Dressy

Two of my favorite things?  A comfy knit dress, and this gorgeous white barn up in Park City!!!  I have been consciously trying to incorporate long sleeve casual dresses into my wardrobe this year.  Not only are they incredibly comfortable, but they are great for so many different occasions-especially when you want to be a little dressed up without being overdone.  They are a great alternative to jeans, and of course pair perfectly back to your favorite denim jacket!  Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post to shop my favorites below…

Hope you all had a marvelous weekend!  Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

Stripes

Sometimes there is nothing better than a great stripe.  It’s a tried and true print that never goes out of style and looks great in tops, jackets, pants, shoes, even bags!  So if you don’t have any stripes in your closet, or if you have been too busy wearing florals this spring and neglecting your stripes (like me!), then it’s definitely time to revisit!  And just in time for the weekend!

Hope you all had a great week!  Here’s to a fabulous weekend!

Pink Pop

There is nothing I feel more comfortable in than a basic tee, a cute moto jacket, destroyed skinnies, and a fun pair of pumps.  I guess you could say it’s my uniform, and definitely my go-to ensemble when I don’t know what to wear (which happens way more often than you might think!).  And while I normally gravitate towards 7 for all mankind as my denim of choice, these Citizens have quickly become my current favorites!  They have the perfect amount of distressing AND they are super comfortable.  Plus, you can score them on sale here!

Stepping Out

I tend to gravitate towards the same kinds of items: button-downs, t-shirts and cardis, black leather jackets and ripped jeans-if you follow along with my blog, then you’ve probably noticed! lol  But one of the best parts of having a blog is that it forces me to take a look at my closet and make smart decisions when adding to my wardrobe.  So when I saw this shirt at Zara when I was in Seattle for business meetings last week, I knew it would be a great investment.  Not only is a silhouette that I don’t own anything similar to, but it is also a print that is completely different from anything else I own (and perfect for Spring, of course!)!  So my advice to you guys today?  Even though it is easy to buy the same kinds of things that we like to gravitate towards, it is important to push yourself outside of your comfort zone and add unique pieces to your closet that you will keep for years to come!

Pansies

I love a good floral dress-especially if it’s long-sleeved!  And Lulu’s is always a favorite place to find affordable dresses for any occasion.  So when I was on the hunt for the perfect Easter dress, their website was the first place I looked!  And while I am not sure if this is what I will wear to celebrate Easter this weekend, I do know that it is a piece that is going to get a lot of wear in my closet this Spring!

Casual Friday

I hardly ever wear flats.  Part of it is because I am short, so I feel pretty short (and stumpy!) when I’m not in heels.  But the other reason is because I have super narrow feet (and big!) feet, and I just can’t ever seem to find any that fit me properly!  But when I spotted these leopard sneakers on the clearance rack at Macy’s a few weeks ago during a work trip (my feet were aching from being in heels and on my feet all day!), I thought it might not hurt to give them a try.  And, while I can’t say I’m fully convinced that I pull them off,  I am so glad that I am least trying.  They have actually been the perfect commuter shoe when I’m working in the city, and I have even found myself gravitating towards them to run errands, or to ride my cruiser to dinner.  And as much as I love my pumps and heels, I guess it isn’t really feasible to wear them everywhere….

Thanks so much for stopping by!

 

Remix

I love a good stripe.  And even though this blazer is a few years old, it is still one of my very favorite things.  Because to be totally honest, while it’s always fun to buy new items for your wardrobe (duh!), it can be equally as fun to challenge yourself to style tried-and-true pieces in new and creative ways…

Shifty

I love a good shift dress.  It’s a great way to look polished without really putting in much thought or effort.  Because let’s face it, sometimes getting dressed can be really HARD (no matter how many clothes you have in your closet!).  So I always try to have a couple of these on hand in basic colors-a wardrobe hack, if you will.  They are super flattering on just about any body type, and pair well with boots or pumps, blazers or denim jackets, and also happen to look great paired with faux fur vests!  So if you don’t have a basic shift dress in your wardrobe, you should.  Just another one of those items that will give you a ton of outfit options without breaking the bank!

A Look Back

Happy New Year, sweet friends!  I love the anticipation and possibility that a new year brings, but I also love reflecting on another year’s end.  The good times, the bad, the lessons learned, the hurts, the joy, the laughter, the adventure, and even the fashion.  And so today, to give 2014 a proper send off on the blog, I wanted to share my favorite look from each month over the course of the last year!  Enjoy!!!
