Sense of Sarah: My Personal Style - Meet the Shaneyfelts

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this before on the blog, but clothes are my passion. I almost majored in fashion merchandising/retail instead of English because I dreamed of working for a big department store as a buyer. Instead, I felt like God was calling me to teach English–that’ll be a post for another day!

I was so excited when I saw that Andrea was hosting a Show and Tell Tuesday today to share your personal style because that also fit perfectly with a Sense of Sarah post!

Before I describe what I feel like my personal style is, I thought I would ask a few of those closest to me to tell me what they think my style is–they were all really nice with what they said about me haha!

“Casual and sophisticated”-Kristi

“Classy southern”-Dustin

“Fashion forward, trendy, bold. You are braver than me with patterns and such.”-Sarah

“Kate Middleton”-my mom (love her haha)

“You are good at taking classic, staple pieces and making them look ultra trendy.”-Hailey

I tend to describe my style as classic, but I like mixing in a lot of different styles, too. My favorite stores are Anthropologie, GAP, Banana Republic, and J.Crew.

I love my Patagonia and I wear it year-round. I know that sounds crazy but it keeps me warm in the winter and then doesn’t make me sweat during warmer months when I get cold. It has got to be the fabric that makes it like that!

And I wear these shoes anytime I want to dress down skinny jeans and look casual. They were the best during the fall and winter months!

I am long-waisted so when I find a romper that fits, I buy it! This one came from Anthropologie, but they’re already sold out.

Find one similar here and here.

And these Sam Edelman sandals are my #1 favorite! I have the both the nude and black and I’m looking to add leopard print this summer–that’s a neutral right?

I LOVE chambray. I would wear it all the time if I could because it’s so comfortable and it goes with everything! This chambray dress is similar to mine. This one is a cheaper version.
And if you’re a teacher, you need these OTBT shoes. I can stand all day in them and my feet never hurt.

So another chambray item 🙂 This top is an older Cloth and Stone shirt from Victoria but this is similar. I love the Cloth and Stone brand–it washes well and is ultra-classic.

These jeans are new and are my new obsession. I used to have a pair of white Lilly jeans when I weighed a lot more, but since I lost weight, I haven’t found a pair that lived up to my old Lilly jeans. I also didn’t want to pay the $180 price tag on the Lilly jeans. I tried on a million different white jeans and just couldn’t find a pair that wasn’t see through. Then I walked into J.Crew. These jeans in the matchstick fit are the most comfortable jeans and aren’t see through at all! Plus, J.Crew gives a teacher discount! Oh yeah!

I got this dress to wear on our cruise, but I’m wearing it as much as I can before we leave! I love Lilly so much, but I go through phases where I want to wear bold clothes with crazy prints and then I don’t. Right now, I’m in a bold and bright phase 🙂

I really love the back of this dress, too.

How would you describe your personal style?
