Office Poncho

Lately, I've been finding myself very cold and uncomfortable in the office, and if any of you have tried working on a computer with your jacket and scarf on, you know that it's quite inconvenient. I've been thinking about taking a blanket with me to work, but carrying that on the bus would be odd.

When I was at Target this past weekend, all problems were solved as my eyes fell upon this poncho. Warm, neutral, yet in a fun pattern, and cut so my arms could move freely... and I thought the vacuum I bought was the best purchase of that trip...

The Spring Trench Coat

I've been wanting a light weight, navy, vintage style trench coat to add to my wardrobe ever since I saw Kristen Dunst wearing this outfit. She looked so chic wearing it as a dress, and I was so inspired. I finally found the perfect one for me, and I'm so glad to say it's vintage, too! Nothing beats a true classic! While I didn't style it as a dress, like Kristen Dunst, this time around, it's still the perfect layer to throw over a striped tee and jeans, with some fun heels. I felt very parisian ;)

It's A Prep Thing

Sometimes, I think my sense of style evolves as frequently as presence of fog in SF, but I think that stands true for most people, which is why personal style is so beautiful and intimate for everyone. Previously, I would have looked to flowy dresses or skirts when the opportunity of baring some leg came up, but now I am way more appreciative of fit and structure, and find it more relative to me. The look below is layered, structured, and preppy, which my thing, currently.

Incognito

If I were a famous person hiding from paparazzi this would probably be the kind of outfit I would do it in. This big floppy hat does a great job at hiding my face. Actually on second thought, I could barely see where I was going with this thing on, so maybe it's not the best idea...! Have a great weekend!

Haphazard

Happy Monday everyone! Hope your weekends were lovely!

So... this outfit came together in a moment of frustration with my closet. I know you've all been there; the " I have nothing to wear!" moment. So I just started pulling random items and this is the end result. I have to say that I honestly love this look. Its a bunch of trends and influences happening at once (grunge, print mixing, printed pants, metallics, contrast sleeves, etc), but I feel that this is unique to me and just so easy. In college, when it came to writing papers, the saying went "my best work is done under pressure" and that's what happened here I think. I hope you like it!

Mix It Up!

Happy, happy Thursday! I think Thursdays are my favorite day; it means I've survived the hump (Wednesday) and the weekend begins in a mere 24 hours!

Speaking of favorites, this outfit may just be a new favorite of mine. Sometimes inspiration gives you a crazy idea, and you just have to go with it. I was at Zara, looking for a quick lunch break fix, and I pretty much walked out with this outfit. The inspiration came from these trousers. The fit, color, and stripes are just so perfect for this season. When I came home I decided to get really nautical with it and clash the pants with some stripes on top. To keep the look from being too busy, I grounded it with a short sleeve denim top. For some glamourous elements, I threw on a fun necklace, and metallic pumps. And finally to keep myself warm, because I wore this on a drizzly day, my trusty cocoon coat was the perfect topper. I love the mix of patterns, colors, textures, and silhouettes with this look, and I hope you do too!

Hint of Summer

The top I'm wearing in this outfit is a favorite of mine. The bright print, flirty peplum, and open back (covered by the coat) just read summertime to me. Whenever I throw it on, it puts me in a better mood, so I decided to make it work with my trusty heavy coat, and polka dot heels for some warmth and fun pattern play.
