Denim on Denim

Happy Saturday everyone! 

I thought Spring was upon us, but it's actually really cold in Charlotte today. My look today is one of my favorites. Denim on denim. It's super easy to emulate, but just make sure that your denim jeans and shirt are different shades. Makes a huge difference!

I feel like denim on denim is actually a very neutral palette and can be dressed up with a great pair of colorful heels (or leopard loafers if you are running errands around town).

Lace: A More Romantic Look

Hey guys -

I am so pumped that it is almost Friday! My look today is more "romantic" and work appropriate. Target has recently been getting in some amazing pieces. A lot of floral, lace and chambray! Great staple pieces for the spring. I found this top a few weeks ago for $22.99. Great deal!

Sorry for not finding the exact replica of my cardigan. It's about 4-5 years old! I do want to point out that Loft is having a 40% off sale! I just stocked up on work basics and you may find something similar to this cardigan.

My Tory Burch wedges are my go-to shoes for when I want to remain dressy but don't want to wear high heels or flats. They are incredibly comfortable and well worth the $265 price tag (although I would wait till Friends and Family sales to purchase)

I wear my Banana Republic Sloan Pants everywhere. As a petite person, I really hate flared pants! They completely drown my look and are not flattering on me at all. These pants are a tad stretchy and look so tapered and put together for work. I own them in almost every color they offer. It's also rare to find petite clothing that fits me well, but Banana Republic masters that. 

Hope everyone is as excited for the weekend as I am!

Pastels for Spring!

Super sorry that I have been incredibly MIA! I had a small vacation to Los Angeles and was too busy enjoying the city and didn't have much to post!

It's getting so much warmer recently and my outfit reflects just that. Vince Camuto makes these amazingly comfortable caged heels which are perfect for Spring! They are actually on sale for $79.95, which I consider a steal. The heels are a casual height and can be worn around town.

I'm going back to the West Coast next week, so I can't wait to start wearing more sandals, pastels and neons!

Dress  Asos: Midi Gingham Skater Dress

Is any other location around the country suffering from fickle temperature? I swear it's hot and cold every other day! I have been sick for weeks now.

Anyways, after watching Cinderella (which was amazing and true to the actual movie) last night I came home to a package from Asos. Gingham is so in this spring and pairing it with white sneakers makes it double trendy! I bought this dress in a size 0 and it honestly fits like a glove. I am a little short, so I may need to get the dress hemmed a bit so it looks like a true midi dress. However, heels solve that problem as well.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. It's raining here, so it's Netflix for me!

Leggings  Forever 21: Classic Black Leggings

Boots  Tory Burch: Margaux Booties 

Coat  Zara: Black Anorak

I think I have been wearing leggings every day this week. They are just so comfortable! Camel and black is a classic combination that literally matches with everything. Since its 50 degrees today and rainy, my anorak coat and blanket scarf kept me extra warm.

I love finding a great sale, and I ending up getting this great Marc Jacobs tote for $230. What a steal! I highly recommend to keep checking your favorite websites for deals. They really do change daily.

Shirt  Skreened: Ramen T-Shirt

Shoes Vans: Slip-Ons (kids sz 4) 

I am obsessed with my Vans! Since I fit into a big kids sz 4 (women sz 6 equivalent), I keep wanting to buy more!  Right now I have the blue and white ones. White sneakers are so on trend right now, especially paired with distressed denim and dresses (during the warmer months). I love my Chuck Taylors, but they keep nipping on the back of my ankles. :-/ These slip-ons are pain free and highly fashionable! Since Vans have been worn for years, I doubt they will ever really out of style. It's a great staple piece for any wardrobe.

 

Leggings  Forever 21: Basic Black Leggings  

Shirt  Burberry Kids: Tulisa Tee (sz l4)

Tote  Longchamp: Le Pliage Large Tote

Flats  Marc by Marc Jacobs: Black Flats

What can I say, I love buying designer duds in children sizing. If you're petite, I highly recommend it! For timeless brands (such as Burberry), clothing is about half the price.
