Seafoam Dress and Lace Biker Jacket

February 24, 2015

A couple days ago, I tore through a box of about 14 dresses I bought from ASOS (thanks to a lovely combination of a great discount code, lax return policy and a decent amount of red wine while browsing, it gets me every time!), and this was the one I was most “meh” about right out of the bag. I loved the color but it was quite sack-like on the hanger. I tried it on, threw on a skinny belt, and OMG, I love this dress! The best part is the Loeffler Randall bag I am currently borrowing has little hints of this color throughout it, so it paired beautifully.

Pleated Floral Skirt and Dark Lips OOTD

February 8, 2015

I love when I’m able to work typically spring/summer items in to an outfit in the colder months. It makes me feel like my wardrobe has doubled in possibilities!
This midi skirt was a recent find from one of my favorite online retailers, ASOS (and is currently on sale for $15!!). I felt like this look needed a bold, dark lip to balance out the airy, floral pattern of the skirt. For a little play on textures, I added these black booties with a vinyl front panel.

Which item do you find it easiest to transition throughout the changing seasons?

A Long Week of OOTDs

January 23, 2015

A couple of things I’ve noticed after uploading this series of outfit-of-the-days.. First, I’ve really been enjoying my hair in a bun! I think it looks chicer, generally, than a ponytail, and I have just NOT been liking the feeling of hair on my neck. Also, I’ve been trying to mix it up a bit with my work wardrobe. I typically wear just black or grey pants and a nicer top. Recently, I’ve found myself throwing on a skirt or dress and running with it!

This weekend, I’m headed to LA to explore the California Gift Show and LA Mart, and hopefully pick up some new pretty things. I’m excited to see one of my favorite jewelry designers, Kyle Chan from Kyle Chan Designs! I always end up picking up a piece or two from his gorgeous collection. This time around, I’m thinking about this necklace or this bracelet…. Which do you think I should go for? Or both!? 😀

A Week of OOTDs

I haven’t had as much time as I’d like this past week to take detail shots of my outfits, but I did manage to grab some quick snaps of the overall looks. My favorite was definitely the first, which I wore to my birthday brunch. Casual, comfortable, but still pulled together, and topped off with a sock bun, of course!
