MDW: Pastels & Neutral Tones

 Blouse :: Loft

Necklace :: NY & Co.

Shorts :: NY & Co.

Flats :: Loft similar here

Clutch :: bebe gift with purchase

I hope you all enjoyed your Memorial Day Weekend! I know there were tons of great sales to take advantage of, and this look comprises some of my finds. Pastels are big this season and I was more than thrilled with this light blue blouse that I found at Loft. I already own it in black, so when I found it in this spring color I knew I had to get it. The shorts are great because they're high waisted and long enough that you're not showing off too much skin, which makes them appropriate enough for my job. A beautiful statement necklace completes the look bringing the colors together through blue hued jewels and a neutral back plate.

Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful week!!

Happy Mondayyy! As of this week I am starting a new job tomorrow and as a result I'm going to adjust my weekly postings. Instead of posting Tuesday and Friday, I'll be posting Monday and Friday as now I'll have weekends off for the most part. Anyways, on to the post!

I am currently obsessed with this sweater that I just purchased from bebe. This mixed texture sweatshirt is comfortable and lightweight which is absolutely perfect for this time of year. While we're just switching over to spring weather some days are a bit chilly so I need to stay warm but not anything all that heavy. I first fell in love with this sweater when I saw the different prints on it; the chest is covered in textured polka dots while the sleeves have this very cool zig-zag/swirl design going on. Plus it has a unique shape which they describe as "boxy" on the website. In my opinion, the different shape has brought the armpits a bit lower and wider thereby also making the sleeves a bit wider until they meet just below the elbow. It's so unique and I am in love!

As this sweater has so much detail on its own I just paired it with a dark denim, a simple silver and black belt, and these cute ankle booties with cutouts on the side. Each piece has a unique cut to it which is what brings the whole look together. I'm also wearing my favorite winter bag here which is from the Coach Poppy collection. This crossbody has a drawstring instead of a traditional zipper closure which makes it a bit more fun.

Hope you like the look! Do you have any favorite funky and unique pieces? Let me know in the comments below!
