m sure which ever colors you decided to use would be super cute!
I love the fact that you incorporate alot of thrifted items into your stylish outfits. Thanks for the giveaway!!
You have a great name! 😉 And I love your outfits and the way you mix colors and patterns. I have been browsing your blog for color-blocking inspiration!
Wow. Lot’s of comments today! I just wanted to say how much I love how you can put the seemingly most random things together and look so chic. It’s something I was better at in my 20’s and am trying to get back to! Your style is so inspirational.
Jenn
I love b.jones style, i love Kohl’s, and now i love chaps capris!!!
I love the way your outfit looks! So cute! Thanks for the wonderful giveaway 😉
gina.m.maddox AT gmail DOT com
i’ve never really known quite how to rock capris, but with your visual eye candy of an outfit above, i think i’m gonna go on a print-on-print frenzy and wear a completely mismatching pair of ankle socks and booties with said capris … just because fashion should be fun, right? 😉 thanks for the style lesson, b!
Thank you so much for making print-mixing much less intimidating! I also always anticipate your Cheapest Accessory tutorials! Love them!
I did the braided hairstyle for class on Friday! I got tons of compliments. : )
I’m so stoked! Love Kohls…especially all their jewlery, accesories and the Vera Wang line.
Great post!
love your turban and shoes. the way that you mix up your style constantly is very carrie. keep it up 🙂
This is great 😉 Love to purchase some maxi dresses for the Spring/Summer! Fingers crossed!
~Giselle
I love how you styled these capris! The mix of colors and prints are perfect!
Amazing giveaway! I’d like to see some tips for vintage shopping. I’m ashamed to admit that I haven’t done much vintage shopping but I’m looking forward to doing so more often!
Great looks always!! I especially love how you mesh vintage and new – you can’t find that in a store and look like everyone else!
You’re a modern day alchemist! You take thrift store and bargain finds and blend with your own personal style and create gold! Love reading your blog and getting inspired to re-evaluate my own closet. Thanks!
Help me out here Beth, what’s your suggestion for someone who lives the opposite seasons to you northern hemisphere folk when it comes to following fashion? I live in a constant flux of trying to predict what’s going to be the look for autumn (which it is for me now) in 6 months time, but am well and truly over last autumn’s look by the time it gets to me!
Thankfully, all the runway shows are ahead about 6 months.. check out the fall runways on Style.com or Elle.com and that will give you loads of inspiration for your season! You will be ahead of the game and on trend before us.
You are always an inspiration! Yea, Spring!
my blurb of happiness for the day: i had a job interview today and it went really well 🙂
LOVE your style and your cheapest accessories series!
your blog rocks and is a great inspiration!!!
I worked at Kohls in the past and never thought much of the Chaps brand. Now I am looking at them in a new light.
Loooove your blog! Im a huge thrifter too! Can u do a weekly hair or makeup tutorial?
I do hair tutorials every other week.. it works better in my schedule.
I love your blog and I’ve always had these two questions…
1. What are some of your favorite outfits that you’ve put together? I’d love to se a top 10 or something like that. Just a thought. =)
2. If you could style one “celebrity”, who would it be?
Thanks for the giveaway! You’re awesome. =)
Hi! I love your blog! I would love to see more of your interior design posts! I love the way you decorated your office and I’d be interested in seeing more of your house!
I LOVE the Vera Wang collections at Kohl’s. And I love seeing you style up items I can find in stores near me!
I really like Kohls. I can find some great basic’s to mix and match with other items. They also have really fun jewelry.
Just starting following your blog and I absolutley LOVE it! The hair tutorials are awesome and you always make me want to go on a new thrifting adventure! Thinking about starting my own blog… any advice?
xoxo
Alex
love the giveaway. your bog is always a must see for me everyday! 🙂
I have loved following your blog, your daring style is inspiring! Thanks for the great giveaway!
Oh those Chaps Capri are wonderful I saw love the black/white combination; Wow I could use this gift-card get some new outfits since I have lost some weight 🙂 Wish I could do the turban look, just wrote a post on my blog about turbans now and then sad to say they do not normally look good on me…

I love the way you mix prints and patterns! And thank you for posting “your cheapest accessory”-
I love your hair tutorials:)
This is an exert of a poem a friend showed me a while back.. Inspiration I have taken and formed to my every day.. I feel the need to show it to the world and who better to start than with you?? I love your blog, because it is all about being your self- simplicity at its best.
Desiderata
by Max Ehrmann
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love; for on the face of all aridity
and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass,
Take kindly to counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering
the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune,
But do not distress yourself with imaginings, many fears are
born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees or stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is
unfolding as it should.
Therefore, be at peace with
God, whatever you conceive him to be,
And whatever your labours and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams
It is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful, strive to be happy.
I pretty much love all of your posts, but I must admit that my heart skips a beat when I see that you’ve posted a hair/makeup tutorial:)
I can’t recall when or how I stumbled upon your amazing blog/website but since then, I have found it to be an ongoing inspiration. I have it saved as a favorite and access it, like clockwork, every morning. Some start their days with current event or global finance periodicals…I prefer to start my day with you, Beth!
Thank you for consistantly dressing for you and inspiring us all in the process 🙂

the casual carrie bradshaw bun is my new favorite! so many compliments.
me please!!!!
[unrelated to khol’s in every sense] how do you tie the back of yo’ turband? or do you just buy those pre-shaped versions? i look faboo in a good turband but the knot at the back of my head is such a turn-off. PLEASE ADVISE.
I tie it in a knot and then tuck the excess underneath the scarf.
Hi,
I would love to see some more 70’s inspired outfits. Thank you for broadening my fashion out look.
Blurb of happiness: I’m having a wonderful week! I got my first ever portrait commission Sunday night! Then today, I had a drawing win a prize in an exhibit = ).
Okay, enough of that haha…
I’d love to see a post (or a week of posts) representing different decades. Maybe start it off with a vintage photo or two and then show your own interpretation.
I LOVE the Shop My Style posts on your blog and being able to find one of your pieces at my local Kohl’s is even better!
Love your style…you are truly inspiring!
I love your blog. Can you do some more thrift store finds?
Thanks!
I love the way you incorporate clothes from all budgets into your style – truly fantastic! 🙂
i absolutely love the mix of patterns in this outfit…i wish i had an eye for mixing patterns…
So happy to have found your blog! And what a great giveaway. 🙂 I’d definitely put it to good use! xo

Love the black & white check capris- after looking at so many pictures of vintage & thrifted clothing -as a 48 year old I only wished I would have saved more classic items from years ago as I see so many things coming back. I had black & white check pants about 20 years ago & loved them…. wish I knew where they were now! probably someone scored them at a goodwill! 🙂
I so love your style! You’re probably my favorite style blogger to follow because you inspire me to dress so out of the box! Thank you!

What a great giveaway!
What I’d love to see from you in the future is a Your Cheapest Accessory book.
Seriously, you inspired me to do more with my hair than wear it down. I’ve always been afraid to try updos because my past attempts failed so miserably. But, after your tips, I was brave enough to try, and now I can’t stop myself. The Carrie bun was the one that started it all. Thanks for that!
What an awesome giveaway. Love to enter. Hmm, well I absolutely adore your hair tutorials, so I would be thrilled with more of those!
It’s incredible! Your mix of old and new is really inspiring ;0) Thank you for motivating me to see what I wear as an expression of who I am, not just something you wear for the sake of wearing.
I like your blog! I recently stumbled upon it and I like how you have tutorials, from what I’ve seen you seem pretty chill. I would also love to win a Kohls gift card~
Your outfits are fabulous – always so unique! Love the look!

love all your outfits! you have such creative style!
Swoon! I love it all. As always! And I love your hair tutorials even more. Crossing my fingers so I can add those chaps to my closet 🙂 pick me!
I adore the capri’s!!! So cute!
B.Jones, I am so excited that Kohl’s is going to get advice from you on how to style their Chap’s ads. I used to work there and they definately need help appealing to those whoa ren’t 60 as far as that brand is concerned. i also can’t wait for that “your cheapest accessory” with that braid poof!
wow! perfect mix of prints and thrifted and new! love the turban against your haircolor it is really pretty!! something i would like to see in the future is my shop to open up one day! a question for you is how many hours do you spend blogging per week? and a little blurb of happiness tonight is sweatpants, popcorn, and lost with my puppy and guy!
I have been following your blog for the past few months. Your style is incredible and I love getting fresh new ideas from your site!
I love the gingham pants! And just your whole outfit, is fantastic!
Awesome giveaway! Can’t wait to experiment with some fun, new spring and summer looks 🙂
I LOVE YOUR BLOG! I found it through cupcakes and cashmere. It’s a daily read for me. Thanks for sharing you fashion sense and videos.

Hi, love your elegant style of fashion, you are so creative in mixing the styles and colours,
great! I would be very glad to win, and bring a little bit of the creative american style of fashion to good old germany!
Thanks!
kind regards, Jutta (Eve/my blogname)
This outfit makes me smile and who better to kick off the challenge than you!
I am seriously inspired by this outfit! I already went to Kohl’s to try on the capris, I sure wish they were offered in a size 2.
Thank you for being a fab source of wardrobe inspiration!
I have been reading (faithfully!) your blog for almost a year now and quite frankly, my style has gone from drab to fab, thanks to you and your inspiration. Really enjoy your new postings of “Shop My Style” — thanks for doing all the legwork for us! You are such a beautiful young woman with a big heart!
adore your blog…i’m copying the look 🙂
Great giveaway…thanks! I love all of your outfits, even the ones that i would never have the nerve to wear myself. You definitely inspire me to create a style that’s my own and I always look forward to reading your blog to see what new inspirations you’ve come up with!
When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreams
as the north wind lays waste the garden.
For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you.
Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.
…one of my favorite quotes from Kahlil Gibran’s the Prophet. Wanted to share a little beautiful passage on love!
Hope you’re going well B.Jones! Send a little sunshine to Boston, ok? 🙂
Your outfits make me think about clothes differently. I love to see what you put together.
Absolutely love this combination! Most of us would shy away from wearing a print like that since we think it should only go with a solid color top. But I love how you added the floral print blouse! Those shoes look very comfortable, are they?
love the pants! the whole outfit actually but the pants made me smile!

Thanks for the chance. 🙂 I’d love this!

i was going to leave a comment anyway because i LOVE this outfit–i’m going to “like” it on bloglovin’ for my inspiration folder 🙂
love that spring is back and we can finally break out some more color and capris! they look great
You always inspire me to take more chances and walk out of the house in something that feels a little bit crazy.
Thank you for that!
I absolutely love the white and black checkered pattern, there are so many bold prints you could match them with!!! And as always you look great 🙂
I adore capris! They’re perfect for warm weather while managing to leave something to the imagination. I hope to pick up a few pairs for weekend bike rides around the city.
It’s seasonal items like these that make it easier to pack away all my lovely sweaters and winter coats. It’s going to be a wonderful spring! 🙂
I love the outfit, thanks for the inspiration.
Yay! Sign me up! I love Kohl’s! The best part of this post is the I’ve held on to a pair of capri’s that look EXACTLY like this for the last 6-7 years, knowing I wanted to wear them again. I just couldn’t figure out how to style them and make them modern. THANK YOU!!
You styled this perfectly, but I wouldn’t expect anything other than that from you. 🙂
I recently tried on a similar pair of pants at J. Crew and they were all kinds of not good. I think the length of these pants (and how you styled it) made the print less picnic table and more pulled together.
This is a great giveaway. I would definitely put it to good use, especially in the Vera Wang and Lauren Conrad sections.
I love the chaps! Love the way you styled them!
I’d love to see more of the shoots or people you style!
Love Kohl’s. Love your blog. Thanks for sharing 🙂
I love your blog – it’s one of my daily reads!
I am loving Kohl’s these days. (I never thought I would say that.) So many cute things.
I love your blog and you inspire me to take risks- with fashion of course!
Love Kohl’s! Especially Vera Wang’s line and Lauren Conrad’s line.
i’d love to win the contest! also, i’d love to see more of your “cheapest accessory” posts. i love those!
I actually just got hired at Kohls! I can’t imagine the things my discount would get me with this giftcard…so amazing
🙂
What would your ideal wedding style be? I’d love to see what you had in mind for bride/bridesmaids and dedicate a posting to that theme!! You have such a cool fashion sense and I’d love to get some inspiration from it!!
I absolutely love this outfit. It’s so chic. I also love Kohl’s and those capris are perfect!
i would absolutely LOVE to see you do a week of outfits inspired by elton john, similar to what you did with the carrie bradshaw inspiration! 🙂 also, love this outfit and pretty much all your other ones too! keep it up-
Yay for giveaways! Hope you’re having a great week! 🙂
The fact that it is nearing the time that I would be ABLE to wear capris is a blurb of happiness for me. 🙂 The fact that you styled up these adorable black and white gingham pair always makes me happy. It doesn’t get more classic than this!
Mmm a new spring wardrobe is just what I need to kick off life after graduation, my fingers are crossed 🙂 Although I will certainly settle for the weather finally drifting into warm breezes instead of hale ridden gusts so send some of your weather this way, it looks beautiful over there from your pictures!
I’m a first time commenter and a long, long time reader/lurker. Since you just posted a retrospective of pictures from when you were in between blogs, I want to ask: have you ever considered putting together a best of retrospective for your old blog? I love your new blog, but it makes me sad that your new fans can’t really see how you transformed yourself since you started your first blog with the intention of using it as a platform to start your own vintage store. It’s been inspiring for me to see how your hopes and dreams have evolved over time and I’m sure your new fans would like to see that, too.
Keep up the good work!
I love your style! I enjoy your blog and I love to see what you are wearing next!!
i love those! i never wear capris but i think i should give them a whirl this spring/summer!
Love your style revolution post… i feel like i’ve been reading for awhile and loved seeing all the photos from “back in the day”!!
I Love the checks, reminds me of being a little girl for some reason. Th scarf with the capris is so happy!
Love your blog lady! hope i’m a winner winner chicken dinner!
I check your blog every evening for my daily dose of outfit inspiration! thank you!!
Love your hair tutorials! You give this stay-at-home momma inspiration everyday!!
