The Pearl Piece.

2018-01-16T18:53:00.003-08:00

Embellished pearl pieces have been a force to be reckoned with the past couple of months and I have been on the hunt for the perfect pearlized piece to add to my closet. Cue this beautiful Pop Julia cardigan, the perfect oversized cardi, in a neutral gray shade with just the right touch of pearls on the front, just what my wardrobe has been missing, and something I can wear ALL the time! This is such a great layer for transitioning to Spring and it's actually a little heavier weight that'll be perfect as a jacket layer once it's a bit warmer. You can shop the sweater here, and the sweetener its' under $35 price tag!

Dressing in Robes.

2018-01-10T18:12:00.000-08:00

From kimonos, to wraps, to robe coats, to just plaid robes, lightweight layers seem to be on continuous rotation, and I'll admit I'm not mad about it. As a lover of one extra layer I am pleased that a variation of these styles is always trend right for the season and for winter, satin robe styles are taking street style by storm. I scooped up this rose gold Line & Dot one at the Nest Boutique's new year's sale last week and after having my eye on it for a while was so excited to have scored the last one in the store! It is currently sold out online, but I did find the same one in a fun, metallic silver that you can shop here. They're a great lighter layer as we transition slowly into Spring, and I love the 'I woke up like this' flair they add to your favorite basics. Take a look at this outfit here, along with this one here, and you'll notice I've worn almost the same look multiple times I've just changed the type of layer I'm wearing; easy peasy updates to your favorites!

Bomb Cyclone Style.

2018-01-06T06:33:00.001-08:00

This is yesterday's SUPER casual Friday look that while pretending I was on my way to a ski lodge, actually faced the single digit temps and ran some errands. I wanted to share this Gap sweater once more while it is still in stock. I posted it on my Instagram last week and got a lot of questions about it, so it is linked here. Currently Gap is having a 40% off your purchase sale as well as free shipping so just use codes HAPPY and FREE at checkout. I'm not lying when I say I've literally worn this sweater everyday for the past two weeks, maybe not all day, but as soon as I got home from work I put it on, I did wash it one day but once it was clean, back on my body it went! It also comes in an ivory color which I'm trying to convince myself I don't need. Also, this Anthropologie beanie just went on super sale for under $12 it is linked here and comes in three colors. Stay cozy out there folks it is brutal and I hope everyone stays safe and warm during this storm.

New Year New Hair.

2018-01-04T06:06:00.000-08:00

With the New Year comes lots of changes and for many that may include a fresh hairstyle to kick things off. I too am changing up my hair for 2018, though it's actually going to be with a lack of change. I recently decided I want to grow my hair long, long, long including giving my bangs a rest and growing them out as well. With length is going to come a definite need for strengthening so I've decided to switch up my hair care products from Soapbox to their Bamboo Strength and Body collection. I want my hair to be as low maintenance as possible, meaning less styling and less haircuts but I definitely want it to be healthy, and I think these products will do just the trick. Don't forget for each Soapbox Soap product purchased a bar of soap is donated to someone in need. Just remember soap=hope, and for 10% off you new beauty routine use code newhair_kirby at checkout, valid until the end of the month!

2018-01-03T15:46:00.000-08:00

Happy Hump Day ya'll! I wore this look last week before the temperatures dropped to frigid and I think it's such a great look for any occasion in cooler months. Basically with over half of the look being all black and classic you could just continuously swap your top for a fresh outfit day or night. This Akemi + Kin blouse is back in stock in a few sizes and I think the embroidery will easily help carry it into Spring, you can shop it here. Hope your first week of 2018 is off to a great start!

2018 // New Year New You.

2018-01-01T16:29:00.001-08:00

Happy New Year y'all! 2017 flew by but I will definitely say that past couple of months whizzed by even faster, between lots going on in our personal lives, friends and family coming to town to visit and working a retail job through the holidays I swear it was just September yesterday. Andrew and I saw a lot of changes in 2017 one major change being moving literally to the other side of the country, and Asheville truly welcomed us with open arms. I think throughout the past year we realized how important new experiences are to us, even something as small as driving to a new town 20 minutes away and grabbing a cup of coffee; just a constant need to experience new places and new people, so we definitely want to be doing more of that this year. I'm not one for resolutions per se, but I am definitely one for setting goals and the fresh start of a new year seems like a solid place to start. My personal goals are just to be a better person each and every day, live through positivity and be kind to others. And, maybe stepping a little further out of my comfort zone, I think 2017 brought me the most confidence in myself, so now I feel like I should encourage myself to try new things. As for Fashion by Day, my goal for the upcoming year is just to bring you all more; you've been following a long with my outfits for such a long time and I love sharing that with you but I want to start sharing a little more about me and what I like to do, and see and eat. I'm going to be incorporating a little more lifestyle aspects into the blog and hopefully if 2018 sends it our way a little more travel. I would love to hear what you all have planned for 2018, or if there's something else you want from me and FBD so please share in the comments below! Thanks for a great year, love Kirby

NYE Beauty with Neutrogena.

2017-12-30T07:59:00.000-08:00

It's the first weekend of 2018 and I've partnered with Neutrogena to share with you my Holiday Healthy Skin Makeup look for the new year. I recreated one of Eiza Gonzalez's red carpet beauty looks for the perfect holiday look. These are all great Neutrogena products but my absolute favorites would have to be the healthy skin primer. Not only does it help with coverage it also has SPF which I love since I recently switched moisturizers to one that has no SPF in it. This primer is great for before applying your makeup or just wearing on its' own as a sunscreen. I am also a bit obsessed with this moisture smooth color stick, I'm wearing it in Fresh Papaya, and its a great subtle color but so moisturizing it'll be sure to last you til the ball drops! If you're looking to update your healthy skin routine, use code 'Healthyskin25' at checkout at Neutrogena for 25% off your purchase, the countdown begins because this code is good through January 31st. Have a Happy New Year!

Casual Christmas.

2017-12-26T16:40:00.000-08:00

Happy Holidays y'all! For those who celebrated Christmas this weekend hope you all had the merriest of days! I spent the holiday at my in-laws house and had so much fun waking up with my nieces on Christmas morning! This isn't my look from the holiday, but I did wear almost an identical outfit for Christmas Eve; picture same look with all black turtleneck. Since I scooped up this ultra fuzzy cardigan last week I can't stop wearing it, and lucky for you, it is currently on sale for half off, putting it under $75, and you can shop it here. So many crazy online sales happening what are you shopping today?!

Snow Globe Style.

2017-12-21T18:54:00.000-08:00

After getting hit with all the snow here in Asheville our little mountain town felt like being inside a snow globe for a few days. I recycled some old favorites from my closet for a winter outfit and have to say I love wearing pastels in the winter. There's something fresh and light about pale shades in the winter especially when most of us tend to wear lots of black and grays during the colder months. Since most of my pieces are older they're no longer available but I linked up some great similar styles in the side bar -->

How bout that weather? When we first moved to Asheville everyone told us we may get one good day of snow all winter, a light dusting they said, well how wrong they were that we were graced with the most beautiful two days of snowfall. I haven't experienced snow like that since I was in high school back in Ohio, and I forgot how magical it was to have a real life snow day. Not joke, work got cancelled so I really did have a snow day! In other news, on that same beautiful day Andrew's brother and sister-in-law graced us with another beautiful baby girl, Lofton Ann, and we are so happy to have her joining us for the holidays! In outfit news, this Field of Flowers coat has been my go-to layer for pretty much everything since Thanksgiving, and it sadly sold out since yesterday, however I linked it in another color here.

Black + Camel.

2017-12-06T10:45:00.003-08:00

This is a great example of outfit restyling; these are all pieces I've have in my closet that you have seen over the past couple of weeks but I've just reworked them altogether. I have always been such a fan of black and camel paired together; there is such a timelessness of the color combo and I think it has a very elegant and classic feel perfect for mixing and matching your favorite pieces. I love this Moth sweater, that comes in about 5 colors, because not only is it super soft it is a great length especially for pairing with leggings (I have to have my tush covered when wearing leggings). And this time of year a fur vest is my go to addition to almost any look, this one is a couple years old from Target but I found a super cute shearling and fur vest here that is under $20 and also comes in petite sizes. And of course let's not forget my favorite pant alternative of the season, these amazing Spanx leggings that are great for the holidays especially those parties where you may be having a couple extra desserts! :)

Give the Gift of Hope.

2017-11-30T05:52:00.003-08:00

If you haven't already I'm sure now that Thanksgiving has past most of you have started on your holiday shopping, I know I made my first push this past weekend! For those of you still putting your lists together I wanted to share a great gift idea that I'm very passionate about from Soapbox Soaps. You probably remember me mentioning them here a few months ago and what an amazing one for one brand they are. Not only are they great products but they also help those in need. For the holidays they have a handful of beauty bundles like the nourishing Coconut Bundle shown below and for each bundle they donate 5 bars of soap to those who need it. It's a great gift for anyone on your list and is priced at 29.95 but with code 'bestgift17kirbymorris' you can save an additional 10% off. Happy Holidays and happy shopping everyone!

The holiday season is in full swing and looking at my calendar for the next few weeks, it is going to fly by because we have such a busy and exciting schedule. Andrew snapped these photos over the weekend when we showed up at the mall to do a little holiday shopping and realized we arrived an hour before it opened, whoops! I'm wearing a lot of pieces I've had in my closet for some time now, but added a fun little cap from Anthropologie to modernize the look and make these staples feel fresh. I bought this hat right before Thanksgiving and have literally worn it all but two days since, I may be a little obsessed and if you're on board with the trend you can shop it and similar styles here.

Thanksgiving Eve.

2017-11-22T07:28:00.001-08:00

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year and I really can't believe it's already tomorrow! This is the first year in a very long time where Andrew and I will be spending the holiday season with his family rather than mine and I'm very excited to see what new traditions it brings. We are starting tomorrow morning watching our little nieces run in the Turkey Trot so I'll probably be wrapped up in these cozy pieces. Cracker Barrel treated me with the perfect little cold weather kit that includes some great pieces to pick up for yourself or as a gift; linked all my goodies below. Hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving, I'm very thankful for your endless support over the years and thankful for all the amazing opportunities this blog has given me. It really is the most wonderful time of year, cheers to you all! xx Kirby

You guys! I can't believe it's Thanksgiving week already, November is just flying by! This is my first year blogging in a climate where it is actually cold and has real seasonal change so I'm honestly finding it very hard to shoot my looks to share with you all! I'm going to try to keep up with about two a week or I'll need to start getting really creative with just sharing outerwear! This outfit is from the middle of last week and is an eclectic mix of so many of my favorite things. The top alone combines stripes, floral print and embroidery and I still paired the outfit with some faux fur and a touch of snakeskin. For me it works because aside from the bold flowers, everything in this look is very neutral so the texture is needed to keep it exciting! This blouse would also be a great piece for Thanksgiving dinner if you're still looking for a last minute outfit!

The Best Legging.

2017-11-12T17:40:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone! I've been sick with a cold for a couple of days but wanted to share this look from last week that I styled with some new goodies I scooped up at the Nest Boutique in Biltmore Village. I tagged these Spanx leggings a few weeks ago, but finally jumped on board in buying a pair, and I couldn't be happier with that decision! I chose the moto design because it gives you a little more coverage on the leg and leggings as pants is sort of new for me, but they feel amazing and are super comfortable. I paired them with this sherpa lined Z Supply sweater also from the Nest and it is seriously the coziest layer ever! This is the perfect cozy look for battling a winter cold!

It's a Denim Thing.

2017-11-09T07:16:00.003-08:00

How's it going everyone?! You've probably all learned whether you've been following along for years or are pretty new to Fashion by Day, that I love jeans. I truly am a denim girl, and can happily wears jeans everyday of the week. For me fit is obviously a major factor but comfort is definitely key! I was recently given a couple pairs of Crafted by Lee jeans like the slim straight's I'm wearing here, and I have to say I'm loving them. The ones I'm wearing with the patch pocket are part of the upcoming collection but I found almost identical ones here, and they're currently on sale for under $25. Even full price their styles are still sitting comfortably under $40 which is pretty amazing for a quality, comfortable pair of jeans. If you're in the market for a new pair of jeans I suggest heading to Target and trying a few pairs out!

Icy Hues.

2017-11-06T18:14:00.000-08:00

We all know I'm a big fan of winter whites, but I am now I'm jumping on as a fan of icy hues and cool pastels in the colder months. I am so in love with this cozy, Aerie sweatshirt it comes in about 4 different colors and is currently on sale for about $16, you can shop it here. I felt this look catered best to Fall fashion by styling the lighter colors with contrasting black accessories. How do you feel about pastels for Fall?

The temperature dropped drastically around here this week, seriously there was some snow stuck on the ground Sunday, and all I want to do is bundle up in my coziest pieces over and over again! With that in mind I restyled this sweater from last week and this dress because they are two of my current favorite pieces for Fall and clearly so versatile. I added a belt at the waist and tucked in just the front of my sweater so it gave off the illusion of a skirt and top! Stay cozy friends :)

Checking out the view of downtown Asheville in one of my favorite oldie but goodie sweaters I pulled out of storage from Forever 21. This look is something you've probably seen very similarly from me over the years and you have definitely seen these pieces maybe together as well. To update an otherwise basic, classic look I opted for this nude oxford by Free People to give it an modern edge for a slightly more trend right Fall look - these shoes are sold out but I found an almost identical pair here for under $40.

You can take the girl out of the Southwest but you can't take the Southwest out of the girl! I think after spending so much time living in Southern California I will always have a bohemian influence and southwestern vibe to my style, whether boho chic is currently 'trending' or not I will always be a fan of the texture, patterns and easy breezy silhouettes. This BB Dakota jacket is a couple years old, you may remember it from here, but it's one of my favorite pieces for the Fall transition. It pairs so well layered over dresses like, with chunky sweaters and leggings or hanging open with your favorite denim. In the side bar --> I've linked some of my favorite blanket jackets and scarves to get you through the season!

Happy Monday everyone! Sorry for the lack of posts the past week, I have been busy busy on the go, but I have some great looks to share with you this week! Starting with this outfit from the end of the week; it brings me great satisfaction to breathe new life into something that has been sitting in my closet for a long time. I have had this Old Navy skirt for years you've seen it here, and it's a piece I never want to get rid of though don't find myself wearing very often. I really wanted to restyle this sweater from a couple weeks ago (here) with a skirt the to give it some versatility and felt it was the perfect match with this modern pencil skirt. Creating a street style look with a twist, I felt this look worked better a little more playfully styled, so I opted for a funky oxford instead of a classic bootie as I felt that would make it too serious. Don't take yourselves too seriously today, enjoy your Monday!

Living FashionABLY.

2017-10-18T11:15:00.000-07:00

A couple of months ago I discovered the brand FASHIONABLE and was immediately drawn to their high quality leather goods and their unique and minimalist jewelry. What I didn't realize was, that was just the tipping point to a truly amazing brand. You all know I am always in such high support of fashion for good brands, and FASHIONABLE is doing so much good both locally and globally. A brand that strives to provide employment mainly to women who have overcome major struggles in their lives and are looking for an opportunity to succeed. These women make the most beautiful pieces and I have added some essential staples to my closet for the Fall season. This look is one I'll probably be wearing on repeat or in some variation all season long, and when you have a handbag as beautiful as this Albera Crossbody you'll never be in the need to swap it out. Of all the ways I have been blown away by the FASHIONABLE brand I was honestly most surprised by how amazing their denim fit. I've been in the market for some fresh jeans for a few months now and seem to continuously find ones that are too stretchy, or if the fabric is nice not the rise I am comfortable with. These are the High Rise in Lorena and I love just how high these sit at my waist and the little raw hem makes them the perfect length for pairing with both the Tatiana Loafer and ankle boots alike throughout this season. These jeans have some give but really feel more like a true denim; I have worn them three times in the past week and they have not stretched out at all, which I am super excited about! I want you to be excited too so if you have some free time please check out FASHIONABLE, they're such an amazing brand and I think you'll enjoy them as much as I do!

Little Polka Dot Dress.

2017-10-16T05:28:00.002-07:00

Can not seem to be able to get enough polka dots this season and when I saw this Old Navy Dress on sale for $15 two weeks ago I just had to scoop it up! It is currently on sale for about $21 because everything on their website is 30% off and it comes in seven colors though I'll admit, the polka dots is my favorite. I opted for a semi casual look that I feel can translate from a lot of different occasions by layering with this lightweight cardigan and a go-to ankle boot. I felt the dress was just a little long on me, making my legs look a little stumpy so I knotted one side so you could see more of my legs to help elongate. Would also be a great dress silhouette to belt if you were more comfortable with styling it that way. This is a great look to start off your weekend cause it's probably items you already have in your closet!

Global Handwashing Day with Soapbox.

2017-10-13T06:08:00.000-07:00

Happy Friday everyone! I've teamed up with Soapbox in honor of Global Handwashing Day, which is coming up on October 15th, to share the importance of proper handwashing. It may be something we take for granted or don't think about everyday, but we can stop the spreading of major infectious diseases but properly washing our hands, and why not do that with some of the loveliest Soapbox soaps?! Not only do they offer some fabulous scented soaps like the Vanilla & Lily Blossom, or Citrus & Peach Rose, they are also completely vegan, cruelty free and made with the best ingredients AND they are a rad one for one brand that for every soap purchased they donate a bar of soap to someone in need. For being such beautifully made products they are also surprisingly affordable and would also make for a great holiday gift, gifting someone who is then even gifting someone else, because who doesn't love some great hand soap?! You can shop their products at 10% off with code GHD17kirbymorris and help spread their message that Soap=Hope, happy handwashing!
