Black leggings look chic no matter the season, and depending how you style them, they can work from the office to the weekend. In today’s dress form outfit post, I am showing you the five ways I styled a pair of black leggings. I purchased this pair of black leggings from Wal-Mart, probably three years ago.

I spent less than $200 for all of these pieces. So let’s get to it! My StateMint Style Finds I […]

With summer quickly approaching, I see more and more people wearing outfits where white is the prominent color. They may be wearing a white dress with a pop of color with a necklace or white pants or jeans with a colorful sleeveless top. Just this past weekend, I wrote a blog post about how to wear white this summer and featured some white outfit inspirations. So I got inspired to featured a couple of outfits on my dress form – one for day and the other for night. First up is the day outfit. I paired my white boyfriend jeans […]
