Name Change (again???)

I think one of the hardest things about this blog has been the name. Trying to find something that fits me as a person but also be something people remember and like. I used to be known as petiteinherpearls and after a while I started to feel as though that name didn't fit me anymore and I needed something more "grown-up", so I changed the name to bleuandwhit which was my own spin on blue and white and also me trying to come up with a super clever name. It didn't work and I started to feel as though it was not me.

I can still remember coming up with the name petiteinherpearls, Kyle and I were driving home from Myrtle beach listening to a Gary Vaynerchuk podcast about buisness and taking initiative, and if you want something in life you need to go out and get it. So as we were making the long drive home and bouncing ideas off of each other petiteinherpearls was what we came up with and I loved it.

So why the new name now? Well if I could I would go back to petiteinherpearls but unfortunately, that can't happen because the .com for that domain name is already taken by something that looks like spam. Also, a new name because to be honest with you I can't tell you the last time I wore anything that had pearls on it but I can tell you the last time I wore a pair of heels. Being 4'9 heels have become a girl's best friend, I'll take any type of help in the height department I can get. With that also being said I would not change my height even if I could, I love being this size and it's something I have embraced in my life.

So I hope that you like this new name change and embrace all things petite with me!

Outfits Throughout the Week

This past week I took photos of my outfits every day to show you guys what I wear on a regular week in my life. Right now I am running back and forth between school and work and home so right now my style is mainly casual and comfortable but still looking professional and cute. Which can be pretty hard sometimes so I thought these would be good ideas.

Monday was super warm here this past week and I had to go to work after class was over so I like to wear an outfit to school that works well with work so I don't have to change later on in the day. 

 Old Navy: Off the shoulder top (similar) | Old Navy: White jeans | Target: gladiator sandals | Kendra Scott: Necklace 

This is typically what a Tuesday outfit looks, Tuesdays I work at the preschool so leggings are my go to. I like to be comfortable to run after the kids and be able to not worry about my jeans getting paint or juice on them. 

Gap: Sweater (similar) | Old Navy: Leggings | Target: slip-on sneakers | Charming Charlies: Necklace

Wednesday's are my longest day of the week but on this particular Wednesday, I had to present my study that I am working on to a couple of classes so I wanted to look more presentable then casual. I love taking a simple outfit and adding a necklace and a vest to dress it up. 

Old Navy: Long sleeve tee | Jcrew factory: quilted puffer vest | Nordstrom: jeans | Jcrew: booties | Charming Charlies: necklace 

This is the outfit I wore on Thursday, which isn't a typical preschool outfit but I had to present my study later on that day so I dressed up more than I usually would. 

L.L Bean: Freeport Jacket | Lauren Conrad: Similar | Nordstrom: Jeans | Target: Nude Flats

Friday was a rough day I had aerobic class so I wore a workout outfit and had a very hectic morning and ran out of the house as fast as I could but I'll still link the outfit!

Fleece: Patagonia | Aerie: Chill leggings | Marshals: workout top (similar) | Nike: sneakers

Favorite Fall Shoes | FSJshoes

One of my favorite parts of fall is the shoes, as much as I love sandals and wedges in the summer time I equally love booties and flats if not more. FSJshoes has a ton of vintage shoes that are perfect for fall.

Orange Commuting Pointed Toe Comfortable flats | Black Comfortable Flats Suede Round Toe Shoes | Maroon Inclined Side Buckle Boots | Burgundy Suede Peep Toe Chunky Heel Slingback Boots | Khaki Chunky Heels Simple Pointed Toe Vintage Ankle Booties | Light Brown Chunky Heel Boots Peep Toe Suede Ankle Boots | Brown Straps Buckle Chunky Heels Ankle Boots | Black Vintage Boots Suede Round Toe Chunky Heels | Burgandy Suede Peep Toe Chunky Heel boots

Fsjshoes has the best shoes for fall, last year booties were so in and I have a feeling it won't be any different this year. I am loving these burgundy suede peep toe slingback boots I think the tie at the top makes them so unique. Fsjshoes also has amazing flats, like these orange commuting pointed toe flats. I love the heel which is almost a different part of the shoe. I can already picture all of the fall inspired outfits I would pair with these shoes!
