NEUTRALS FOR THE WIN

jacket| top| bralette| jeans| shoes| sunnies My love for neutrals is never-ending! Neutrals can be worn year round and make outfit planning easy peasy. This Free People tank is my new favorite basic top. I have a few colors and it cost $20. This top also goes perfectly with this bralette, another obsession of mine. They have lots of colors and the lace detail is on point! I have been wearing these bralettes all the time for deep v-neck tops. ...

LEATHER, RIPS, AND SNEAKERS

Even though it’s finally spring, I will still wear a lot of black. It’s a perfect neutral, goes with everything and just looks so clean. The BLANKNYC faux leather jacket I am wearing is currently on sale. Leather jackets are the perfect closet staple because they can be worn with so many outfits! I love how a leather jacket looks with ripped jeans, but I love it with a gorgeous floral maxi dress as well. There are also a ton of ...

SPORTY CHIC

Another easy sporty chic outfit inspo for you ladies! I would consider this look another uniform for me. It’s easy, comfy and best of all— practical! Sneakers are perfect when you are running errands. A baseball hat is perfect for hiding that overly greasy hair you were just too lazy to wash. It’s also on trend with the sporty/athleisure look. This sweater is very soft and comfy. I also own it in the gray color last seen ...

ONE DRESS, TWO WAYS

dress (old last seen here and here) similar here// sweater// sneakers// hat Isn’t it amazing what accessories can do to an outfit?! I love having something in my closet that can be used in multiple outfits. A simple black dress can easily be dressed up or down. To dress it down I wore some comfy sneakers, minimal delicate jewelry and a baseball hat. It’s an easy outfit that’s casual, but still looks put together. I’ve ...

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

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 ...

Olive Green

stem t-shirt, paige jeans (old similar here), sam edelman petty booties, rebecca mink off bag, alex and ani bangles I am all about wearing pieces that are neutral and have the ability to be worn with multiple outfits. I found these olive green Paige jeans last year at Nordstrom Rack. I really love the olive green color. It’s neutral, but still adds a bit of interest to the outfit. I love to pair it with other neutral colors. These ...

Everyday Neutral Makeup

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend, I know I did. Today I wanted to talk about my everyday neutral makeup look. Although I love getting dolled up, putting a full face of makeup just isn’t practical for me everyday. I work as a preschool teacher and honestly I just want to look presentable, but not like I rolled out of bed. So here is what I do: 1. After I have washed my face, I apply Josie Maran Aragan Oil, (sometimes I use ...

Favorite Lip Colors

 1. Bite Beauty in Honey Berry, this is a great neutral that isn’t quite the same color as mine skin so it doesn’t make my lips disappear. This is one of my go to colors! I plan on trying other colors from Bite Beauty because this lipstick is amazing 2. NARS Roman Holiday, a sheer bubble pink color. It’s very subtle, but adds a beautiful color. I love the texture of this one because it is not drying. This is my other go to ...
