First of all, my dress is on sale!!! Grab it while you can.

These shoes serve as a neutral for me. I wear them with almost anything, and it usually works. I envision myself wearing them throughout all four seasons, and it’s a bonus that they are so comfortable! I love the cuff detail on this dress while the white pops against the navy. This outfit is something I definitely envision myself wearing to work.

DRESSed Down

I wore this dress to a formal a couple of weeks ago with statement earrings and black heels. Instead of buying another dress that I can only wear to formal functions, I decided to purchase something that is more versatile. I can wear this dress to church with booties, out to dinner, or more casually, shown here. Although these platform sandals are no longer available, I found a few replacements.

Get to shopping!

Red Out

This outfit is a product of my time at tibi this summer. For the longest time, I couldn’t decide where to wear this and ended up wearing it to a fraternity formal this past weekend. I love that it’s different, that no one has it, and that it makes a statement. Typically when I shop, I look for pieces that are standout pieces, that can’t be found everywhere or on everyone. This combo did just that.

I Love You

I love adding a vest to almost every outfit. You can probably tell from my posts that vests occur in about every other one. I feel like a vest can pull together any outfit or dress down a dress. I styled it with a simple tee and distressed denim to make the outfit a little more special. Try adding a vest or two to your wardrobe, and you just might agree.

From Santa

First of all, guys, this is a big moment. I’m not wearing anything by Zara.

Santa surprised me with a few stellar pieces to build my wardrobe. I love the bomber trend but don’t love how the fluffy material makes me look fluffy too. This bomber from Shopbop is a thin silky material, which takes the shape of your body. And, this color is so rich that I’ll pair it with all neutrals.

The flannel booties were also under the Christmas tree. I’m OBSESSED. I first laid eyes on these beauties this summer while working for Tibi, and they made their way into my closet 6 months later. You might get sick of seeing them on me, but I won’t.

Best of 2016

2016 was a great year filled with great outfits, so I decided to share a few of my favorites.

IMG_3211

one: This outfit made the list for many reasons. First of all, this pair of Zara denim has become a favorite of mine. I can’t help but wear them all the time because they are just so comfortable. The Dolce Vita sandals have also been a staple of my spring and summer wardrobe for the last 3 years.

two: Let me tell you… If I could fill my wardrobe with dozens of Self Portrait dresses, I would, but unfortunately, I don’t have the budget for that. Each dress is incredibly unique and incorporates a variety of textures. I’m obsessed.

three: After a summer filled with all things Tibi, I couldn’t help but love the line. I also love the matching set trend and the opportunity to create new looks.

four: I love the overalls just as much as the day I shared them with you. This post also includes one of my favorite blouses and my go-to velvet sandals.

five: Well, y’all have heard me rant about my Old Navy vest enough that you probably think I wear it everyday. It seems I do, just about. It just goes with everything and can make a plain outfit a little less simple.

I can’t wait to see what 2017 holds!

The Skirt Dilemma

| sweater | skirt | choker | shoes |

Often I struggle finding the perfect top to go with a skirt. Do I need to tuck a shirt in or can it just flow? Well, this sweater is perfect for any high waisted skirt. The sweater sits right at the top of the skirt, so the details of the skirt are fully exposed. I found this cropped sweater at a Helmut Lang sample sale in New York, but I’ve found similar options for you!

PS. my skirt is on sale!!!
