Wore my new favorite t-shirt and heels to grab a quick breakfast of coffee and eggs last week at Buvette with Lydia, Alicia and Natacha. I have to say these heels are incredibly comfortable and to be perfectly honest, I loved them so much, I just bought a second pair (as well as the black version) to have as a backup. I guess when I find something I love, that’s also comfortable, it’s a win win situation in my mind, right? Do you guys have any tried and true staples in your wardrobe that you swear by? Would love to hear! xo
Remix: Denim On Denim, Take Two
RayBan Aviators / The Limited Scarf (gifted) / Thrifted Denim Buttondown, Belt / Madewell Jeans / H&M Socks / Aldo Loafer Heels / Charlotte Russe Bag (gifted) /Coach Boyfriend Bracelet (gifted)
This version of denim on denim is pretty different than yesterday’s ensemble, and definitely skews more towards my inner (or obvious) prepster. So now I’d like to know which look you like the best? And, would you wear either of these outfits?xoxo
Inspired By: Miss Kendi Lea
Urban Outfitters Earrings / Vintage Bird Blouse (20Twenty in Ballard) / H&M Belt / F21 Skirt / Black Tights / Aldo Shoes (c/o)
This outfit was directly inspired by what Kendi wore yesterday. Is that creepy? I hope not, because I am constantly inspired by my blogger buddies and this time was no different. That is how smitten I was over her outfit. Also, I love black and tan together, as well as animal printed blouses, so I dug around in my closet and this is what I came up with.
P.S. I now need a shirt with foxes on it, like this one!
Inspired By: Kendi Everyday
Banana Republic Blazer (gift from friend) / F21 Checked Shirt (thrifted from Buffalo Exchange) / J.Crew Belt / Vintage Republic Jeans (c/o) / Charlotte Russe Bracelets (c/o) / Emma Stine “Golden Fauna” Earrings (c/o) / Aldo Shoes (c/o)
Hence the title of this post, I’m pretty sure that the lovely Kendi from the popular blog, Kendi Everyday, is the inspiration behind this checked shirt. She has worn this gingham version quite a few times in different ways, and never fails to look adorable in it, thus leaving me wanting one of my very own. So, you can imagine my excitement when I came across this perfect piece while shopping around in Seattle with A. Plus, it was like $9, so it was clearly a no brainer.
I can only imagine all the different ways I can and will wear this button-down all year round, so I’d like to thank you, dear Kendi, for providing the inspiration in the first place. Also, I’d like to send out a thank you to the random person who sold this awesome shirt to Buffalo Exchange. Rock on.
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: Just Put Me In A J.Crew Catalog
RayBan Sunglasses / Banana Republic Blazer (gifted from a friend) / H&M Striped Dress (thrifted at Buffalo Exchange) / UO Shorts / J.Crew Belt / Gray Tights (?) / Aldo Oxford Heels / Charlotte Russe Bracelets / Jeweled Necklace (?) / Accessorize Ring (c/o) / Tulle Jacket / Accessorize Scarf (c/o)
Lately I have been into autumn neutrals, such as burnt orange, rust, gray, army green and every shade of mauve and beige I come across. I love tossing all these colors together and seeing what happens.
{ It’s no secret that I love J.Crew and their catalogs and styling, so I was convinced that this particular outfit belonged in their next lookbook. I am also convinced that J.Crew should scoop me up and have me as their next guest stylist. La-da-dee-da-da-da. A girl can dream, no? }
Anyway, daydreaming aside, I was pretty happy with this outfit and plan to try different versions of this look throughout the season.
P.S. Can you believe that tomorrow is December 1st? That means Christmas is right around the corner, which means flying home to Seattle is right around the corner as well. I. CAN’T. WAIT. xoxo
