Mission Missions

Happy Monday everyone!

Just a quick note-- I'm traveling for work and all posts this week are scheduled. My apologies for not stopping by all of your lovely blogs to comment- I promise I am keeping up though!

Below is something I wore for a quick thrift shopping day in the Mission. Though we were promised a beautiful weekend, it was rather gloomy, which made getting dressed all the more difficult. I randomly threw on a cashmere skirt, random top, and leather jacket to head out the door. At least I was protected from the elements; hello wind and mist!

Jacket: Michael Kors. Top: Weston Wear. Skirt: Anthropologie. Booties: Rachel Comey. Bag: Vintage.

June Must Have's

You know, to be quite honest with you, it didn't hit me that it was June until I had to pay rent the other day. That is how busy I've been! Thankfully, June means Summer is here, and it's time for a vacation! I'm dreaming about spending my days in the sun, by the water, so a cute suit, and light layers are necessary. Of course, I wouldn't forget the SPF and a fun tote to carry it all in!

Dressed Down Sequins

Happy Thursday everyone! I'm really looking forward to the weekend. I'll be traveling to LA for work all of next week, so I'm looking forward to relaxing, and maybe catching a movie.

Below was a quick look I put together, trying to once again dress down my sequin skirt. A denim jacket, and black flats were the perfect tools to do so!

Jacket: F21. Skirt: J. Crew Collection. Necklace: Anthropologie. Bag: Vintage. Shoes: Steven by Steve Madden.

Splurge or Save: Distressed Denim Skirt

I may be a little late to the game (blame it on SF's weather, and my inability to bare legs) but I've been obsessed with the destroyed denim skirt from ACNE. Above are two other options, one by Ksubi, and one by Zara. Would you invest in this trend?

Dive-y

Whenever I throw on this jacket, I find myself building an outfit that's just a bit edgier, and just a bit more "hip" than something I would normally wear. It really comes to no surprise, but I do love the influence this jacket gives me everytime. This outfit in particular is one of Kyle's favorites. He said it's because he could see me hanging out at a dive bar in it. I'll take it as a compliment...

Jacket: All Saints. Blouse: Bella Dahl via StitchFix. Jeans: Madewell. Shoes: Zara. Hat: Pendleton.

Batik and Stripes

Saturday was such a beautiful day, I couldn't think about wearing anything other than this slouchy tank. Since the low arm-holes on the tank are a bit risky, I wanted to keep the bottom classic, with high waisted striped trousers. On top I added a scarf, to keep me a bit covered, and used that opportunity to clash patterns. I love the end result, and could easily swap out the tank for a basic tee for the office!

Tank: F21. Pants: Zara. Shoes: Charles Jourdan. Bag: Zara. Scarf: StitchFix. Belt: Vintage.

Trend-Spotting: Caring where your clothes come from.

I have a trend-spotting post that is a little different for you all today. It's about transparency. I've known about Everlane.com for a while now, but just this past week, I was able to meet and speak with the CEO about why Everlane exists. What I learned had me begin questioning where my clothing comes from. Just a note, this post is not sponsored in anyway, this is my opinion 100%.

We live in a time where fast fashions are the majority of what we buy and wear. This also means most of us don't know where our clothes come from, and who made them. Everlane exposes all of this with each product they create. You know the factory, and even better you know the cost of making each design. As of now they carry basics, that they define as something anyone would wear now, and 20 years from now. Think quality tees, silk blouses, and great travel bags. 

Why I wanted to let you guys know about this great company, is because it has me second guessing the way I shop for clothing; mainly basics. Next time I want a silk blouse, or a new belt, I'll be going to Everlane versus the nearest big retailer. I can't promise I would think this way about every purchase, especially of the moment trend pieces, but at least I know the items I plan on wearing for years to come, came from a good place, and for a fair price.
