Wanted | Pearls

One trend I am loving for this spring is pearls. I have always loved pearls because I'm a June baby, so the pearl is my birthstone. But I have never loved them as much as I have right now. The classic pearl has been taken and given an edgy twist making them the perfect addition to any outfit. I know I can't wait to get my hands on a few of these pieces. Sophistication with a hint of edge, count me in. Shop my pearly picks below (and one non-pearly pick, oops, but come on a gold zip tie cuff, amazing):

Playing Favorites

What I'm Wearing: Pants BCBG, Similar | Shirt Equipment | Boots Zara, Similar

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

What I'm Wearing: Pants Zara, Similar | Blouse Similar | Sweatshirt Zara, Similar | Sneakers Converse | Sunglasses Chanel

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.

Black & Blue

What I'm Wearing: Jeans J Brand | Tee Aritzia | Shirt Splendid | Boots Zara

Back in September I styled this tee as a dress for the warm weather. Now, five months later, I've taken the same amazing tee and winterized it. Long sleeves layered underneath, black jeans, and boots make this outfit way more appropriate for the snowy weather. I really do love both versions of how I styled this tee, it shows how versatile one article of clothing can be. Which is perfect inspiration for getting through the remaining weeks of winter with a wardrobe thats somewhat tired at this point. 

Stripes & Sparkles

What I'm Wearing: Jeans AG Jeans | Sweater Aqua, Similar | Blazer ASOS | Boots Zara | Bag Marc Jacobs Similar

My mom claims I stole this bag from her, but she actually gave it to me to sell and I decided it was way to cute to give up. So I kept it, which is obviously not stealing. But the important part is that the bag is now mine. I love how a sequined bag adds such a statement to a simple outfit. Definitely an unexpected statement piece and I love it. 

Incognito

What I'm Wearing: Jeans AG Jeans | Shirt Rebecca Minkoff | Shoes Vince

I've previously expressed my recent love for all things camo, here, but this shirt (that's not even mine, it's actually my mom's) reaffirmed that love. Unlike all the items in my previous post, this shirt really takes a modern approach to camouflage. The pixelated print combined with the cool mix of colors and an effortless shape makes this shirt an instant hit with me. And of course I just wanted to keep it casual in a good pair of jeans and some comfy slip-ons. 

Navy & Grey

What I'm Wearing: Jeans AG Jeans | Turtleneck Zara | Tee The Kooples | Boots Vince Camuto

Well it's officially time for the dead of the winter blues, literally. And with yet another snow storm yesterday, I am so ready for the sun to come back. Unfortunately, the groundhog predicted six more weeks of winter, so digging through my closet for more items to layer it is. This outfit was kind of a happy accident. I (re)found this tee in the back of my closet and knew I wanted to wear it. Not wanting to go the easy route and just through on a jacket, I decided to throw on a turtleneck instead. And navy blue and grey is always a winning combo in my book.
