I'm kind of obsessed to this head to toe Loft look I wore to work last week so I wanted to give you the proper details in a blog post. (p.s. if you haven't noticed, my wardrobe is slowly being taken over by Loft)

I wasn't sure about this soft chambray shirt initially because I have a ton of chambray already. After wearing it out, I am in love(maybe all of the hearts had something to do with it haha)! This is probably one of the most comfortable, put together looks I've ever worn to work. The pants are stretchy which makes them great for running around, and the fit is my favorite one that Loft has to offer. While they generally tend to have a straight fit pant, this skinny fit is fantastic because it's figure flattering and cropped so you can show off whatever shoe's you're wearing. 

Little Black Dress

Hello hello! I hope you're all doing well! This week's post is inspired by the little black dress. I actually wore this look both to work and an alumni dinner that I had last week (I got to see all of my amazing brothers from Delta Sigma Pi Rho Tau Chapter!!) Little black dresses are great for all occasions and can be dressed up and down to suit your needs. In this instance I took a sleeveless knit dress and paired it with a faux leather jacket. This jacket is light enough to wear indoors and slip under a thick coat without you having to worry about getting hot and having to carry it around halfway through the night. I love the detail in this jacket, it has a mock neck along with a geometric mesh inset (you can get a really good look at it in the first photo). I added a pair of tights to keep me warm, but I chose an opaque pair because I didn't want to be dressed in solid black from head to toe. I added some detail into this look with the accessories: I wore my cheetah print heels from H&M as well as my gold watch from bebe because the colors really pop against the black without being too overwhelming.

I hope you liked this post! Tell me all about your favorite little black dress and how you like to wear it in the comments below!!

The Minimalist: Mixing Prints

bar III blazer - similar here and here, bebe bodysuit, PacSun jeans - high waisted version here, H&M wedges - similar here

I hope you all enjoyed that little personal greeting, also I just got a new Nikon D3200 for the holidays and just had to break it in haha

For today's post I just had to show off my new bodysuit from bebe. I shared it on Instagram the other day and have been waiting to give you all a closer look. This beautiful striped satiny bodysuit is beyond comfortable, it feels like heaven in a garment against your skin. I paired it with a simple black and white blazer from bar III, black ripped jeans from PacSun, and added some fun in a contrasting pattern with my cheetah print heels from H&M. This look is simple and easy, and if you're new to mixing prints this is a great way to do so! Having a solid colored garment between the patterns breaks up a look that may feel overwhelming to some.

What are your favorite patterns to rock? Do you like mixing and matching prints? Tell me all about it in the comments below!

As always, thanks for reading!
