Lady Rock

Happy Monday everyone! I'm pretty excited to be posting an outfit post right now, considering last week was pretty bare! Life is still pretty busy, but I will try my best to post at least one outfit a week! If you all want to stay more updated, follow me on instagram @postgradchic

Below is an outfit I wore last week to work. I got a lot of compliments, and comments on how I looked super "rock n' roll" in this look. I liked the thought of that ;)

Jacket: All Saints. Sweater: Madewell. Shirt: Unknown. Jeans: J Brand. Shoes: Pied Juste. Necklace: via Stitch Fix. Bag: Cambridge Satchel Co.

The Formula

I've come to realize, that when I want a simple, and streamlined look, I always turn to a silk oversized blouse, and dark, sometimes coated, jeans. I always play with colors, and accessories, but the foundation is there, and I've found it to be my personal fail-proof look. With a simple swap of shoes and accessories, it's great for work, a date night, a casual weekend day, etc. Do you have an outfit formula you always go to? I'd love to know!

Blouse: Equipment. Jeans: J Brand. Shoes: Pied Juste. Scarf: World Market. Clutch: Anthropologie.

Blown Away

One of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to blogging is taking pictures when it's windy out. Everything, especially my hair, comes off as disheveled and unkempt. What's worse is that you can see my annoyance on my face. This time though, I wanted to take advantage of the wind to show the movement of layers I've incorporated into this look. I still love the look of a trench coat layered under a leather jacket, and this color combo was new take on something I've been wearing over and over again.

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!

Jacket: J Brand. Dress worn as shirt: Banana Republic. Jeans: J Brand. Shoes: Zara. Sunglasses: Ray-Ban.

Dreaming of this look for Spring...

Puffy Vest

I've never been a fan of "puffy outerwear". I've always thought it looked cheap, and a little tacky, even though I know it's quite functional. Well ladies (and perhaps gentlemen?), after this terribly cold Winter we had, I finally gave in. And after figuring out how to make this puffy, shiny, piece of clothing look cool, I figured it's about time to throw it up on the blog. Maybe it will inspire you all to give into some functional outerwear? Kyle did say this was his favorite look of mine so far...

Jacket: J Brand. Vest: Uniqlo (men's). Sweater: Unknown. Jeans: Zara. Shoes: Pour La Victoire. Beanie: Kyle's.

I also wanted to share this little gif with you all. Even after a couple of years of having Kyle take my pictures out in the open, when there are people walking by, I get awkward. This isn't even the worst of it!

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.

Jacket: J Brand. Tee: Hanes. Trousers: H&M. Shoes: Zara.

Aztec

As you may have seen from last week's Trend-Spotting post, I've really been into the aztec print that has been everywhere. This time I decided to incorporate it into my outfit with a statement skirt, which you also know I've been loving. Next time I'll do a sweater/skirt combo with this, but for now I decided to toughen it up with a coated denim jacket, and slate booties. 

Hope you all had a happy Monday!

Abstract

Happy Monday! After a bit of rain, the sun is back, so I decided to throw on anything that made me feel good this past weekend. This is what I ended up with, and the tough meets girly thing going on is a look I like!

Texturize

I think Fall is the perfect season to play with different textures, which is exactly what I did here. Breezy pieces, layered under sturdier outerwear is a no brainer, but don't be afraid to play with fun accessories too! This weather is the perfect opportunity to play with some wild patterned tights!
