    Friday’s Five

    Marble Cat Eye Sunglasses // Marble Watch // Marble Leggings //  White Marble iPhone Case // S’well Marble Water Bottle

    Welcome to the first edition of “Friday’s Five.” I wanted to share with you some items I am currently loving. Ever since I bought my marble iPhone case, I have been obsessing over anything “marbled.” This includes fashion, jewelry, accessories, and even home decor. I think it is so classy and timeless.

    I am so ready for the weekend! I have some girl friends from college coming in town as well as my best friend since sixth grade for my 10 year high school reunion! This weekend will be a busy one with friends as well as packing for the big move.

    Thank you for reading! I hope all of you have an awesome weekend!

    Happy first day of fall! I don’t care what ANYONE says – I will be wearing off-the-shoulder tops into the fall season. Here in Kansas City the highs have been in the mid nineties this week, so even though today is the first day of fall, it doesn’t feel like it.

    I picked up this cute little off the shoulder top at Forever 21 this weekend for $16. I love it for a couple different reasons (other than the fact that it is off-the-shoulder). First, it is silky so it is super feminine.  Second, it has adjustable straps, which I love because I am six feet tall and I will take extra length anywhere I can get it! I bought the champagne color, but it also comes in a ‘light rose’ color that I absolutely adore!

    I bought these jeans at the Nordstrom sale, but I just saw that they are on sale again! These jeans are totally worth the money. They fit so well – they are like a second skin. I can’t wait to wear these with some boots once the weather cools off!

    I wore this outfit to dinner with some friends and had a blast catching up! I hope you all are having a great week!

    And So The Adventure Begins!

    Minted  in the Midwest was started as a creative outlet for my love of all things fashion. I am constantly being asked by friends and family to help shop and style for events and even to shop in my closet! I pride myself on being able to find amazing bargains on clothes, shoes, bags, and more while splurging every once in a while on staple items.

    For a long time I have followed many fashion bloggers out there which inspired me to take on the challenge to start one of my own! I work full time as a health professional at a local hospital Kansas City. In my spare time I embrace my foodie spirit, drink wine, watch trashy tv shows, and spend time with my friends and family. I live in Kansas City, Missouri with my boyfriend of almost a year and a half, Nate. We just bought a house and will be moving to Kansas in a few short weeks! I also have a fur baby, Lucy. She is a “Cavachon” which means she is part Cavalier King Charles Spaniel mixed with Bichon Frise. I got her when I was a senior in College which makes her almost 7! (Man that makes me feel old).

    For those of you that aren’t familiar with the Midwest, the weather here can change drastically from day to day. We truly experience all four seasons which makes for a diverse closet! My mission for Minted in the Midwest is to help give women a guide to fashion and make it easier to put outfits together and shop, especially online.  I believe that fashion should be fun and help a woman feel beautiful in her skin. So pour yourself a glass of wine, sit back, relax and enjoy!
