Golden

Wearing: Jeans Citizens of Humanity | Top Aritzia

Yellow is not typically a color I gravitate towards. However, there was something so perfectly vintage-y yet current feeling about this blouse that I couldn't pass it up. I love it paired with distressed, high rise denim for a cute but casual look. 

A Bit Boho

Jeans Aritzia | Blouse Aritzia | Shoes Vince

The perfect vintage-inspired denim and this boho blouse make for the perfect casual Friday look. While both are pretty unlike most items in my closet I instantly fell in love with both. Maybe its the excitement of the two music festivals in my future (Firefly and Lollapalooza), or maybe its the invasion of 70's inspired looks, but I've definitely been leaning towards more boho pieces lately. So while it may be the first, it most likely won't be the last boho look I wear this spring.

Tropical Details

Sometimes simple is better. Especially when simple pieces have little details that help make them special. Like these shorts, classic black shorts, but the leather detailing gives them just a hint of an edge. And then there's the top, cute white blouse from afar, but the shoulder detailing makes it even better. And a simple outfit gives the accessories some time to shine, like some statement yellow wedges and the cutest tropical printed clutch, which are perfect for summer. 

White Lace

Happy first day of spring! Kind of, maybe? I don't know, I just need nice weather to come and actually stay for awhile. Regardless of the weather, though, it is officially spring. And I must say spring brings out the girly girl in me. Something about the warmer weather makes me want to just wear tons of florals and lace and all other super-feminine things. So obviously this white lace shirt fits perfectly into that idea. 

Back In Plaid

I think it's pretty well established by now that I have a love, or pretty strong obsession, for all things plaid. So in that case, a perfectly plaid blouse is nothing new or exciting. Although I must say I love the colors of this blouse in particular because the pale pinks and yellow in the print make it perfect for spring. But the exciting part is that I bought it from The Outnet for 65% off. And while Equipment blouses are gorgeous, they do not come cheap, so getting one for more than half off is amazing. The best part, they have tons more styles on the site, plus lots of other brands too. Shop some of my other Equipment picks (all on sale at The Outnet) below:

Checked Out

This coat was another find on last week's magical trip to the front hall closet, and I wish I had known it was sitting there sooner. What better way to add to a simple monochromatic outfit than to throw on a checked coat? It adds something special to the boring old jeans and white blouse combo. Had I known about this coat's existence sooner it would have no doubt made a frequent appearance in my winter wardrobe. Fortunately, though, or unfortunately, there's still time to wear it now. 

Playing Favorites

I do try to switch up my wardrobe and try to wear new pieces or style old pieces differently, especially as winter drags on, but I am definitely guilty of playing favorites. I find that by the end of the season I'm basically wearing the same thing everyday, and it usually comes down to strictly comfort. So these pieces have been at the center of my wardrobe as of late. I love that these faux leather leggings are so comfortable but they add edge to any outfit. And this Equipment blouse with the black and gold always makes a statement. So it's comfortable, yes, but I always try to stay stylish too. 

Boy Meets Girl

Today I've decided to work some of my favorite pieces in a totally different way. I've taken some inspiration from the boys for a look that's pretty different from my usual style. There's something so cool about menswear influenced womenswear though, the slouchy, laid back nature of it all just feels  effortless. So to create this look I've taken my pinstripe trousers and paired it with a basic white blouse and Zara's take on a Givenchy sweatshirt. Now, if everything went the way I wanted it to I would have been wearing these with this outfit, but of course they were too narrow for my feet. So while I'm still on the hunt for the next best sneaker, (because let's face it the sneaker trend is everywhere right now) my trusty converse do the job for now.

Half Off

It's one thing to find the most perfect pair of Burberry burgundy boots online. It's quite another thing when their is one pair left in your size. And it's the best thing ever when those boots also happen to be FIFTY PERCENT OFF! Yes, it's so exciting it deserves all caps. (Found them on My Wardrobe, by the way) I kept the rest of the outfit simple, with ripped jeans, a white blouse, and my coat. And while I really wanted to wear these jeans because I'm in love with the wash and the perfectly destroyed denim, you won't see them again until Spring because it's just too freaking cold for any type of exposed skin.

Mix & Match

What I'm Wearing: Jeans AG Jeans | Sweater Aritzia | Blouse Equipment | Boots Zara

New day, new combinations. I decided to layer my floral Equipment blouse under my comfiest sweater for a relaxed look with a pulled-together feel. This time, since it was on the warmer side this weekend, I even rolled up the sleeves to give a peek of floral at the cuff too. And of course, I finished off the outfit with my wardrobe staples, some AG jeans and my Zara boots. 

Double Down

What I'm Wearing: Jeans AG Jeans | Denim Shirt Free People, Similar | Blouse Tildon | Boots Tory Burch

Winter is all about layering, however, I wanted to try something new. We've seen layering a button down with a sweater plenty of times. But what about layering a button down with another button down? It was kind of just this idea I had in my head for a while and I decided to give it a try. And I must say I love it. I think it works well because of how different the two shirts are though. The crispness of the white shirt against the laid-back nature of the denim shirt adds a fun contrast. And since it was sunny out on Saturday, instead of an impending snow storm as it is now, I got to roll up my sleeves.
