All-In-One

Wearing: Romper Joie, Similar, Similar

In theory a romper is a super easy to wear, all-in-one, perfect outfit option. In practice, however, I find it isn't quite as easy to wear a romper as I'd like it. Luckily I found this one, which fits perfectly, is super cute, and will definitely be worn to death this summer. 

Mexico | Part 2

Love this dress that I bought last minute. I think it was on sale for 30% off with an additional 40% off, so basically I got a major steal. The asymmetrical layers combined with the striped pattern make it the perfect vacation look.

I had to bring this perfect little black dress with me. (Previously seen here) You can't see it in the picture but it has a cute cutout in the back. And since the dress is so simple I wore some statement studded sandals.

Nothing screams vacation like super bright colors.

Wearing: Top Joie

This vacation I finally conquered my fear of white pants. I'm usually too afraid I will be the one to accidentally sit in something while wearing white. But I think these jeans were worth the risk.

Pattern Mixing

What I'm Wearing: Shorts Joie | Top Joie | Shoes Chanel

It's fun to experiment with mixing prints and patterns. It's especially easy when done with neutral colors so you can avoid the whole "do these colors work?" dilemma. And simple prints are going to be easier to mix too, so basically stripes + anything can most likely work. But obviously it will take some trial and error to get it just right.

Ripped

What I'm Wearing: Jeans One Teaspoon | Sweater Joie | Sandals Proenza Schouler

This is probably the last time for a while that I'll be wearing jeans and a sweater (bites tongue, just in case) because to be honest I was even sweating a little taking these pictures. It has gotten quite hot, and I am not complaining. These jeans are definitely going to remain a staple in my summer wardrobe though, the off-white color combined with the perfect destroyed look make them perfect to pair with just about anything. And I'm not packing this sweater away yet either, paired with a pair of shorts its perfect for this warmer weather. 

Puerto Rico

Hey guys! Sorry it's been way too long since I've posted anything. A bad combination of gross weather and midterms kept me from having anytime to take pictures to post, or post anything for that matter. And then once all of that was over I went right on a plane for a quick spring break getaway to Puerto Rico. I promise (for real this time) that I am absolutely taking pictures this weekend and I will be back to posting regularly next week. Until then, enjoy a few pictures from my vacation and be sure to follow my instagram. You can also shop some of my vacation looks below:

Rain or Shine

What I'm Wearing: Jeans AG | Tee Vince | Jacket Joie | Boots Burberry

While not easy to find, a raincoat is a great thing to own. So when I spotted this silvery-blue jacket I knew I needed to have it. Plus, while this coat will definitely come in handy during those rainy days (gearing up for those April showers) it is also a great light-weight jacket for dryer days as well. And while talking about my outfit I must add that these ripped jeans are amazing. I own a lot of AG jeans, but this pair is probably the comfiest/stretchiest pair I've ever worn, and they held their shape all day. You will definitely see more of these jeans because once the weather decides to stop being so cold I will most likely be wearing these everyday, okay not everyday, but very often. 

Pastel Pink

What I'm Wearing: Pants Mother Denim | Sweater Joie | Boots Vince Camuto

One trend I previously discussed for spring was blush tones, and another big trend is pastel colors. I would say this sweater falls right between both those trends. What I really love about it though is the color blocking, which breaks up all of the pink. As you know, pink is not a color that makes a regular appearance in my wardrobe, so it's gotta be something good to make me pick up something pink. And since pink is a bit out of my color comfort zone I threw on my faux leather pants in order to edge up this baby pink look. 

Gray Stripes

What I'm Wearing: Jeans AG Jeans | Tank Joie | Turtleneck Zara, Similar | Coat The Kooples

First of all, sorry for the total lack of posts last week. I got sick and my brain turned off and I legitimately just forgot to post. But, anyway, I'm sure everyone can agree with me that spring could not come soon enough. I am so done with winter, all I want to do is buy spring clothes and actually get to wear them. But since there's still snow on the ground I did the next best thing. I took an item from my spring shopping, this Joie striped tank, and I winterized it by adding a turtleneck underneath. And while I do love the look, I'd much prefer to be wearing this tank with a pair of jeans and no coat, or better yet, with some shorts. But until then..

Fall has officially invaded stores. Although we still to have a good amount of warm weather left (I feel like people forget we still wear shorts in September) most of us are ready for fall. And a new season means new trends. The ones I've seen the most, and am most excited to wear are plaid, animal print, and leather. I love the punk vibes on all the mannequins wearing plaid. Animal print is always fun. And who doesn't love leather, I know I certainly want a lot of it in my fall wardrobe. Only thing is, leather is an expensive trend. I even saw mannequins wearing cheetah print and red plaid, so amazing. I can't wait to try every combination of these fall trends. 

Above is my "dream fall closet but not going to happen because it's all so expensive" wish list. And while it's fun to stare at beautiful expensive clothing, you can check out my more affordable fall picks when you click "read more."
