Back To Basics

When it comes to wearing the very, very basic pieces in your closet, you have to make sure it fits. A tee and jeans can go from chic to frumpy if the fit is off. Below I am wearing a tee and jeans that I accessorized with a necklace, belt, and heels. This is something I would wear to the office on Friday, so it can easily transition to happy hour and beyond! It's so simple, but I think still very fashionable.

Jorts

Last week we experienced an unbelievably beautiful forecast, so I was really excited to expose my legs consistently. This look, especially the shorts in particular, were highly experimental for me. I was inspired by this pin, and decided to do a late night DIY project which resulted in this. It's not something I would have worn prior to this pin, but it's something I can warm up to. What do you think?

Easy Breezy

Quick post today guys! I love dressing down more complex pieces, like this splattered and waxed pair of trousers, with a basic tee. I decided to play with the waxed effect up top with my go-to denim jacket. A little messy, but perfectly worn in.

Stripes and Sequins

I haven't shown this sequined skirt much love lately, which is unfortunate because I love it. If there was a fire I would save this, my cat, and my camera... and a bunch of other things. I think it mainly has to do with that fact that I didn't really know how to Winter-ize it, but silly me because this outfit makes it look so easy! Simple layers, and I mean layers, in neutral tones really let the opulence of this skirt stand out, which is the best part about the damned thing!

Rich Tones

I've been wearing so many neutral colors lately, I decided to brighten up my wardrobe palette with this look. Burgundy and camel is a combination I really like, so I decided to just pile it on.

Inspired

For those of you just tuning in, I was really inspired by this particular look from NYFW, so here is my version of it. Of course, there was no way I could fit any of my wool coats under my moto jacket, so I went for my trench coat. I really like the final result, even though with the hat it may have been a little too Indiana Jones, as a few co-workers may have mentioned ;)

Plaid Pants

Another result of my New Year's Resolution, I wore a pair of pants I haven't pulled out of my closet in a long time. While I love the fit, I feel like the plaid is too Christmasy. I decided to keep everything else neutral and streamlined to help keep the "holiday" feel out of the outfit. I still don't know how I feel about the pants, or the outfit in general. What do you guys think?

Peplum Prep

I don't know how I thought of the idea of layering an oxford under a peplum top, but I love the final result. It's very preppy, and a little out of my normal comfort zone, but I think it's still an edgy twist I always love to incorporate. I threw on my favorite patterned coat over the whole look to soften it up a bit, and a statement collar necklace for a dash of glam. I hope you like!

Bird

Every chance I get to wear this skirt, I take it. The bright colors, and print, are quintessentially warm weather, so when we saw a bit of a heat wave this week, I broke it out!

I hope everyone's week has been great so far!
