Denim & Knits

Wishing you all a happy, and very cold, first day of spring. While we're all looking for warmer weather, it seems like winter isn't quite ready to let go bringing slight flurries to the area tonight. Regardless, spring still means it's time to start pulling out my favorite transitional pieces like this denim jacket.

You can never go wrong with a denim jacket, it's a classic piece that never goes out of style. It can be paired with anything from a t-shirt or sundress to this fishermans knit so that I can handle the lingering winter chill. To add some color, I wore a pair of olive green pants and my brown and cheetah print booties. I definitely love this transitional weather when it comes to styling, it's fun to pair different seasonal pieces, but I am so ready for spring/summer. Bring on the warmer weather!

Monday Blues

Somehow it's Monday again, and I am still desperately wishing I was back on vacation. My desire to be comfortable and relax is definitely being channeled in today's outfit. 

Some light track pants, a baggy white tee, and a denim button down paired with a statement necklace and strappy heels make for the perfect balance of comfortable and stylish.

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!

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!

Casual Day Look: Leather Wrap Watch & Printed Denim

H&M blazer - similar here, Loft tank top, Cotton On denim - similar here, Jessica Carlyle watch, BCBGeneration heels - similar here

Happy Friday!! You've all made it through the week which means the weekend is finally here and you can kick back and relax. Today's post is just a casual day look great for a simple dinner, happy hour with the girls, or (since it's got some green in it) some mid-day St. Patty's Day festivities.

The one piece that I really built this outfit around was the watch which was gifted to me for my birthday. Since it has a brown band I wanted to try to stay away from black BUT that's always next to impossible for me. Luckily I have these funky palm tree print jeans, the green goes great with brown and gold but I still get my black in the backdrop of the print. I kind of have an obsession with collecting clothes that have cool prints and any time I pass on something I deeply regret it SO of course I ended up with these. I paired the look with a deep green tank and a dark navy blazer. To keep things simple I topped the look off with some nude pumps.

As always, thanks for reading!

Dreaming of Warmer Weather: Thailand Edition

Gap denim button down, Loft camisole in Lush Teal, drop waist pants from Thailand, H&M heels - seen here

Let me start off by apologizing for being MIA. The end of holiday season is rough working in retail and I was sent to a location to help close it down which has made my schedule a bit busier. I have to say that I am beyond happy to be back and look forward to working on tons of blog posts for you guys!

As some of you may know, currently in the Northeast we're experiencing some pretty cold weather. While I'm usually just as bundled up as the rest, if not more so, I couldn't resist but to do a post about these absolutely amazing drop waist pants that my friends bought for me in Thailand. If I can't be somewhere that's warm, I can certainly day dream about it!

Seriously, how cool is this print?! I paired these funky pants with a basic blue-green camisole, and a denim button down that I tied to show off the high waist on the pants. I threw on my cheetah print wedges because why not, it never hurts to experiment with how prints look together. And since I'm dreaming of warmer weather I just had to throw on this bubble gum pink lip by Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics called "Anime".

Hope you like the look! To those of you in colder weather, stay warm! And happy new year to you all!

Thanks for reading<3
