Look for Less: Pottery Barn 'Banks' Pedestal Dining Table

Pottery Barn lookalike dining table at Home Depot?!
Well guys, I finally did it! I ordered a dining table from - of all places - Home Depot! I knew I wanted a solid wood table that could seat 10 for under $1,000. And after months (years?!) of searching, I found a dining table that I absolutely LOVE that fits all my criteria, too. The table I chose is the Home Decorator's Collection Aldridge Extendable Dining Table, which is currently on sale for $899 (was $1,499) at homedepot.com.

This look may not be the most exciting, but it will definitely be the most worn during quarantine! Some days call for all black (or close to it) and Dakota proves dark colors are a stylish option.

Look for Less: T-Shirt Dress and Golden Goose Dupes

Look for less featuring stripe t-shirt dress and Golden Goose sneaker dupes!
I decided to get back to my roots today with a complete "Look for Less" outfit! Nothing says spring like a classic t-shirt dress, denim jacket and white sneakers. Golden Goose is so popular right now, and these star sneakers are an awesome dupe! Finish the look with some oversized shades - I own both versions of the sunglasses and love them both! I found the designer pair discounted on ThredUp last summer. This is just such an easy yet cute look to toss on when you feel like taking a break from sweats!



Olivia Wilde's Social Distancing Look for Less

Olivia Wilde's social distancing look - so comfy and cute
Olivia Wilde shows good social distancing skills while on a walk, wearing a face mask and maintaining a safe distance from others. The actress is also a good example of how to dress these days with a look that's made for lounging and staying active, too. Pair a v-neck tank top (I own this one in two colors; fits true to size) with a fresh pair of sweatpants (Target has so many good options) then add a pop of personality with some fun slip-on sneakers - these graphic black-and-white checkered Vans are so fun and under $50!



Look for Less: Pottery Barn Recycled Glass Vase

Recycled glass vase look for less
With the changing seasons, now is the perfect time to bring a little greenery into your homes. And what better place to house a plant stem or two (faux or real) than in an eye-catching recycled glass vase? I love the subtle hint of blue and the beautiful organic shape. Place one on a wood dining table (this one is the current front-runner in my search for a table) with a neutral table runner for a simple yet stunning spring centerpiece.
