My Outfit: Pretty In Pleats
F21 Beanie / Emma Stine “Golden Fauna” earrings (c/o) / F21 Shirt / Loft “Military Wool Jacket” / H&M Belt / Thrifted Skirt (Value Village) / Thrifted Seychelles Heels (Buffalo Exchange)
I was talking to Krystal via gchat last night and was telling her how I’ve realized that, although I may be a chameleon when it comes to all the different types of styles I wear, I mainly bounce between preppy, classic, edgy and back again. This trifecta allows me a lot of freedom to wear many various items and feel creative when putting together an ensemble. Case in point, this outfit is extremely different than… this, this, this, this or even this oldie but goodie, but I’m comfortable in each look and they all feel like my style. I guess I just like variety when it comes to my clothes.
What style would you say defines you? I would love to know! xoxo
P.S. I wanted to share a quick note behind each item (you can see where everything is from under the first photo), because I am particularly fond of all of these pieces separately and together:
Beanie: Makes me feel cozy and I love the shade of gray.
Earrings: Made by the very talented designer, Emma Stine, who I love to support.
Shirt: My bat-wing gray top (worn here) is uber comfortable and an easy layering piece.
Blazer: Brand new and twice on sale and has a removable collar. Have been eyeing it for a while and was able to get it with some Christmas money from my Godmother…thanks P!
Skirt: Thrifted for about $7, which, on top of loving the skirt, the pricetag is pretty awesome in itself. (Excuse the wrinkly pleats!)
Shoes: Not only are they Seychelles, one of my favorite shoe brands, but they are in a rust color that I have been searching for over the past few months.
My Outfit: Puddle Jumping
RayBan Aviator Sunglasses / Charlotte Russe Necklace / Need Supply “Shearling Lined” Jacket / Loft Blouse / ModCloth “Pretty Pleats” Skirt / Aldo Shoes (c/o)
The rain has been coming down here in Seattle, with bouts of sunshine here and there peaking through the clouds, which has made for lovely backdrops and scenic shots. So, when the drizzle took a brief rest, I knew I had to sneak in a few snaps before the drops started up again. The air was brisk enough to wear my new shearling jacket from Need Supply (yay!) but not so cold that I had to wear tights.
Besides loving this cozy new jacket, I am extremely fond of my new midnight-blue, pleated, double-tiered from ModCloth. Whether you dress it up for work with a crisp white button-down, a high pony-tail and Mary Jane heels, or dress it down for brunch with a boxy cropped sweater, a braid and leather flats, I love how classic and feminine the style is, while still remaining versatile and understated. Definitely a new wardrobe staple for me. Check it out here! xoxo

My Outfit: Down on the Docks
RayBan Sunglasses / Zara Scarf / Charlotte Russe Necklace and Ring / F21 Cardigan / H&M Dress (worn as a dress, thrifted from Buffalo Exchange) / APART “Imagine Parka” (c/o) / Jessica Simpson “Tuxedo Jeans” (c/o) / Gilt Groupe Seychelles Boots
I hope you all had a relaxing and happy holiday. I spent mine surrounded by friends and family, eating lots of yummy food, playing games and catching up with loved ones. It’s always hard once Christmas is over, but I still have a bit of time left in Seattle to relax, enjoy my time here, and soak up the beautiful scenery. I’m also really looking forward to my New Year’s Eve plans…but more to come on that soon! Hope your Monday is a happy one! xoxo
Merry Christmas!
I hope your holiday was filled with lots of family, food and fun. xoxo
