KNITS AND RIPS

Happy Friday!! These jeans are on repeat! BLANKNYC makes great jeans. I’m a sucker for destroyed denim. It’s taking over my denim collection. These jeans have rips, but also have white paint splatter. At first I wasn’t too sure about the paint splatter, but it’s nothing too crazy. I love pairing my distressed denim with cozy knit sweaters. The tough looking ripped denim balances out the sweet detail of a knit. This ...

BACKLESS SWEATER

I have a thing for sweaters and knits. I can’t get enough! Although I have way too many, this one is different than any other one I own. The open back gives this sweater a unique look. I kept the rest of my outfit pretty simple. Of course my go-to booties made an appearance. Ladies, these booties are amazing! Hands down my favorite shoe as of late. I wear them all the time! Since my outfit was pretty simple, I added my favorite pair of ...

JOGGER STYLE

This sneaker and jogger trend is amazing! I love it! Joggers are everywhere right now. These ones are a combination of joggers and leggings. Some joggers can be very baggy, but these ones are nice and tight. They have a lot of stretch to them, but do not stretch out — major plus! They come in this charcoal grey and a black. I am wearing a size small to give you an idea on sizing. I do believe they are true to size. The sneaker trend is ...

FAVORITE TUNIC

I’ve never really been into tunics. I think I just couldn’t find one that I absolutely loved. I always felt frumpy or silly wearing such a long top with jeans. Well that’s changed! I stepped out of my comfort zone and found this gorgeous FREE PEOPLE floral tunic on sale at Nordstrom. It’s price matched, so Nordstrom lowers the price and matches it when another store is selling it at a lower price. I love the pale blue ...

TIPS FOR WEARING A UTILITY JACKET

A utility jacket is another closet staple of mine. They come in different styles and a range of colors. However, they are all similar when it comes to styling one. Unfortunately this jacket is no longer available, but I have linked other ones at the bottom. Add a feminine detail your outfit. Whether it be heels, bold lipstick or  jewelry, this will add that little girlie touch. With jewelry you can opt for a statement necklace, or statement ...

WRAP SWEATER

sweater, leggings, shoes, sunglasses (budget friendly here and here) Most days I’m wearing leggings and sneakers (except for work). This wrap sweater has become a favorite. I loved it so much, I have it in black as well! It’s super cozy and extremely soft. I literally have been living in both of mine. My gray one is a medium and my black one is a small. The gray one is a lot longer and just looks a little bigger/ looser than the ...

RUFFLE SLEEVES

top, jeans, booties here and here (similar styles here) Ruffles are everywhere this year! You can find this trend on tees, sweaters, and sweatshirts. They add a feminine touch to any simple tee or sweater. This tee is extremely  comfortable because it’s loose fitting — I’m wearing a size small and it’s an oversized fit. It also comes in a few other colors, but I opted for black because it’s a common color in my ...

Black, white and shades of gray are my jam! The denim shirt not only acts ...

This dress can be worn with a lot of ...

OLIVE LEATHER

jacket (on sale!) also love the black, tank, jeans, flats This olive faux leather jacket is a great twist on a classic leather jacket. The olive color is a great neutral alternative to your typical black leather. Also the knit drape front really sets this jacket apart. It’s a combination of a sweater and leather jacket. Honestly, it’s the best of both worlds. And can we talk about how nice this faux leather looks?! BLANKNYC has ...
