I had an event at work today so I wanted to look professional and not too trendy. I chose my beloved J. Crew No. 2 pencil skirt and paired it with an item in my closet that has been ignored for the past year: my black blazer. I don't know why I don't wear it more often because it really is a lovely piece. After wearing it today, I'm ...
Outfits
Casual Cool
I get a lot of requests to share my more casual outfits---outfits I wear to shop, run errands or on casual Friday. I wore this outfit on Friday. Very simple and oh-so-comfortable. I was thrilled to wear my cognac boots for the second time this winter. It just hasn't been cold enough here to wear them more often. I do recommend investing in a ...
Going Faux (Fur)
Today was a more casual day where I knew I wouldn't be leaving the office so I tried to be a little more relaxed by wearing a simple cotton henley and a vest with faux fur...and I threw in a polka-dot skirt into the mix...you know, just for fun! I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who left comments and tips about my new lens---I'm going to ...
Out of Focus
I took these photos with my new "nifty fifty" lens and I am very displeased with how they turned out as I am obviously doing something wrong...but I thought what the heck and I'm sharing today's outfit anyway... See how fuzzy they are? The color had to be significantly adjusted too! If you have this lens and have any tips, please leave them in the ...
Black & White Gingham
J. Crew's Perfect Shirt in gingham is becoming one of my favorite items in my closet. For starters, it's incredibly versatile and the fit is flattering (I ordered a 2 tall to get the extra length and I'm so pleased with how it's tailored). But, before I get ahead of myself, I just had to share my latest aquisition. This pretty, ballet slipper ...
Scalloped Edges
I bought this top months ago and haven't worn it until now. It's actually a pretty long tunic, but on me, way too short to be a dress. I loved the cutouts on this top---but what sold me were its scalloped edges. I typically wear what I buy immediately (within a week or so) but for some reason, this top rested in my closet for quite some ...
Blushing Lace
This weekend, Candice and I had a belated Christmas gift exchange and one of the gifts she gave me this gorgeous soft pink lacey top from Aritzia (the brand is Talula). She got it when she was visiting her family in Canada (that's definitely one store I miss!) I paired it with my new J.Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt that I got on mega-sale in ...
Dressing in Dots
In my last haul video, I talked about a silk dress I scored at J.Crew for $53 (it was originally $168). Pleased with my incredible savings, I finally wore it today. Dress- J.Crew Cardigan- Express Scarf- Forever21 Tights- Target Boots- Jessica Simpson Jacket- BR Bag- Tory Burch Reva Clutch Polka-dots again? Well color me ...
In the Navy
I was all excited this morning to wear my new bird-print top. I had the perfect outfit planned and paired it with navy diamond-patterened tights and my navy blue lace skirt from Zara. Later this afternoon, in a meeting room full of delightfully flourescent lights, I noticed that my lovely bird blouse was not in fact navy, but black. Though my ...
OOTD: Singin’ in the Rain
Ever since I got my Hunter rainboots for our trip to Paris/London last Christmas, I've been itching for a chance to wear them again back home, in the land of summer droughts. When I heard that Thursday's forecast called for rain, I didn't think twice before slipping on the glossy black boots I longed for: Jacket- ...
