Tribal Cropped Jacket

Happy Tuesday!!!

I hope you're all doing well and enjoyed the weekend! Today's post is all about this super cute tribal cropped jacket that I got from bebe. I had been obsessing over it for a few weeks and finally got my hands on it last Thursday. I really cannot wait to wear it out as it gets a bit warmer! The print, although technically tribal, is really sophisticated. It's definitely appropriate for a business casual day at work as well as your day to day life. It even comes with matching shorts! I cannot wait to wear this business casual suiting combo, possibly for 4th of July! In the final shot I gave you a side view of the jacket to show off some of it's details and exactly why I am so obsessed with it.

Have you recently purchased anything that you cannot stop thinking about? What about a favorite piece that you always like to wear? Let me know about it in the comments below!

Fuzzy Sweater & Ripped Jeans


Hello hello! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

I've been dying to show off this amazing fuzzy cardigan I've have for a little while, but I wasn't quite sure how I wanted to do it. I initially purchased this goody to stay warm and look put together at work while I was sick at the start of winter. Since than, this sweater has been by my side through the coldest of days. I love the trend of fuzzy sweaters because it takes something traditional and makes it more unique and interesting. (Also, on a side note, please excuse my messy room. I'm in the midst of some rearranging!)

I usually pair this piece with more fitted items like skinny jeans or leggings with a fitted top as it is so baggy, but when cinched in a top this large can really be worn with almost anything. For today's look I paired it with these white ripped jeans and to add some color I paired it with this beautifully bright neon yellow top. I love this look because it's comfortable and yet put together. I could wear this to work or even for a day around town.

What's your opinion on the fuzzy sweater look and how do you like to wear baggier pieces? Let me know in the comments below!!

Thanks for reading!!

Cheetah Print Skirt & Chambray Shirt





Hello and happy Tuesday!! Today's post is all about this cheetah print skirt I snagged at Loft this past summer. I haven't had the chance to wear it in so long with all of this cold weather, but the brief glimpse of warmer weather we had this weekend gave me some fashion inspiration.






American Eagle chambray button down, Loft skirt - similar here and here, Bar III blazer similar here and here, bebe necklace similar here and here, Forever 21 bracelet similar here and here, Jones New York hoops similar here and here, Tumi bag, Call It Spring booties - seen here

Have you ever gotten stuck in a fashion rut and just couldn't stop yourself from going to the same few pieces? Well that's been me lately, always turning to the same sweaters and everything black. Now I have nothing against all black everything, but you really can get yourself lost in the same few looks sometimes so it's nice to just take a look through your wardrobe and dig up older pieces. 

This skirt is great for making a boring work outfit a bit more fun, or even for a day out. I went with a more casual look by pairing it with this chambray shirt but if you were to switch it out with a basic button down you'd be business ready. Personally, I love the look of a statement necklace tucked underneath a collared shirt. The one I've chosen has mixed metal so you're not stuck with just gold or silver accessories, and it has rhinestone details on the gold spikes for some added bling ;) I paired it with this woven bracelet from Forever 21 because it kind of reminded me of the cheetah print pattern. The mix of black and gold really plays off the print well. To finish the look I added some funky silver hoops, a basic blazer, and this fantastic briefcase from Tumi.

What do you do when you're stuck in a fashion rut? Tell me all about your inspirations in the comments below!
