Get ideas, see what is in trend, how to put looks together, and where the good places to shop are if you are on a budget. It will inspire your creative side while showing you a little slice of my life. Check back for weekly updates! 
Just because you have a lounge day doesn’t mean you always have to reach for the sweat pants. Trust me, some days I am guilty as charged… but it’s nice to mix it up a little. Instead of instinctively reaching for the sweat pants, try putting on a pair of jeans with some stretch in them for comfort. but if you decide to run some errands, you are comfortable and ready to go!

Maxx $19.99, Silk Bandana – Grandmother’s, Aviators – Marc by Marc Jacobs – gifted, Beaded Sandals – Dillards (Old) If you’re wearing a see through top, layer it with bright colored tank.

I went to a t-shirt shop by the beach and found this beautiful flowy boho dress for $29.99 that ties all different ways.

Not only do they make a great statement, but they are sooo comfortable. They are so easy to dress up or down depending on the top you pair with them. I decided to go with a more sophisticated look by adding my signature blazer. Flowy Printed Pants – Target $24.99, Black and Purple Tank Tops – Forever 21 $5.99, Blazer – H&M (as seen before), Studded Flats – Burlington Coat Factory $9.99 If you like the flowy pant look, you can also dress them down with a nice fitted t- shirt for knockin around. Remember, if the bottoms are flowy, always wear something fitted on top or you will end up looking like a potato sack…and vice versa :) The studs give the flats that little something extra without going overboard. I found this gem of a dress at Red Racks thrift store. I wanted to showcase it because I paid $4.95 for it. This really goes to show that you do not have to pay a lot of money to dress fabulous. Not only was it practically free, but the likelihood of another gal showing up in this same vintage piece is slim to none. check out the dress section at your local thrift store. You would be surprised at the amazing things you can find. If you strike out, go to the sale sections of your favorite stores first. Most of the time you can find pieces on sale that are just as great as the regular priced clothing. If it wasn’t for Maddie’s coat and my leggings, we probably would have froze. :) I just chose a simple button down and cardigan. It’s so comfortable but still funky and fun! Cardigan – Name Brand Clothing $7.99, Over sized Button-down – Old Navy Sale $9.99 (Old), Printed Leggings – Forever 21 $9.99, Booties – Nordstrom Rack (seen before), Sunglasses – Big Lots $4.99, Fedora – Urban Outfitters Sale $4.99 If you can’t make up your mind about which earrings to wear, wear them both! I used the black and white pair as an accent. Jujoustyle is back with bright and sunny colors for spring! The long awaited sun is finally coming out in Kansas City. You can’t be in a bad mood if you’re wearing orange and yellow. It forces happiness! I fell in love with this bright orange retro print sweater that I found on the clearance rack at forever 21. It practically jumped off the rack and into my arms. It screamed Lindsey! Since we are still having some chilly wind with sunny weather, I like to mix bright colors with warmer clothing. I am cold blooded, take that as you may… So, I like to stay warm until summer hits. It’s a good way to dress when the weather can’t make up it’s mind. Retro sweater – Forever 21 clearance $10.99, Mustard jeans – (Jessica Simpson) Dillard’s Clearance Sale $19.99, Suede Booties – Dillard’s Clearance Sale $29.99, Gold Diamond Shaped Earrings – Forever 21 $3.99, Orange Floating Lens Sunglasses (Marc by Marc) Nordstom’s Sale $35, Maddie’s retro print leash – Big Lots $5 Another color that goes great with mustard and orange is navy. If it were colder outside, I would throw a navy blazer over the sweater to complete the look. It would also give it more of that masculine chic look that I love so much. Since the weather has been so nice these past few days, Maddie and I have tried to be outside as much as possible. With all of the exploring we do, it takes a lot of walking. You may have noticed by now I really never wear heels. I’m just not that kind of gal. As big of a deal as fashion is to me, it still has to be comfortable. Maddie and I are only confident when we feel comfortable…therefore, we wear flats. It hardly seems like a shelter. It felt more like condos for the animals. Titus and I bonding Brie talks about BB Cream and why it’s a great investment!
Throw on a loose button down and layer one of your comfy long sleeves over it. You might be eating Ben and Jerry’s on the sofa,
Maddie loves her butt scratches as much as I love my clothing.
Almost everything worn is thrifted AND brand new with the tags still on them. Thrift stores are wonderful places to find your treasures.
Comfort is important, but always bring a little edge to your style.
Who says you can’t wear hobo hats in the summer? Cross through that rule!
Mixing silver and gold is a good thing. It’s an outdated rule…just like you can’t wear white after labor day. Ridiculous!
Aztec prints have become a dominant theme in fashion runways all around the world.
If money is no object, you can pick up a great pair of printed leggings at Free People or Top Shop.
Look Maddie!
You’re such a good girl. I love you.
Our life is pretty peachy right now.
I am obsessed with the zig zag print. The pattern has so much to offer. It’s super funky without taking over.
Stay Maddie
Teal is the ultimate color. It looks good on every skin tone…even when you’re pale like me. :)
Ohmygosh Maddie don’t eat that!
When wearing pastels, a nude shoe always works
Each bracelet I’m wearing is from a different store. I typically don’t buy bracelets in sets because it’s not as personal.
If you are long and tall, long dresses with prints look fabulous. For ladies who are a little shorter, long maxi dresses are wonderful in solid colors.
As beautiful as it is here, I miss my four legged other half.
It’s very liberating to let the hair go and 86 the makeup. Natural beauty is very much overlooked.
Bright colors and bold prints are so huge for this summer! Bright yellows and oranges will be hot for this season.
It was a very chilly and foggy day! Maddie and I normally enjoy sunshine but the thick fog made for some interesting shots.
Maddie decided to give you her rear. :)
It started sprinkling so Maddie and I grabbed an umbrella.
We thought Union Station would be a fun place to hang out for the day.
You do NOT have to spend a lot of money for cute shoes. I love my studded flat because they go with almost anything.
Mad and I manage to have fun anywhere we go…but we always stay stylish while we do it. Until next week…xoxo

Maddie and I trotted around downtown and got a bite to eat at La Bodega.
If you have an event where it is important to dress up, don’t get discouraged about spending a fortune. You don’t have to! Before you drop your weekly paycheck at Nordstrom,
If you are wearing a dress to an event but the weather isn’t exactly warm, leggings are a great solution! They really help to keep you warm and don’t take away from the dress. It was pretty chilly that day.
Watch for jujoustyle on Channel 41 April 19th around 1:30. I will be talking more about thrift store tips!
You will being seeing a lot of black and white with a pop of color this spring. The great thing about black and white is that you can use any bright color under the sun as an accent.
When you wear leggings, find a top that covers your bum. I don’t care how cute your booty is. There is nothing worse than leggings with with a short top. It’s isn’t flattering. :)
I love this look because it is great for any body type, comfortable, and funky. Make sure when you wear busy leggings like these, wear a simple top to balance it.
Like many girls do, I love bangles. Have fun with it! Mix and Match. If you have a watch that you love, build around it.
Embrace bright colors because they are here to stay! Maddie and I are going to go enjoy the weather. ;)
I can’t help myself. I love glitter. I especially love the glitter suede combo. Dress them up or down. They are perfect with almost any look.
Maddie and I visited in the new SPCA facility. We were looking for a playmate for Maddie. It’s beautiful! I was so happy that the animals are kept in such an amazing place.
I fell in love love with Titus, the Pomeranian. Besides Maddie, he was the cutest dog I had ever seen. The problem was, everyone else wanted him too. I know that may sound crazy, but I knew he was going to get adopted within the next few days. It was a hard decision, but if I’m going to adopt, it has to be a pup that no one else wants. Maddie was rescued from a kill shelter where she did not have much time left. If I adopt again, it has to be for a dog that would not have gotten a home unless Mad and I adopted it.

There are so many dogs that need homes. PLEASE do not purchase your animal from a breeder. There are too many that needs homes. If you are insistent on full breed dog, there are plenty of them at the shelter as well. It may take a little more research to find the breed you want, but you are saving a life. Petfinder.com is a great place to search for specific breeds.
The SPCA employees are wonderful people. They are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the animals.
