NEUTRALS FOR SPRING

It’s currently pouring rain, but I’m all giddy for spring. Even though spring is still a little ways away, you can start transitioning your outfit into a spring look. During the winter, I tend to gravitate towards dark colors such as black, gray and navy. Although I love those colors, I wanted to add lighter neutrals into my style. Neutral colors are the perfect addition to any closet. They go with everything! Lately I have been ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A FEW CLOSET STAPLES

sweater (on sale here!), tee, jeans, booties (budget friendly dupes here) I have always liked the silhouette of a peplum top, but this tee is an updated version. Most peplums can be very formal and dressy, usually something more for a nighttime event. This is a basic tee with an added girlie touch. It’s extremely soft, loose fitting (I’m wearing a small) and comfortable. It can easily be dressed up with statement jewelry or ...
