TASSEL

Zara Baby Doll Dress (also in red here), J.Crew Falsetto Pumps, Forever 21 necklaces, Vintage Clutch + Watch, Essie Nail Polish in "Bikini So Teeny" 

I wore this outfit to my mom's birthday brunch. I love the little tassels on these J.Crew shoes. I purchased these soon after I purchased the strappy mirrored metallic pumps from J.Crew. I found that their shoes are very comfortable. I would order a half size up. Can you believe these necklaces are from forever 21? I layered three of their necklaces. I love going there for trendy jewelry. I hate spending a lot of money on anything trendy. These three necklaces were $16 total!

SCALLOPED

Asos shirt with dramatic ruffle (similar in black), J.Crew matchstick jeans (similar coated version), Nine West x Instyle heels, Asos satchel bag with scallop bar detail (available in cream here), Madewell bracelet, vintage hoops + watch, Revlon lipstick in "Fuchsia" 

I love this bag from Asos. It's large enough for me to use for work and fit in my large collection of pens, highlighters, post-its, etc. (I love office supplies). I wore this outfit earlier in the day when it was still warm but threw on a sweater and my Gap ombre moto jacket (last seen here) when it started to rain and get colder. I think it's safe to say these snakeskin pumps have become a staple in my closet. 

BABY BLUE + HENRIETTA

Zara cropped top,  Zara faux leather tube skirt, Nine West x Instyle Gamin Heels, Asos spiked hoop earrings (similar here), Madewell bracelet, vintage watch + clutch, Revlon nail polish in "Siren" 

This weekend I picked up my new puppy! I have been wanting a puppy for a few years now and after a couple opportunities to adopt fell through, I found my new Schnoodle, Henrietta. She has done so well her first day and she will be starting obedience training soon! The hardest thing so far is finding cool, unique things for her (and potty training, of course!). I will be sharing some of her favorite things soon. 

This weekend I took Henrietta out and enjoyed some of the warmer weather. With Spring comes pastels. Although I have never really been a fan of light blue, I am finding myself drawn to it more this season. I purchased this cropped blouse and faux leather pencil skirt from Zara a few weeks ago and plan to mix them into my work wardrobe. Also, I have been searching for the perfect snakeskin pumps that I could also wear to work. I finally found this pair from the Nine West x Instyle collaboration. If you are searching for something similar, you should check these out. Nine West shoes are always comfortable and last forever. 

BOYFRIEND SHIRT + THE PERFECT DENIM

  

 

Gap denim boyfriend shirt, Gap high-rise skinny jeans, J.Crew mirror metallic pumps, Nosilla Vintage 

wayfarer sunglasses, vintage watch, Essie "marshmallow" nail polish

When shopping for denim, my favorite brands are Gap, Madewell, and 7 for All Mankind. I recently purchased these skinny high-rise jeans from Gap and they are my favorite. I love high rise jeans because they fit my hips while still being small enough to fit my waist. I know how hard it is to find jeans that fit. I also purchased this denim boyfriend shirt. It's so comfortable and thicker than a chambray shirt. 

PINSTRIPE + LEATHER

 Zara skirt, forever 21 tank,  J.Crew pinstripe super 120s blazer, Shoemint heels (old; similar here), Madewell + J.Crew bracelets, ASOS spiked hoop earrings, vintage watch

We had a little taste of Spring on Sunday. It worked out perfectly since I was getting over being sick on Saturday. I recently purchased this skirt from Zara because I thought I could wear it with tights now and without later. Looks like I didn't have to wait too long. Unfortunately it looks like we have a couple couple snow storms headed our way. I hate to complain but I can't take another day of snow. 

STRIPED SHIRTDRESS

 Madewell striped shirtdress, Zara shoes (similar here), Vintage watch, Madewell bracelet, Lipstick Revlon in "Really Red"

Last weekend the weather was perfect. I pulled out this striped shirtdress from Madewell. It's the perfect transition piece. I love the emerald and navy stripes. The weather is much colder now but I hear it may warm up again this weekend. 

WAISTCOAT

Zara waistcoat, Old Navy blouse, Gap high-rise skinny jeans, DV by Dolce Vita sandals (old, similar here), & Nosilla Vintage wayfarers (similar here)

I've never been a big fan of coats. I only own about four. Lately I have started wanted to add more coats to my wardrobe. When I saw this Zara waistcoat, I thought it was so different from what else I have in my closet. It's heavy like a coat with it's wool base and faux fur collar, but it's the perfect layering piece. 

What pieces are you adding to your wardrobe? 

CROPPED

Asos crop sweater (similar here), Rebecca Taylor coat (old), Arden B. skirt (old. Similar here), Zara heels & bag, vintage watch and bracelet

This weekend I helped my dad organize his closet and introduced him to Spotify. I've been listening to James Brown and Stevie Wonder all weekend. I wore this out to brunch on Sunday to Print Works Bistro. They have the most amazing profiteroles. 

HIGH TOP

Madewell skinny skinny coated jeans (on sale here); J.Crew turtleneck + blazer; Loeffler Randall Octavia high tops (in tan and suede); Madewell cambridge satchel (here in navy); Asos spiked hoop earrings (here under $10)

I wore this on Sunday when I went to grab lunch with my family. I searched high and low for these Loeffler Randall high tops but they were sold out everywhere. On a whim I thought to check ebay and see if anyone had listed them. Luckily, there was one pair in my size. Fashion fate.

COZY WEEKEND

Madwell sweater (similar here),  Gap jeans, Nine West pumps (love these), Nosilla Vintage sunglasses, vintage watch

It was pretty cold here this weekend. I decided to wear this Madewell sweater while I went to visit my family and to try a new restaurant in Durham, Zinburger. It was awesome! I love a great burger. They also have a ton of wine selections and delicious milkshakes. If you're ever in the area, you have to try it! 

I hope you all had a great weekend!
