Outfit Ideas for Thanksgiving // Cozy + Chic

November 21, 2016

Am I alone in being completely and utterly blown away that Thanksgiving is this week?! This year has just flown by and before you know it the holiday season will have come and gone. But, there’s no reason to get ahead of ourselves which is why I’m so excited to share some outfit ideas for Thanksgiving!

Chic Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas // Hello Rigby Seattle Fashion BlogDisclosure: This post was created in partnership with Fred Meyer. All outfit ideas and thoughts are my own!

If you’re anything like my family, Thanksgiving is a time to get together, enjoy each other’s company, and eat, a lot. I like to wear outfits that while cute, definitely do not accentuate a Thanksgiving food baby. What’s great about both of these options, while dramatically different in appearance, are both very comfortable for a long car ride, will mask any over eating, and are budget-friendly and are made up of Fred Meyer finds! (Find your nearest Fred Meyer store to shop these pieces.)

The Length of Dress Every Short Girl Should Avoid

November 17, 2016

Did I get your attention? Because honestly as a “short girl,” I’ve been told to avoid so many styles that I ended up loving that I want to debunk one major one. The style in question? The midi length. I’ve read and heard over and over again that wearing anything midi length (hitting mid-calf), be it dresses, skirts or pants, is sure to make my legs look short and stumpy, and my frame to look overall frumpy.

Spoiler alert: I hate the idea that petite girls are told that they can’t pull things off, and no one needs that kind of negativity in their lives. The truth of the matter is that you can wear whatever you want. If you feel good, you will look good. And I also want to share how you can wear a midi dress and still look pretty dang cute this fall.

5 Must Haves for Your Fall Outfits

November 10, 2016

Whew. It’s been an interesting week. For me, it’s a combination of an exhausting week at work and of course, the election. I’m not one to get personal about politics but to ignore an event like that feels wrong. I’m sad to see the divide the election has caused and I hope we can all work together to end the hate from both sides and be kinder to one another. I will be doing my part to donate my time and energy to charitable causes that I personally believe in. I hope you’ll consider doing the same to build positivity in your community.

5 Must Haves for Your Fall Outfits

With that said, my goal in blogging is to bring a distraction from the outside world. To some, fashion may seem frivolous, but to a lot of us, it brings joy to a dark day. With that in mind, what better topic to talk about than fall fashion?! If that doesn’t bring joy, then I don’t know what will. ;)

3 Years + Thank You Giveaway

November 7, 2016

This fall celebrates three years of blogging. With Thanksgiving coming, I could think of no better way to kick off this month then by thanking you. When I started Hello Rigby, I had no idea what I was doing. While I was an avid reader of style blogs, I never thought I would be sharing my own outfits. I thought Hello Rigby would mostly be about my dog, but it turns out that as much as I love Rigby and being his dog mom, writing about dogs really isn’t what I’m most passionate about.

What I’m Wearing
Top: J. Jill Windowpane Tunic // Jeans: Old Navy Super Skinny Midrise // Moto Jacket: BlankNYC // Boots: Steve Madden Pistol Booties // Bag: ASOS {similar}

So as the months went on, I explored my interests in beauty and fashion, eventually landing on a combination of the two. What I love is sharing outfits that are attainable yet stylish. Beauty looks that are pretty but not overly complicated. And that life isn’t perfect, and that’s okay. For those that have been here since the early days, thank you for sticking with me. To those that have been here awhile, thank you too. And to those who are new here, thank you for visiting. I hope you come back!

Stitch Fix November 2016

November 2, 2016

Happy November! It seems like Fall is flying right by and before we know it the rest of the holidays will be here. Yikes! The start of a new month always brings me joy because it means another Stitch Fix is on its way!

Last weekend my most recent Stitch Fix arrived, and I can’t wait to share what I received with you. A new month always brings a new package on my doorstep, and let’s be honest; there’s nothing more fun than receiving mail! ;) This month I received a Fix from a new stylist named Bianca, and I couldn’t wait to see what she picked out for me.

Stitch Fix November 2016 Review

If you’re new to Stitch Fix, I’ll break it down real quick. For a $20 styling fee, receive a box on your doorstep containing five items – anything from clothing to jewelry to handbags to shoes based on your style profile and Pinterest style board. Send back what you don’t like, keep what you do, and your $20 styling fee will be deducted from the total. Keep all five items and receive an additional 25% off. Stitch Fix also is now serving male clients too! Have a significant other or male relative in need of some shopping assistance? Send them over to Stitch Fix Men! It works the same way. With the holidays coming up, don’t forget to consider giving the gift of Stitch Fix too! Gift card amounts start at just $20 and make the perfect gift for anyone who loves clothing. ;)
